If they gonna name it Queen it's OK with me as long as it's Queen AND Paul Rodgers, because Paul is not a Queen member. Don't get me wrong I'm pleased to hear that 'Queen' is going on tour and with Paul Rodgers as a singer and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go and see them. But Queen is not Queen anymore, but it is still Brian and Rogers music and name, that's a fact! I hope this tour is great and that Paul is not going to sing like Freddie but just as his self, 'cuz no-one can replace Freddie Mercury! I hate all the NEWS that r saying that Paul Rodgers is replacing Freddie! makes me sad :(
Richard... Love4another!

Old Dogs On Tour :))
Got to be "Taylor May'd"
I think Queen should not be compared to any other band. Queen have their own way and their own bond. They don't need to follow other band's example.
So Brian and Roger are still Queen, but Paul Rodgers is Paul Rodgers...
There will never be another Freddie Mercury...
I don't mean to say ambivalent opinion.

hhmmm.... just Brian & Roger Queen itself?? I don't think so. Maybe PART of Queen but not totally Queen
Indeed without Freddie and John, they are half of Queen in fact.
Only saying that Brian and Roger are still Queen, it is against what each member used to say many times, that is, Queen have been always four.
But I mean to say they have the right to call themselves Queen if they want.
Brian and Roger: Use 'Queen' to your heart's content.
My logic?
1. If you are from the Smith family and your brother dies, are you still not part of the Smith family?
2. Freddie was part of a 4-man band. The band was not named "Freddie". The remaining members have the right to carry on.
3. The other Queen members wrote many, if not MOST of the biggest hits. They have the right to perform them.
4. Many other bands HAVE been successful with new singers... Van Halen, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and even Journey (which Steve Perry was not even a part of when they formed). Santana has used several lead singers. Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship had many singer changes and endured quite well.
Nothing will ever taint the Queen legacy of the past. Freddie's place in our hearts is safe, but the band deserves more. Let's feel fortunate, and not 'robbed'.

Look. I am not trying to say you're wrong, but just a little bit challenge to your logic:
The children of the Smith family can carry the name after their fathers, so Brian and Roger's children can call themselves "Queen", too?

Personally the sentence "Paul Rodgers is replacing Freddie" makes me so sad, too...I won't see any but I hope they will do well.
For to Freddie, Brian and Roger were partners that could not be replaced.
It's very personal feeling and out of this topic.

This is just for having fun thinking on names for BR & RT if they were not authorizad to use the name Queen. of course they can use it. i don't like the idea. not without John Deacon but still they can use the name of their band.
Paul rodgers is not replacing Freddie Mercury, but that's not what the press say.

This is true. they can do what ever they want. even mistakes, but this is not changing Queen's history from 70's and 80's. if they do stupid things now, it's not changing Bohemian Rhapsody, Keep yourself alive, I'm Going Slightly Mad or Staying Power...
OUR queen is safe in our records, our memory and our hearts, so let Brian & Roger do what ever they want with teir lives
it's juts the fact that a lot of us don't like the idea of them using Queens name without Freddie Mercury and John Deacon.
