So they're releasing a new album on September 15 and I think they'll tour as well. What do people think of this? Should they have changed the band name? Are the tracks worthy of the Queen name?


Personally I think Paul Rodgers is pretty good and the new tracks sound pretty cool, but they can never be the real thing again

i think they realised the tour dates but no ireland date. maybe they are waiting for O2 to open

"Say it's not true" has to be one of the worst, most cringworthy songs I've ever heard and "C-lebrity" is an embarassment.

I dunno, what about their other cheesy hits, breakthru, its a hard life, the great pretender, actually anything off Queen 3 and most of Queen 2. I like those songs though cos I like cheesy music.

Queens last rocking track was One Vision everything after that was wierdly mushy/cheesy and glossy.

Mike.

innuendo was good imo, and these are the days of our lives...I used to dislike the latter but grew to like it as its reflective and fairly honest as songs go, it has a nice atmosphere to it as well, bittersweet I guess. The Kind of Magic album had some glossy songs on it though it had some great tracks too.

Counting down the days TBH, have tickets booked for their Liverpool gig and first London gig at the O2 arena.

Like the Simpson's movie, I would never expect something that will change the face of music and influence our generation, although I'm sure there'll be a few cracking Bri riffs along the way!

I think Paul Rodgers is an absolutely terrific singer, but going by that terrible C-lebrity song, I doubt I'll be buying the new album. It's like an even worse version of Rock Star, and honestly, having one of the most iconic Rock bands of all time singing about how they want to be on TV is just pathetic.

I'm a huge, life long fan of Queen, but barring the prospects of seeing them live and getting to hear some classics, none of this has me excited. I'd dearly loved to be proved wrong, and that the rest of the songs on the album will be absolute crackers, but no way am I getting my hopes up.

well the least you can hope for is that it will be cheesy, thats all Im looking forward to, I like everything by Queen, including the really bad stuff like The Miracle, what a brilliantly awful song!

Believe it or not, The Miracle is Brian May's favourite song!!!

Yeah there'll be cheese guaranteed interspersed with some new stuff I imagine. Judging by the last tour (which had me in tears btw - that empty seat next to Bri on Love of My Life and '39), there'll be plenty to look forward to.
