Simple question..... I'm going to be boring and say "Hot Space". The whole Musical Direction of the Album (Synth/Drum Machines/Funky Bass) just sounds outdated and ruined the album. Whilst not being a fan of Synthesisers, I thought they were used well on "The Game", and wouldn't have minded a similiar type of album in 1982. However, what we got was something completely unexpected; I admire the brave decision to put the record out, but it just doesn't do it for me. |

I'm going to go with the musical. To be honest it's not such a bad idea, but all the singers I've seen are crap. The costumes give me constipation. Lame lame lame lame lame lame lame (sing those last 7 words instead of 'no no no no no no no' in Bo Rhap). |

Sonja 21.04.2005 16:46 |
Well, it's not just the "calling themselves Queen" thing. It's also the fact that they don't record new stuff but go on tour after 20 years. I just don't like band reunions although this isn't quite a reunion but I think there comes a time when you should give things a rest. They had their time, it was brilliant and it's gone. But they don't have to remind anyone of how great Queen were by doing a tour. The world knows that! I just think that they've become a little too big-headed with all the success of the musical and all the tv-ads and stuff and they need more ego-boosts! I think the musical is a good thing tho, better than a proper tour and I think they should leave it to that. 5ive and the tv ads were also a big disappointment! |
Fairy 21.04.2005 17:13 |
I don't like either the musical or the tour ideas...But I don't know if by doing these things Queen let me down. They felt like doing it, and they have the right to do it. Good if it makes them and many fans happy. I just don't really like it... Regarding the tour, of course if it had just been Brian and Roger, and possibly John, it would have been totally different for me. Fairy |

The 5ive debacle at the 2000 Brits that were aired on VH1 USA. Robbie Williams(the UK equal of Justin Tinkercake) Roger and Brian's Pepsi ads with the high priced sluts Britney(I mean Bitchney), Beyonce(Diana Ross' lost daughter) and Pink(a soul singer who thinks she is now a punk rocker). John Deacon left when the time was right. However, teaming with Paul Rodgers has saved Brian and Roger IMHO! |

i don't want to sound like a prude, but queen never let me down. even hot space was decent, but i agree it would have been nice if they kept the ball rolling, like say another 'game' type album. the first 8 were brilliant, so 'hot space' was probably a let down. as far as their newer stuff, i like the fact queen's name is back out there with the musical, and with paul, i know on new york radio stations people are looking forward to the tour, it's been a long time around here since queen been mentioned as much as they are now, so i'm happy their doing it. |

Like most people here, I think Queen collaborating with 5ive, britney, pink etc was a really bad idea.... how ever, if it wasn't for Queen and 5ive performing at the brits, my younger sister wouldn't be a massive fan of Queen now! Oh how i remember the moment like it was yesterday. (WARNING:if you get bored easily dont read on)! We were both sat in the living room watching 5ive, when all of a sudden brian and roger stormed on stage, she turned to me and said "look Lizzie its the dudes you like, rolling stones or whatever they're called!" LMAO @ Rolling Stones! I soon informed her about who they were, but she pretended not to be interested. The next day I came home from work to find her looking through my Queen albums! She hasn't looked back since! Thankfully her 5ive phase soon passed and she now loves Queen nearly as much as me! So if it wasn't for 5ive.... |

FairyIt was a short lived ad campaign for Pepsi with Britney, Beyonce and Pink singing WWRY. The actual version of the song was average, but the so called "premiere" of the ad was really badly managed (by Pepsi, or so it seemed on the night). They kept the audience for the musical in London waiting about 1 hour while the 3 "artists" paraded around Trafalgar Square. Then some idiot from Pepsi comes on the stage at the theatre and says "Watch our ad!" without any apology for keeping everyone waiting. Then they parade the girls and Brian and Roger (the latter two looking a bit sheepish at the whole event). Then the musical started. I had to leave at the interval or I wouldn't have been able to get home. The ad played a bit on TV, but then seemed to be dropped almost immediately and Pepsi went back to the David Beckham and other assorted football stars ad. All in all a vast disappointment - for BM and RT too I think. |
Oberon 22.04.2005 07:29 |
I might add that Brian had produced the ad version of the song. He seemed happy with his efforts, but afterwards kind of expressed his disappointment with Pepsi, which is perhaps why it was short lived. But hey, paying millions to three divas for bugger all return is probably peanuts to Pepsi. disclaimer: I don't know if they paid millions to the "divas", but nothing would surprise me |

