Nice jab at Brian and Roger.

Nick Mason didn't write the songs. Brian May wrote a solid chunk of Queen's material and started the band with Roger. One out of four members is a long way from half of a band.

But honestly - it's 2018, and plenty of bands are keeping their old names after a ton of membership changes. There are even two bands calling themselves Yes now, and of the eight guys in those two bands, there is one original member.

So maybe it's time that you whiners just moved on and let people who started bands do what they want to do with them.

Nick wrote Speak To Me ;)

He even provided lead vocals on some tracks (Corporal Clegg f.e.)

He was very important for their live sound. Especially the 1970-1972 shows are amazing. Their best live period, IMHO.
