"Tough. Get your fuckin facts rights before posting or fuck off out of here"
You should listen to what you preach Bryan. Claiming Paul Rodgers "is not a legend, far from it" is proof positive your posts are nothing more than attempts at attention seeking, which I admit, are wholly effective. Paul, along with Robert Plant, is one of the most celebrated and influencial singers in the history of rock music. That's usually enough to qualify for legend status, without his millions of albums sold, his hit songs his written and his series of successful projects, along with a Grammy nomination.

NO NEED TO SHOUT!!!!!!!!!
Well i just did, thank you for reading it and not swearing at me.
alright, take smile for example, when freddie came they didnt change there name to smile + freddie mercury, so why do they make their name queen + paul rodgers instead of something original like queen?
as for me being too young to have seen freddie live, and might not have all the albums, i have nearly all the albums, only flash gordon, plus innuendo which ive already ordered from amazon, and i have seen/heard recordings of queen live (like wembley, live killers, at the bowl, etc.), so i have seen/heard enough of freddie to make an opinion about who is better
i dont really mind the tour, but its just not right when freddie, as sebastian said, clearly stated that queen would be dead when one of them were, yet they still continue to go under the name of queen
saying that supporting the tour helps keep queen alive is like saying that supporting the tour will bring freddie back to life, which you and i both know is impossible
i may not have been there to buy the albums or see them live, but as i previously mentioned, i have heard just about the same stuff that quite a few of the older fans have, as ive seen dvds of them live, and have basically all of their albums, so our age cant really mightily alter our opinions on queen

judging by that comment, it doesnt sound like you know an awful lot about whos smarter
im not trying to make myself look smarter, and i dont really care if people think im stupider than i am, youve never met me, and it sounds like you never want to, so stop calling me stupid when you dont know jack about how smart i am
and that last sentence sounded awful immature for a 35 year old, if thats how old you really are
"i dont really mind the tour, but its just not right when freddie, as sebastian said, clearly stated that queen would be dead when one of them were, yet they still continue to go under the name of queen"
BUT THEY AREN'T. THAT'S THE POINT. Only the people who talk as if Paul has replaced Freddie think it's a big Queen scam. You cannot use one quote from Freddie dating back to God knows when and say Brian and Roger are doing wrong. If you have all the albums but Innuendo, why did you buy "Made In Heaven"? Hardly anything new on there, most of it rehashed from solo projects or old b-sides, but nobody says that's not a Queen album.
If Queen is Roger, Freedie, Brian and John, does that make "Shove It" a Queen album?
The bottom line - marketing. To sell out a tour you need a brand name. Queen is the brand name. Respect has been shown by calling it Queen + PR, not just Queen. Only the tossers who haven't bothered doing their homework are calling Paul Freddie's replacement. He is simply the lead vocalalist. Or is Brian trying to replace Freddie when he sings "Love Of My Life"? The Queen name along with PR's name fills big venues, so it's used.
Your comment that you've not seen them live but have DVD's is absurd. As someone who has seen countless concerts with the express purpose of reviewing them, I can tell you DVD's are a poor live substitute. Watch Milton Keynes and Freddie's howler in "Fat Bottomed Girls" is not there - magic has been weaved. Watch how Roger's lyrical gaff is fixed on the upcoming show from Sheffield. DVD's can be altered and tweaked. Live on stage there is nowhere to hide, so until you see the real deal, refrain from telling me who's better.
Paul and Freddie are totally different entities, which is why theoretically Paul was a good choice. I'm sure the fact he was an established name before Queen had their first hit along with the fact he is a bona fide God in the rock world suggested to Brian and Roger that they could go out and play these songs without disrespect to Freddie. It seems the small contingent of critics are simply made up of
a) People who were more fans of Freddie then they were of Queen, which means they shouldn't really be posting on a forum that looks at the future of Queen as well as it's glorious past
b) Children who are too young to appreciate just how famous Paul Rodgers is, what he's achieved and what a magnificent bill this is
It's not Queen circa 1986 (the last time they did anything live). It's Queen and Paul Rodgers. New line up, with old songs, new songs, Free songs, Bad Company songs. Awesome experience, lots of respect to the past. Biggest cheer of the night went to Freddie, who Paul aptly saluted and left the stage for as we all sang along to "Bohemian Rhapsody". So you tell me how he plans to replace the irreplaceable with an action like that? He doesn't. He doesn't need to. His job is to sing, and he does it very well.

Radio I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh - you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
Radio
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour

Radio what's new?
Radio someone still loves you
We watch the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around because we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour

If it's just some quote dating back to God knows when, why did somebody bother to put it on the internet? Obviously, Freddie wanted Queen to stop once he was gone and that's why someone put it on the internet. As for buying Made In Heaven, it indeed was a Queen album, as everything on it was recorded before Freddie's death. And when did I complain that I didn't like material that isn't new? It's actually Queen in this case, not half of Queen + Paul Rodgers. And, of course Shove It isn't a Queen album, it's a Cross album.
For the last time, I'm not mad at them for starting a tour with Paul Rodgers, I'm mad that they went under the name of Queen instead of starting their own new band. Roger sure didn't call The Cross "Queen + Clayton Moss + Peter Noone + Josh MacRae" did he? So why call themselves Queen + Paul Rodgers, when Brian and Roger are in no way at all rightful owners of the Queen title.

"For the last time, I'm not mad at them for starting a tour with Paul Rodgers, I'm mad that they went under the name of Queen instead of starting their own new band. Roger sure didn't call The Cross "Queen + Clayton Moss + Peter Noone + Josh MacRae" did he?"
And for the last time, I am sick of explaining this. Queen were Freddie, Roger, Brian and John. Freddie died, but "Made In Heaven" came out and was accepted as a Queen album. "Rocks" came out, still no problem. You will notice, at this point, Queen was John, Brian and Roger. Nobody was upset about that. Why don't you all start bitching that when Five live came out it was credited as "Queen and George Michael"? Can't be Queen, Freddie was dead. Or did John's presence mean it was ok?
If you think John, Brian and Roger wouls still qualify as Queen, then hear this. When Brian and Roger wanted to continue work, John declined. He LEFT, therefore the remaining members of Queen are Roger and Brian. Both were essential to the Queen phenomenon, and they want Paul to come along for a tour. Great stuff.
To say they are falsely marketing themselves as Queen is hilarious. Who doesn't know Freddie's dead? Everybody knows Paul is handling the lion's share of the vocals and Queen are the band. Only John is missing from the band, and no disrespect to John, who I rate highly, live he was the least essential to the Queen sound. Roger's vocals live were a massive part of the harmoies, Brian's guitar was the Queen sound, all fronted by Freddies presence and voice. Everybody knows Freddie is not there, he died a long time ago. So who is going to be fooled by the use of the name Queen? Everybody who went to the shows that I talked to went for one of two reasons. They were:
a) They never saw Queen with Freddie and this was the "closest they would get". I lost count of the people I've heard say that. They certaingly accept Roger and Brian as what's left of Queen.
b) They wanted to hear the material live again and pay tribute to Freddie (which happens at EVERY show). again, they were real Queen fans who wanted life to move on. None of them came away saying it was a disgrace. In fact I heard nothing but positve feedback.
Brian and Roger are what remains of Queen. Accept it. If you can't, then it's a shame because you're missing a great experience and the point somewhat.
