  1. mastermind on bbc

    Did anyone else (in the UK)see that guy last night on mastermind have Queen as his specialist subject? The questions seemed pretty tame compared with those I remember from the conventions. I've not been to a conventio...

  2. The meshing of Paul Rodgers and Queen

    Like many people, I had some reservations but I never had a problem with Paul. Like many I wasn't truly happy about using the Queen name as much because Deaky was missing as there being no Freddie (the name Queen + Pa...

  3. Queen's Brian May has been placed 4 in Q magazines as a pathetic rockstar

    Sorry, I should have made it clear that I wasn't refering to the Q article in particular, just a general comment about much of the negative press Brian seems to get these days, and also the way some people seem to thi...

  4. Queen's Brian May has been placed 4 in Q magazines as a pathetic rockstar

    People shouldn't take things like this seriously, and that includes Brian because he can come across badly the way he reacts to some stuff. When you have made your name in rock music you have to accept that some peopl...

  5. MK on vinyl

    Last week I recieved my copy of the triple LP from Queenonline. I have to say I'm disappointed. Why? It was only in a single sleeve. Yes, it is the lovely thick vinyl that good albums always used to be made of until t...

  6. Freddie's Favorite singer was...

    On a radio interview I have from 1989, Freddiie says his favorite singers are Arethra Franklin and Robert Plant (also mentions George Michael as a favorite from the music around at that particular time). Can quite bel...

  7. why they did stop touring 82

    I seem to remember that at the time they were not getting on as well together and were basically sick of the sight of each other having lived in each others pockets on the road for so long. They needed a break and it...

  8. Somebody HAD to say it..........

    Its not so much that ANATO is overated, more that some other albums are underated, especially NOTW, Jazz and Queen II. SHA and ADATR are equals to ANATO in my mind. Its status has a lot to do with the fact that it was...

  9. How did you become a Queen Fan?

    Through my older brother who was 6 years older than me. He started getting into Queen when BoRap came out. I just overheard a lot of the music he was playing. A year later he had a tape of ANATO which one of his frien...

  10. Freddie and touring

    Thanks Arlene. I'd assumed it must have happened way before 1989 and that the standard reply was to keep away the press. I'd just thought that there might have been a brief period before he felt he could tell them. So...

  11. Similarities with Zep.

    Many people must have noticed the similarites between Queen and Led Zeppelin. Here's a few: Both made up of four musicians which never changed (not including the bassists before John obviously). Both bands finished (i...

  12. F*cking piece of crap!

    Wouldn't trust any autographs on ebay to be genuine.

  13. Freddie and touring

    I have just listened to an old tape I recorded off the radio in 1989 when the miracle was released. In it,the question of if any tour was planned came up. Freddie basically said that he wanted to get off the treadmill...

  14. Why disliking the biggest hits...

    In many respects I think it's often just a case of them being overplayed, although more recently WWRY has been trashed by others. In the 80s, the singles became a lot more pop than rock in general which wasn't to ever...

  15. March of the black queen

    Never really known what Black Queen is about. Much of the album seems to have something to do with fairies/fantasy stuff. It is an awesome track. One of the best by anyone of any group. I remember hearing Brian explai...

  16. Does all this "Its not really Queen" disrespect John Decon?

    I am fed up of people getting a really hard time from some Queenzoners for daring to suggest anything about this not being Queen. I was at the Sheffield show last night. It was fantastic. Probably the best concert I'v...

  17. just for laughs

    Whilst surfing the net looking for suitable sites for my classes(I am a science teacher), I came across a site with daft things pupils had written in their exams. One of these was the following; To collect sulphur, ho...

  18. I hate them for what they've done

    The best concert I went to was Leeds 1982. Unfortunately I'm not old enough to have seen earlier tours. Technology is improving all the time. I would expect the sound to improve. I've nothing against the tour. I think...

  19. I hate them for what they've done

    Too many people are approaching these concerts the wrong way. I still have over a week to wait but it seems obvious to me that if you are going to compare these concerts with those with Freddie and John you are bound...

  20. BLASPHEMY!!!

    All these people slagging each other off for daring to criticise anything about the tour etc is getting boring. Everyone is entitiled to their opinion. Those people who say that you have to agree with everything Brian...
