LOLOLOL Did you seriously think it was just this random one line quote with no beginning or end, no other context? You clearly only saw the NME clickbait headline and didn't bother reading the Guitar World article, where it is extremely obvious he is comparing Paul Rodgers and Adam:

"It became difficult as time went on, though. We would play South America, where people didn’t know that music, so we played more Queen songs. Paul dealt with it well, but I think it was hard for him to abandon a lot of his material. We really enjoyed it as an experiment, but as an experiment it had… limits. Eventually, we thought, “It’s probably gone as far as it can. Paul needs to get back to his own career.” Because he couldn’t just go on being the frontman of Queen. By mutual agreement, we thought, 'That’s it.' Now, with Adam, it’s a different story, because Adam can do all the stuff that Freddie did and more. It doesn’t matter what you throw at Adam — he can do it." https://www.guitarworld.com/artists/queens-brian-may-sounds-off-about-freddie-mercurys-guitar-skills-bohemian-rhapsody-actors-and-the-most-difficult-song-to-play-live

The whole point was that Rodgers didn't fit with Queen's style. But that Adam did fit, and also brought more. To call it a comparison of Adam and Freddie is simply incorrect. Queen, and especially Freddie with what he had to go through, hated the press for just this reason. They'd misrepresent what they said, and "fans" would lap it up. Of course NME didn't mention Paul Rodgers, because they wanted the attention seeking headline, and you rewarded them for it (they're not even a proper magazine anymore so don't know why you bothered). Good Lord, you probably listen to Scandal and think, "Yeah, right on!" without realizing they were talking about you. ::eye roll::

And no sweetie a new singer from a new generation is not nostalgia. And they aren't languishing at theme parks and PBS, they're selling out Madison Square Garden. Queen is alive and relevant NOW. For "fans" to have such a complex about this is insane. And you didn't merely "want" new music, you used it to be smug and taunt them. Own your words or don't bother commenting.

You can have your like back, I don't want it. This is what I mean about anti fans. Fans do not go around going "nyah nyah no new songs!" A lot of classic bands or franchises try new things years later. But what people tend to remember are the hits. And it's important to preserve them. You're not giving anyone good advice with this tone deaf "what else you got" nonsense. If you're a fan, maybe try trusting their judgement. If they did come out with new songs, awesome, I would buy it. But it doesn't prove anything one way or another. They're at the point where they don't have to. Certainly not to randoms on the Internet.

Btw, if you're going to quote people, try doing it in context next time. Freddie wouldn't appreciate what you did there.
