  1. BBC Sessions - how did they come about etc...

    Thought I'd post something related to the ON Air material that wasn't just a moan - even though I share similar thoughts about the curiousity that is the deluxe set. I imagine many of these questions will be covered i...

  2. Queen ON Air

    Is there anything here that's not readily available either via bootleg or even on YouTube!?? What' s new?

  3. Queen: On Air (Pre-order now available)

    I'm afraid I join the moaners. Hope they've at least had the sense not to include the "atmospheric" audience applause on the NOTW session!! ;)

  4. Has the current incarnation of Queen worn out its magic?

    Negative Creep wrote: I don't agree their creativity ended in '91. MIH and NOBU were great. They were still creatively minded until they realised they could make more money with a fucking play. Simple as that. Roger c...

  5. Has the current incarnation of Queen worn out its magic?

    Ivo-1976 wrote: It is what it is. 2 members from a 70's and 80's (and a little bit of 90's) band on a revival greatest hits tour. There is no intention whatsoever to create new songs or albums. Just give the crowd wha...

  6. Best crescendos in Queen's music

    Speaking of It's a Hard Life - that bit in the extended version where Fred sings "yes I know it's a long hard fight!". That on its own is enough to earn him that blue plaque.??

  7. one vision documentary

    Yep, Magic Years. It's here - around six minutes in.I couldn't remember the bit until I saw it again and it all came flooding back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgYYcD1JsRE&index=4&list=PLSycdS127z5b7UBILE5t5TnNDlI...

  8. Freddie`s Last Will and testament Public ?

    He signed that just two months before he died. Presumably there was a preexisting will cos it feels like he was cutting it pretty close given how precarious his health was at the time.

  9. Queen multitracks hypothetical WishList

    Oddly enough I'd love the Hot Space tracks to be available cos they're the tracks with the greatest room for improvement. A lot of folks really hate Staying Power for example but imagine the dodgy synth bass riff repl...

  10. Decision to share songwriting Credits

    But why that album and who do we think the idea came from?

  11. Decision to share songwriting Credits

    I've always wondered why the band suddenly decided to start sharing songwriting credits on The Miracle and where the origin of this decision lay. Did they have a band meeting in late 87/early 88 and decide something f...

  12. Hot Space - a little gem

    I Want To Break Free is a quite good song which has a staggeringly good lead vocal which lifts it up into something really rather special.

  13. Songs you wished they played live?

    Oh and Dancer. Believe it or not...

  14. Songs you wished they played live?

    I'd like to have had a live version of Las Palabras de Amor. I find the studio version a bit too insipid. And live versions of I Go Crazy and Dead on Time would have been a joy to behold.

  15. David Bowie died aged 69

    One of Elvis Presley's first post army movies (Flaming Star) was originally to be called Black Star because, according to the plot and I'm guessing folklore) when Native Americans are about to die they see a black sta...

  16. What Queen songs lyrics do you dislike?

    HEADLONG - "Then it ain't so groovy when you're screaming in the night Let me out of this cheap `B' movie" Terrible lyrics here. It's usually only a few Roger's lyrics that make cringe but this stank the place out the...

  17. The Impact of These Are The Days of our Lives

    I remember being so surprised at the time as I had no idea this had been filmed. I thought it was clever of them to have filmed it so far in advance, almost like it was planned as a farewell. They had gone to such len...

  18. Don't stop me now (Gay anthem nr 1)

    With Killer Queen I think Brian was worried it wasn't necessarily a song which was representative of the album. The public may have thought Sheer Heart Attack was this album full of light pop songs when it's far from...

  19. Hardest Queen Song to Sing

    Singing these songs is one thing but singing them with a decent tone is another. I can bang out a bit of Tom Jones in karaoke with all the high notes and it sounds fine (well I haven't been bottle off at least...) But...

  20. Favourite Queen Video

    A KInd Of Magic - cos it's like a mini movie and is what got me hooked on the band in the first place. One Vision - love seeing them in the studio doing their thing. I didn't appreciate it at the time though as I was...
