Poll: Have you been to a live concert of Queen...
I have been to all three versions of Queen and although the original front man, Freddy Mercury, has no equal, the Adam Lambert version is a better mix than Paul Rodgers.

Your first Queen bootleg
Mine was a 2 album package called "Queen Live" and it had the Hammersmith 75 concert and an earlier one that was from the Killer Queen tour. This was around 1977 and I remember how I loved Brians guitar solo on "Brigh...

Guitar Orchestra section in All Dead, All Dead
One of my favorite guitar orchestrations by Brian May is the middle section of "All Dead, All Dead." How many guitar overdubs do you think it contains?

Why is no one else doing any studio wizardry anymore?
When I started this thread, I was not suggesting that the music of today is bad or inferior. I like a lot of the music of today. And I don't know wnyone who thinks 1979 was the end of good music. In fact a lot of crap...

Album reviews

Why is no one else doing any studio wizardry anymore?
I agree that rap, hip-hop and the like takes much less effort in the studio. Most of those genre is loops, samples and other auto-repetitive functions. I know a few in the recording business and they have told me that...

website insulting freddie!!!
This is just typical right wing Christian beliefs. I was in such a group (Jehovahs Witnesses) for ten years and folks like this love to flaunt their "I'm right and you're wrong" statements. I am glad I had the sense t...

Why is no one else doing any studio wizardry anymore?
Back in the 70's you had bands like Queen, Boston, Rush, etc that put out some very elaborate studio work which I have enjoyed very much. Now here we are in the 21st century and the studio technology has advanced by l...

Queen have turned into a joke!
Well I can attest that Queen is not a joke. I attended their show here in San Jose, California on Wednesday, 04/05/06 and I was amazed how well it sounded. While it is true that Paul Rodgers is not Freddie Mercury, he...

The Kleptones question
Do the the karaoke versions feature Queens actual instrumentals versions. These songs are not replayed versions of Queens music, but the actual music tracks themselves.

The Kleptones question
I recently downloaded the Kleptones "A Night at the Hip Hopera" and after listening to it I am puzzled and intrigued. On virtually all of the tracks, they seem to working with the masters of the songs. They...

1978 CONCERT A FAKE?
Back in 1978 I taped a Queen concert from the then KZEW 98.5 FM on my reel to reel machine. It was quite a good sound and after listening to it a few times I noticed that there had been some overdubbing added. The son...
