this whole carrying on of the "queen" charade is ridiculous when will they ever give it a rest?? they are frigging soiling the queen legacy i mean what with this absolute trash movie and trying to make as much money out of anything they can as possible? after seeing rogers "ring" made out of his cymbals selling for like 400 dollars i actually had to sit down out of shock it is RIDICULOUS and HAS BEEN

Everyone wants a Rogerring as the Official Queen site shared the link... bit.ly/rogerring
(I actually DO want one. I think they're really cool! And we live in a consumerist society where there is that part inside us (well, me) that feels life is empty and dismal and meaningless and we're all gonna die, but at least if we can fill the VOID within with some shiny STUFF we may feel a modicum better.
But I don't have a handy £300+ quid, sadly for me! (Or perhaps for the best, ultimately?) So my VOID is destined to remain the chasm it is.)
It is super out of touch: Like "I'm a multi millionaire (I have no idea how much the Queen guys are worth) & here I shall sell you stuff at a price that I have no concept of how unaffordable it is for a normal person... and I can't imagine how there WILL be people out there who will spend money they don't have or can't afford to for this, money which I won't even notice on top of all my millions..."

I'm saving my hard earned money for the red special chopsticks.
The band is nothing but a brand at this point.
Last one to leave, please turn off the lights.

Why would they be desperate? They have enough money. And they are musicians. Performing and playing music is their life so why not keep doing it before they can't. Yes I wasn't a huge fan of the movie but it has opened up their music to a whole new generation with is a FANTASTIC thing. Good on them I say but like everyone else, I'd like to see them release some stuff now that the real fans want. And sure, $400 for a ring could be a little pricey, but if made out of Roger's cymbals they will be limited and unique. Each to their own but people will buy them.
But no, they are not desperate, they are marketing and doing what makes them happy. Some agree with it some don't. What we think is irrelevant

I don’t think they’re desperate. Someone in marketing brought the idea to the table. Roger went along with it. I think because their popularity is at an all time high, their market share has also expanded. Whatever they sell, will probably sell at this point.
Because of the movie, the Queen brand is bigger than the band.

The most desperate thing they ever did was make the movie ' Bohemian Rhapsody'

And Adam Lambert riding around the stage in a tricycle like a little freak baby how fucking embarrassing is that for us Queen fans,
the man is a first class tit.
May & Taylor should be shot for letting this weirdo take over Queen.

Maylor have become the Simmons and Stanley of Queen. They would even sell Freddies ashes if they owned them. And the movie might have gotten them new fans but for the Price that everyone believes the lies they spread
