To some it would be like Adam Lambert's backing band taking James Durbin going out as "The Adam Lambert Band" with James singing Adam's songs. Ok so not QUITE the same but that's as close as I could come to what they are feeling... I wonder if B&R know they are a "backing band"... ;D |

Well because they say it's NOT what it is. Brian and Roger are not Queen. Queen is Freddie, Brian, Roger, and John. Without Freddie or John is it disingenuous to call it Queen. PLEASE NOTE - I'm not one who gets in arms with what they call it. To me it's the surviving members of Queen doing the Queen catalogue. So screw it. BUT I do see their point. To some it would be like Adam Lambert's backing band taking James Durbin going out as "The Adam Lambert Band" with James singing Adam's songs. Ok so not QUITE the same but that's as close as I could come to what they are feeling... Maybe they could just call themselves Two Mercenary Old Gits + An American Talent Show Reject Present the Music of Queen. : |

I'm trying to write something about "Trespassing" the song and I need some help. I would really, REALLY, like to know if Brian May and Roger Taylor have ever reacted to the group of Queen fans who have a problem with them using that name; if they have made any comments or what their general attitude on that issue is. It obviously hasn't stopped them from performing ( thank universe!), but I would like to know their feelings and opinions regarding that. Anything is welcome - links, thoughts, articles... here, or on TP thread, or you can PM me. This is what I've done so far: www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=adam2&thread=861&post=287939 Thanks in advance! There has never been any direct comment on the issue from B or R...and I would know  The closest I ever heard anybody say anything was when Roger said something to the effect of that some people questioned whether they were tarnishing their legacy with current actions (this might have been even before QAL though) where he said his comment would be fuck it, it was their legacy to tarnish if that's the case or something to that effect. If I find the exact quote I'll bring it here. Is there really a significant group of Queen fans who don't want the name "Queen" associated with these concerts? Because they have been REALLY careful to label things "Queen with Adam Lambert." It has been made pretty clear by everyone that Adam is not joining the band; he has said time and time again that he is their "guest." I guess I don't know what more Brian and Roger could do to convince people. They have been so respectful of Freddie and the original band. I mean, I can totally understand how certain Queen fans might have no interest in Adam fronting the band. I get that. But, he is singing Queen songs, and Brian and Roger are still the heart of it. How could any Queen fan have a problem with "Queen with Adam Lambert?" That's kind of what it is. Well because they say it's NOT what it is. Brian and Roger are not Queen. Queen is Freddie, Brian, Roger, and John. Without Freddie or John is it disingenuous to call it Queen. PLEASE NOTE - I'm not one who gets in arms with what they call it. To me it's the surviving members of Queen doing the Queen catalogue. So screw it. BUT I do see their point. To some it would be like Adam Lambert's backing band taking James Durbin going out as "The Adam Lambert Band" with James singing Adam's songs. Ok so not QUITE the same but that's as close as I could come to what they are feeling... hmmmm....imo it is a LOT not QUITE the same....it was never the Freddie Mercury band, was it? I especially do not see John Deacon's part in all this as he has purposefully and willingly 'left' the band... It just seems awfully small minded and nasty... especially as it is right there on the forum for Brian and Roger to read. At least have the decency to make this sort of conversation private..good grief. Whatever happened to common courtesy... Why don't they start a Freddie Mercury forum, separate from the Queen one and carry on with that stuff over there as it is clear that they are not fans of QUEEN at all.... sorry... |