On the other hand, you're also disappointed by Queen without Freddie. So that just doesn't make sense. Either this is a (bad) joke, either you don't understand the meaning of your words. Freddie was gay and he wasn't disgusting. Not at all. Having black nails or leather jackets is not disgusting in any way... And being gay is not a disgusting thing, by the way. -------------------------------------------------- I don't think Queen ever let me down. Yes, I know I'm sounding stepford and pathetic, but I've discovered their music in a very sad period of my life and they became somewhat of a bright light that helped me get through all my troubles. So I guess in a way I'll always be grateful to them. I don't think they could do anything to let me down, because they have helped me so much and I guess nothing could compare to that... The way I feel about them is very personal anyway. Of course there are songs that I don't like, but I don't feel like they let me down. Maybe I was a bit sad when Brian wrote two years ago in his soapbox something like he thought there was no point in being Queen anymore. That broke my heat for a few minutes, but then I realized all of a sudden that Queen wasn't supposed to die just b/c Brian believed it was over. As long as Queen music will live in people's hearts, Queen will still be around. And 2005 proved me right :)But then again, I wasn't let down by this comment. On the other hand, I've become a fan when all of their albums (except for On Fire) were already released and I listened to them in quite a short matter of time, almost as a whole. I began with A Night At The Opera, then I got GH3, News Of The World, Hot Space, Sheer Heart Attack and so on... 70s and 80s mixed altogether. I haven't been a fan when they did pure rock, so I didn't see them changing style. Instead I listened to all of it and loved it, loved all the variety of genres, ranging from hard-rock to glam and funk. But this again is a personal opinion, nobody should feel offended in any way. |
mike hunt 22.04.2005 09:52 |
brianmay, i agree 100 percent, i could understand if you were a kid when 'hot space' came out being disapointed, but listening to it now, it's actually a pretty good album. i also like 'the works' and so on. people could call us stefords but i just think we are fans. for those in these forums that call me a steford, the laugh is on you, in a way where all stefords, your on a queen forum aran't you. |
Brianmay1975 22.04.2005 10:12 |
You're right Mike, but some people seem to have forgotten this is a Queen forum :) Personally I enjoy every album they made, I love the variety of genres they melted in their music. I guess every huge rock band does something similar to Hot Space, sooner or later. The most recent example would be Aerosmith. They spent 30 years to play heavy rock and now they've released a blues album (Honkin' On Bobo). And let me tell you they sounded damn good... it's a great thing when a talented band is doing these kind of experiences. Just like Freddie said at Milton Keynes back in 1982: "We just wanna try a few sounds, that's all"... |

I think no one here can deny that Freddie is much missed, and he'll always be in our hearts, but as harsh as this might seem, I just want to say something: IT'S BEEN OVER 13 YEARS! GET OVER IT! If you were married to someone you deeply love, and you died at an early age, would you want them to spend the rest of their lives without a love companion? I know the analogy sounds weird, but this is how I see this whole situation. Sure there's no way that Queen will ever be the same it was without Freddie, and that's something that Brian, Roger, and John have mentioned countless number of times. They've also mentioned about as many times that Freddie is irreplaceable, even after Paul Rodgers was announced as their guest singer for this tour. The fact is that by now Queen's music and Freddie's legacy is something that should be celebrated rather than something to be mourned due to Freddie's loss. I seriously doubt that Freddie would have wanted people to still be grieving his death at this point. Trust me, the man must be more than happy to see so many young kids who were perhaps way too young to enjoy his music back when Queen was a four piece band, and now those same kids have chosen Queen as their favorite band despite the fact that media is constantly selling them only what's new. Freddie would have wanted more than anything that those kids had the chance to see him play with his band, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind at all having someone like Paul Rodgers filling his shoes for a little while to allow all these youngsters to have a bit of taste of what Queen once used to be live. Also, nobody is being forced to see Queen and Paul Rodgers. I respect the opinion of those who choose not to go, but don't come here to whine like a cranky old person who wants to spoil the fun for others. I feel sorry for you people who just got stuck in 1991 and haven't been able to get out of it ever since. |

