That's hardly the way royalties work

Thanks for the link to the article, interesting read especially how The Cosmos Rocks (and Rodgers) has been disowned by all. I said this back in the day but the reason it wasn't in the shops was the record company knew it was a turkey the moment they heard it. Why spend money polishing a tu**?

Can't agree with Mooghead's assumption. They have money unless Brian's bought mansions for every badger in Britain and Roger has pissed it away on his 27 alimony payments per month. However, they're not doing it for art. It's legacy. They want Queen music to be heard 50, 100 years from now. That's fine. I wish that Brian would quit speaking for what Freddie wants or wanted. If John Deacon said "don't make me boring, but for God's sake, don't use the Queen name with a reality show runner-up, I don't think Freddie would mind me saying that" people would shit all over JD saying he's a hater, a dinosaur who can't get over the glory days. Let's be honest: people who want Queen to continue exist would accept Adolf Hitler or Charles Manson as a singer if they could hit the high notes. They're Stepfords. people who don't want Queen to continue wouldn't accept a choir of angels replacing /freddie. They're haters. It's like religion, you believe or you think it's a crock of shit.

...and he probably has....!

"... but we have desire to do great things. That's never gone away. Like when I played on the roof of the Buckingham Palace. Freddie was nowhere near it...."

Oh look, clearly Brian's ego hasn't changed.
If Freddie would have played a gig in some local pub and connect with an audience, left his emotional imprint on someone to remember for the rest of his life it would still be greater than playing on the roof of the Palais Versailles. There are many posters here on Queenzone who either met Freddie personally or attended a gig and have a wonderful memories to reflect on. It is really greater achievement, one of the great things Freddie achieved than an opportunity to play on top of Eiffel Tower or whatever....

My 2 cents regarding the present collaboration = If I would have to choose between BM + RT staying in their homes and releasing remasters from time to time or playing with Adam, then I support them being out there and playing with Adam.
