  1. We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions (Raw Takes)

    Complaints are misplaced I think. This is the best QP is going to give - they've made clear that they're not big on releasing imperfect stuff. And realistically, it contains only a little bit less than the recent Sgt...

  2. We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions (Raw Takes)

    You hear some songs so much that you lose appreciation for how amazingly put together they are. I rarely even think about We are the Champions cos it's so overexposed... But hearing it a little different like this jus...

  3. John??

    The Fairy King wrote: Always got the idea John and Brian didn't get along. Dunno why...just a feeling. :D Perhaps not, but there was mutual respect at least, I'd think. Brian always used the Deaky amp in studio, and h...

  4. John??

    Very disappointing and immature if true. Brian and Roger are gregarious people, but they (and Queen fans) should be able to understand that it's perfectly normal for some people, especially 70 year olds, to prefer to...

  5. John??

  8. News Of The World 40th Anniversary Box Set - ITS OFFICIAL!

    Really hoping the Sgt. Pepper release has finally convinced Brian and Roger that people want to hear this stuff - took long enough if so, most of their contemporaries have been doing it for years. Better late than nev...

  9. Things in songs you recently discovered

    Not really recently, but hearing c_matt's mix of Nevermore a couple years ago was quite revealing - Brian plays arpeggiated eighth notes on electric guitar in the climactic section, which are virtually inaudible in th...

  10. Lead vocals on Sheer Heart Attack (song)

    Penetration_Guru wrote: Do we know how much it was sped up by? 20%? Just by a semitone - I think that's the prevailing theory at the moment anyway.

  11. News Of The World material in the new Q+AL set

    dysan wrote: I think they like to keep it top 10 in the red belt Fair, and this makes more sense than them dropping the songs despite already having done all the hard work in rehearsing them. Surely it's not a general...

  12. News Of The World material in the new Q+AL set

    Both Spread Your Wings and It's Late were dropped for the Kansas City set, and the prior one omitted Spread Your Wings. Doesn't look promising https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p480x480/19989782_1015481717...

  13. News Of The World material in the new Q+AL set

    For sure. He deserves props nonetheless, especially considering he's belting the high harmony at the same time.

  14. News Of The World material in the new Q+AL set

    Spread Your Wings seems pretty flawless. Feels a bit wrong without John, but I think it's lovely that one of his compositions other than Bites the Dust and Break Free is getting a bit of spotlight.

  15. News Of The World material in the new Q+AL set

    It's Late sounds pretty good. My only criticisms would be that Adam can't quite seem to get the vocal rhythm right at times - he seems to sing much too rigidly on the beat and misses the syncopations in Freddie's deli...

  16. News Of The World material in the new Q+AL set

    There's something to be said for the fact that Brian and Roger still sing vocal harmonies - Rog especially is always very clear in the blend. Most groups wouldn't have the core members forming the basis of the vocal h...

  17. New material in Q+AL set, according to Bri & Rog

    Fantastic to hear of all the new additions - I may even end up seeing them in Sydney now. In a broader sense, it seems like Bri and Rog have become much more comfortable championing material beyond the obvious hits. P...

  18. Full setlist for Phoenix show (23 June 2017)

    Fuck yeah. Theyve well and truly exceeded expectations this time - a welcome change.

  19. Bombarded with QZ emails

    Just noticed there's an additional 200 or so in my spam box, also involving long dormant threads.

  20. Bombarded with QZ emails

    I just received 175 emails from QueenZone in the space of about 2 minutes, telling me that there had been new replies from mattz and Kurgan in a thread I'm apparently subscribed to. I looked and the last post there wa...
