Do we f**king own them...?

to andymezza_uk...

I think you confused something ... I`m really 27 years old, but I never mentioned I had seen Queen.
I think I said it like that: I would have went to a concert in the 70s and 80s...

Actually my mother and step-father saw Queen in 1986 in Vienna, but they would not take me with them (I was only 9)

Well there are a few arguments that I will make. First of all, we as fans do not own Queen. In that sense I mean that we cannot tell them what music to produce or when they should tour etc. But its important to realize that without the fans, Queen would have nothing to do. They could go on making music, but if no-one buys it or listens to it, whats the point in making it. Its fair to say that fans have control over the success of Queen because without us they would have no-one to make music for.

I Agree with Peter.

Queen along with Freddie died in 1991.

HE was Queen for F@ck sake! I hope the tour FLOPS.

The Queen name should not be USED. Why don't they call themselves Taylor & May and Friends if they want to tour, bit like Page & Plant they don't go under the name Led Zeppelin cuz funnily enough it aint Led Zep. Quite simple really.

Infact Brian and Roger I will do the maths for you. 4 Musicians - 2 Musicians = 2 ie a duo not a band, Get It.

THE LEGEND OF QUEEN MUST NEVER DIE

What would Freddie say?

If he will appear in my dream next time, I'll ask him "What do you think of that?"
But millions of poeple around the world want to dream of him, he is always busy with visiting many people's dream, so I don't know when he'll come ;-)

your real big spender, i love that tune, especially the way sings it at wembly.

Awesome posts, Fenderek. You're the man!

Fenderek is absolutely right! cool words!

Cheers

is their a law against complaining, if the man wants to complain he has every right.

Anyway I don't like to hear them spoken ill of...considering what they have done for over thirty years.
I think they have worked for many things that some people have not known.
I'm one of the big fans of Freddie and to me Queen was almost Freddie as lots of fans feel.
I have bought many DVDs only to see all of Freddie's performances.
But I don't hope they will fail.
I hope they will do to some degree.
Though what I wrote seems to lack logic...

And this tour may help... :S

I'm sorry to all you "Freddie only" fans out there, but Freddie wasn't Queen. Listen to Mr Bad Guy or Barcellona for the proof of that. Neither was Queen, May, Taylor or Deacon. Queen WAS the four members working together. I don't think that any one of them would have made it as big without the other 3. I wish that Queen were still the original 4 members, but that isn't possible. This is the best we can get and I for one am glad that it's happening. If it's good (and I think it will be) it could be great. If it's bad, well people will say that it just prooves how good Freddie was. Either way it doesn't affect the great legacy that they have left us already. Freddie was a one off, and can never be replaced, we all accept that, including Brian and Roger, but to say that they can't use the name that they have used for over 30 years is ridiculous, and I am sure that Freddie would want them to continue, or he wouldn't have told Brian to release "Driven By You" or recorded the final tracks for "Made In Heaven." I am only guessing, but remember, the people most likely to know what Freddie wanted are Brian, Roger and John. We don't know what John is doing or his reasons for doing it. We do know that Brian and Roger want to tour, and they are getting my support until I KNOW that they don't deserve it anymore, and since no-one has seen the tour, or heard any new material, no-body KNOWS if it will be any good. It might even be better than Freddie. I doubt it, for me Freddie was the greatest front-man ever, but we haven't seen the new tour, so as I said no-one knows what it will be like....
Sorry for such a long post, but all the negative comments are irritating me. Comment on what we know, not what hasn't happened yet. Speculate, yes, but judge, no.

Good said, English Bowman. Exactly my meaning.

you just stole my thoughts English Bowman :)
very well said!

Okay, I'm not very impressed by Pauls' WWRY and WATC at the MHoF .. But Allright Now was .. who! what a performance! If thát is what we can expect of this tour .. then it will be f*cking great :D
It's just what Brian told; there was that magic .. so for me I wish them all the best with the our and the album!

fred is my all time favorite, but you are right, it kills me when people disregard the other members, they all had a part to play, and yes fred was the best frontman ever, but brian is also one of the best guitarist ever, top 20 at the least. to the above comment, mabe mr. bad guy wasn't to successful and wasn't freds best work, but given a chance it's good a listen, and i don't want anyone ever putting down barcelona, it's one of my favorite albums ever, i understand it's a required taste, but it's so original, the mercury/cabelle story is almost as fasinating as the queen story. truly a gem, like i said fred is number 1 and brian is easly my second favorite muscian ever.
