Has the current incarnation of Queen worn out its magic?

...even just that is a lot.

So If you don't like Adams Voice your narrow minded? I'm not a big Queen + paul fan, but at least he was on the same level as Queen. The show I saw in 06 was good. They tried and failed to be creative with TCR.

Yea, but some people on Queenzone, without mentioning names loves everything Brian and Roger do. Even if they know it's not good, it's almost like he works for Brian May.[/QUOTE]

Subtle...

Your black and white view of the world hinders you in ways you can't realize.

Sebastian had provided a more diplomatic explanation than I'm willing to give you.
[/QUOTE] yea, I Agree with Sebastian but I have seen him critisize all four members of the group and praise them as well. Are you capable of critisizing Brian May? He's my favorite guitarist, love his sound, but I'm not a fan of his work over the last 30 years, aside of a few moments. Roger was the highlight of the Rodgers tour.

They're a good tribute b(r)and and certainly very professional at adding millions more to their already huge stacks of cash. I'm not sure why they hate Trump so much: they're both doing the same thing -- taking a fake show out on tour to generate publicity for their business empire. Maybe Trump didn't pay them enough.[/QUOTE]

You didn't just compare a rock band to a racist xenophobic demagogue, right?

A rock band that played Sun City, perceived by the music industry as condoning apartheid, and has a history of tax avoidance?
Similarities abound.

Seriously? Playing at Sun City made them racists? What they were perceived as and what they were / are is two entirely different things (I hope you're joking here). As for tax avoidance, they did nothing illegal, and you can pin that one on many artists, and with how much they have to pay, I can't say I really blame them.

They were also a rock band with a singer who was an immigrant himself, and a rock group who've been very charitable, unlike Trump, who apparently, hasn't been very charitable whatsoever. Plus, Trump rips people off, I don't recall Queen ever doing so.

I don't think there's "similarities abound" at all. Far from it.

But again, hopefully you're joking.

Queen are amoral at best when it comes to commercial matters.
While operating at peak I do not recall any charitable actions by Queen.
Playing Sun City was perceived at condoning ,or at best, acquiescing with apartheid regime.
They were ruthless in trying to get success and only adopted this lightweight pop star liberalism in later years.

Also the Bulsuras must have got automatic British citizenship , being from a protectorate
Probably easier than for Trumps mother from Isle of Lewis going to USA
