John Deacon is the only smart one out of the remaing three. Brian and Roger look act like two old washed up rockers. I like the play cos it keeps their legacy alive, but other things like working with spears and pink, also they play same songs we will rock you and champions over and over. while john has simply let go of something that isn't there anymore.

Yeah, our John's smart all right. He has nothing to do with Queen save for collecting royalties, and the other two (still very active and keeping Queen in the public eye) working hard on Freddie's legacy...and keeping a promise.
They are not washed up in any way. I think they're very smart and shrewd businessmen who fight for what they believe in (Queen) and that's keeping the music going and introducing Queen to new audiences throughout the world.
John is not smart, he should be joining his bandmates. He was one-quarter of Queen and should be active in everything...but that's his decision, one I am sure he's bound to regret someday.

I have to disagree. All of them are smart. Atleast Brian and Roger are trying to keep Queen's name alive. I know Queen will never be Queen and so do they, but by still making public appearances they are reminding people of a great band that was once in existance. However, I don't like how they did get together with Brittany and Pink..ugh.
I don't completly agree with you MourningElektra, i think that John DEacon as done nothing to keep freddie's memory, but if you think that playing with Robbie Williams, Pink, Britney Spears, Beyonce will keep alive freddie's memories i think your so wrong. They should stop fooling around with this people and start a serious Rock'n'roll project, and everybody would be so gratefull.
That's true but here's my point: no matter who is singing it, the music's still there and ongoing. I would dearly love to hear some new music from Brian and Roger, and I'm sure there is some since Freddie's death, but we will simply have to be content and wait. The guys have been as busy as when they last toured as a band. Even though we've been hearing some Queen music in different formats by today's "artists" (ha!), I think it's great that Freddie is being remembered daily (along with the rest of the band of course), not just as "that band from the 70s and 80s" or "the singer from Queen who died of AIDS a long time ago". They have endured over thirty years and will continue to endure as long as people will enjoy their music. I rather like the symphony versions as well. I just pray no-one ever records a *gag* country version of any Queen song! But if they do, they should do it with style. That's all that counts, dear!
I think Brian is really smart.
He is really nice, and gives good advice.
Roger is smart too!

If Johnny Boy was so smart, why did he wear those horrific short shorts?
All three they are smart.
Brian and Roger for keeping Queen alive in our memories and bring out new stuff.
John for doing nothing, enjoy his family and keeps his hand up for the royaltys.

We had this discussion many many times before.... I'm getting tired of it.

Actually country singer Dwight Yoakam did Crazy Little Thing in 1999.

John has more than enough money to live comfortably. Brian and Roger have done great things to preserve the Queen name(the concert reissues and the play and AIDS charities) but some actions were not cool(playing with Five(the UK equal to N' Sync), Robbie Williams(not Pink Floyd's longtime tour manager but the pop star) and the three skanks(Britney, Beyonce and Pink)). I can't agree with everything Rog and Bri have done since Freddie died but for the good ones they are worth it!

Dwight Yoakum? *snicker* About at country as Billy Ray Cyrus...
Pass the barf bag!
Brian and Roger are doing the "commercial thing", being diplomatic and staying "with the times" by collaborating with the flavours-of-the-moment. Gee, if the Spice Girls hadn't fizzled out so soon they probably would have done a version of WWRY as well!
Remember, Brian gave glowing reviews about Avril Lavigne...God only knows why! A lapse of judgement perhaps?

I guess he just likes her music. Nothing wrong with that. Taste is relative.
QUEEN IS DEAD.
Though I will never cease listening to their recordings & watching their videos, Queen is "live" no more.
I wish Roger & Brian would MOVE ON, reband AND >>>RENAME<<<.
MUSE, on the other hand, played here in Chicago Saturday night and were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. White Hot. Razor Sharp. Sonically Astounding. Technically Stunning. And very much ALIVE. Equalling even Radiohead among my favorite modern rock bands, I daresay. I pledge allegiance...
