  1. Justin Hawkins

    Just read the news about Justin Hawkins (of The Darkness fame) having quit the band, citing addiction to drugs. Personally I think it's a shame. I didn't think the Darkness sounded remotely like Queen at all (more lik...

  2. Best live performance of Bohemian Rhapsody

    This reminds me of a thread we were discussing awhile back. http://www.queenzone.com/queenzone/forumnew/forum_topic_view.aspx?Q=526671 General concensus was that Newcastle 79 and Hammersmith 75 were the best.

  3. ANNOUNCE - Stadhalle, Vienna - May 2nd, 1978 FLAC, 2nd Generation Torrent

    Thanks for this! Woot

  4. Announce: Queen Live in Leiden 11.27.80

    Many thanks! Not enough game performances around so this is a welcome addition!

  5. ANNOUNCE Tokyo 9.5.1985-very good+ quality

    Thanks heaps mate! Appreciate it!

  6. Freddie's voice colour

    Hahahaha I like this forum, it actually debates Fred's voice rather than what colour socks he had or whether he could use chopsticks. At MK his voice is pretty good but it's a different timbre to the 70's, it's deeper...

  7. ANNOUNCE Tokyo 1979 DVD

    Thanks Frank39! Much much appreciated. It's an awesome show. Delightful concert. You can really hear how Fred's voice is struggling in places after touring for 2+ months. I've heard the 6.05.79 gig in Sapporo and he i...

  8. Freddie VS Elton Piano Playing

    I read in Lesley Ann Jones bio of Freddie that he passed up to and including Grade 8 in practical and theory. Hmmmm.......... I'd prob say Elton is better because when people thinkn Elton John they think 'piano' as we...

  9. These Are The Days Of Our Lives (Classic Queen Version)

    Ignore PainPleasure John, you are 100% correct about this being official material. PainPleasure: Why post this stuff for? Would you like this site to be shut down or sued? All because your 'pride' has been a little de...

  10. Best Live Vocal Performance By Freddie!

    Franck GAVARD PERRET wrote: I agree, the 2 nights in Vienna 82 are great, thanks to Freddie's voice which was in a very pretty shape. A nice "We Are the Champions" performance, don't you think so ? Moreover,...

  11. Best Live Vocal Performance By Freddie!

    Love of My Life on the Live Killers album is nice but only in that the audience participation is excellent. Houston 1977 is better if you just wanna hear Fred sing it nicely. Hammersmith 79 has an excellent version of...

  12. Best Live Vocal Performance By Freddie!

    Localboy80 wrote: Hi rwon041! I agree that Sao Paulo, 1981 was an excellent version of 'Somebody To Love' but there are one or two 'cracks' in his voice so to speak. Very picky I know but Milton Keynes wins it for me....

  13. Best Live Vocal Performance By Freddie!

    Good thread localboy. Nice way to fill in my afternoon tea at work on a Friday afternoon (Lazing on a Friday/ Sunday afternoon). This it not really one of Freddie's best vocal performances in a song but as we are on t...

  14. Best Live Vocal Performance By Freddie!

    Incidentally I think that this has the potential to be an awesome thread! Somebody To Love at MK is NOT as good as Sao Paulo 20/3/1981. He's much better on that one. The only thing missing is the 'wooooaahhhh' that he...

  15. Best Live Vocal Performance By Freddie!

    Your welcome buddy! Though personally I think that the best live vocal performance by Freddie has got to be We Are The Champions at Live Aid. He belts it out, hitting all the notes too when he sings "We Are The C...

  16. A Queen bootleg : Pabeillon de Madrid(February, 23rd, 1979)

    Gidday mate, I don't have the gig or anything, but you'll probably have more luck if you put this in the REQUEST section. Out of curiousity, why are you so anxious for this gig? Most of the gigs from the Jazz tour Fre...

  17. DVDs Verdict - Earl's Court, Houston, Hammersmith

    Hi, yup I've also bought Houston 77, Hammersmith 75/79 from Nation of Haircuts. Excellent service and saves so much trouble downloading and converting to DVD formats. Thoroughly recommend buying these gigs from him. O...

  18. Q's Top 100 Albums

    Bear in mind, these are magazine readers of Q, they may be younger people/ teens/ early 20's. The point I'm making is that they are certainly not representative of the british public like you are insinuating. Somethin...

  19. Lester's Album Discussion Thread - News Of The World

    Hi Lester, I will do my best to contribute meaningfully to this discussion and get the ball rolling so to speak. We Are The Champions (WATC) and We Will Rock You (WWRY) are of course the staples of this album, brillia...

  20. Houston 77 on rapidshare

    Thanks mate! Great sounding gig, I wish Freddie would try sing the high notes in We Are The Champions though (like he did in Live Aid), his voice is sounding extremely good in this gig but as usual he defers it to Mr...
