Queen to record first album in 15 years
Posted: 30 Oct '06, 12:05
Queen are to begin work on their first long-play album - of new material - in fifteen years.
Brian May - pictured holding something a proper Queen gave him once - announced the news via his website. The pop-rockers have toured with former Free singer Paul Rodgers on vocals since the death of Freddie Mercury, and Rodgers will sing on the new album.
However, May has stressed that if there's a distinct lack of magic in the studio, the recordings will be discarded. May has also said that whatever emerges from the studio will be unlike anything either Queen or Free have previously released.
No release date has been set.

jesus, at least call it something else other than "queen"
i suggest "audioSLAVE"
-
Not queen
-
'Freen'?
-
-
This is going to be bad.
maybe they could get Justin Hawkins to write their songs. or even be in the band.
-
Yes
Justin Hawkins would be a better idea, since they'll probably be a parody of their former selves anyway
-
-
If it will sound nothing like Queen or Free has ever done
...then why call it "Queen"?
Like we don't all know the answer to that one...
-
cant wait
bet it sounds brilliant
-
perhaps
they'll release it under a comic disguise alter ego called, say, smashing pumpkins or something...
-
...
i don't get it...?
-
They're working with Queen's old producer
Perhaps that's what he's getting at.
Anyhow, I'd put money on the Pumpkins new album trouncing this.
Mainly because Brian May has chavvy-gran hair.

well i think its a great idea
personally i cant wait to see what they come up with. May and Taylor are great songwriters and Rodgers is pretty damn good at it aswell. i would love to see them tour with new material, although i do agree that it would be beter to call the band something completely different. i think Queen + Paul Rodgers worked when they were touring with essentially a greatest hits tour of both of their former bands but i think to call the new material Queen is pushing it abit tbh
-
no band
should carry on when there iconic singer dies
its over stick to writing books about the universe
plus may is a total twat!!
-
Queen
are queens (gay)....YEAH!
-
Where...
...out of interest, is the evidence for 'MaY Bein A toTal TwAT LOLZ!'?
(This quote may have been modified).
-
see any interview he has ever done
then see hair
case closed
-
-
-
well i think its a great idea
if you and your new Queen album fuck right off and die down a deep, deep hole.
-
LOLZ
OMGZZZ your a complete cunt. maybe you should just die instead, twat
-
-
-
NO.
Queen without Freddie is no Queen at all. GIVE UP already.
-
unlike anything Queen or Free have previously released
so it's gonna sound like a Bad Company record ?
-
yeah
the drum and bass bad company too.
-
correction
the actual quote was that it dosnt sound like anything Queen or Paul have ever produced before. so that includes Free, Bad Company and The Firm plus the countless other bands that Paul has been a part of
-
-
big shoes to fill
when ur toes got cut off tiiiime ago!
but you never know...-
It clearly isnt a good idea
its like if the Jimi Hendrix experiance released a new album.
ooooh how would that go....-
how?
did non of the other members of Queen have any other imput apart from playing their instuments then? oh no wait all 4 of them wrote major hits in the UK aswell as all over the world
-

-
They should release it under the name of
Deluded Old C*nts
-
if they really want to impress me...
they should rip freddy mercury from his grave and nail his rotting corpse to the microphone stand to prove they're serious about a reunion.
then get in some dwarves naked and covered in blood, am i right fellas?
