Talk:The Cosmos Rocks

Lack of consistency

The first line of the article says "Queen + Paul Rodgers album titled, "The Cosmos Rocks", but the article name implies that there is no title. Should we move the article back to "The Cosmos Rocks" or edit the first line? I think as per wikipedia rules the article can be titled the cosmos rocks as many internet sources (including the BBC) are saying that The Cosmos Rocks is, in fact, its title.

Title

The album title has yet to be announced. Cosmos Rocks is the name of the tour. Why is it being applied to the album? Aula^TPN 12:20, 2 April 2008 (UTC) BBC Has said that that will be the name of the album, and yes it has been announced.http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7306006.stm AceKingQueenJack (talk) 14:27, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

The Cosmos Rocks → Untitled 2008 Queen album — Queen's official website states the album is untitled.[2] —72.9.20.251 (talk) 00:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

It DOES appear to be the working title and the one most likely to be recognised by readers. And we would need to rename it AGAIN when the final name is published. So I'd be (mildly) against renaming at THIS point. Martin Packer (talk) 08:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Cosmos Rocks

Is it confirmed that there will be a song by the name of "The Cosmos Rocks"? 85.243.128.112 (talk) 22:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

It's actually called "Cosmos Rockin'".Sposato (talk) 17:10, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Confirmed tracks

There's a bit of a discrepancy with the confirmed tracks. Only the following have been officially confirmed by anyone: "Say It's Not True", "C-lebrity", "We Believe", "Call Me", and "Whole House Rocking". Del Shannon's "Runaway" is the cover version that was going to be on the album, but isn't anymore.

"The Cosmos Rocks" is most likely part of "Whole House Rocking". I don't see anywhere on Brian's website where he hints at "46664 The Call" being on the new album, apart from a vague reply to a fan letter ("Well, this is certainly worth thinking about ...maybe you will start a landslide !"). To me, that doesn't say anything about the song being on the new album, except that he might think about it. He may also just be saying that to placate the fan -- who knows. But it's unconfirmed all the same. "Warboys (A Prayer For Peace)" and "Take Love" have also been hinted at being on the new album, mostly by Paul, but they are still unconfirmed. One of the more recent interviews with Paul said that "Take Love" hadn't been recorded yet, and that "Warboys" was offered to Q+PR but wasn't recorded yet either. And I have no idea where "Hopefully" came from.

I'm not saying that these songs won't end up on the album, but until otherwise reported and confirmed, the aforementioned five tracks should be placed under an "Unconfirmed / Rumored / Wishful thinking" category so as not to confuse fans. Or, at the very least, someone should cite their sources and confirm them. 68.37.95.196 (talk) 14:50, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Authorship

I think we're very light on citations for authorship. And in some cases authorship might be disputed. Cosmos Rockin' is a case in point - as I've not hear the "they all did it" :-) claim before. Martin Packer (talk) 20:00, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Agreed ... the only "confirmed" authorships are: 'Cosmos Rockin' (Roger; mentioned in a radio interview), 'Warboys' (Paul), 'Call Me' (Paul), 'We Believe' (Brian), 'Say It's Not True' (Roger), and 'C-lebrity' (Roger). Everything else is unconfirmed, and shouldn't be passed off as truth when there's nothing substantial to back it up. 71.224.53.203 (talk) 02:51, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
