I don't think Robert Smith has realized that he's too old and fat to still be wearing make-up and dressing up like a skinny 80s goth.

The exact quote from Robert Smith is:
"Well, I never liked Queen. I can honestly say I hated Queen and everything that they did. To have that rehashed and reheated for a second time around is pretty weird. So, no, I don´t like The Darkness at all. I think they're a comedy band."
It's just plain silly, he's just trying to annoy ppl by saying he hated everything that Queen did. By saying that The Darkness is exactly like Queen is just dumb, I like The Darkness but their style very different from Queen. Smith obviously doesn't know what he is talking about. I don't mind him disliking Queen or The Darkness, I don't mind him talking about his dislike but he's just comes of as a silly old fart.

Robert Smith talking about Live Aid taken from http://www.picturesofyou.us/85/m-85-12-depecherock-france-1.htm
"It's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen on television: Freddie Mercury was ok, but Bob Dylan, Keith Richards and Ron Wood took the cake, they were so terrible! It was humiliating in the extreme, it was that bad."
So he didn't hate Queen at Live Aid so he was just talking out of his arse when he said he hated everything that Queen had ever done.

You took the words right out of my mouth. He was on telly recently and was a complete shambles. He made The Stones look youthful!

Mr. Jingles: Is that a real Roger Waters quote? Haha!
Apparently Brian really liked AC/DC because I have a picture of Brian with an AC/DC shirt...I wonder if they fought a lot about what bands were good/bad....

Yes, that's a real quote from Roger Waters.
I don't know when he said it, but I found it once at a Pink Floyd website.

They're probably just jealous.

He's allowed to have his own opinion, even though I don't agree with it. You can't like every band, although dismissing everything Queen did isn't the smartest thing to do.
