link Why are they releasing this? What about greatest Flix 1 and 2? What about Queen Rocks? And why the hell do they have 2 Paul Rodgers songs on there!?! |
| InnuendoMay 02.04.2006 20:12 |
PLEASE don't tell me this is the 'new album with Freddie Mercury's vocals on it'? As it said in HR thing a few months back. Please don't let this be it! |

That's strange... yeah i wonder why two of his songs are there :S It shouldnt have two of his songs... because it still says Queen on the cover... hes not Queen. Now that it has two of his songs it should be named Queen and Paul Rodgers. Why did they make that mistake? |
| InnuendoMay 02.04.2006 20:24 |
Might be live stuff, it has * next to the names, so they might be from ROTC, just for promotion of the album as it didn't sell too well over there? Or maybe its too promote the tour or the fact that Queen are still around...in a way! I'm just brainstorming, i'm probably wrong, but it is interesting to see his songs on there! |
| its_a_hard_life 26994 02.04.2006 20:35 |
I'm not so bothered about his songs being on there. What bothers me is they still named it Queen on the cover and not Queen and Paul Rodgers. Anyone understands what i mean? I'm not bothered about Paul and his songs lol. I'm bothered he's using the Queen name for it though. |
| InnuendoMay 02.04.2006 20:36 |
Yeah i get what you mean, maybe they should have 'With Paul Rodgers Bonus Tracks' or something! Lol! |

But can you actually listen to the tracks, I didnt see that option anywhere??? |

| john bodega 03.04.2006 09:07 |
If money has a smell, this release reeks of it. I would *love* to see how Brian might justify this (watching him gobble like a turkey over the ANATO DVD features was funny enough...) but really, I think it's time they took some risks and did something *new*. They can afford to fail. People will still listen to it; I just wish he and Roger would record an album already. |

The why is pretty simple - a jillion people watch American Idol, and when they go to their local retailer Wednesday or Thursday morning of the 12th or 13th, humming the Queen tunes that they heard the contestants warbling the night(s) before, the record company, band, managers, et cetera, want there to be a product obviously tied-in to the show for them to buy. Its good sales and good promotion. And as for the two Queen + Paul Rodgers live tracks, again its obvious - publicity for the band, the tour and the ROTC release, and its a bone to throw in Paul Rodgers' direction, letting him get in on a bit of the sales pie. Is it a chash in? Absolutely yes. Is it the worst thing that's ever been done? No. The music business is still a business, and as crappy a show as American Idol is, they'd be stupid not to capitalize on the publicity as much as possible, because I guaran-damn-tee you that there will be thousands of people out looking to buy a Queen CD the week those shows air. By putting out a new cheap-and-dirty compilation for those thousands, they're making it that much easier to make sure they pick up sales and get their name out in the Best Buy, Wal-Mart, et cetera, ads, weekly fliers and in-store displays. Why not just buy Queen - Greatest Hits? Because its "old" and thus harder to market than a "new" CD that just has the same old songs on it. Whether it makes sense or not, that's how the business works. |

I never understood why people get upset over these kinds of things. From a fan's perspective it is or at least should be mostly all about the music. The bottomline is you either enjoy it or you don't. If you don't enjoy it, don't buy it. It really is that simple. From a record company perspective...this is a business. They can sell whatever they can get away with that they think is going to make them money. And this is the same perspective in seeing why they use the Queen name. It's a branding. It's like any other business, they hire and fire different people all the time. People die, people retire, people come and go. For example, when a store you like changes half their workers, should they have to change the name of the store, even though they are offering the very same merchandise? Sure, their service might be different (better, different or worse), but the underlying foundation, the themes, the look and feel are still there? The bottom line is, who ever is behind the "Queen" name, they are out there selling whatever it is that Queen does. Now if Brian, Roger and Paul decided to stop performing Queen music, then I might protest to change their name. It's like the Beach Boys. Everyone knows Brian Wilson is and was the mastermind behind the band, but to this day Mike Love, the only remaining original Beach Boy left still tours as the Beach Boys. And he has every right to do it, both morally and legally. |

i told you they were replacing Freddie Mercury!!! How dare they put those 2 crappy songs with the QUEEN songs! plus its titled QUEEN? PAUL ISNT QUEEN! Brian and Roger just give it up already, you old pigs! Freddie was QUEEN they will NEVER be successful without him |
| Bobby_brown 03.04.2006 16:59 |
Those must be the live tracks. Like in GH3 with Elton and George Michael! Let´s not take on Paul, because it´s not his fault. In this case it´s bad for him, because he's not even mentioned on the cover. I think that Queen and Paul Rodgers deserves other kind of respect and not to be treated with the marketing strategies for dumb asses!! Take care |

Please don't let this be it!From Amazon.com - Editorial Reviews Product Description In commemoration of Queen Week on American Idol (April 11 and 12, 2006), Hollywood Records is releasing Stone Cold Classics. The disc features 12 original studio hits featuring Freddie Mercury--including "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Will Rock You," "We Are the Champions," "Another One Bites the Dust," and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"--plus two live bonus tracks with Paul Rodgers from Return of the Champions: "All Right Now" and "Feel Like Makin' Love." |

"i told you they were replacing Freddie Mercury!!! How dare they put those 2 crappy songs with the QUEEN songs! plus its titled QUEEN? PAUL ISNT QUEEN! Brian and Roger just give it up already, you old pigs! Freddie was QUEEN they will NEVER be successful without him " Why on earth do you think Paul Rodgers is so bad? This is the kind of attitude I despise- If its not Freddie, its crap. Don't be stupid. It's funny- whenever I mentioned I was going to a Queen concert- almost everyone said the same thing- "Why? Freddies dead- its not going to be the same.." Well.. no sh!t sherlock! Its not the same- but that doesn't mean it sucks. I rather enjoyed Paul as the front man, and think its cool they put some of the new stuff on this CD. I saw a sticker on this CD at Target- and it has a lot to do with American Idol. I have a feeling that the songs that are sung tonight will be from this album. Personally, since I like the more obscure Queen stuff, I don't buy best of albums because most of the songs on it have been played to death anyway. |