Mr.Jingles 22.04.2005 13:10 |
Well, I kinda agree with you on that one though. Part of me feels like they were forced to use the name Queen because it SELLS. Many people have mentioned that they should have done what Robert Plant and Jimmy Page did by not using the name Led Zeppelin when touring together even though it would have brought them a whole bunch of more publicity to just simply use the name. My previous post was more aimed towards those who think that FREDDIE WAS QUEEN, and they just simply ignore all the good things that the other 3 members put into the band. |
Sharon G. 22.04.2005 13:16 |
Thank you Mr Jingles 79 Guess its just Brian and Roger using the name Queen that pisses me off. Not that they are touring or not that they are touring with PR. But as Queen - that is too much for me to take. |
john bodega 22.04.2005 13:22 |
I think when Brian was crapping on about Britney's talent he was a little boob crazy. Honestly, my elder brother thinks she's sex on legs but I don't see it. Personally Queen haven't ever done anything that has really pissed me off, because I don't care! Really, there are bigger fish to fry. Okay, I hated it when Elton John sang with them, but yeah - it was ages ago, forget about it. WWRY, good idea and people enjoy it - just because I don't like the execution of it, so what? It's only me, and I'm certainly not going to rain on other people's party. As for this tour I'm actually happy they're doing it. Paul Rodgers doesn't have anything on Freddie, but who does? I happen to think that this combination of Brian Roger and Paul is 'also' good - sure, not as good as the original, but good in it's own right. Hell yeah. And as I said, it doesn't matter, if it gets you down that much just go and put on a Queen album (or CD, or whatever they're called these days?). |
boy of destiny 22.04.2005 13:53 |
I'd have to say the Miracle album was a big disappointment. At the time Queen releases were very difficult to find in Canada (I had to order them through friends in the U.K. or import stores) and I was really looking forward it. The Miracle was billed as sort of a come back album, a return to their rock roots, but I found it too be a piece of over produced - Euro trash. I remember first listening to it and thinking, "That's it?! Where's Brian May?" I really wanted to like it, but even years later I still can't listen to the entire cd. |

The worst thing Queen ever did... Was to make music so fuckin' good that even homophobic idiots like Vivival can't help but liking it, and end up on boards like this one. DAMN YOU FREDDIE, ROGER, BRIAN, AND JOHN! |

Glad I'm not the only hetero female who thinks Freddie is the HOTTEST, SEXIEST man who ever cat danced across a stage...and into my heart! Yes I know he's Gay, No I don't give a flying F. Yes, He was ALSO hot because he was not only GORGEOUS, but because he emanated confidence, charm, charisma, a great sense of humor, playfulness, legendary talent, bravado, erotic oo la la, gallant gentlemanship, etc, etc, etc. :) |
Sharon G. 22.04.2005 17:07 |
Thank you Arlene. I agree. And yes, everyone, I have a Freddie obsession going on here. Too bad he is gone. Would love to see how he looks now days. As HOT as ever I think. |
Sharon G. 22.04.2005 17:37 |
I don't care if he was gay or bi or whatever. That was his business. FREDDIE WAS AND IS STILL THE HOTTEST LOOKING GUY I HAVE EVER LAID EYES ON. BOTH HIS PHYSICAL LOOKS AND HIS PERSONALITY MADE HIM SO VERY ADORABLE.! |

vivival wrote: First of all, Freddie Mercury was not hot. He looked awful and disgusting. You shouldn't like him for his looks. Why? Did you know he was GAY? A gross, discusting GAY man.YES we all know he was GAY! Do YOU know that the word you like so much to use it's spelled "disGusting" and not "disCusting"?! You don't seem to have a large vocabulary, as you keep repeating endlessly three blasted words: "gross, discusting gay"... And I won't accept anybody to tell me what to like and what to dislike. I also like the way he looked and I love his 70s looks, when he was wearing black nail polish, jewelry, makeup and low-necked clothes. So stop it. Freddie wasn't disgusting... By the way, you do have a problem. Honestly, the fact you're so thrilled with repeating that Freddie was a disgusting gay man should give you a reason to think over seriously. It's not allright to be so damn obsessed with somebody else's sexuality, especially not when you're only 13. Take it as an advice, as I'm studying psychology and preparing to be a shrink. Just ask yourself why his sex-life is so attractive to you and you'll find the way to make this obsession stop. I don't think you're disgusted. No, you're really fascinated about his persona, his looks, his sexuality. As you're only 13, it's too early to be obsessed with these kind of things. I wouldn't be surprised if you actually thought Freddie was hot. You're being ridiculous and silly. Don't you have better things to think about than sex? There are also school, books, theatres, concerts, museums, trips and friendships... there's plenty of things to do when you're 13, not stuck obsessed with Freddie's sex-life. I won't give you the pleasure to tell you to fuck off. So I'll just tell you take my kind advice and please proceed to enlarge your vocabulary. Maybe reading some books and leaving the "gross, discusting gays" alone helps. |

