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

    soxtalon wrote: I'm betting on a It's Late/Get Down Make Love medley - kind of like the BBC but instead it'll finish with GDML rather than go back to It's Late. I hope not - the last verse and chorus of It's Late are...

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

    https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/entertainment/freddie-mercurys-band-mates-reveal-went-queens-1985-auckland-concert Brian - 'We're putting some new stuff together this time, it's unusual for us to break down the set as...

  4. Brian May exclusive interview: Queen, debauchery and Freddie Mercury.

    To be well-rounded, here's Brian's very unhappy response with the way this article was written. I haven't actually read the article, but he seems to think he was well misrepresented. From his Instagram: "Look at this...

  5. Brian's Albert Hall gig 1998 FILMING

  6. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (Through The Years)

  7. Brian interview circa Another World

    He definitely seems to have come around to musical theatre, considering We Will Rock You and the Kerry collab. As for his philosophy on the band - he seemed fairly committed to not using the Queen name, but he also ou...

  8. Brian interview circa Another World

    Some really interesting quotes from a 1998 interview which elucidate where Brian was at at the time. It was a very different place to where he is now... On his and Anita's differing tastes: "...we don't like the same...

  9. New Hot Space unknown track?

    Thing is, if they didn't release it, they probably thought it was shit. It's an understandable urge as fans to want to have a more complete knowledge of the artist's work. But the fact is that any unreleased stuff whi...

  10. Mustapha live

    Yeah, pretty standard live practice when the singer has to come in without instrumental backing. Even if one has a very good memory for pitch, it's easy to forget/to still be 'in' the key of the previous song, in the...

  11. Misfire

    Yeah, the change in guitar tone is pretty distinct when Brian's guitar comes in during the outro. I'm of the understanding that everything prior to that is John.

  12. Brian and Kerry announce new album

    Brian had good taste & artistic sense once. What happened? Perhaps Freddie & his graphic design sensibility helped keep the group on track in terms of visual presentation, back in the day. Still, I guess Queen had one...

  13. Q&AL on "The Late Late Show with James Cordon " NEXT Friday 3rd February

    matt z wrote: ...or was it the same mess from that chipmunk live version of SAVE ME? Pretty sure the chipmunk effect on the Hammersmith version of Save Me is in fact the octaver that Freddie was using in the middle se...

  14. Which "deep cuts" do you want on this new tour?

    dysan wrote: Facebook are asking what people's favourite Brian sung song is. Maybe a clue? Might get Long Away on this tour. Maybe, but I doubt the social media people are that in the loop. As beautiful as All Dead is...

  15. Body language, sweet lady and white man, the 3 worst queen songs

    dysan wrote: I can see the problem with Dear Friends. A bit sickly, but again, I can live with that. Not a huge fan of Dear Friends. Doesn't feel like it goes anywhere, compared with the intense highs & lows of Lily o...

  16. Question about Jazz Album

    Freddie & Brian both wrote some really clever vocal harmonies ("beware the storm that gathers here" in Prophet's Song intro is another neat, slightly unexpected one that comes to mind). In many of the same instances,...

  17. Heaviest Queen song?

    cmi wrote: What about "White Man"...? Comparing White Man to the Prophet's Song, I find White Man is quite a bit weaker in melodic content. There's nothing in White Man that comes close to the strength of the "oh, peo...

  18. Interesting 'My Melancholy Blues' Review

    Anecdote in the comments from a man named Anthony: "I caught [Queen] at Stafford Bingley Hall in May ’78. Freddie introduced it thus: ‘This is a song I wrote for Ella Fitzgerald when she popped ’round for tea the othe...

  19. Question about Jazz Album

  20. Question about Jazz Album

    I struggle to like Sheer Heart Attack hugely just because it's so un-Queen. Modern Times Rock and Roll is in a similar vein, but there's much more melody to it, and there's much more Queen-esque, richer sounding vocal...
