  1. What shows are you attending?

    16 March, Toronto. (Travelling from Newfoundland)

  2. Surely this isn't right...is it?

    The photo on the motorcycle was taken on April 21, 1997. The fan in question (I will not say her name) travelled to London from Toronto, for the Convention and decided to pay a visit to John's home -- and it just happ...

  3. ANNOUNCE: 25.07.1970, Truro, PJ's Club, UK

    I tend to side with the skeptics. We need proof that what you're claiming to be true - is actually legit. There's no need to upload to prove your validity. Show us a picture of the reel-to-reel tape or play it over th...

  4. When are Canadian tickets going on sale ???

    Anyone have any definite word on this ?? Ticketmaster.ca doesn't list Toronto or Vancouver, nor does the Q+PR pre-sale page. Any ideas? Thanks, Andrew

  5. brian and roger didn't create queen

    I really don't care about any arguments related to this thread...but here's my take on the 'origin'... Yes...Brian and Roger did initially get together to form the band Smile...(or more specifically...Brian and Tim St...

  6. Who's solo stuff do you like better

    If we're talking about Queen...and RELATED... I urge everyone on this thread to pick up a copy of Tim Staffell's album aMIGO. It's tremendous! www.timstaffell.com It's nothing like what Smile or Queen did - but at the...

  7. bohemion piano

    Basically, it comes down to preference. Personally, in the case of Bo-Rhap where the piano line is SO important in making the piece sound RIGHT (versus these crap sheet-music versions you find out there), I think it's...

  8. Freddie and piano

    For those with the Magic Years Trilogy, Roy Thomas Bakers' wife also mentions about the early days and their (Queen's) financial situation...and mentioned '...and Freddie wanted to buy a Piano'. This comment came in a...

  9. See What a Fool I've Been

    If we're talking piano stuff... Take My Breath Away I wouldn't really consider blues. On the other hand, I think Melancholy Blues would be I see 'Queen Blues' as more-or-less relating to the true genre. (Dreamers Ball...

  10. Garden Lodge

    Let's me put it this way. If you were a successsful musician, how would you feel if hords of fans were hanging around outside your home and spraypainting your walls and ringing your doorbell? "MY MIND" understands thi...

  11. Garden Lodge

    Okay, call me a shit-disturber, but in my view, hanging outside the home of someone you don't even know is a bit ridiculous. What's the point? It's fine to visit the house ONCE - we all should do it...but why go back...

  12. THE red special

    On a related note - re: the Burns pickups I actually read - or was told this by someone - that back in 1993 - the folks at Guild were working on their signature copies and wanted to get Seymour Duncan to make an authe...

  13. Why Doesn't The U.S. Get It?

    And we still have the best beer and the best hockey team in the world!! :)

  14. Why Doesn't The U.S. Get It?

    I didn't slam Americans or their country...I simply put my own opinion out there as to WHY I think Music has become a popularity contest. I simply use a couple of American artists - tho the same could easily be said f...

  15. oft-asked: borhap piano music?

    Buy one of the 'Off the Record' books. These easy-to-find sheet music scores are not authentic to the recording. They're 'close' but not as close as the 'Off the Record' books. There is one available for 'Greatest Hit...

  16. What is your Favorite Queen Love song?

    Simple! Tie Your Mother Down! How many guys here have had trouble with their girlfriends' parents? (I see some hands raised - lol) A.

  17. Why Doesn't The U.S. Get It?

    To: 'Boy of Destiny'...a fellow Canadian: >Quote: Music isn't a popularity contest. I agree you here in principal...but as far as the music INDUSTRY goes, I have to disagree. If it ISN'T a popularity contest, then exp...

  18. ANNOUNCE: Queen, Milwaukee 07.03.1975 - FLAC

    What's the quality of this like? Soundboard? Andrew

  19. Brian May Guitar Setup

    Couple of more things.. 1 - re: switches on the Brian May guitars... If you're wearing the guitar and looking down at the switches... Each row runs parallel to the pickups. Top row - On/Off (the row closer to pickups)...

  20. Brian May Guitar Setup

    My advice - http://www.brianmayworld.com/ This is (in my view) the best resource on the web for information on Brian's guitar. The messageboard on there is also great for answering any and all question about the guita...
