  1. How many gigs were 'pro' recorded ?

    That's a real crime perfectionists such as Queen would not record their shows at soundboard.

  2. Songs you wished they played live?

  3. Why doesn't every Queen live album sound as great as Rock Montreal?

  4. Why doesn't every Queen live album sound as great as Rock Montreal?

    I personally think that the RM lacks energy from performance standpoint as the audience participation is flat. However, drums and guitar work comes through loud and clear. I wish they mixed their albums like that. Man...

  5. Hot Space - a little gem

  6. Songs you wished they played live?

    Nevermore

  7. Hot Space - a little gem

    I watched a documentary on "Twisted Sister" on Netflix yesterday and I really wonder as to 'why' Queen would do a disco album? What does Twisted Sister have to do with it? Well, there was much backlash against disco i...

  10. Hot Space - a little gem

    [/QUOTE] I didn't "visit Milton Keynes that day" - my claim was based on the Roger interview backstage (from the original tube broadcast) where 'I want candy' can be clearly heard, in the background and of course it w...

  11. Hot Space - a little gem

    Perhaps they were just tired of churning rock and decided to go with the times, transitioning to what eventually became pop. It seems Hot Space was the shock treatment that shook fans' confidence. Pure rock following...

  12. Brian's Basement

    Rich peoples problems. Brian could by a caravan and live in the field with badgers. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3585096/Brian-claims-forced-home-selfish-neighbours-turned-exclusive-London-street-hellhole-b...

  13. Death on Two Legs: A Financial Perspective

    Royalties to the artist(s) are usually 5%-10% of the album sale price. Top notch artists, Queen at its peak, can count up to 15%. At least that was an industry standard back in the 1980s-2000s. Maybe things have chang...

  14. Good Ole Brooksy

    I suppose everyone wants to vent their frustration due to a lack of goodies being released from the Archives. I will not join the queue. Things could be better, however.

  15. A Fan's Property, Lost by Greg Brooks in the Last Century, circa 1999

    Since we have a person of authority here at last, I have only one question: Are UFOs real? Cheers!

  16. The one song meaning nobody has discussed before...

    A self-fulfilling prophecy that proves Freddie was a reptilian and could see into the future.

  17. Songs You Think Freddie Could Have Sung

    Queen should have done a Christmas Carols album. That would have been awesome.

  18. The Oral History Of The 'Wayne's World' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' Scene
