  1. Roger Taylor - Journey's End

    Very different, very Dark Star Bowie. Not too sure on all the walking about though and thought the dancing in the middle went on far too long. Song itself, hmmmmm, its ok, just wish Rog wouldn't try to keep rhyming ev...

  2. Magic Tour - profits from tickets only

    The list only lists 1 x Wembley gig, there were of course 2, both sold out

  3. BBC session 3 - Ogre Battle (2017 version)

    Guys, many, many thanks for this. Ignore the homophobic fuckwit. I think Brian felt something went wrong on the 1st take, stopped the tape, and then just went at it again. Can you hear a voice at around 36 secs? Is it...

  4. Meeting Freddie !

    Best Queenzone thread for an age. Fabulous photos. Thank you. Actually not convinced on the OP, but the pics are just great

  5. Queen on Radio

    Spend most my life living on Blackberry Hills, or playing pool in the Marsden Inn :)

  6. Queen on Radio

    To be fair to the flashing blade, i've heard him interview Brian a couple of times. I also met him a couple of times, most notably at Marsden Grotto on a halloween special. Sorry to everyone who has no fecking idea wh...

  7. Live on James Corden Late Late Show in USA

  8. 23rd December and no mention of....

    It gets regular play on UK radio this time of year. Not their finest moment considering such a successful year with The Works and the 4 singles all going Top 10. I think it was rushed as for some reason 1984 seemed to...

  9. Roger Taylor being "influenced" by Mitch Mitchell ...

    I'd rather hear something different from Brian than a variation in the drum solo. I've never really been a big fan of Lost Horizon, and to add that onto what is already a fairly repetitive guitar solo is a bit painful...

  10. Roger Taylor being "influenced" by Mitch Mitchell ...

    And? You are correct, the similarities are striking. It may be a tribute, RT states Mitchell has always been an influence and he still listens to the Hendrix stuff. Mitch Mitchell in 1969 was 23 years old. I wouldn't...

  11. First ever concert and what number was (were) Queen

    Last concert was 15th December 2016, The Wildhearts at Newcastle Riverside. I've never seen The Wildhearts mentioned here, they are totally awesome. Ginger Wildheart is a completely prolific writer and its pretty crim...

  12. First ever concert and what number was (were) Queen

    Gary Numan, Newcastle City Hall, 1979. 2nd, Shaking Stevens, front row, same venue, 1982, 3rd, Queen, 31st August Birmingham NEC 1984. Then saw Queen at St James, and Knebworth in '86.

  13. Freddie's mum Jer is gone

    Such sad news. The lady had such an infectious personality in all the interviews that I've seen. Truly a sad day RIP Jer Bulsara.

  14. Anyone remember John requesting TOTDOOL on MTV?

    What I thought was an interesting question turns into a game of my bollocks are bigger than yours. Guys, marbles in a bin bag do not constitute as big bollocks.

  15. Anyone remember John requesting TOTDOOL on MTV?

    It happened, no doubt in my mind, I remember it well, unless they at MTV blagged it. There was no new single, this was 92 or 93, nothing new happening.

  16. Anyone remember John requesting TOTDOOL on MTV?

    Many years ago, and I have this on video somewhere, MTV or perhaps VH1 had a Queen day. This may have been the anniversary of Freddie's death or his birthday, it was a long time ago. Anyway, the entire day was a tribu...

  17. Elvis Costello on Queen

    Typical Costello 80's nonsense:- http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Melody_Maker,_October_31,_1981 Read stuff on the right from the Melody Maker. For those who can't be arsed with the utterance of someone so...

  18. Elvis Costello on Queen

    He also said in an interview in the 80's that all Queen fan's should be buried in a big hole. Don't forget he was supposedly part of the punk movement, big on controversial statements, pretty crap on quality music. An...

  19. Songs you wished they played live?

    I always thought if they had toured The Miracle, the beat of Breakthru building up, then a train coming through the curtain of the stage, the front of the train drops open and the band run out and do the song. It woul...

  20. Who is Paul Gambacinni? And why Queen?

    I started a similar thread a year ago:- http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1435144/paul-gambaccini.aspx I never understood his insistence they seemed such good friends.
