You have to worship the mighty John and cast aside those false idols, Freddie and Brian. Only then you can call yourself a real Queen fan!
We all know John IS Queen, and anybody who doesn't recognise it will face the eternal torture of Queen+Britney+Beyonce+Pink! Sufferrr!!!
NO! BLASPHEMY!
Jim Beach=QUEEN
You're nota real fan!!!
Forget Freddie Paul Rodgers is Queen. No Paul no Queen.
very well thought out and written tiffmoab and arlene
But it figures you couldn't bother to read the rebuttals from rockyracoon and gem27, which contained equally valid points.
Whoooops!!! In the last paragraph above, I meant to say that decisions are NOT made solely on the basis of money.
Use the edit tool - the left of the three buttons above your post. Fantastic post, really putting things into perspective!
I do respect your point of view and I also thank God for Brian and Roger are trying to overcome Freddie's death.Fortunaletly they are still alive,fortunately they found their old friend Paul and they are doing music with him.They are sharing their art with us, so thank you Brian, Roger and Paul.
Freddie you were unique and you will always be in our hearts.
Peace and whole lotta love.

Yeah thanks a lot Brian & Roger for sharing this drivel with REAL Queen fans. Much appriciated NOT!
I can't be bothered to answer this question, except to say -
if you've read my previous posts regarding the tour, you'll know that I did not and do not support it and "Queen +..." as a whole.
Quick memo to BPP - the tour has happened and it looks like there will be more to follow. Deal with it, I have.

I was going to get a ticket for Cardiff before they SOLD OUT
Forget Freddie Paul Rodgers is Queen. No Paul no Queen.
Looks like BPP has been playing with us
Your Kurt Cobain thought has no relevance. Cobain wrote all of the Nirvana material that I know of(which means the good albums of Nevermind and In Utero) which would make him far more to Nirvana was than Freddie was to Queen.
It would be more of a point also to point out that they use the name Queen if they were recording new music. The Queen in Queen + PR doesn't just stand for the members, it stands for the show. They are saying, here's what's left of Queen doing a Queen concert, with help from this guy. They are trying to cash in on the Queen name, not to confuse, but because that's what this tour is about. This tour is about two guys returning 19 years later to touring along the band they made with two others. Queen is not just a band, it's a legacy of music so by using the name, they are representing a wealth of material which they helped make.
Come on people. It's not like there is anyone out there who is excited about this show and expecting the real thing. Everyone knows Freddie is dead, so it shouldn't be such a big damn deal.

Great post, AmeriQueen.
Well put AmeriQueen.
It is only the blinkered that think we are expecting the same shows from the past.

i agree there is no QUEEN without FREDDIE MERCURY
This is sooo...2005....
There are currently 79 topics (at least) on this subject. Please refrain from posting more you cotton brained idiots.
yeah without Freddie there is nothing
I mention Queen often, and so many people say the same thing - "Didn't he die?"
So, in answer to the original question, to some, there is no Queen without Freddie.
However, to true fans - and by that I simply mean people who know more about the band than that their frontman died of AIDS - Queen is about the music and the way it made/makes them feel.
I think this is a personal issue. I could never go to see Queen + Paul Rodgers. It would be too sad for me. But there are plenty of people who have let go of that and are willing and eager to hear Queen's music live, on stage, with part of the original band playing their original roles.
