  1. It's Late... rubbish?

    It's Late was, is, and will always be a monster. Circus Magazine called it "the most moving three chord wonder since The Who", and said that Freddie sang it "like a mighty tree falling." Queen at the peak of their roc...

  2. Did smoking affect Roger's singing voice over the years?

    Since stupidity reigns in this thread, Roger Taylor is a fantastic singer. Could he sing with the 3 Tenors? No. Could he sing Drowse with more emotion, believability and bittersweetness than any of the 3 Tenors? Of co...

  3. Phenomonal bass

    "Indeed, and that's partly why more often than not, the creator of the song wrote all parts for all instruments and vocals." [/QUOTE]No way Sebastian. Too many suppositions here to be calling a statement like that fac...

  4. Is a night of the opera that great?

    At least the vocals are good?!!! Mike, Sweet Lady is up there with Brighton Rock as arguably Queen's best rock performance. Brian's guitar is phenomenal, and the Taylor/Deacon rhythm section is fantastic, especially i...

  5. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Queen

    The same moral fibre that Queen had while playing Sun City, or getting into bed with The Sun for the WWRY musical?

  6. Phenomonal bass

    I don't disagree entirely, Sebastian, but I can't accept it when you call it "fact" that Queen's writers wrote most parts for their own songs. Every song is different, some came in completely finished, others were in...

  7. Phenomonal bass

    A guy like Rod Stewart can strum an acoustic guitar, and that's about all for his musicality, yet he wrote a lot of songs. Phil Collins couldn't play horns, yet when he had the horn section for his second solo album o...

  8. Phenomonal bass

    Negative Creep wrote: Sebastian wrote: More often than not, the creator of the song composed all parts for all instruments. Highly unlikely. Scratch that - completely unfounded and absolute tosh. agreed

  9. Star Licks, The Brian May master Session

    Yeah, it was hand written also for the TAB, very weird, looks like they threw it together in about 20 minutes.

  10. I've been meaning to ask how is there The Who without Keith or John?

    "Maybe next time you should try reading what I write and taking it with a grain of salt instead of jumping on the defensive. The only serious writing I do is in my failed books." And that would make you light years ah...

  11. I've been meaning to ask how is there The Who without Keith or John?

    Absolutely my opinion Lester. I'm not going to debate mine, yours or anyone elses opinion on whether TCR is phenomenal/middling/pure shit. We believe what we believe. However, as I've always respected your insights an...

  12. I've been meaning to ask how is there The Who without Keith or John?

    But it's the chicken and the egg, Wiley. Queen are arguably among the top 5 bands of all time in the world, probably second only to the Beatles in popularity in all areas other than North America. The record industry...

  13. Queen in Toronto?

    They did 1 night on the Day at the Races and News tours at Maple Leaf Gardens, two on the Jazz and Jot Space tours, and for The Game tour, they did indeed play at Exhibition Stadium. I bought $10 scalpers for $30 and...

  14. Rolling Stone feature on Queen (that's positive!)

    I agree with Michael, however, there has been no balance historically in RS's attempts to review Queen's music or performances. I recall one item in the 80s after Queen played Sun City, and the lead was "God works in...

  15. Rolling Stone Magazine's Reveiw of The Cosmos Rocks

    After his post on the positive RS piece today, somewhere in Texas, Microwave is crushed by the news that no one gives a rats ass about Paul Rodgers fronting Queen.

  16. The Comos Rocks - My two cents

  17. The Comos Rocks - My two cents

    Actually, Arnaldo, I love Fun in Space. For my money, that and Barcelona are the best Queen solo stuff by miles. Laugh or Cry, Let's get crazy, My Country, Good times are now and Magic is loose are all personal favour...

  18. The Comos Rocks - My two cents

    Fairly accurate impression by Louvox, and just think, he's a fan! I heard TCR the other night, and as a Queen fan since '75 and a person who believes their best works were the best thing rock music had to offer, I was...

  19. Who has been the greatest live act ever?

    IMHO, Queen, but 70s Queen up to the Jazz tour. When they were a four part rock band and the set was filled with rockers like It's Late, Jailhouse Rock, SHA, Ogre Battle, Lia, TYMD and WWRY fast version, they fucking...

  20. I've been meaning to ask how is there Queen without Freddie Mercury?

    Opera 39 said: "I disagree completely with those who say this is not Queen anymore." That is well within your rights. Much as many, many people here disagree with those who say it Queen. "That's like saying a family i...