It's the first time i write there..well,i have to sum up the things i think about all i have read since now: -to that little spoiled thing:go back and play in your pink room,or keep listening to b.spears.that's the right music for you maybe.I prefer listening to a gay's voice rather than to a bitch's caterwaul.What's more,i'm Catholic and that site enraged me. -to Mr.Jingles79,i think you'll be my hero too -Queen never let me down.I respect their choices,even though i don't agree with some. -I was born in 1984,and to me Queen coming to Italy was the greatest gift,a dream coming true.I enjoyed the concert,even if i have to say i never took my eyes off of brian and rog.. anyway,pr was conscious he was inferior to freddie while performing..i appreciated that |
Slightly Dazed 22.04.2005 19:12 |
vivival, how about you fuck off back to play school, you silly little girl! I hope for your sake you'll grow of being so narrow minded and learn to accept people for who they are! Sharon G and Arlene, i totally agree with you both. Freddie is so very HOT! He's no Roger though :-P |
mrjordy 22.04.2005 20:14 |
GREASERKAT - Indeed, that was intended for Vivival. My sincere apologies for addressing that to you. I completely defend what you had to say in response to her blind biggotry. On the same note, Freddie Mercury's sexuality has nothing to do with his talent. Sure, it may have added a little flair (or a lot of flair, depending). At Freddie's memorial concert, George Michael said "[I don't believe anyone here is] homophobic." I think the same should hold true to Queenzone.com. If one has something against homosexuality, Queen certainly isn't the band for them. As far as you are concerned, VIVIVAL, whether your post was intended as a joke or you are, indeed, a biggoted 13 year old girl, Queenzone.com is not the place for you. Enough said. |

cintiamarcelad@hotmail.com 22.04.2005 23:14 |
Queen has never let me down!! They were a great band, with an excellent singer. And if we are talking about this new tour, I believe that Brian´s guitar and Roger´s drums must be heard again and with the name Queen,owing to the fact that is like a tribut to Freddie. |
L.Cooper 23.04.2005 00:45 |
To whom ever said Freddie was a 'disgusting gay' you dont know what you are talking about. Freddie was a musical genius. We should start a thread about when did posters let you down! But you are entitled to your opinion, just keep the Freddie bashing to yourself. And you couldnt be a true Queen fan with that opinion anyway. I'm just pissed off now. I hate gross, disGusting 13 year olds. |

Firstly, I really don't know how that vivial character(or whatever her name is) can keep you all busy by sending a stupid 2 line message with the same content over and over. Secondly, (I've seen this a lot so I can't help myself), being racist has nothing to do with hating gay people. Unless of course they're black :P |
King_of_Queens 23.04.2005 04:36 |
Well back to the topic, here is where I believe Queen had let me down: 1. The crapy MIH videos. 2. The order of songs released for the MIH album. 3. The choices of songs selected for the Greatest Hits III album. 4. If you really insisted on touring again under the name of Queen, why on earth choose Paul Rodgers!!! While you can have toured with Robbie Williams and gotten more publicity especially among the new generation... 5. Stop re-doing all those songs previously sung by Freddie, some people seriously believe that George Michael was the first to sing "Somebody to Love"!!! 6. I wish that Freddie had gotten married (maybe to Mary Austin) and setteled down and got kids... 7. The Body Language and Bicycle Race videos. |

Freddie realised his sexuality and that meant that he wouldn't have kids of get married. |
Melancholy Blues 23.04.2005 07:47 |
i have a few things to say... 1. what does it matter if he was gay, it was just who he was and i'd rather someone was true to themselves than someone who lived in a way that other people wanted. 2. why does being gay mean that we have the right to discuss someone's sexuality and character in a way that we would not with a straight person. 3. what is the point of being a 'fan' if we are just going to say nasty things about queen 4. why does everyone presume that they know what brian, roger and especially john and thinking. i'd rather they didnt tour, but if it makes them happy then go for it. If john wants to be alone then let him. 5. there are times when i feel dissappointed with one of their songs, but then i listen to one of their great songs and remember why i love them and why they are so important to me. They have not let me down, if anything, they have given me happiness, as lame as it sounds. |

