  1. The Miracle

    It's my least favourite album now. Not keen on most of the songs and the production is quite terrible. I Want It All had come out the previous month and I loved that so it was a huge disappointment to hear the final a...

  2. Death on Two Legs: A Financial Perspective

    Great read, thank you. I don't think Queen expected instant riches, they were too smart to get carried away like that. But they'd had a UK top 5 album and a top ten single in early 1974, then a UK top 2 album in late...

  3. Were all four members really equal and essential?

    I think Freddie and Brian together would have found success in a band together without the other two. Musically at least. Roger brought that wonderful backing and harmony vocal plus the right sort of personality, the...

  4. What would you do if.....

    Spend the first hour chatting about music, the next 55 minutes getting him to record some songs I'd written and the last five minutes arranging an auction! Actually maybe I'd just spend the whole two hours talking to...

  5. Songs preferred live, or in the studio?

    I adored the live version of In The Lap Of The Gods Revisited, particularly the Wembley version. Such power! I actually prefer this to the studio recording though admittedly I heard the studio version for the first ti...

  6. Queen live setlist 1989-1991?? Just for fun.

    I remember at the time hearing reports they were to play some one off gig, possibly Knebworth. Nordoff Robbins comes to mind actually.

  8. Queen live setlist 1989-1991?? Just for fun.

    Apologies if this idea has been posted before. I feel there's a good chance it has but I couldn't find it. I wondered had Freddie not become ill and Queen had continued to tour what sort of set list you think the band...

  9. 2015 Release

    matt z wrote: I'd be easily satisfied with an expanded INNUENDO release as they should have done. One original mix. One remastered/remixed (it's a pity they've almost retired the 5.1 format) B- sides plus extended edi...

  10. Freddie's best album, vocally?

    Chief Mouse wrote: To me he sounds thin in The Hitman, Headlong and These Are The Days Of Our Lives. Agreed. It's the whole album really. Others might call it something different to "thin" but there is something very...

  11. Freddie's best album, vocally?

  12. Freddie's best album, vocally?

    I'm amazed at how many people love the vocals on Innuendo as you can clearly hear the illness beginning to take its toll on his vocals. His range and power were superb of course but for me his tone was a little thin i...

  13. Could Hot Space be redone in a more traditional Queen style?

  14. Could Hot Space be redone in a more traditional Queen style?

    MercurialFreddie wrote: Days of Our Lives Docu (2011) showed that Hot Space was a time when there was a rupture in the band. Roger stated that Paul Prenter pressured everyone into making a music which you'd heard in a...

  15. Could Hot Space be redone in a more traditional Queen style?

    For me it's all about the singalong factor. Do I ever find myself singing a particular song to myself. I've found myself singing Dancer, Body Language, Pressure, (which was mortifying once my wife overheard me), and e...

  16. Could Hot Space be redone in a more traditional Queen style?

    Ok, Hot Space was a stylistic departure from the type of music Queen were known for and as a result it didn't sell as well as it might have been expected to. But is that the only reason or are the songs just not as go...

  17. Wishing AKOM was never made

  18. Wishing AKOM was never made

    I have a real fondness for the AKOM album. I was 14 when it came out and it was the album that got me into Queen. What you have to remember is that like most Queen albums it reflected the kind of music that was popula...

  19. What is your favourite Queen song to play...

    Save Me. Every time.

  20. Ten years ago today...

    I saw Queen and Paul Rodgers in Belfast at the end of this tour (2nd last gig). I was completely sceptical about it and decided not to buy a ticket as I hadn't been impressed by the bits and pieces I'd seen them do on...
