It is nice to see these guys out touring again even if it is without Freddie.

Anyone who answers "no" has no concept of the way ownership laws work. If someone owns a name, then they have the right to use it for anything they please. It's really quite a simple concept. In fact, a fourth-grader could have thought it up.
Anyone who answers "no" has no respect for Brian and Roger as musicians and as people. Should their careers stop as a band because Freddie died? Obviously the name Queen is the marketable name, but it doesn't mean they're doing it for the money. They formed the band. They own the name. They can do what they want with it. Whether or not people agree is a separate issue.
Therefore, if the above is understood, anyone who answers "no" has their personal beliefs getting in the way. The question was not "do you agree with Brian and Roger using the name Queen?".
Queen+Rodgers haters are not "Queen fans"; they are "Freddie fans". If they were Queen fans, they would support the remaining members of the band at a time like this, with positive memories of Freddie. Any disrespect for Freddie is in the mind of the person who sees any disrespect.
This tour is giving a new generation of Queen fans the chance to enjoy the band and the feeling of being at a Queen concert, perhaps for the last time. It is minus a key member of the band, but the spirit of Freddie is there.
If you don't agree, then state your opinion once if you need to, and then don't come to the concerts and don't buy any of the subsequent cds or DVDs. I can't see why this is such a difficult thing for some people to understand.

No that's not right - you can enjoy their work without agreeing with their chosen name. It's like you are saying you are either with us or against us.
YES times 100
Sure. Freddie's dead and I haven't heard of John objecting. Roger and Brian put in the years of work helping to make Queen what it was/is. They have every right as long as there aren't objections from Freddie's estate or John.
When it comes to the current 'STYX' however, that's a different story. They have no right to be pretending to be STYX without Dennis DeYoung. It's very sad. If Dennis had agreed to leave or died, fine.. but I don't believe that was the case.
Dennis DeYoung was fired from Styx whilst he was ill with chronic fatigue syndrome. Tommy Shaw wanted to ruin Styx and he did. DDY was Styx!
for all of you people who have answered yes:
1. freddie came up with the name, not brian or roger
2. brian and roger are certainly not queen...have you ever noticed how the dvds say: queen are brian may, freddie mercury, john deacon, and roger taylor...not paul rodgers, roger taylor, and brian may
so, you guys are certainly entitled to your opinion, but this isnt an opinion, who queen was is a fact, and the fact is that they arent queen without freddie mercury

simple answer Yes
Legally, of course they are.
... oh, did you mean morally / sentimentally / etc ...?
That's a matter of opinion. I think they are. Someone else thinks they aren't. Neither can change the fact that B&R seem to think they are.
So what use in starting a new thread about this every week?

It really depends on the person. I, at first, said No and infact i was pretty pissed about it. I mean, they are having this guy step in and do what only Freddie Mercury could... im still pissed about that (Paul Rodgers wasnt the best choice if you ask me) But i feel a little better about Brian and Roger doing it. They are, as has been said, part of Queen. They were playing together before Freddie came along. Those are their songs to (to some extent) and its great to see them performing again. But if it were my choice, i wouldnt have the tour happen. Freddie did it best the first time and that is that.
No
