New Queen album is a MORTAL SIN

When all that is left is a pic and a few words on a grave, then we really are lost in the past forever.

Music shares the same destiny: a song dies when there's no longer anyone singing and playing it and making others sing it with passion and meaning and a knowledge of where it came from.

I feel that, oddily enough, using the Queen name is helping keep the memory alive, not just the record sales.[/QUOTE]

Great posts, both of you! Nothing to add!

I've always wanted to hear what Billy Joel would sound like doing some Freddie songs.

I bet him and Queen would go great together.

What if the members of Queen were playable characters in "Mortal Combat" ? Could Freddie impale people with his microphone stand ? Would Roger be able to hurl his drum-kit ?

... O, the mysteries of life...

I meant in Mortal Kombat (which I now realise I think is spelt with a "K"... eh... video games)! : P

(The real-life story is why I brought it up...)

Perhaps one of them (I forget which) could use hair-spray as a weapon...

I wonder if anyone from Queen has appeared in some home-brew celebrity fighting game... I saw Madonna in one once...

Like INXS?

"Like INXS?"

Yeah but who takes the new lineup seriously?

How can this be damaging? to the Queen name, it's new product which I'd rather have, with Brian & Roger & Paul perhaps sharing lead vocal duties (like the early albums with Freddie)personally I want something new fresh, they're all too talented to sit around, since Freddie's death Brian & Roger have done two solo albums ( i dont include Furia its a soundtrack)in over 16 years (thats worse than Def Leppard standards lol)

How many Queen compilations do we need? Queen Rocks, Hits 3 (which was a total joke as it included solo material)& then Hits 1,2& 3 for me that stuff was far more damaging to the Queen legacy, all the horrendeous single remixes & that total shite that was Queen & Five .

How can brand new recordings done with an established singer like Paul Rodgers & a new tour be worse than the above mentioned. Yes Freddie had big shoes, but Paul has equally his own big shoes & dosent need to do this unless he wanted to

Thankfully with the DVD releases some of the damage has been repaired

This poodle agrees.

Leave the name Queen alone.

Paul Rodgers has always been a nobody compared to our Freddie.

You lot make me sick

No respect for the dead.

Freddie Haters!!!

Oh my god, I can't believe you're actually back. Didn't you learn that we don't want your unnecessary bullshit?

Some groups managed to replace their members very succesfully (AC/DC, Genesis after Peter Gabriel), but others no (INXS, Genesis after P. Collins, 21th centuy Doors). It seems that project "Queen Paul Rogers" is to be more INXS type than AC/DC, if you know what I mean. I'm happy for May and Taylor for their new activities with Paul, but this wouldnt match that greatness Queen were with Freddie, even when he was dead and they were just using old recordings of his voice (Made in Heaven). What can you say majestic and good about Queen Paul Rogers concerts, when the best and most touching song from their setlist was...Bohemian Rhapsody, sung by Fredie Mercury himself from a huge screen???

Kind of true...I mean think of it this way..if there was no Freddie, there would be no Bohemian Rhapsody, one of the greatest songs ever written. Queen wouldn't have been as famous as they were if Freddie wasn't there. So when people say that Freddie is Queen...thats waht they mean. The band members said once, that they wouldn't know whta to do if they hadn't had Freddie there. Replacing a dun , bass, and guitar player is a little easier than replacing a voice because nobody had Freddie's voice and it's impossiblt to even compare to him. Even though replacing Roger, John, and Brian would be realllly tough because they all have so much talent that no one else has.
