For God's sake Mr. Brooks what's going on over at Queen Productions?! Is there any PRODUCING going on?! Is that SERIOUSLY going to be the album cover for "Queen Rock Montreal"?! I'm a die hard fan and am wondering what's up with the horrible covers on the latest releases such as with "Return Of The Champions"?! It's so attrocious that I won't even be buying this product...so how are you all going to get the public to buy it?! I mean seriously?! Seriously there must be a different cover going to be used for "Rock Montreal". Are there really no creative ideas for packaging, artwork, concept, or design? Why don't you all just put a big penis on it and call it "We Like Cock."?! I might as well gurgle my own shit.

Er, last two sentences notwithstanding, I agree, though Greg has absolutely no say over what goes into the projects, so he's the wrong fella to ask. Might as well shoot an email off to Brian.
Hopefully he is in contact with SOMEONE related to Queen to get the word out. I mean REALLY! Tell me this. Queen are now reunited and making music again and are touring. They have the huge issue of convincing the public that they were not Freddie Mercury's back up solo band as so many percieved them to be. So the question is...what's with Brian May and Roger Taylor seeming like they want nothing to do with these products being release?! Again the other d.v.d. covers are great. What's wrong with a conceptual cover?! I have ten dollars should we start a fund for them?
I suggest that we bomb Brian May with e-mails. Then he might come to his senses and do something to change the cover.
There are FAR bigger problems with QP than the quality of the DVD covers.
They have no more a Freddie like the designer. :-(
How about a picture of an ass taking a crap on a bunch of Queen fans?

Eh...I don't know, that's a really, really bad cover. How embarrassing that people who don't know who Queen is would see that in a store. (Though I doubt that's really the cover.)

Regarding the artwork for Montreal DVD... Alex and others... let me say this.
I too was surprised by it. It is not remotely what I expected.
But... there is only one designer for Queen artwork and that isn't me. It is isn't Justin or Kris or Greg, and you cannot assume therefore that everyone at QPL must naturally love every cover that's produced. That is presumptuous and not logical.
I think The Miracle LP cover is magnificent and one of the best album covers of all time. It is a wonderfully original and creative and innovative and impactive cover. I love it. But I do not love every cover on Queen products.
Certain covers/artwork I have seen I personally think look like a bootleg product but that's just my opinion. Who the hell am I to question those things? I am only the archivist.
Am I consulted about artwork??? Am I asked if I think it's great or not??? No. Never.
I am ever so slightly concerned that you guys think we ALL at QPL love every artwork. It's not the case at all.

Thanks Greg - a diplomatic answer which confirms our fears that this is indeed the final artwork.
Glad that you think the same as us!!

If somebody can contact Jim Jenkins, can he please be invited to offer his perspective on the Queenzone re: box sets/QPL? I thought Benn's remark about NDA's was all GB needed to confirm...
Oh! Wow! Mr. Brooks! Thanks for responding to my bitching! (It's as if it is finding some mystical folk creature when you respond! Lol!) Um...well there you go. I don't mean to sound ungrateful it is just that I think most everything Queen does is great to the point of setting standards artistically. So I think that would explain why I and others thought maybe this cover did not do Queen justice as we hope the products will sell well enough to have them keep comming. I suppose if there is something that we don't like at some point something can always be re-released. Thanks!
