Greatest Hits II / Greatest Flix II
They were...on October 31st 1991,exactly ten years(to the day) after the release of the first Greatest Hits.They were originally planned for 1990,but made way for the new album Innuendo,and the fact that The Miracle w...

Sir Brian May?
Surely it is time to Knight the doctor,with his charity and animal work,his brilliant guitar playing and being such an inspiration? There again,Jimmy Saville was knighted,so perhaps it means nothing to many people the...

Vanilla Ice Owns "Under Pressure"
...er he doesn't own it,he owns the rights to any future broadcast royalties of Ice Ice Baby or whatever it is called,so that he doesn't have to pay for Under Pressure.Simple,really..............

All these years later, do the NME still hate Queen?
The NME is,and has always been,basically crap.Freddie told them so(can you imagine saying that today?)and for those who were actually around the reviews were pretty scathing.They really went to town in the eighties,wi...

Guys, Brian May just died
Very funny....but John worked with Brian in 1997,so you must have your dates mixed up..? I have been 'away' for a bit,I thought Dr May was campaigning to prevent the spreading(or culling?) of this Government or someth...

Brian May mentions "Made in Heaven 2" being worked on
For those of you old enough to remember....The Miracle sessions produced so many tracks that there was a proposal for a 'Alternative Miracle' LP.This idea was shelved to make way for 'Greatest Hits 2',which was initia...

No Freddie....No Queen.Simple!

Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson duets to be released this autumn
Should be fantastic from the two greatest performers in history....the only problem being they were unfinished demo's way back then.'More to life' is actually a fantastic song,and you can here great snippets of it on...

Rock Montreal Commentary
Yes I have it and it mainly focuses on how great Freddie is in it.There can be only one!

When last time millionaire waltz live?
That is spot on,the band felt that it wouldn't 'fit in' with the newer material from 79 on,basically Freddie wanted to leap around a bit more!

Selling Queen Demoes & Rarities (David R Fuller, and the like)
Nice post Mr'Archivist' but I hope you were not responsible for the dreadful FM album or awful rehashes.Of course you know that Queen are one of just a few bands that have total control of their back catalogue, so per...

That Adam Lambert guy
I saw bits of the show and thought that he is incredibly brave to even attempt it...Bri and Rog know that there is no way anyone can match Freddie,they just love playing live! It hasn't harmed Adam's career in the UK,...

Freddie Mercury's HIV Diagnosis – Some Insight – 1985 to 1987
That is a great article,well researched! I remember the Simon Bates radio 1 interview in early 1985,it was cancelled and put back a week or two because Freddie had been really ill.He looked great,but changed quite a b...

Random play
You got that bit wrong about the bus....Fred didn't have any money,so they wouldn't let him on.

Did you knew Freddie was friends with Diana?
.......er she was actually a friend of Kenny,but obviously Freddie could not resist leaping over to meet her! The only person that could vouch for it would be Mr Freestone,I can't believe it has been kept quiet for so...

COMPILATION ALBUM
Great idea....sadly not.The record companies seem only interested in the tracks that people relate to,such as the'hits',so assume that such an album would have limited appeal.I for one would be happy to see a full DVD...

I do not want to see anybody play Freddie Mercury (biopic)
I am with you on that,Freddie was such an original in every way! I watched the Kenny Everett thingy the other day,their 'Freddie' I thought was Lord Lucan...I would post a link,but probably get sued.

THOUGHTS ON QUEEN AND ADAM LAMBERT
it was ok.Just watch the Favourite no1 thingy on ITV here in the UK.Watch Bri and Rog's reaction to Freddie.NOBODY can match him.Fullstop, Goodnight!

Freddie's live voice
It was a different world then than today!There was no voice correction,'Autotune' or whatever.Freddie had to pace himself during a big tour,you couldn't just go on and do a hundred shows then like you could today.If y...