Playing Rome after the death of the Pope was stunningly ignorant.Almost every nation and religion on Earth was represented at the funeral of Pope John Paul II.So much for all the nonsense about terrorism and fear when you had so many major leaders seated in alphabetical order.Did them a world of good too. Then along comes half of Queen.Or a karaoke Queen I suppose.Q + PR were just out of their depth.They were free to do what they wanted but they are all grown men now.That brings it's own responsibility.One of the very few World leaders not to show was Putin and that was for a very pointed political reason.Maybe it made Q + PR feel important or something.Let's face it,they (Queen)were finished when Freddie died anyway and it's just been a slow descent since.Freddie was the catalyst for that band.Would anyone really be on this forum on the strength of just 'Electric Fire' or 'Furia'? Musically they can do what they want and I wouldn't feel like I was let down or otherwise.I wouldn't take that personally.But come on guys,a little of acting like men and not corporate whores. And in Ireland in 1986 Brian saying to the crowd at Slane, "It's great to be back in Dublin!" was a bit of a slip.Slane is a small village about thirty miles from the Capital of Ireland.I mean I know all that travel and everything but didn't he notice all the fields from the helicopter? |

I feel let down by how ridiculously stupid some of you sound? What's the fuckig problem with the boys touring? Who are you trying to impress with your "QUEEN R.I.P. 1991" bollocks? Why can't they tour? If they weren't doing anything, you'd be complaining. Now they are actually doing something, you're complaining. What's the point in liking Queen if all you're going to do is complain? Have some respect for them rather than criticise them. What harm are they doing to Queen? We may apparently get some sort of new album out of this, as well as a live album and dvd, as well as a tribute album (which is a good idea whatever you think - I find it interesting to hear other peoples interpretations of songs). Queen in the public once more can only be good in my opinion, regardless of how much the press still slate them. We don't need 'fans' slating them also. And as for whoever said the Foo Fighters were a pop band? Have a laugh. For me, Dave Grohl is one of the most respected men in music, today and possibly for a very long time. To me, the Foo's are one of the few real rock bands left around. And of all the people Queen have joined over the last few years, this is the one that excited me the most. And, no offence, but Pink and Beyoncé - regardless of whether people dislike them - write their own music, Beyoncé produces her's and most of Destiny's Child's music herself, are two of the better female stars around today. It's dirty manufactured cheats like Britney and 5ive that worry me, but it's all for a bit of fun, and to test themselves. It's odd how so many falsely contrived opinions can make me so angry and annoyed. It's quite petty really. Either just grow up and appreciate your so called favourite band, or piss off and stop whinging. Go find a "I hate Queen" forum. |
Mr.Jingles 23.04.2005 11:57 |
Great post GreatKingRat!! I seriously don't know why so many people dare to call themselves "Queen Fans" with the constant bashing. |
Lollipop 23.04.2005 13:35 |
I can't believe I'm posting. But y'all make me laugh on a regular basis (i mean that in the nicest way possible!)and I wanted to join in. Here's my saturday afternoon two cents: These are more dissapointments than full out "let downs"... -Made in Heaven album. It was nice to hear Freddie's voice on new tracks, but lots of the songs didn't seem to gel. I don't know for sure -- maybe some of the songs were actually really worked on in depth by Freddie, but it lacks...the "dynamics" of other Queen songs and albums. I think you can tell that lots of it was three guys building songs around vocal tracks. -Queen 2005... Queen, for 20 years was only ever Freddie, John, Roger and Brian. Without ANY of them, it is not Queen. Freddie died, and Queen ended. I definately want the guys to still play music...please -play together, play Queen songs, make new music,let it be known that you were IN Queen, hell, be in a band with a new singer...just don't call yourselves Queen. Or Queen +. I don't really know why, but to hear "Queen" is on tour causes a physical pain in my chest. I am of the old school where Queen proper, is precious. I don't want Queen to go down that path like what Van Halen did when Gary Charone was in the band for 5 minutes. (Let's face it Van Halen was never really as good without DLR, but that's a different thread for a different web site.) Forgive the length, but I also wanted to comment on the Christianity that has been thrown around on this thread. I am a born again Christian, and Jesus is my absolute hero. I don't want to alienate anyone out there on Queenzone, and I know that this is not a religious forum, but some things have been written that make me concerned. Without going in depth, unasked, into my Faith and my politics...I am both a Christian and a Queen fan. Again, without defining to you what makes me born again, I have to tell you all that God absolutely DOES NOT "hate fags" as that hideous website/group says. God doesn't like sin - whether it is by a gay person or a straight person. None of us can know for certain whether Freddie (or your aunt, uncle, neighbor, etc) is in heaven or hell--salvation is between each of us and the Lord. But rest assured, God wouldn't exclude Freddie from Heaven just for being gay. I realize that I am opening myself up to ridicule, but i just don't like it when misguided folks calling themselves Christians say and do terrible things in the name of the Lord that are absolutely against true Christianity. Um. That's all. Sorry for going on and on and on. Cheers. |
Groucho Marx 23.04.2005 15:45 |
5ive was a big WTF? moment for me, but I really don't care so much that it would ruin what I think of the band. I still love Queen and always will. And maybe the fact that Brian & Roger didn't start a new band together. I don't mind them going by Queen, but with a new band, they could still have Paul Rodgers if they wanted and they would be free to write tons of new songs together. |

