I have had a few reports of studio time being considered in late fall/winter of 2006. I think an in-depth discussion new album contents is in order...
Personally, I think the new album should be mostly new material. I'd say either 100% new or about 80% new. 100% is self-explanatory. 80% is slightly more complicated; I think for every 8 songs, one Queen song remake and one Paul remake should be done. If, say, 12 or 13 new songs are made (less likely), then an additional Queen remake should happen.
What do y'all think? Am I on too many prescription drugs?

well, it might work, but if they were to remake any songs, it would be ones written by only brian or roger. If Roger wanted to do a new version of Radio Ga Ga or I'm in love with my car, that would be cool with me, or Brian doing a new version of 39 or something....
but yeah if they release it they cant have the band billed as just Queen, it would be Queen + Paul Rodgers

No remakes.
They can cover songs that they like(like Red House) by other artists but leave the Queen and Paul Rodgers catalogs alone.

original songs, it would be cool
hope to hear many many songs with freddie on vocal. like brian has said many times there are many vocals with freddie to complete album so as many as they can get would be cool. now the new album could have maybe 13-14 songs with freddie on 3-4 on vocals, roger taylor on 2 and brian on 2 and paul on the other songs then.
i'm sorry for double post, but i just remembered that there are songs like Rock It with freddie on vocals and maybe i'm in love with my car with freddie on vocals and newer version of it. it would be quite cool for me :D
None of the older stuff should even be considered for a remake...that would just be wrong and hurtful. If they are to make a new album, by all means, and it probably will kick ass, but it needs to be all new stuff, or like the aforementioned-covers that they like (i.e. Red House and stuff like that). The remakes are on ROTC as far as I'm concerned. Let's see if Q+PR can take this in a new direction and kick some serious ass!!
taylor and may sure can cick rodgers ass if he doesn't rock on this album :D
I agree with 5150. No remakes , kick back with new fresh rocking stuff. By the way another queen and VH fan?
Let's wait and see...
I've read somewhere (i forgot where) that there's definately gonna be tracks with freddie on it. Brian May said they have numerous songs with freddie which weren't finished yet. From 1980 - 1991. So maybe they don't even need Paul Rodgers!

what's wrong with Made In Heaven?? you don't like the songs? i would do anything to hear freddie vocals on new album not that other singer ugly vocals, don't even care when were the songs recorded, if it's freddie on vocals then it's queen and it sounds like it, every song paul sings sounds like his solo stuff.

No remakes - They need to take a step forward, not look back.
No unfinished Feddie songs on this album, please. Q+PR is a new band (with old name:). Old demos with Freddie should be released but NOT on a Q+PR album.
So, new songs with the three of them sharing vocals (like in the old Queen albums, Bri & Rog could sing some lead vocals on some of their own songs). I'm sure this album will ROCK.

Agree- let's move forward--they have done their nods to the past-fresh inspiration--I would predict it would be bluesy rock which would be cool.
