C´mon guys!
I think Elton just said it ocassionally...
He also said that Queen were the most important artists in Rock ´n Roll history...
nobody remarked that...
His one of the greatest British artists... but Queen is so much better!!

As I have not been to the musical don't take what I say to seriously, but I have seen little bits on the TV and on DVD's I have bought, and I have to say that if you had to take thoses Queen songs away then the show probably would be rubbish! But as I haven't heard or read any diologe then I can't truley say. But put it this way, if you got some figure skaters or ballet dancers to improvise to Queen music, then that would be a success as well because of the music!!!
elton who?

What a bitter little bitch!!!! He's been cutting everyone down lately....what's his problem? Getting old and fat isn't an excuse to be so crappy to WWRY.....doesn't he have a play coming out? I hope his stupid play gets lousy reviews and no one cuts him any slack. I believe he really hurt Brian's feelings....read his Soapbox. Maybe Elton should get his nose out of the Beckhams' ass (he is godfather to one of those kids, I think)and concentrate on what he does best - nothing.
I just think that we don't have to pay so much attention to what Elton or someone like Nikki Sixx have said about Queen. What does it change? Nothing for me!
Nikki Sixx has always been respectful to Queen - he IS a Queen fan. Nikki also considers Brian as one of his idols - I don't think that Nikki's nice remarks about Brian should be compared to Elton John's crappy remarks about Queen.
I don`t think "crappy remarks" is fair. If he doesn`t like the musical, then he can say anything about it. For me, the most stupid thing is how Brian defends it based on how many people have seen it. So, based on that, is Queen II bloody crap just because they couldn`t make thousands of people make a standing ovation every night when playing it? are Jamie Moses and Treana Morris useless musicians because they haven`t got as much success as, say, Nsync?
Well, maybe that explains the fact Brian now instead of working with Steve Howe or Eric Tomlinson, puts the crappy band they now name "Queen" collaborating with Robbie Williams, Five, Beyonce and so on. Paul Rodgers is an exception, since he`s not a one-day-star, he`s famous but he earned it through years of very hard work and though his amazing musicality. But who knows... maybe after working with him we`ll get the new tour Queen + Usher, of course (who can doubt it!) with Nelly as special vip guest. And whoever (respectfully or not) dares to say it`s not the best thing ever will appear insulted and belittled all over Brian`s Whine Shrine (aka Soapbox).

Now I have to agree with you as far as the collaborations of "Queen" and some of those idiots, namely that PATHETIC Brittany Spears and Pink in that Pepsi debacle - that made me literally sick. The way those spoiled brats acted at the premiere of that commercial in London was horrible - have some respect little girls, and realize who is standing behind you - living legends named Brian May and Roger Taylor.
Why would they give a toss who Brian or Roger are anyhow - their music is COMPLETELY removed from their's and have a completely different target audience. It's simply the fact that WWRY is a "famous" song that they had any involvement with each other.
To be fair, they have probably forgotten that the Ad even existed by now.

As Freddie would say "you fagot" Elton always reminds me of a child in a candy store that wants something and can't get it. Do you think the drama Queen is jealous?
I've always though it was a slap in the face that Elton got to sing Bo-Rap at Freddies Tribute concert.
Maybe Elton's attitude is why Freddie and Elton relationship cooled almost to the end of Freddie's life!

Yes, you are correct, they have probably forgotten alot of things by now...
I certainly don't understand what people have against Brian.
I mean, many people here complain about Brian's whinning, but they whine even more than Brian does. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion about the collaborations with 5ive, Robbie Williams, Britney, Beyonce, and Pink sure weren't great points in Queen's career to some but they were just one time moments that are long gone. They're already part of the past and people seem to keep bitching about them. Don't you think it's time to get over it?
As far as the musical goes, I can't tell you whether it's good or bad because I haven't seen it, but as far as I'm concerned no one is being forced to see it. Personally I'm not very interested, because from what I see going on with the plot it seems like a lame storyline with possibly well arranged Queen songs. Yet Brian and Roger are entitled to do whatever they want. Queen is more their band than ours, and that's the problem with many music fans.
Remember those stupid Metallica fans who made a fuss when they cut their hair short, well seems to me that Queen also has it's share of that kind of "fans".

Uh, OK...........not.
i agree!! brians gotta good rite to be annoyed!
put yourself in there shoes all the hard work they put into that musical and elton dismisses it like toilet paper as if it were just knocked together in 2 days!! he is completely unproffesional and to top it off he slates it in an interview not in passing comment so i think once again jealous elton rides again lol,
and yea i remember years ago when he and freddie fell out in the 80's, i think elton see's all the things going on i.e. bo-rap voted No 1, musical doing very well, radio stations having queen day it goes on and on, and hes suicidel with jealousy lollll
