"Bohemian Rhapsody has introduced a whole new generation to the music and power of Queen. However, what is it like for the band’s drummer, Roger Taylor, who has seen his life as a member of one of the most prolific bands projected onto the big screen? While she’s careful to speak for Roger, the musician’s wife, Sarina Taylor, spoke with Metro.co.uk from her pop-up shop on Carnaby Street, alongside business partner and Roger’s tattoo artist Manuela Gray, about the effect the movie has had. As amazing as the reception has been, Sarina knows what we have seen could be taken as an idealised look at the group’s rise to fame. ‘I’ve seen it a couple times,’ she smiled, from a nook in the pop up. ‘Any film you watch is going to be the director and writer’s interpretation.’ She then added diplomatically: ‘I think they’ve done a good job at creating a great film everyone can go see.’ On Ben Hardy’s turn as her husband in his heady days of being the drummer in the 70s and 80s, she added: ‘I’m close to Roger so it would be difficult for me to comment on it because you see them differently. I think I’ll probably just say, he did a great job. ‘I think they’re all very happy about it.’" Read more: link I bet Roger thinks it's shit. |

To be honest i honestly do not understand why this film had to be made apart from the bucket loads of money it is making and i bet this film was Brian May's idea. May is doing everything in his power to get his bank account full up before he retires soon. |

You would have thought this Bo Rhap film was made because of the love and respect Brian & Roger had towards Freddie but seems to me this is not the case here, they just keep on milking the Queen cash cow and Freddie is the victim to make them the money. That is why Queen+ goes on and on and on = Money Money Money ! I am surprised that May & Taylor have not been in the cemeteries looking for Freddie's ashes to sell on Ebay because that is how greedy those two are now. |

Yourself and Freddie Mercury, you have an obvious unpleasant dislike of both Brian and Roger and also anyone who very slightly has a different view to yours. What ever money "Queen" make from this film will go to all of them, including Freddie's estate. The real money makers will be 20th century fox and all the other production companies associated with the films production. A lot of money has to be put up before the cameras role and those people have yo be paid too. Of course this film seems to have been successful so everyone will get their cut, but don't sit there thinking that all the profit goes to Brian May. |

I admit i do not like some business decisions that May & Taylor make but that is my personal choice, and yes Freddie even wrecked Brian & Roger's ideas in the studio because they were ridiculous. Freddie had a great sense of what would work and what would not work. It has to be said Freddie's grand ideas of getting the band famous and not wanting to be another star but a legend was epic. King Mercury long may he reign. |
| JomaDuckSoup 02.12.2018 22:38 |
They don't need the money. And they're not after the money. If you say so, you're an idiot! Brian's very much controlling the legacy. What would everyone of us do? Don't be silly. They ARE keeping Queen alive. And of course, their riches is growing. It's pretty normal (and intelligent) what they're doing. And they're good at it :D |

As you are clearly NOT a creative person and only someone that seems bitter about others with more money than you I guess you simply can't understand that playing music is almost a spiritual thing, if it's in your soul why give up?? You demonstrate so little understanding of what your talking about it's astounding. There is clearly no joy in your life just bitterness about everyone else, sad |
| Star* 03.12.2018 13:47 |
Togg For the record you are so so wrong, I am only bitter because Brian has lapses of been very insincere towards the fans and i despise anyone who plots like May has done since Freddie died. First he is licking Adam Lamberts cunt saying he is the gift from god, then because this Bo Rhap film is out he has switched again saying something or other about Fred to sell the film. when other times he hardly praises Fred at all. May does things to benefit himself not others he is a business man a good fibber and a brilliant musician. Please excuse me if i come across bitter but i have every right when i detect that Queen fans are been had. |

The shere joy of playing in a band with others is something you will never experience or share or understand, it;s no wonder you are so bitter, you have no joy in your life.

