If you've got nothing positive to say about Queen in the 21st century .

I am sorry to break it to you but there is no Queen in the 21st century only some cover combo using the name plus a "+" behind it to make people believe this is the real deal. Queen stopped existing on Nov 24th 1991.

They fucking haven't, find one document to say that it's ended. If you want to have it ended then tough luck - it's one thing Freddie won't've wanted to happen. Don't waste where the majority see Queen as still exisiting to this day.

You come across as only liking Freddie - he was in a group where he wanted all four members to be treated the same. So, you saying a comment like that is not only being disrespectful to Brian and Roger, but to Freddie - if he didn't want to be in a group then he would've been on his own and he didn't like that.

Pepsi commercial, Robbie Williams, the musical, QAL ... all boring IMHO

Well that's a shame for you. Millions of others don't find them boring. I think Freddie would've wanted his music to be seen on a wide scale and I think with things like this, it's working.

The Pepsi advert had alot of hype about it. Honestly to me that is one of the worst things Brian and Roger were ever involved with since 1991. I think that was tacky as heck, one of those wtf were they thinking about.
The Queen musical, I've never attended it live, but I do know it turned many people into Queen fans. Robbie was nothing special at all.
The Pepsi ad, Robbie, was just thankfully one offs. The musical, I'm going to be honest, I never expected that to be as big as it was. Sometimes I have to eat my hat ;-)

Maylor have become modern grave robbers. Insulting Freddie but selling their crap on his back. They should be ashamed of themselves. Kudos to John. The only alive Queen member with dignity

I disagree with what you say about Maylor but aside from that anyone claiming John is the only one with dignity is just refusing to see what's obvious, John retired from music in 1997 for his own reasons, nothing to do with dignity and it was well before Maylor collaborated with Paul much less Adam. They all thought it was over at that point but they've had a second and third chance of doing what they love, John wasn't interested and that's his right, it's that simple and they have nothing whatsoever to be ashamed of, thousands of fans are getting to see them live (not everyone thinks only Freddie mattered) and there's now tons of new fans interested in Queen music because of them doing all the projects they have (including the movie you hate).

The Musical was ok for what it is. A musical. Too bad Maylor smelled there is still tons of money to be made with the Queen name hence came Queen +. Their solo stuff did not sell well so they rode the dead horse Queen again. QPR was ok because it was a believable collaboration of three rockstars. They should have dropped the name though. QAL is just like the musical: kitschy overblown broadway glitter. And on top the annoying twat destroying Queen songs. They could have taken ANY Singer from the Queen Musical and there are lots of better ones. They went for the AI loser and became a laughing stock after more than 8 years with this tool. Sad decline

@Young Music Fan : Runner70 is correct in that Queen do not really exist because Queen was a complete unit of four men, two are missing and as Roger Taylor
admitted they are not Queen because today Queen is only a brand name to sell tickets.
Freddie, Roger John, Brian were Queen not Brian & Roger get it ?
Further more Runner70 is correct in saying the real Queen band died the night Freddie did.
Brian just pretends he has a band now and they tour the world just doing the hits which is very boring with a nobody like Adam Lambert.

Summary: I am always right. Life can be simple:)

If John is really annoyed with what Brian and Roger he'll have done or will do a court case. I'm sure he's not too bothered because he'll still be getting royalties and probably more thanks to these extra opportunities.

philip storey, for me it is about the music! I was too busy in the 70’s and 80’s getting married and raising babies to attend live Queen concerts so unfortunately I didn’t see them back then. I was not an American Idol fan and didn’t see Adam audition singing Bohemian Rhapsody but after I channel surfed and saw him perform I Get No Satisfaction and Ring of Fire and how exciting it was that he had a dream performance in the finale with Brian and Roger, through that experience I have become a huge fan of both eras.

Before I get jumped on, it’s I Can’t Get No Satisfaction!

Freddie is an original and one of Adam’s idols, along with Michael, David Bowie, Elvis and even Madonna. It is taking awhile but I think Adam is leaving his mark with his creative interpretations of both existing and new music.

no. this is completely wrong. this is only an individual's perception of this situation.
Queen DO exist as long as any founder member wishes to continue as Queen.

Some may not like the new projects, but they are definitely Queen.

Many bands continue after deaths, splits, expulsions. A band only fails to exist once there are no founder members in the lineup.

There's one exception to this rule: The Drifters - who by nature of the group's concept at inception is that members would come and go whenever - the band's name confirms this.

They may still call themselves Queen but the spirit and ambience of the band is gone!
Same for other bands that do that like Dave Hill's "Slade" not the same. Status Quo ( now with only "Francis Rossi"
and Queen (with only Brian May & Roger Taylor) the magic and spirit has died.

but that's your opinion, and it could be the same for others. The only opinion that matters is that of the band. it's their right to continue to use the name.

With the difference that most of those mentioned are still recording artists who won't do endless greatest Hits tourings which are completely pointless. Freddie would have hated being a nostalgia act. Nonetheless they promote their crap with "Freddie would have loved it". He would not. They just milk the cashcow nothing else. And noone replaces the most iconic frontman ever with a lousy second rate AI loser. Noone!!!!!

Wow, I think there are thousands of people who would argue that the magic and spirit of Queen music has NOT died and is stronger than ever!

[color=blue]But at the end of the day, if there's an audience they'll continue - it's their right to do so - not yours to decide.
If the crowds stop coming (and Queen decide to continue regardless) then - and only then would you have a valid point.[/color]

[color=blue]Conversely, you talk utter shite lady. The "spirit of queen music" is certainly healthy, but in no way whatsoever is it "stronger than ever". You really have no idea just how ridiculous that statement is, do you?[/color]
