Another Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert?
Sebastian - please tell me you were having us on! Contemporary artists destroying Queen classics? That's scarilege to the hilt! Apparently Lady Ga Ga calls Freddie her greatest inspiration - tchah! Right! Modern music...

Tired of Queen?
Never! Actually, in all honesty, Wayne's World kicked me off on the road, and first couple of times I listened to Bo Rhap I couldn't believe a song could be so glorious and tremendous! Seriously, I went through a phas...

The best / worst LP side
The worst side for me has to be Side B of The Game - despite the fact I have that album on CD, I still can see a 'side-y' aspect to it (if such a word exists). The Game is the real low point for the band anyway (like...

Smile tracks
Good to see that the Smile tracks are being discussed. I made a bootleg CD of them in the order on the Japan LP Gettin' Smile, and named the CD the same - it's basically a home-made reissue! My copies of Earth, Blag a...

What do you waiting this year?
GinjaNinja - Thanks for the insight! I thought it might have been a long-lost snippet of home-demo version of Vagabound Outcast - which, when you think about it, sounds likely, considering it was apparently Freddie's...

What do you waiting this year?
Personally I'm on tenterhooks about more Ibex/Wreckage stuff. I enjoy Green off Rareties 3 - the ninth disc in the Freddie box released in 2000 - and I heard rumours about alternate versions of this tune existing as w...

If Queen were to tour in support of The Miracle...
marcw10 - Very impressive! I see your sense in putting Party on a tape to open the concert - since that and Khashoggi's Ship open The Miracle album it would be ideal. Just an extra thought - since Freddie had done two...

Queen Deep Cuts
Why release it? OK, it's a different release than the constant greatest hits, but true fans will easily have the album tracks about three times over already. But we desperately need a Queen revival - where's the new c...

Diversity of genres
Queen have always been known among die hard fans on here as masters of diversity, plunging into any style that takes their fancy. For example, the gospel style of Somebody to Love, or the prog rock of Prophet's Song....

songs you always skip.
A very good topic, and I must admit, there are a fair few I skip. A Night At The Opera is the best Queen album and the best rock album ever made, but I've never really been able to stomach Good Company. Very good song...

Underplayed songs
I was skimming through the 'most overplayed Queen songs' thread and I thought I'd flip it. This 'underplayed' idea may already exist, but here's my list of most underplayed Queen songs (or more specifically, songs tha...

Bonus tracks on other Reissued albums
Knowing Queen Productions' activity over the last decade, the bonuses for NotW will be WWRY Fast (Montreal) and WATC (a capella mix 2011), and Jazz it'll be live performances of Fat-Bottomed Girls and Bicycle. A live...

What can we expect on the RE-ISSUES?
RonB - I burst out laughing when I read your post concerning what the reissues might be. Seriously, I was on the floor crying with mirth. A REMASTERED PLATINUM COLLECTION? Give me a break. Although, considering how lo...

If Queen were to tour in support of The Miracle...
You have no idea how much my brain was buzzing when I read this. It is a horrible shame that none of the Miracle and Innuendo songs were never done live (with Freddie anyway) so this is extremely interesting. As for t...

Valuable demos
I was just in my 'ultimate boxset' frame of mind and trawling through the sessiongraphy at Queenpedia.com and I'm sure a lot of you who have skimmed through it have noticed that some common bootleg stuff (Silver Salmo...

Home-made compilations
Pim Derks - I wasn't entirely clear. I meant constant greatest hits compilations. You'll notice my list has a few album tracks. Now hopefully you might get the point. Also check the initial post, since it said might p...

Home-made compilations
Every die-hard fan is as sick as hell of the constant compilations by QPL - it's the same old stuff, over and over... etc. So I propose an idea which I think will appeal all the fans on Queenzone. An exclusive 14-trac...

Queen for Christmas Number 1 - 2011!
I'm all for getting Queen to #1! Manufactured teen pop has dominated this generation for far too long! It would be cool to get a Queen song to the top on 20th November and get it to reign six weeks so it gets Xmas no....

Guest appearances on records
leto - It's unknown whether Freddie actually does backing vocals on Killing Time or not, it's just a rumour going around since Strange Frontier came out in '84. It wouldn't surprise if he did, though. It is said to so...

Guest appearances on records
A brief question that occured to me while skimming through The Solo Collection, behemoth that it is: Has any member guested on another's solo effort? Here's what I came up with and I hope I can get the ball rolling fo...
