i know they are bored and want to play music and not just sit home, the reason they did this paul rodgers thing. But they cant possibly write as good material or be as big as Queen were without freddie and its also hurting the legacy a little. What they should have done is to tour and just have freddie on the screen for a whole concert as they are doing with bohemian rhapsody now. That way they are still Queen and it would have probably sold out stadiums. People who never saw freddie could at least see the next best thing being the band plus freddie on the screen. |

not to mention, wouldnt that basically just be like watching a Dvd at home? Cause we all know there are only like 5 concerts that queen have recorded that are worth watching, thats why they keep re-releasing them. but hey you could go to sydney and watch freddie perform in Wembley. Yay |

People already know how good they were and now the younger people who never saw Queen live could see the next best thing. Of course it would be awesome if john was in it too. Freddies impact on people is SO BIG that it would be enough just to see him on the screen and hear his voice loud in a stadium. And its not like watching a dvd, its much more. Here you could see the surviving members and their reaction to playing with freddie on the screen. It would be a very emotional experience for the band and the fans. |

If Brian and Roger had done that, they might as well have called it the "we are creatively bankrupt, have nothing new to offer, and desperately want to ride the coattails of a dead man all the way to the bank" tour. If people want to watch old film of Freddie Mercury, they can do that quite easily at home.

This is too 2004 to be talking about in (close to) 2008 IMHO, but.... Saw Queen in 1980...loved it. Saw Queen+PR in 2005 and 2006...loved it. The screen concept is a nice idea, but too ridiculous to really do, especially for a stadium. Queen would get hammered by the press...they got so much slack just for using the Bo Rhap recorded opera segment when Freddie was alive. Queen don't like playing with tapes anyway. They'd have to play all their instruments at the perfect speed for Freddie's vocals to match up and couldn't improvise. |

Treasure Moment wrote: Why isnt this new queen have the same success as the original? yeah thats right.. no freddieWhat do you mean?? They've had a very succesful world tour and a live CD/DVD release that did quite well on the charts. QPR has only been around for three years or so. In 3 years the original Queen had achieved... well nothing. Of course the circumstances were different, but I think we should wait 'til they release the studio album. If that album rocks, we shouldn't complain. If it sucks, I'll be there to throw the first rock. Talking about the future album: I'm not expecting it to be a HUGE commercial success, but I'm happy if it turns out to be solid piece of work, musically. (You do realize that success and quality don't go hand in hand these days?? I'm sure you do, 'cos you got that GREAT band of your own;). |

Treasure Moment is right. They should have Freddie on screen during the whole show. In fact, all the band should directly face the screen during the whole show. There's no need to acknowledge the fans, Freddie's taking care of that. Eliminate the need for a click track, and just leave the amps off. Play with tracks. That way every note can be corrected and every pitch fixed. Seeing a band live shouldn't give a unique experience, it should be as close to the album as possible. There's no need for long guitar solos or that crazy Timpani thing that Roger insists on doing. And at the end of the show, John Deacon comes walking out and picks up a check from each member of the band, turns to wink at the Freddie Screen, and puts on Freddie crown and robe during God Save The Queen. An opening act could be replaced with all the Milli Vanilli videos on the Freddie Screen. After all, it was Fabrice that made Milli Vanilli what they were. Rob Pilatus should quit the music business altogether, like Brian and Roger should. Hey, maybe Rob could sing Queen songs with Brian and Roger. Throw a little "Blame It On The Rain" between Bohemian and Rock You. |

This to me shows a lack of respect to freddie and john to keep going like this. I mean they are already the greatest band of all time by far and can never be beaten, why ruin the legacy with this? everyone knows its not even half of what the real Queen was. Thats why i thought its better to have freddie on screen and promote Queen(coz it seems like thats what they want to do, keep the name alive) than have a singer that doesnt fit in and sings in odd time. whatever, they will do whatever they want, that was just my 2 cents on it. |

