In fact, from my point of view, Queen wasn`t Queen until John got in. John didn`t replace any bass-player, they looked for a bass-player until they found the one. So that`s the proper start. Of course that`s only an opinion.
About the legal thing, I don`t think they have to send John papers to sign everytime they do a stupid collaboration as "Queen" + Someone, I suppose he already made a kind of statement about "do what you want", obviously still a lot of money would end up in his pocket. While I think it`s good for him not to destroy the image of the band with lousy concerts and flawful duets, I`m a little dissapointed that he couldn`t even say "hi" at one of the DVD extras or the Bo Rhap thing.

in my opinion, john deacon should be back to queen because many fans will love it and the band don't still so mutilated. deacon is a great composer, bass player! please, mister deacon, come back to the light too!
John won`t come back....
because he seems to be the only person in the world to accept the simple facts... on 24th of november 1991 Freddie died - and so did QUEEN.

I think John wants the best for Roger and Brian, but he doesn't want to be involved by himself because he's concerned about his family. I can understand that.
I don't think John have big problems using the name Queen. By the way, they gonna call themselves Queen + Paul Rodger so why do we have this discussion??

Certainly the only one in Queen to accept that.
I agree that John won't come back. He won't do interviews, either. Why would he? He has the money, so I shouldn't think he gives a shit. He isn't a celeb-type, and I get the impression that he hated being interviewed, and only did it out of the requirements of the job.
Brian and Roger are a f*cking disgrace. They aren't doing it for the love of making music (they could easily do that under their own names, either solo or together). They're doing it to milk and old, dead, once glorious cow. Money and glory. F*ck the two of them!
Why can't you just let them be Queen? They are not trying to replace Freddie, they just want to play to us fans live for the first time in 18 years. How many times have bands like KISS changed they're line up and their fans don't care because it's still KISS but with differant members. Please leave Brian and Roger be. JOhn effectively left Queen and his say in what the rest of Queen do now wouldnt change anything (i.e. if he said you can't go on tour and they said yes we can, then he can't do anything about it really). And why would he be bothered? If he doesn't want to go on tour with them then that's fine and he wouldn't get involved.
And as I've said about 10 times, how many people do you think would pay to see Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rogers?
Then compare that too the amount of people who would pay to see Queen. There will be a HUGE amount of differance.
Brian and Roger are what is left of Queen. One passed away, another retired. We have 2 of the 4 of the greatest band ever, and more importantly, the greatest live act ever. And although Freddie was THE showman and John was THE cool, calm but effective bass player, it wouldn't have been the same without a screaming guitar; brilliant drumming; a blonde rough voiced, rough haired punk and a NATURALLY curly haired guitar genius (and songwriter extraordinaire).
We can't have Freddie, and John is doubtful, but we get the other equally important 2. So please stop complaining about something that is out of your hands. It's their band and their name, they can do as they wish in my book.
God Save The Queen...

You are a fucking disgrace mate. They want to make music together, as Queen. The band they both love still. And I doubt very much they need anymore money. And you will eat your words if you see them live. And if a new album comes out in the next few years. It will be great. And you will realise what an idiot you really are. Queen fans are without a doubt the most unlikeable people on earth. O.k not most of you, but some of you are. Other bands fans do nothing but lavish praise on how good their band is/were and if they did a tour they would be greatful and excited. I think I'll go and be a Stones fan.

You can`t compare it with KISS .... KISS was almost always Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons in the first place ... they had different drummers and guitarists and nobody really would notice it. So as long as those two are on board its working. Also the Rolling Stones are not in their original line-up, but as long as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are together they ARE the Stones.
But speaking of Queen all members were equally important (Freddie even a bit more, because in the public eye FREDDIE WAS QUEEN), and I don`t think they would have continued if John, Roger or Brian had died. Also, you rate Brian + Roger a bit too high. Brian`s guitar playing was certainly important, but they only really became successful, when Freddie came on board. He wrote most of Queen`s early classics and all the grandeur about queen was HIS idea. Even the name came from him.....
so I think everybody who says: "Freddie is dead, so what" is entirely ignorant of Queen`s history. My god, we didn`t even have BoRap, We are the champions, Killer Queen, Somebody To Love and countless other songs!!!!!!

