I think that there are too many points to compare between this two bands. I believe that if Freddie Mercury was alive, he would be the best singer at the moment, and I think nobody could compare with his voice, he was also a great showman. Bono is a great singer, and one of the best at the moment, and i would give that credit to u2 also. They make excellent music folks!! like Queen has in its time. Both are great. And if we start thinking about actual bands i think that u2 and Queen old records save us from listening that horrible music. All the bands are called ... "the..something".Come on "Is this all worth it"....?
i read somewhere that u2's latest album already sold 8.5 million copies!
but you can't compare the 2 bands as u2 still is a "working band"!

all I want to say about this is:you have very very talented people and you have geniuses.queen are geniuses while U2 are just a great band.freddie was a much bigger star than bono will ever be becuase he had this thing called charisma.he made queen better than anyone else.queens music is also much more diverse and that's important aswell
,more than selling records

I think Queen can only be compared to bands of the level of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and The Beatles.
U2 while still great, stands at a lower level.

Their website membership costs 40 (in words: FORTY) Dollars a year - they put out lt.
You would have sounded so much better without this part...
Yes, the membership costs $40, because it's their official fanclub. It is a bit higher price than the unofficial Queen fanclub, but at least they have up to date news, exclusive web content, and priority ticketing for all their shows. The band members even actually seem to care about the fans, since they posted an apology to those who couldn't get tickets because of the touts, and promised to refund people who had signed up just for the pre-sale, and couldn't get tickets.
If Queen would have had anything like that, I would have been happy to subscribe. :P
Well the priority ticketing went downhill - loads of fanms didn't get anything at all - so they had to pay back the 40 $ in fear of legal action as the "smallprint" said "guaranteed Tickets for members" - see at the U2 boards - u2.com is utter
crap even fans say that
U2 is going to tour in the same year as Queen, that is bothering me! Of course U2 got a new album so it's obvious that they would tour this year, but still...It's Queen's comeback and I think that they deserve more publicity than U2, just because U2 has been there forever and Queen were "out" for 14 years!
Anybody agree with me or am I talking complete B&%shit? :P

U2 bigger than Queen....thats hilarious..
queen are up there on a scale which cant be matched, it was said at the brits " queen the greatest rock band in the world" franz ferdinan said it back stage as well as shit face chris evans,
no disrespect to u2 but bono is one boring front man,, if you asked someone who's not a fan of either queen or u2 i bet they could name more queen songs than u2, even u2 or sick of bono with his politics,
as freddie stated he hates political messages in songs! long live the mighty queen!!!!!!!!!!!! who are the biggest. :)

I suppose that's true, considering that most of those who didn't get to buy a ticket were from USA. :P
It must come in handy for Queen that it doesn't collect money from anybody via the fan club... Nobody can make any claims after all their recent fuck-ups. :/

Trust me
If Queen was touring, they would be receiving (at least outside the States) more publicity than U2. But since what we have here is 50% Queen and the guy from Free and Bad Company going on tour, then it doesn't grab that much media attention.
I for once I'm more looking forward to see Green Day.

you cite FF and Chris Evans as the "argument for why they are the biggest?" how can anyone (let alone YOU)respect the opinion of someone YOU refer to as "shitface"?
anyhow for the record (UK charts only - as it's all i have)
Top 10 albums
Queen - 21/25 (84%)
U2 - 14/17 (88%)
No1 Albums
Queen - 9/23 (39%)
U2 - 10/16 (62%)
Top10 Singles
Queen - 22/50 (44%)
U2 - 23/36 (67%)
No1 Singles
Queen - 4/50 (8%)
U2 - 5/36 (13%)
on those figures alone - the irish boys are winning - shame we can't get hold of the worldwide slaes figures and then we'll see just how much of a lead the Dublin lads have right now - it'd be close - but don't get me wrong - they have been consistently outselling queen since 87's Joshua Tree
U2...*Get's the chills* I can only handle like 4 songs...
u2 are no 1 this week as well
told ya :P

These days you only have to sell a handfull of records to reach number 1. Its not that hard. Back in Queens day it could take weeks to get to number 1. A new relaese getting to number one back then was a very rare thing.
