I'm wondering if mr Rossi will get on board with Alan and John and do something with this song now Rick has past on as a kind of tribute. I hope not. I would have to agree Ive, if he didn't want anything to do with it at the time it would be rather hypocritical in my opinion to do something now. And i doubt Rick would want him to either.

I agree with what you are saying but surely when you take worldwide sales into account in the territories they are and were popular in, it must still mount up. 3 compilations at least in this country alone since 2000 going a minimum of silver and there has been other compilations in other territories.
From an interview after the 1st FF tour I seem to remember them saying they got 200k each approx. and then there were more dates in some bigger for the 2nd tour, then there's the DVD and album releases after that, again not massive sellers but in all territories they can still add up. I know they would have paid tax but its still a chunk.
I know he won't be in Frames league but he must be doin ok.
John will get royalties from two of the bands greatest hits ROLD and BTR. As he is credited on them (even though I don't think he wrote any part of them). There has evidently been some issue with royalties to Alan over the years. As that's why certain releases were pulled at the last min about 10 years ago. However by 2011 these had all been sorted and these releases have (Nearly) all gone ahead. I suspect that Alan and John get a modest income from what they do I don't know exactly what Dayle and Gillie do but Gillie has been on game shows a lot in the past. Plus I think she runs a business. I think Alan said that it made sense to credit ROLD to John as well ("It was very much a band effort").

Never known so many 'fans' pull a band to pieces like happens on here Its called having a negative opinion when some feel its warranted & justified, so you deem that as pulling a band to pieces ?,, in other words you expect anybody with opinions like that to say nothing then ? If that's what you think...not what I said but there you go

Been on any Queen sites latley much worse than here Well! anybody that dares to knock any band isn't a TRUE fan, someone told me that ya know Seen that argument for years though back on the old SQMB. Constructive critisism is fine it's when fans go fingers in the ears. Total rubbish and the people who listen to it are idiots that gets people upset.

Total rubbish and the people who listen to it are idiots that gets people upset. .. and I thought with Quo fans it's the other way round: You can't be a true fan if you don't criticise most everything after '86. Going by that definition the Queen mb seems to be full of true fans

Amazing how one small observation can bring out the childishness in some people...I don't necessarily agree or disagree with comments on here but it would be nice to see something positive...there I have probably stirred up another hornets nest...and they will be out with their sting soon...they cannot resist being insulting to people who dare to disagree with their opinions
