Real Wizard Queen have overtaken The Beatles now as far as influencing a new generation of bands, and for the record Eric Clapton said Brian May is an amazing guitarist and he said "He does things on that guitar that i never could" You lot on here cannot debate without getting stroppy.
Queen + is a watered down weak version of a once very strong rock band.
What is the point of Queen+ the answer to that is money.
Brian knows only to well he and Roger will never record with miss Lambert and performing all the old hits is pointless, it has been done for the past 9 years and by now people should be bored rigid.

The Beatles are untouchable as far as influence goes. Mind you, I said the same thing months ago on another thread somewhere and The Real Wizard seemed to disagree with me. Can't remember where but someone blabbered on about Quincy Jones and The Kinks being more influential. Jesus wept.
In terms of global sales, Queen have sold more than the Stones, Zep, AC/DC, Floyd etc and are second only to The Beatles as far as bands go.
Roger once said he didn't want Queen to become their own tribute band. In my humble opinion that's exactly what Q+AL is. Some people like the Lambert thing and will defend it, others don't like it and will slag it off. You are perfectly entitled to do either.

Rockchic i do not give a flying fuchsia if they are touring next year cos they wont be getting my money so all is good.
The point of this post was just to tell you what Freddie said back in 1986 so keep your hair on .
At least Freddie had the intelligence to see Queen was four special musicians that got together to make that Queen trademark sound legendary and when the four of them where not together it was NOT Queen and it still is not. They maybe called Queen + Adam Lambert but they are not the complete Queen group so its not a complete, we had this argument on here years ago.
No John Deacon No Freddie Mercury now how can they call themselves Queen?

The point is, you do give a flying what ever. The fact this band have stayed together and continue to successfully tour drives you to the point of repeatedly informing us you don't like what they're doing and you don't like the singer who they have chosen to work with.
You waste your time repeating the some drivel over countless threads which ultimately gets you no where. Your moaning is not going to stop them touring, is not going to stop those who enjoy what they do buying tickets. You are a million miles from the many level headed people who have no interest in what the band currently do, but don't feel the need to bombard everyone with a constant stream of crap.
Some people like it, some don't why are you incapable of just leaving it there.

Showing admiration for someone, and saying they can do things you can't is NOT the same as saying they influenced you. You said that May influenced Clapton. Wizard said that Cream came before Queen. Wizard is right. You are not.

Funniest thing you've ever written here. But still wrong. As shown in the very statement above, you're the one who can't debate as you miss (or selectively ignore) the valid points that others have made and create arguments that are not there to suit your own (now really boring) agenda.

I actually agree. In fact, I don't really see anyone who doesn't. However they still have a right to perform, whether you like it or not. As has been pointed out to you several times, don't fucking bother with them if you don't like it. How thick are you that you're still banging on about this?

They're clearly not. But many are bored by you.

having said all that, people realise that I'm actually an utter retard and complete fanny and so should be ignored. Am I best fucking off?
[/QUOTE]
We know and yes, you should now fuck off.

Yeah Roger Taylor always was a keen driver, he was always going to take advantage of his Bentley's power while the rest of the band relaxed in air conditioned Connelly hide luxury.
Of course the Beatles were at a disadvantage with Paul McCartney driving as there rather old Rolls Royce had a right handed steering wheel!!

Well i guess i am wasting my time with you lot on here as all you do is through insults about when i am only asking a civil point on here with this thread
and as usual THISTLE is off his head on crack and gets foul mouthed WIZARD has the cheek to compare shit band like Deep Purple & ACDC to Queen and knows nothing about
Queens track record in the rock world and VOCAL HARMONY seems to think The Beatles are still together, Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thistle · Member since
No, I'm not on crack. I don't need to be, reading the shite you spout.
If shouting "crackhead" is your best comeback to an argument against your drivel, then you've just proven what an empty headed little tit you are.

I forget the context, but I honestly can't recall doing that. At any rate, my apologies to you and for wasting Jesus' time.
There's just no debate that The Beatles are the biggest thing since Beethoven.

Your ad hominem arguments are pathetic.
You can't understand a simple concept like Queen being influenced by Cream, and you're accusing someone else of not knowing anything about music history?
Drive on, man. You can't buy a vowel, never mind a clue.

Just Skimming past what everyone has said, so shoot me if that this has already been brought up...… Mr Right, you say that Queen are not Queen without the 4 members? so does that mean, "Seaside Rendezvous", has to be removed from "A Night At The Opera" since the track does not have Brian on it?... Also does "Is This The World We Created?" has to removed from "The Works"? and so on and so on..... just saying like.....

Yeah, I guess Long Away, Sleeping On The Sidewalk, and live versions of Love Of My Life weren't Queen songs either.

You ignorant dunce.
The level of musicianship in Deep Purple in the late 60's and on into the mid 70's was far beyond what the members of Queen could match. Mr Wizards understanding of music, not just Queen covers ground your not even aware exists
Crack head and foul mouthed, are you talking about yourself again, sounds like the opening line of your autobiography, actually that's all that could be written about you, Thistle is a lot more level headed and educated then you could ever hope to be.
As for your (usual) misguided misquote where have I said The Beatles are still together, please feel free to quote that line in my post using the quote function I'm eager to read it. Or is it just a demonstration of your idiotic mind set.

Made in Heaven is a good proof that not the 4 members of Queen have to be together to create something that some people call magic. Even more when you consider that most of the work has been done by Bri, Rog an John seperately and not together.

^^^^ yeah it's a great album, more so when you consider the circumstances under which it was recorded.
