I don't know why I mixed the 80s/90s thing up but anyway... :S Freddy died after "Innuendo" and the band was over. To my knowledge, it has always been Freddy, Brian, Roger and John (It wasn't like Pink Floyd with David Gilmour replacing Syd Barrett and Roger Waters leaving after "The Wall" etc.) When Freddy died, that was the end of the story. What they did was took a bunch of incomplete Freddy recordings, before he did (and probably not releasable) and put them out for the sole purpose of making a buck? Carrying on the band name? Whatever happened, it always come across as slightly creepy. To me, anyway. Freddy's dead and he's not coming back. We don't want to hear another album composed of outtakes when Freddy's in heaven? As for Paul Rodgers, I wish them all the best of luck, but they're not Queen. I'll continue listening to the real albums instead. > > Oh, no argument here that Innuendo is the best they did. > It's unbelievable.
