lol, still the idiots here, they don't call the band Queen, they are/were Queen + Paul Rodgers, you all got that ? and if they want to name it Queen, they can do it, you all don't like it... fuck off then, it's their band, they can name it whatever they want.
They are NOT Queen or Queen+
They are Brian&Roger+
Its NOT their band, Freddie came up with Queen and Freddie was a huge part of it. If they want to continute they need to go under their own band names like "Build Your Boat","Smile","The Cross"
Freddie&John arent here so neither is Queen
They are Brian&Roger+
Its NOT their band, Freddie came up with Queen and Freddie was a huge part of it. If they want to continute they need to go under their own band names like "Build Your Boat","Smile","The Cross"

I guess everything really is derivative these days. I really thought I had an original concept.

I know this may come as a shocker to you, but Freddie's been dead, oh, about 15 years. Consequently, I daresay he doesn't really have much to say on the matter.
Here's how it plays out. You are not in the band. Therefore, you have exactly sweet fuck all to say about it.
Let's say they do continue to use the name Queen, as is their right. Let's assume the truly hardcore fans are so peeved that they don't buy a new record, were one to be coming out. Who knows? Now, once all those people who're truly pissed off that the name Queen is still being used have sodded off, I figure that'll cut into record sales by, oh, about 1000 units.
Yeah, that's a real concern. This is, after all called the music business - and it is a business.

Queen might be(doubt it), but I gather that Brian and Roger are currently charged with ambition
This idiot is getting way too much attention.
the show must go on.......lol
So going by this logic I suppose...
KISS isn't KISS because two original members aren't there (another band that "retired")
Def Leppard isn't Def Leppard because 2 original members aren't there.
AC/DC hasn't been AC/DC since 1979 when Bon Scott (a "huge part of it") died.
...and the list goes on. Just because people retire/or die doesn't mean that the band dies. Rock stars are people, and thus prone to death. It happens. Deaths happen and often musicians decide to move on. Brian and Roger did, John didn't. I think Queen + Paul Rodgers is a very appropriate title. Its obvious you didn't make it to a show last spring...go to a Queen+Paul Rodgers concert and tell me (or anyone of the thousends there) that it isn't Queen (+Paul Rodgers). You're certainly entilted to your opinion and while we all disagree with you, ultimately it doesn't matter what you or any of us think. It is up to Brian, Roger, and whoever else to call themseleves whatever the hell they want and they don't need anybody's permission to do so.

Damage? So you're saying history is reversing, and Queen are no longer remembered for the countless things they accomplished?
I once posted this list of bands who have lost one or two members, and I challenged these people like "thenightcomedown" to honestly say that all of these bands shouldn't have continued under the same name, most of whom achieved much success with the change in membership. To this day, I still haven't received a single decent reply.
AC/DC without Bon Scott
Bad Company without Paul Rodgers
Chicago without Kath/Cetera
Deep Purple without Blackmore/Lord
INXS without Hutchence
Pink Floyd without Barrett/Waters
Rolling Stones without Jones/Wyman
Supertramp without Hodgson
The Who without Moon/Entwistle
Van Halen without David Lee Roth
Let's make this interesting.

they cant and they wont SirGH---
whether they will admit it or not...they are Freddie fanatics (which aint such a bad thing within reason mind you)
he is the band
B R and J are nothing but support musicians without him
they live and breath Freddie
Have Freddie sheets, pictures of him everywhere, shrines to him in every corner of their rooms
they worship and pray to him at the church of the fanatical fan..
he is their hero
their imaginary boyfriend
their secret lover
secretly they want to be Freddie.....
they realy wish they had gone on tour with those backup players...... you know that had absolutely nothing to do with making Queen successful.....
because of this they just cant fathom anythng else
they cant let go
they cant visualize other possiblities
shame too.... cause it rocked as you know...
oh well
life goes on
and we patiently wait for their reply to your brilliant challenge----
Knute and I are still waiting to find out when Howard Leese became a second class musician too....
it could be a long wait my friend....
silence can be deafining

Thanks for saying this!!! It is exactly who these people are....there are a lot of them out there and a few did make it to the shows and only cheered during BoRhap...I actually saw some of them plug their ears or sit through the rest of the show. When the tape stop playing they stopped cheering----did not even acknoweldge the beautiful interpretation PR does at the end with such passion and power. As everyone knows here I went to several shows---I saw this at everyshow. A shame that they are so closed minded...it's their loss.
oh- and Howard Leese in NOT a second rate musician.
CQ

Mr. Iron Eagle
Funny how someone with such large blinders on can not think clearly.
You seem to forget that Brian, Rodger, and John, which you call the suport cast for Freddie, created the very music which is Queen. No Queen without the music, and I guess you have forgotten that some of the biggest hits came from JOHN DEACON, not Freddie. Maybe you are not the fan you say you are, and truely do not know who created what.
Now it is time to pull your head out of the butt that is blinding you. Freddie himself said that Queen is the sum of all it's parts, and that the biggest mistake Queen ever made was not crediting all of the songs to the band.
Lastly, Freddie would have loved Paul Rodgers.
If not for his voice, at least for his cute little ass.
Cheerio
