Queen was about being innovative..........
Beautiful post, AmeriQueen. Thank you.

Is the tour that disasterous?!!
Let's not forget that we're talking here about Jacksonville. A minor market, probably the smallest city on the Queen tour. And in the deep South, where Lynyrd Skynyrd, country music and the Dixie Chicks rule. There is...

Almighty Bo Rhap!
Bo Rhap was a major attention-getter. So without Bo Rhap, it would have been easier to ignore (or have limited interest in) future material from Queen.

Were Queen ever cool?
piano4te, are you my twin brother, or what?!? I'm a trained pianist who was very moved by the creativity and quality of the Beatles' music in the 1960's, and by the late 1970's I had become consumed by the quality of...

Anyone else feel screwed over?
Maybe, just maybe, Queen has looked at regional sales numbers and has discovered that they don't have much of a fan base in Texas and that Texas instead is hooked on the Dixie Chicks and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Make the trip...

Were Queen ever cool?
How do you define "cool"? I can't imagine that you would want Queen to look or act like Mick Jagger or Keith Richard (really coarse) or to be like Paul McCartney (almost prissy). Each member of Queen is cool in his ow...

Were Queen ever cool?
I have to say I like the bold typeface. How do you do that?

Anybody seen this???
Sheer Pressure, thank you for posting the link to the video. It is wonderful, yet somewhat painful, to see the boys all dressed up, yet professionally finished as a group. And humorous to observe that once again John...

The Miracle
Asterik, that was a great review. Even the most articulate critics couldn't have said it better.

POPE BENDICT SPEAKS OUT AGAINST ROCK AND CITES QUEEN AS EXAMPLES
Fireplace, I have to agree that AIDS is a particularly difficult issue. While the Catholic church teaches sexual abstinence outside of marriage, most cultures find that too difficult, onerous, and restrictive. And yes...

POPE BENDICT SPEAKS OUT AGAINST ROCK AND CITES QUEEN AS EXAMPLES
Ahh, Fireplace, where to start... Yes, the AIDS pandemic, poverty, ignorance, prejudice, human rights abuses, political aggression, disease, social unrest, terrorism, nuclear weapons, etc., are all worthy of the pope'...

POPE BENDICT SPEAKS OUT AGAINST ROCK AND CITES QUEEN AS EXAMPLES
Fortunately there are several people on this board who understand the pope's value to the world. Yet unfortunately, I remain deeply disappointed with the majority. Near the bottom of the first page on this topic, I po...

This time 30 years ago..
There are advantages to being an old fart. I'm the same age as Brian May and was fortunate to see the Beatles, Queen and Led Zeppelin. Saw the Beatles in 1965 at Shea Stadium. Saw Queen in Chicago in 1980 and 1982, an...

POPE BENDICT SPEAKS OUT AGAINST ROCK AND CITES QUEEN AS EXAMPLES
The comment was made by the pope when he was Cardinal Ratzinger, and was made many years ago. He was doing his job, merely pointing out some of the evil influences in rock & roll. And let's face it, a few of Queen's s...

What do you think of the new Queen t-shirts?
I like the shirts, but am I the only one who thinks they're overpriced?

Guitar Surgery
It looks to me like this overhaul on the Red Special was WAY overdue. Based on the condition of some of those parts, it's a miracle it didn't malfunction. Brian is awesome, especially in sharing that with us now. Viva...
