Hi guys okay let's put things into perspective here so queen are going to release a new album and it's come from the record company in america right?, well i think personally and someone else said this i think it will be a queen+paul rodgers concert album from their forthcoming tour.
It makes sense in that respect because they are doing a tour there and with a release to concide the hopeful success of the tour will only help to sell product basically a la ROTC in the uk, business and profitwise it makes a lot of sense to do this.
As for using the queen name this old chestnut will never die and will always stir up remarks and controversy we all know that freddie and john are no longer with queen, freddie obviously passed away and JD happy not to be part of the unit anymore but brian and roger were in a band called queen and still are even though 2 members are not.
Again business sense and the right to go under the queen banner will continue it's only if paul rodgers brian may and roger taylor recorded BRAND NEW MATERIAL then people will be right to say WELL IT'S NOT QUEEN, because it most probably won't be it won't have freddie or john lyrics on them so they could go under a new name.
I don't think it will happen with paul rodgers they will do the tour and then say goodbye and thanks for the experience,but if it is a queen album then it must be tracks with freddie vocals on them which bri and rog are hoping to ressurect and make something decent.
That i will kill to get if that was the case i'm sure things will be more clearer when a official source or a definite release makes it set in stone.

Freddie Mercurys the reason we bought them albums as well as Brian,Roger and John.
Replacing Freddie with someone else is just silly.
Everybodys heard of Queen,they have heard of bohemian Rhapsody,under pressure,We Will Rock You and the other famous songs they wrote.
Brian May and Roger Taylor should leave their already famous reputation as it is by not making a new album.
If they want money they should keep making new items such as concert DVDs and keep touring.

What is it with people? No-one is replacing Freddie. Get over it for fucks sake.
I'm just happy that there is even just a rumour of a new album.

"thanks to brian and roger they ruined that cherished legacy forever."
You fucking people can't go 5 seconds without abusing words like 'legacy' that don't actually *mean* anything to soulless cowards like yourself.
If you love the old Queen so much *GO AND LISTEN TO IT* and shut the hell up. The original music cannot be 'ruined' by choices they make today. You might disagree with them, I might disagree with them, but the old music (great as it is) will always be there.
What a bloody waste of space this 'ruined legacy' crap is; I reckon every post that uses words like that should be filtered into a "Bullshit Forum".

And this moronic assertion that they're replacing Freddie.
You cannot replace a man like Freddie, especially after he dies so unnaturally. You can only *succeed* him, follow in his place, try to play music that you think he'd be proud of!
What numbeciles seem to forget is that Brian and Roger *knew* him. Maybe this Q+PR is a lot of toff and Freddie would have hated it, but in a guessing game over what Freddie would've liked, I think I'd rather listen to people that knew him, than a bunch of snotty fans who wank while listening to ADATR on loop.
Heck even John Deacon endorsed it. That means, all of surviving Queen members like it, Freddie's family like it... I can honestly say the opinions of a few fans don't matter a shit in this instance!
(backflip)
However... if you want my opinion, they probably shouldn't put this out as Queen unless it's got at least one Freddie track on it :D
I'm not saying this lightly, because I really don't care what name they use; if it's got guitar orchestration, big vocal harmonies (that Brian helped to think up in the first place) and kickarse Roger drumming then it's Queen-esque enough for me to enjoy anyway.
But - I say, don't release it without Freddie songs because I desperately want more :(
That is, if there's any left.

I have been a Queen fan since the early seventies.
As far as I am concerned Queen is not Queen without Freddie Mercury.

I agree, but if Brian, Roger and Paul are making a studio album then I'll buy it regardless of what name is on the cover.
Who cares about names? I know what I like and don't like about the Queen with Freddie, and what I like and don't like about Q+PR. If they think they'll sell more albums by putting "Queen" on the cover, then bless 'em. It won't diminish anything they did in the 70s, 80s and 90s in my perception.

I see A little debate started on whether the new album will be a studio recording with Paul Rogers.
I think it's safe to say that the new album will be a studio recording based on the fact that the
report indicates that it will be the first release in 10 years. If it was going to be live again, it would not be the first release in ten years due to the fact that Queen and PR already released a live album last year. I got the information directly out of Walt Disney's Annual report to shareholders. For those of you who may not know, Disney is the parent company of Hollywood Records (BVMG).

Still.... I'll believe it when Brian announces it on his site, and not before....
I can't believe these self-righteous anti anti Q + PR bozos. Just as well as those who have the right to praise BR or RT if they so much break wind, I believe those who are realistic or have any dignity at all equally have the right to express their lack of support for any endeavour the band involves themselves in.
It's called Yin Yang, get used to it.

Booring. The fact is, the "anti PR" people as you might call them don't have a leg to stand on, because they already have music to listen to. They can just go back to listening to Queen, and all this whinging about "Queen's legacy" isn't worth anything.
People who are "anti anti PR people" as you might call them, have at least a reason to argue because these self righteous faux-Queen-fan bozos are writing shit like RIP 1991.
:D

Queen needs to get a song or 2 or 12 on that Pirates of the Carribean soundtrack. Especially if it plays during the film it'll get them a ton of exposure and will be a great way to kick things off. (Whoever who wrote that isn't a really great reporter because it would be more newsworthy if they said "Queen releases their first all original after over 15 years" or something to that effect.
in retrospect its 3/5 queen which is a magority