Yes, Freddie was a major influence on the band due to his songwriting, singing and performing talent. Obviously the band would not have been the same and probably not as big without him. But equally Brian's guitar playing was pivitol also and without that, I think the band would have been very different and wouldn't have stood out as much. All four members contributed big hits to the band, so really, the quartet is, at the end of the day what made the band special. But, Q+PR is NEW. It is something new and different, as they take great efforts to point out. I don't let my self get hung up on the use of the Queen name. I am intelligent enough to realise that it's only half of the real "Queen" and that they are using the name because it opens doors which would otherwise be closed to them (like playing Hyde Park for example). If you can't get over that, then that's your problem, not mine or BM's or RT's. Finally, playing a whole concert with a load of Freddie VT is not my idea of a good concert. Live music is best, even if it means that we can't have Freddie's voice live. I have DVDs and CDs for that. And Fred's voice wasn't perfect in concert either - sometimes his movements got in the way, but that's ok, 'cause the showmanship is worth a few duff notes here or there. Paul Rodgers is a good singer who interprets the vocals in a different way, and that's the way it has to be, 'cause as you (treasure moment) said no-one can do a Freddie, and I think the tribute proved that. But that's where you have to accept that Q+PR is DIFFERENT and is not Queen. That is the hurdle that many people can't get over, and they are very short sighted / closed minded if they can't (IMO) That's my take on this, anyway. |

Mercury 90 wrote:well musically they could go on since freddie is the best musician and singer of all time and thats a fact, but roger is a member who has been in it from the beginning so it wouldnt feel good to continue without him with the Queen name though they could because he is only the drummer, Freddie was the voice and spirit of the band.Treasure Moment wrote: [/QUOTENAME yeah but Queen isnt a regular band, they are legends and they were together for 20 years.

Of course i respect roger deeply and he would be terribly missed but im just saying how it is. All four of them are incredibly talented, its just that Freddie is on an inhuman level when it comes to musical talent and singing and he is the reason why Queen got so big. Without Freddie the band would never get this big. another choice is that Freddie and the rest could play under another name if they liked and have equal success because freddie is inhumanly talented musician and singer. His voice and songwriting is like no other, no one can come close to him, its impossible. |

"The new release is a single song that has been available for about two weeks. Slight chronological difference = your data are silly." Yawn!! Nobody in the real world cares about Queen without Freddie Mercury, or how "valid" a handful of die hard fans who probably never saw the real Queen think it is. Argue all you want about 100,000 free downloads, it means nothing. It also doesn't help that the song is actually a bit lame and further tarnishes the band's legacy. Thanks Brian and Roger, thanks very much. Anyone consider that 100,000 people heard it for free and thought, no thanks, that's not Queen. |

"Just for my interest, if instead of freddie, roger would have died, would you than also say, the can't go on?" Mercury 90 Yeah, calls himself Mercury 90! Freddie could've wrapped Queen up if that happened, OUT OF RESPECT and maybe concentrated on a solo career. One that actually sold records, unlike Roger's. "Without Freddie, there isn't a band called Queen" That quote sold a lot of "Made In Heaven"s didn't it Brian |

I mean, who are they kidding? its not Queen and whats the point of degrading themselves like this? they are already the best band on the planet with an incredible legacy. If they dont want to sit at home and want to play music together then do it, just dont use the Queen name, start a new project. I have alot of respect for both Roger and Brian but really they should just start another project and drop the Queen name. John knew that it was finished after freddie died and did the right thing to quit. Thats showing respect for their past and freddie. They have already accomplished everything that is possible with Queen. |

Freddie would have wanted them to join Paul Rodgers and keep them going. By the way, Queen isn't their band name anymore. They go by the name Queen+Paul Rodgers |

Nevermind, the fact remains that without Freddie, the public consider them finished. |

I can't see them selling any less if they called themselves May, Taylor & Rodgers quite frankly. It's clinging in anyway to the name Queen that's leaving a bad taste |

They have already accomplished everything that is possible with Queen.That explains why he was still a member until 1997 (6 years after Freddie died), and then, giving the other two permission to carry on using the name, when he could easily go for a lawsuit. |