This could go on for a long time, sorry. This is my first post here. I first listened to Queen on the day Freddie died, I was only 8 at the time and I thought it was great. To me a lot of people here are just taking things too far. What is Queen, they are a group of entertainers who's job it is to entrtain. Just like actors or commedians. The main topics of 'they let me down' are 1) Hot Space - how many people bought the album and listened to it more than once? If I buy an album and dont like it, out it goes, why waste money on something you dont like! 2) The Musical. I have seen it once and met Brian there, what a great guy. OK so it is maybe jumping on the Queen name again, but one word - entertainment. How many hundred's of thousands of people have gone to see it? 3) Queen + PR. I was lucky to go and see them at Brixton and it has to be one of the best nights of my life. It was amazing and Paul Rodgers is damn good. OK he aint Freddie and as someone said on here before - get over it. I doubt that this site would exist if, when Freddie died Brian went off star gazing and Roger went to live in Cornwall and where never heard of again. Who are we to say that Brian and Roger cant enjoy themselves. It is upto them. Life is too short for living, you dont know when it may end. |

As a quick follow up to the previou post. I am also a huge Feeder fan and they lost their drummer back in 2002 due to suicide. They have had time off, come back and are one of the best British bands around at the moment. Just because someone dies does not mean that everyone they where involved with must not carry on doing what they love. To me it shows great courage to go back out on tour, in many ways it is a form of extended greaving. People here should remember to respect people like Queen, hell anyone in the public eye. We do not own them, they can do whatever they want. Anyway just my opinions, for what they count. Thanks for reading. |

Queen havent let me down, well i guess apart from that whole 5ive crap that went on. I am looking forward to the tour and dont begrudge them using the queen name, but saying that i would be let down if and this is just an if, they decided to record new material with Paul Rodgers and released it under the name Queen+... i know it's hypatectial but Brian did say in the interview in Incut magizane that it is a possibility...Bands get new vocilists all the time for instance Velvet Revolver-guys from guns'n'roses, slash, duff and matt sorum(my fav drummer)got together with ex Stone Temple Poilets Scott Weiland recorded new material and gave themselves a new name not guns'n'roses+ Scott weiland... Audioslave - the guys from Rage against the machine and ex soundgarden Chris cornell... i know the list goes on but Take for instance in 10 years time if Dave grohl and Kris Novoselic reformed Nirvana i think alot of people would be furious so i can see why alot of queen fans are a bit annoyed.... Lets come up with a new name for the current Queen and Paul rogers line up so they can start a brand new band...any suggestions xx |

Queen has never let me down ,but people like Vivival does,why do you hate Freddie because of his homo sexuality?,he was born that way,you could have been born a lesbian do you think you would hated gay people or lesbians if you were born that way yourself?,just think about it,i don't understand why you listen to Queen anyway find yourself another band to listen to;) since you think that Freddie was discusting,it really hurts to hear things like that,and when you say that Freddie is burning in hell,have you been down there yourself and seen it with your own eyes? lol.I am shure you will see things in another way when you get older. |

I'm not unhappy that they're touring..it was/is the entire manner in how this was put together and planned, done, without John, and with Paul Rodgers. There is my 2 cents worth for ya. |

