No doubt : It's always a matter of personal opinion on what Queen were and are in our days. In my opinion , though, after Freddie's death, there were three options for the band: 1) stop producing and performing as Queen (see Led Zeppeling's choice) 2) start a new path either as solo artists or as a group with the members stil interested in working and creating music together 3) continue to perform as Queen the old repertoire adapted to new formats, replacing Freddie and Deacon with artists suitable for this project. Said that, we can argue for ever about which, in our personal feeling, would have been the best choice. As a matter of fact, Brian May and Rodger Taylor opted for being still the old Queen restyled in new formats.

The way you say Freddie and John have been replaced by artists suitable...even when AL says he is a guest and hasn't replaced Freddie.
Brian, Roger and John have worked as Queen after Freddie died, and Brian and Roger have released solo music. Brian and Roger have also toured with Paul Rodgers, and have worked with other artists
And it's Roger, not Rodger Taylor.
I don't think think this is the old Queen restyled. It's not even close.

Not true. Queen found a workable arrangement. Les Zeppelin didn't, despite several attempts.
They reformed for Live Aid, The Atlantic records gig and the o2 gig. But they also had several rehearsal periods with other drummers and even a drum machine! Through the 80's and 90's. All these attempts fell through but it wasn't down to your suggestion that they made a decision not to work As Led Zep.

If you're going to try and show your superior knowledge and be insulting,at the very least, try learning about what you think you know.
May 1988 was Atlantic records 40th anniversary which Led Zeppelin played at.
The London o2 gig in 2007 was played as a tribute to Ahmet Ertegün, you clueless cunt.

VH ... you are being unreasonable. Mr wrong was very close. In the grand cosmos of things 19 years is a blink of the eye .

Yeah you're right, that time line was probably less than the blink of an eyes
