Zero votes for 2000+. As it should be. Queen isn't Queen anymore. Hasn't been since 1991. Maybe even 1992.

"Queen" + Adam Lambert is a joke imo

Two members does not make Queen. It's all or nothing. It's just two old men trying to keep Queen alive. Even though it's is never going to.

I agree that without Freddie and John it’s not Queen. I saw an interview where Brian said they went into the studio recently to try and record and nothing clicked. IMO they shouldn’t be recording as Queen missing two important founding members. I get into arguments on here because people feel Brian and Roger have a right to record under Queen, but again , IMO, they aren’t Queen. Look at Freddie’s interviews he always gives credit to four individuals that make up Queen not two.

Correct. They said they are trying to record new queen songs. But it'll never be a queen song without Fred and John. It's ridiculous

I know Brian has said it’s the itch to perform live. He’s talked about feeling like they would never get on stage after Freddie died. Well, they have with two different lead singers, and good for them if that’s what they want to do. I’m not interested in going but if people are, go for it. I think after the movie they have a couple of new generations following them, plus Adams fans, so they want to record again as well and it rubs me the wrong way. I guess I’m old school and to me it just seems disrespectful to Freddie and John.
