Queen + Paul Rodgers new album, The Cosmos Rocks, which is dedicated to Freddie Mercury has entered at No.5 in the Album Chart.
Queen Greatest Hits has also re-entered the chart at No. 31.
Yes, this is very good. As I've written in some other thread, the interest in Queen has been revived thanks to the new album and thanks to their using the name Queen.
I've been thinking about the fact that the guys use the name Queen and have come to the conclusion that it's ok. Look at all other bands where only 2 or 3 members have survived, there are plenty of them! Look at football teams, the players come and go but the names remain.
April, I think that you make a very good point. It amazes me how people can't seem to understand the concept of Queen + Paul Rodgers. Even if they changed their name (which could never have the instant recognition that it currently has)wouldn't it still technically be... Queen and Paul Rodgers?