FINALLY SOMEBODY AROUND HERE WHO ISN'T NARROW-MINDED!!! :)"
Read all my posts... It irritates me that it's always about the name Queen... Brian and Roger want to make music together, let them call themselves whatever they like.

go back and listen to Queen with Britney "Fucking" Spears ... that says everything about Brian and Roger ... embarrassing!

> My God! Freddie died, and so what?
So what? the band died with him.
> He didn't want the band to die after this!
Freddie, Roger, John and Brian had said in tons of interviews through the years very clever statements about "we`re a band of four", "we`re equally important", "Queen is only Queen with the four of us"...and I still feel that. Queen without Roger isn`t Queen. Queen without Brian isn`t Queen. Queen without John isn`t Queen. Queen without Freddie isn`t Queen
> Isn't Brian an amazing guitarist?
Yes, he`s an amazing guitarist, with a great voice. So instead of damaging the name of the band with lousy collaborations he could form a new band or go solo.
> Isn't Roger a fantastic drummer?
No. He WAS a fantastic drummer. But if you see his drumming at Pavarotti & Friends and their other poor performances of the post-AW/EF era, I think a blind chimpanzee with parkinson plays better.
> So why to finish the band?
Because it`s over
> I want to see Queen playin'!
But you can`t
> My fav. guitarist and drummer are members yet, and will perform some of the greatest songs of the world!
As John S Stuart said, perhaps B&R kick ass, no doubt about that. The thing is ... they`re not Queen
> If John left the band, he doesn't have the right of finishing the band!
John didn`t left. The band died
> they just want to play to us fans live for the first time in 18 years.
They have played live a lot of times in these 18 years. Moreover if they just do it for the fans and not for being on the news then:
a) Why didn`t they play at Benidorm and made hundreds of fans spend half a thousand euro to see them and be stood up?
b) Why can`t they change their name and leave everybody happy?
> How many times have bands like KISS changed they're line up and their fans don't care because it's still KISS but with differant members.
If you think nobody has complained, then you still have to meet loads and loads of Kiss fans
> Please leave Brian and Roger be.
Even if we didn`t want to "let them be", we can`t do anything about it. They already trasehd the name of the band several times, now they`ll do it again and nobody we say can stop it. But, at least we have the right to express our disagreement
> how many people do you think would pay to see Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rogers? Then compare that too the amount of people who would pay to see Queen. There will be a HUGE amount of differance.
Yes. But few lines above you said they did it for the fans. So, if they do it for the fans, it doesn`t matter "how many people do you think would pay". With that in mind, they can change the name, because it`s for the fans
> Brian and Roger are what is left of Queen.
If a person loses his brain and his kidneys, no matter his heart and lungs work, he died. Queen was a "four-people-person", and it`s over as well.
> The band they both love still.
The band... or the fact their names and faces appeared on tv? If it`s the first, then they wouldn`t sell-out as they had done from 2000 onwards. If it`s the second, wel,, there you have an explanation for their lousy actions.
> And I doubt very much they need anymore money.
I don`t think they do it for that. In that way we do agree.
> And you will eat your words if you see them live. And if a new album comes out in the next few years. It will be great.
Great, but not Queen, only Brian, Roger & Someone. Still great, but not Queen. Not better, not worse, just different. Not Queen.
>Other bands fans do nothing but lavish praise on how good their band is/were and if they did a tour they would be greatful and excited.
That`s what I do find stupid. So if Paul McCartney farts in the middle of the concert I have to make a standing ovation? Deep Purple are very famous, and even though they already made their na

I do (for the most part) agree with you, Sebastian
only two points: concerning KISS I only wanted to point out that they COULD continue without Peter Criss and Ace - Eric Carr was a even a better drummer - but of course many KISS-fans are still complaining about this. And their "new" drummer (Eric Singer) was already their drummer in the early 90s. But Queen could continue without Freddie.
the other point: Why does Britney "Fucking" Spears imply that I don`t like pop music - I like Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Ultravox, Duran Duran, A-Ha, The Cars, Spandau Ballett and Prince (amongst others) - what that was good POP-music. Britney Spears and all of todays pop music are shit!!!!
