  1. New Remasters review...

    Why so negative? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @joesilvey I do not think that I'm negative at all, but I'm critical. And over the years I have learned how cynical the music business is. And what makes me angry is th...

  2. The Wedding March... first cover by Queen

    That's a load of rubbish. You may interpret a song in a different way but you still cover it. That's why it's called a cover version. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Your insult only shows that you are no...

  4. Best & Worst Queen Music Videos

    "Calling all Girls" for me is the worst video taking away any magic of the band and let them look like some amateur musicians. I'd like to defend the "Innuendo" video. I think they couldn't do a real one due to Freddi...

  5. Which album do you never/rarely listen to?

    I never play "Flash Gordon", I never really liked the movie and the album is just a soundtrack. It's a good production for sure, I like "The Hero" but the album somehow gives me nothing. The other official Queen album...

  6. The Wedding March... first cover by Queen

    I think this is one of those cases where a further word is needed. "Coverversion" doesn't really cover all possibilities. In case of "Queen" recording a former "Smile" song it's not a cover but a re-recording. See the...

  7. News Of The World remastered 2011

    They have really worked on "It's late". The track is EQed slightly sharper than on previous versions like "Queen Rocks" or the "Hollywood "News of the World". But most noticible they have cleaned the intro. All earlie...

  8. Jazz Remaster - Review

    Even the drum sound is acceptable now. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Wow!!! That means your stereo system is able to remix tracks....;-)

  9. Potentially stupid remasters question.

    Basically the differences aren't that great between all the different editions. If you play them on a standard or a simple stereo set most people will not be able to tell the difference. So most of the difference is t...

  10. Jazz Remaster - Review

    Rick wrote: "as we have final and better takes of both songs" - I'm really interested in what you expected to be included instead of rare demos/alternate takes/whatever. Of course these versions are essential for Quee...

  11. Jazz Remaster - Review

    Finally we have got something completely new and still there are 'fans' who moan. Sad. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< In case you mean me I am not moaning. I said these tracks are interesting but not e...

  12. Jazz Remaster - Review

    Not Essential? Fuck me, THEY are the most interesting tracks on this album! Arse. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Some people's garbage is other people's gold. But I would not insult you for loving a poo...

  13. Views on how badly EMI promoted Queen+Paul Rodgers The Comos Rocks???

    EMI had little to do with that album except distributing it. It always depends on the deal how much a record company invests in the promotion. Why did the album go down? I think it was too british, the single "C-lebri...

  14. Which 2nd Batch Of Remasters To Get First ?

    Buy "News of the World", it's the only CD with 5 interesting extra tracks that have not been available (also in this quality) before. "The Game" just has 4 Minutes of "new" material in form of two outtakes that you ma...

  15. Jazz Remaster - Review

    "News of the World" always sounded great. And it should not be forgotten, that these "remasters" shall basically replace the EMI versions in the shops. For me it's only interesting whether these remasters should repla...

  16. Jazz Remaster - Review

    "Jazz" is the album besides "Queen 2" that I was most curious about, because both albums never really sounded right to my ears. Especially the drum sound on most "Jazz"-tracks is very strange and thin compared to most...

  17. Jealousy Kick Drum - Mistake on 2011 Remaster?!?

    I haven't heard it so far, but the answer may be found in the rules of the vinyl age. Those who have "Jazz" in vinyl form can even see in "Mustapha" that the groove needs more space during the louder stereo parts. Sam...

  18. News Of The World (questions)

    There is a lot of misinformation about the BBC Sessions of Queen. As it was common practice that bands gave remixes and outtakes to the BBC I still don't believe that neither "It's late" nor "We will rock you"(slow/fa...

  19. GT interview at QOL; questions

    Pink Floyd have announced a lot over the years that in the end didn't happen due to whatever reason. Compared to Queen their extra output in form of archive releases or concerts so far is "ridiculous". Same goes for G...

  20. GT interview at QOL; questions

    You're right - when compared to some artists such as Pink Floyd, Genesis, Rush, ron Maiden, AC/DC etc.., what Queen regard as a 'special edition', or 'rarities', is really a disgrace <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<...