Queen has never let me down, im 15 so I dont know too much about their background, but Ive read their books and have their DVD's and I think they are amazing. People who say they hate Freddie Mercury just because he was gay obvioulsy have never heard the music, or know anything about his life to admire him. Im really annoyed Ive never had the chance to see them in concert I feel it's a somewhat good idea, although of course it wont be like Freddie :o( |

Queen have never let me down. That may just be because im only 15 and i wasnt around for any of their real concerts or when they released their new albums ( paul rogers and QUEEN tour not a real Queen tour to me). oh and vivival who the hell are you to say that freddie was not gorgeous, remember dont judge a book by its cover and so what if he was gay that does not make him disgusting man. u race card playing bitch!!!! |

Ungrateful sods... It is a waste of mine, and others, breath to post pointlessly in posts like this, hence why you rarely find the bigger posters like JSS and YV posting, but you lot have gotta stop being so "look at me, I'm critisicing Queen respect me" about this all. Why is there need to be so bloody negative? Fair enough, you don't want to pay £55 to see half your favourite band that you may never have seen before becuase you were too young to be there the first time around perform some songs with a guy with an amazing voice, we can understand that. But to sit around going "Paul Rodgers is crap sack him, Brian and Roger have no respect whatsoever for Freddie or anyone" off the back of no first hand evidence in most cases is utter shite. Hats off to Bri, Rog, Paul and Danny, Jamie and Spike. They may not be no Freddie, but they can still put on a damn good show. Good luck to whatever they do in the next few months, cause I'll be buying it. |

YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK! On one hand he have the homophobic turds who do nothing but diss Freddie for being gay and ugly. I personally don't think he was very good looking, but so fuckin' what if he didn't look like Brad Pitt. As you can see many girls here considered Freddie to be a hottie. It's just a matter of opinion, and when it comes to looks there's different tastes. Now, if it bothers you the fact that Freddie was gay, then go listen some hillbilly racist redneck crap like Lynard Skynyrd. ...and on the other hand we have those who are overly obsessed with Freddie Mercury. Sure, who can deny that Freddie was one of the greatest rock stars ever, and I mean what true Queen fan could deny not loving Freddie for being who he was and for everything he did for Queen. Yet some people just haven't gotten over the fact that Freddie is gone, and they still fail to realize that life goes on for the rest of us. Once again, Brian and Roger are NOT REPLACING FREDDIE, Paul Rodgers is just a guest musician on this tour. I'm sure Freddie wouldn't mind at all that Paul Rodgers tried on his shoes for a little while, especially taking into account that Freddie had a lot of admiration and respect for Paul. People have the right to choose not going to see this tour, and that's understandable. However, it's extremely annoying that so many fuckin' idiots do nothing but coming here to this boards and spoil the fun for others who are eagerly awaiting to see this tour. I could understand that they're upset if Brian and Roger were forcing them to go see them, but THEY'RE NOT... NOBODY IS DIGGING INSIDE YOUR POCKETS, SO STOP WHINNING! |

i agree with MR. jingles, to me i'm looking forward to this show, hopefully it comes to the states, i'm also a tremendous freddie fan, but like MR. Jingles says, life go's on, and i'm glad their playing with paul. MR. Rodgers is also a rock legend, it's not like they went out and did what the doors did, hiring someone who's not in the same league as jim morrison. i think paul is in the top 20 or 30 of the greatest front men ever. |

Even Brits would find it a terrible choice taking into account that Robbie can't sing that good, and if he was picked then he'd make a fool of himself by turning into a Freddie Mercury wannabe, just like he did on that 'We Are The Champions' performance. Paul Rodgers on the other hand is a legend to many, and without a doubt a frontman who deserves a lot of respect. The best thing about Paul Rodgers is that he's being himself when he's playing with Brian and Roger, and he's not trying in anyway to become Freddie Mercury. |

thank god they didn't pick robbie williams, now that would have been a major let down. |

lol i did draw that thanks xxx and yeah i dont think robbie would even come close to freddie he just rocks but robbie sucks ass! |

When they released MIH. ALthough I haven'e listened to it in a while I just remember being disapointed. The same happened when they released MIH the Films. |

I find Hot Space ammusing - It makes me smile. Very Clever in places, such as Deacon's Back Chat, although I feel it was saved by Under Pressure, from being completely lost in time. The Musical is entertaining too. However I am a little let down by The album Magic Live. Isn't this just the Wembley 86 album, with less tracks? I understand they may be diff recordings, but they are exactly the same arrangments of the songs on Wem 86. . . ummm! |
