And as he said in 1977 (and several other times the other three), if one of the four, anyone of the four, left the band, that'd be the end of Queen. Therefore, if Fred's gone, Queen're gone. The new band is something else, stealing the name of Queen.

If you're referring to me, I'm not saying Roger's a liar. Neither I'm saying he's not. I don't know if he's lying or not since I don't know him and I never knew Fred. My points are:
1. Roger (or anybody) can easily put words on a dead man's mouth
2. Saying Fred was a huge fan of Rodgers is certainly an effective promotional trick (both if it's true or not).
And I still stand by those points. I'm not "accusing" Roger of lying, just pointing out those two possibilities.
> wow some ppl just need to come to terms with reality
And reality is that neither you nor me can know for sure if Fred liked Paul or if Roger is lying or not.
> Queen+PR is reality now gotta deal wit it whether u like it or not
It's absurd: there's no need to "deal with it". We can simply be absent from the concerts or write our complains on queenzone. If you don't like them you can try ignoring those kinds of posts and move on.

They can tour with another name :)[/QUOTE]

I agree with Sebastian as well

In almost 30 years of interviews to Fred he never mentioned liking Mr Rodgers (which doesn't neccesarily mean he didn't). So who knows ... maybe if tomorrow they've got a row with him and he quits, they'll hire Fab Morvan and say that Freddie's favourite album was All Or Nothing, and that Charles Shaw was the actual singer during Innuendo sessions :)[/QUOTE]
I agree with you. I can't say whether Freddie actually liked PR, but I do know enough about marketing to know that it doesn't matter. By saying the PR is one of Freddie's faveorites, Brian and Roger are just trying to get Queenfans to accept him. The main reason some fans are hostile to QPR is because of Freddie, so they try to make it seem that Freddie is on the side of QPR by saying that he likes PR.
That's all it is really. and though I like QPR, I hate to see them resorting to such tactics to win people over[/QUOTE]
I completely disagree. What you're doing is underestimating Queen fans by saying they can't form their own opinions. They don't need Brian, Roger, or anyone to say Paul is great or otherwise. They can use their own ears and decide for themselves whether or not they like him.
Besides, I can't possibly imagine Brian and Roger sinking that low. They picked a singer to play some shows with, and they know the Queen name is big enough to sell itself. Devoted fans will come to the concerts, and again, decide for themselves if they like whoever they're collaborating with.

To be more accurate, Roger and the rest of the band knew Freddie for like 20 some years but that deosnt mean they knew his tastes, likes, dislikes, etc. As you recall, Once Queen made it big They never really saw each other outside the studio, it was strictly business. So to be frank, the rest of the band only knew his true persona in the early days and occationally during parties or whatever during the course of Queen's career.
