So this is what it's really gonna be called? Hm...
Feed the Phoenix :)
very interesting....
"I'm a greedy bitch" - Freddie Mercury REST IN PEACE FREDDIE MERCURY!!
The artwork is actually quite nice!

from a 'royalties' point of view it is certainly interesting
okay - so from a performance point of view the split is even amongst those on stage
but from a song-writing royalies angle, my 'Brian May is Removing Traces of FM' theory stands up

song-writing royalties for this 2 cd pack

FM - 5 songs

Martin, thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't even noticing. I just went back to check the track listing. Yep. Mr. May hears the mightiest and loudest sound of Ca-Ching!

Brian's gonna make the Forbes list with Oprah if he keeps this up. Might be good for his bank account, but it's lousy from a creative point of view...regarding Freddie especially.

Martin, I copied my post from the tour thread about this album's title. Think you might enjoy this!

They could have called it ''Breakfast Of Champions'' but I guess having to get the legal rights and pay royalties to Wheaties was out of the question!



Actually, I have an idea! Lightbulb! Brian LOVES making money right!

When they release the CD and DVD, he should do what Star Wars did, have the Wheaties company PAY HIM roylaties to put his face on the cereal box to cross promote ''Return Of The Champions''.

Plaster his mug on everything from pop tarts to Slurpees like Star Wars did, and everytime a box is sold with his face on the box, he hears the mighty sound of Ca-CHING!

No "Under Pressure"?!

Bastards!!
'Let There Be Gene', eh?

And that's not the finalized artwork. It says "TBC" beneath it - "to be confirmed".
'Let There Be Gene' isn't a Paul Rodgers track, Brenski
...unless you meant Lester Burnham, which is my name, I don't see why you brought up Brenski.
"Let There Be Gene"....Simmons???....LOL

I was quietly surprised by the list of songs which have been performed on Queen's part of Freddie's Tribute: Tie Your Mother Down, I Want It All, Las Palabras De Amor, Hammer To Fall...
As much as we've all been harping on the band for their love of filthy lucre, I think the song list for this tour relflects the fact that Brian, who wrote most of Queen's heavier numbers, is from the same rock school as Paul Rodgers. Lots of A, D and E chords. Freddie wrote lots of songs that were Eb and Ab things that are hard to sing and harder to play on guitar. And his best rock songs were found on the earlier albums, which they seem to have forsaken to paly the hits instead.
You know, good times are now.
