Does anyone feel somewhay...betrayed by John?
I dunno... but i feel like John sort of abandoned queen.
Yes, I can understand him not wanting to be in the public eye so much, but he seems to want to forget he had anything to do with queen.
Its a bit like, Freddie worked with queen til the end, and I have no dobut, that even though the tour might be there last, Brian and Roger will appear in public as queen, even if not to perform, while John just gave up...
Anyone else feel the same way?

I don't feel 'betrayed' by John because:
1. I personally don't know him.
2. I haven't ever worked with him, let alone play in the same band with him for over twenty years.
3. I am not currently apart of the Queen+Paul Rodgers tour.
4. You're an idiot (ok ok, I had to throw that one in there because this is ridiculous.)
None of us should feel 'betrayed' by John.
It isn't our personal business.
We're just fans.
Yes....we have the right to be upset/mad/angry/sad that John won't be taking part in the tour, but betrayed? C'mon people.
Unless you've known John and played with him in Queen (in which none of us have) then shush.
The man wants his privacy.
And I'm sure he doesn't care what online Queen nuts (myself included I suppose) think. As far as I'm concerned, we can feel 'betrayed' all we want; he's not going to care about fans he will never meet.
Cheers

I wasn't saying that he had to care, I just meant that there are some people who have strong feelings about these sort of things.
but then...maybe betrayed was the wrong word... maybe i should have used upset or mad.
But you get the general idea of what i meant.

I feel that John was the only living member of Queen who didn't betray Freddie.
Oh? How so?
Do you feel this tour is a betrayl to freddie because he is being replaced?

No.
I was referring specifically to whisperer
i do understand your feelings with regards to john, but i dnt feel betrayed, i think hes had enough of it all and prob thinks queen are over now since freddie....i dont know maybe after he last performed as queen with elton maybe he felt that magic spark and energy was gone??! who knows!
i dnt know why but i think john is a bit of a lost soul some how since queen, b/c music is his life and he was spotted outside the musical last year so he still possibly is interested in whats going or to see what they done to his songs lolll.
whoooooo knows apart from mr deacon but good luck to him anyways as he's earned it.

There are a handful of people who feel the same way as you. But it is just a handful.
Personally, I think if you're going to go down this route, I think you should moan about Fred wantonly taking it up the arse without doing us, his loyal stepfords, the basic courtesy of using condoms...or at least leaving us his house to write graffiti on.

I feel John is the smart one.
John has said that Queen died November 24th 1991.
Freddie was Queen.
Queen without Freddie is like your car with no engine....it can't operate.
John knew when Queen was over....John didn't betray anyone....John accepted that the band he was part of, ended early because the bands most famous, most recognizable member died young.
The Queen name should be laid to rest.
Queen is John,Roger,Brian and King Mercury...
Tell me that I am wrong....should a concert with Brian, Roger, Paul Rodgers, and a couple hired nobody's be called Queen.
Its just dumb.
Wait...John Deacon just called...he wants me, him, the drummer from Devo, the singer from Romeo Void, and the DJ from Vanilla Ice to tour....we going to call ourselves Queen.
How many of you are coming?
How many of you would accept us calling ourselves Queen, with only one original member in it?
To me... 2 original members in a band, and calling it Queen isn't much better.

Penetration_Guru....with a name like that, we are to assume you are an expert in taking and receiving it in the ass?
If Freddie wanted to dry hump a gorilla, and take a black midget and a can of axle grease to a island for a man on man romp...whats it to you??
He contracted AIDS to be disrespectful to you...his loyal fan?? Who probably downloads every other Queen album.
Give me a break... that comment was straight out of the trailer park.

Hey now.
Let's keep this topic to where it was originally supposed to be going, shall we?
Betrayal WAS in fact the wrong word, unless you were using it in another sense other than describing your personal feelings.
However....you did not. Therefore, you had one of my mediocre, temperate lashes of what some might call 'anger.' But I just call it annoyance spewing out, because when I get annoyed, I'll tell people, and I did that exact same thing with you.
No need to get off into tangent city guys....
Freddie was not the topic, it was John.
Cheers

Erm...
1- Freddie got AIDS about 1985-7, in which time, AIDS was relatively unknown about, so its a bit unfair to blame freddie, at the times gays probably assumed, since they can't get each other pregnant, whats the point of contraception? (If I'm wrong about this, sorry)
2- I'm going down this route, because i think, from Freddies later work (such as the show must go on) he was aware that his time was nigh, and indicating that he didn't want his death to mean that the almost 20 years of camp glam rock should stop, and that John decided to stop... but maybe i'm over-analysing things...
well...i must say that i definetly do NOT feel betrayed by John! i am a little sad and disappointed that he decided not to continue but i respect his decision! plus who would i be to say that i feel betrayed...i dont even bloody know him! if you do just so happen to know him, please tell me how to contact him, but i seriously doubt that you do so just try to use a better word to describe how you feel. and if you cant...then, well, i feel bad for you because you are too thick to respect his decision.
I've made all these points about 875,000,000,000,000,000,000 times before, but I'll patiently make them again.
1) Every artist has a certain number of performances in him. John knew what his was, and he ended it when it was up.
2) Queen officially disbanded in 1995. Therefore, Queen is technically no more (and while I'm not going to tell them what they can and can't do with their lives, I do wish Brian and Roger would remember this). There was nothing left for John to abandon.
3) I'd probably quit something too, if one of the major things I could associate with it was the tragic death of a friend.
4) John owes us nothing.