I am surprised that May & Taylor have not been in the cemeteries looking for Freddie's ashes to sell on Ebay because that is how greedy those two are now.You basically like two people. Yourself and Freddie Mercury, [...] @MrAlwaysSoBloodyRight I think saying that they want more money is simplistic. I think May and Taylor like performing to big crowds. Much of the other stuff they do is aimed at keeping the Queen legacy going. The movie is a part of that. As fans we may like or dislike what they do. I think they've done amazingly stupid things (remember Five?) and I think the movie was flawed (but I also hate biopics as a rule). But, I think they've had success in keeping Queen in the public's eye. The movie has even helped those of us who don't really like it because it has helped unearth some great stuff. Of course it also be naive to think that money isn't a motivator but the need to hear the crowd roar and to see your stuff being discovered by new generations is, I think, much more important. I would never tell anyone who likes something which is mostly just entertainment to get a life (like Shatner said about Trekkies) but people who are so devoted to hating something should really get a fucking life. Spend more time on things you like. Just listen to the old stuff. Enjoy it and enjoy your life. |

Yeah, they played around the world to huge audiences. The ability to do this was sadly taken away from them in the mid 80's when it became impossible for Freddie to tour. After Freddie's death they felt they couldn't continue, for what ever reasons. In 2005 to 2009 the chance came along and obviously felt right. It came along again,neither even more success in 2012 so they grabbed the chance. It's what they do and who here has the right to tell them they are wrong. Quite simply they are doing what they love for people who love seeing them. The money the earn is worked for, Gerryhappyright hasn't bought tickets for their shows so had no foundation to build a complaint on, during the 70's and 80's he was happy to contribute to their income. |
| Star* 04.12.2018 18:02 |

Makka Needs to be said instead of accepting the drivel that May & Taylor get away with. Queen are corrupt with that irrelevant west musical nobody Adam Lambert, and if you have never seen Queen with Freddie & John then you have no right to say i am wrong. Queen were dynamite with Freddie on stage and now limp as a fart with Lambprick. |

Vocal Harmony Firstly please do not insult David Coverdale because he is a legend even when he began to sing he was miles and miles more talented than Adam Lambert, Secondly Queen are crap today but yes they do still sell tickets based on girls mainly buying tickets because they have a crush on pussy Lambert and take there boyfriends husband or family along, that does not mean today's Queen+ is better than the original 4 man line up of Queen it just means they sold tickets because many have a sick crush on Lambert, just like they did with Barry Manilow. Everyone to there own devices but i and others still think they should not be called Queen because your not getting Queen you are getting the drummer and lead guitarist from a band that use to be called Queen arguably. |

I didn't insult David Coverdale. You tried to say that Lambert, due to lack of experience, doesn't deserve to be touring in Queen+. I pionted out to you the simple fact that David Coverdale went from playing to 50 people a night, maybe 200 on a good night, in Cabernet venues and working men's clubs to fronting one of the biggest bands on the planet at the time, no recording experience and no experience of big rock gigs. If you can't understand that or you won't to argue the point, good luck! Who has ever said the current Queen lineup is better than the original, oh wait a minute. . ,you have in order to give yourself something to argue against. Queen have been around a long time, so yeah their audience has become a multi generation crowd, that's actually a good thing. Yes there are Adam Lambert fans as well, but there are also a lot of older fans, who have a broader more excepting view than you. You claimed rock n'roll suicide, I used ticket sale as proof of success. You haven't been to a gig, so you don't know who is in the audience, you only think you do because all that interests you is finding the negative reactions. If you had that view in the mid 70's there were plenty of people who thought they were crap |

| AlbaNo1 10.12.2018 14:44 |
I don’t think there is anything morally wrong with QAL. AL knows his place. However he is generally a horrible sounding singer to my ears on most Queen songs. But somehow it does work despite his vocals, and without him there would be no show and it’s definitely a good show , rather than live gig. But I can fully understand fans who do not endorse the enterprise because of the AL vocal style. Theres no point in going on about it all the time though. Nobody thinks Queen were somehow improved after late 1991. Other than walking away completely , every action relating to the Queen name the remaining members took was always going to be difficult to get full approval from long term fans. |

At least this time it's not a journalist, just some uneducated fools trying to convince fans on a fan sight that not only the band's current choice of singer is wrong but also the band are wrong in all they do. |
