Are Queen One of the Greatest Music Artists of all time?
Rankings and lists like that are pretty pointless. People in Europe for example will not know any Rush - Song nor the name of any album. Polls like that may show how active the fan bases of certain bands are - but tha...

De Lane Lea demo's...'In The Beginning' vs '2011 remaster'
And if all Trident multitracks from 'Queen' sessions still exist, there must be all De Lane Lea multitracks also exist 'cuase they were partially used for the album. If it's so, why not to remix them again... <<<<<<<<...

Queen 1 - Remaster Review
They were talking about the sound of the drums - not about timing or playing mistakes.

Freddie Mercury vs. Michael Jackson
on my way up wrote: Actually, Michael excelled at singing and dancing like few others have done. Go to youtube and watch Yokohama'87, for example Billie Jean, and try not to be stunned.... If you still think he was "j...

are Queen a ROCK band?
They are Queen. Nuff said. Master Marathon Runner <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Exactly!

Freddie Mercury vs. Michael Jackson
I think it's pretty pointless to compare these two. The only thing they have in common is, that both are no longer with us. Apart from that Mercury was a singer, Jackson was a dancer who didn't sing live on stage........

(untitled)
You should never forget, that the concerts were also about the show. And a show with the size of the Magic Tour stage demands a lot more of energy for running around than maybe a club concert. Also the hearing is diff...

Generation Gaps
@ Grateful Fan I fully agree with you. There is no reason to like everything a band or an artist produces. That's not my point at all. But I watch people complaining all the time "how could they do this...how could th...

Generation Gaps
Very interesting topic with lots of good points! I'm definitely generation 1 having heard "Keep yourself alive" when it was "Powerplay" on Radio Luxembourg on medium wave. I was totally into the "Sweet" by then and wa...

Teo Torriate HD Mix?
The Hollywood "Classic Queen" has a different mix of "Under Pressure". The sound is clearer and one of Freddie's ad libs is missing. All the hits have been remixed for the surround DVD versions. Also the Japanese kara...

Queen I vs Led Zep I
You cannot compare these albums at all. Cause their impact or it's failure has a lot to do with the time when they were released. When Led Zeppelin started in 1969 their were pioneers of hard rock. And they were an ab...

Queen 2 Remaster review
Negative Creep wrote: Wishful thinking? I haven't said they've remixed everything anywhere. They really have no need to book a studio to remix anything either. Roger has his own home studio (perhaps Brian too) and it'...

Queen 1 - Remaster Review
As these are remasters and not remixes they could not improve the drum Sound. Especially the drum sound on Queen 1 is something, that even Taylor and May dislike. in a recent interview for german radio they said, that...

The Seven Seas Of Rhye (Instrumental)
Studio pianos are always tuned correctly to avoid any tuning problems with other instruments. Also I guess that it was recorded in the same studio as the rest of "Queen 2" using the same piano. It's something that hap...

BBC Recordings
I used Audacity to adjust the speed to try to match it to album version of MFK and and I still find it a difference performance, even with timing similarities now accounted for. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<...

The Seven Seas Of Rhye (Instrumental)
As the song was obviously recorded using a tuned piano - and those are always tuned to A= 440 Hz - the instrumental track is the first one playing correct. Easy to find out as you can play along with a tuned instrumen...

New Releases and March of the Black Queen Surprise
Sad to hear that they did not create a real convincing ending to "March of the Black Queen". That makes this release completely unimportant for collectors. The clean ending of "Ogre Battle" is not that exciting. It wa...

BBC Recordings
And judging by my own study of the BBC tracks, more were original recordings than one or two per session. As noted in my list, the only tracks to re-use material were Session 2's KYA and Liar, Session 4's entire "Blac...
