Thank you! You heard Rog right. He implied that Page was a better curator and he wasn't interested in a big archival release and if they were going to do anything he'd rather they do something new...him and brian could write a song or two.
This is not news. This was a question he was asked and he replied how he's always replied. He'd like to do something new and doesn't see any reason to.
Brian seems to be the one holding back on it.[/QUOTE]
These guys annoyed me.
They are not interesting Queen archives. Do what they want and do it wrong. It can mean only one Queen is dead.

If your a creative person you never look back, it's always forward, they fought for years not to do a Greatest hits, I really hope they do bring out some new stuff, it's not like we can't listen to the old... I'll be happy to get the archives if and when they do happen but until then if they have new things to do bring it on, this is EXACTLY why I got into Queen in the 70's, they didnt just do the same thing each time, what you guys who weren't around at the time don't get is NOTW, JAZZ, The GAME, FLASH, HOT SPACE, were all massive moves from what people expected at the time, the music press didn't know what to do with them, they didnt just do ANATO over and over unlke every other band that just repeated the same old stuff year on year, just like bands like Oasis, hit of a formula and repeat until your dead, bands like Queen throw all the peices up in the air everytime and do what THEY want to do, which is exactly why I loved Cosmos Rocks, people have hated (allegedly) everything they have done since Sheer Heart Attack, yet funny isnt it they still draw massive crowds all around the world... go figure
New material, bring it on...

That's why they've spent the last twelve years touring with a name invented in 1970 and playing mostly songs written before 1991.

Yes but you can't wipe the past and start from year zero every time you step on a stage.
Togg is right, in as much as his observation about the unpredictable nature of each album. I'm sure that if they choose to record again it will be different to what has gone before.
Even a band like Rush who were very much against repeating themselves played long shows that were almost always at least two thirds old material .
King Crimson is another example of a very unique and forward thinking band, but their recent tour relied heavily on Red and pre Red material.
In both cases, as with Queen the live show doesn't always represent what the studio work was about.

I'm not asking them to do that. It's their choice - but it clearly shows they're not above 'living in the past.'
As Roger once sung: "It's easier from an armchair."
The guy is 67 and can do whatever he likes.
In a few years he'll move next to Deaky and they can play bridge together.
Enjoy the boys while you can.
