A protest against the whining we see nowdays

As my good friend Thomas Tønnesen wrote in another thread we feel that people are very spoilt nowdays. We see it here, and we see it on the Queenonline messageboard. Nothing is good enough.

I remember the days Thomas talked about. The #Queen channel on Mirc, and gazebows QueenHeaven. It was exciting times.

When Made In Heaven was released internet wasnt something people had in their homes. I remember listening to the radio, and suddenly they said that they had a premiere on Queens brand new single. I still remember his words: "Its P3, you heard it here first, this is Heaven for Everyone by Queen!" It was like Magic. It came out of the blue. I had been a fan of Queen for two years and knew that the singer was dead. I think I had some tears down my cheak as well. I was now experiencing a new Queensong as a Queenfan. I didnt think that was going to happen ever.

Thinking back on it now I am so glad I didnt have any internet. I could not access any discussions, I could not download interviews or hear previews. I saw no album cover. Sometimes I kinda wish it was like that today too. Its like when you have unlimited access too sweets. You get sick. Even football isnt as fun as it used to be. I remember when NRK Norway sent one english game a week at 16:00 (our time) on saturdays. It was the first thing I thought of when I woke up in the morning. And the clock went so slow until 16:00. But it was well worth the wait!

Back to the subject though. We were always hoping after Made In Heaven that Queen would do something. No One But You were exciting. So was the Roger Taylor album Electric fire. I loved it. Still we waited for some more Queen activity.

Now it has finally happened and I read all these negative threads and comments. Critisism is a good thing if its constructive and sensible. When people start to critisise even before the album is released there is something wrong I think. I feel very sorry for Brian May and Roger Taylor if they read all this, they dont really deserve it.

"The albumcover looks shit", "The albumtitle is terrible", "Paul Rodgers is a bad singer", "Omg, they are showing up at Al Murray", " C-Lebrity is a terrible title"

People are of course entitled to their opinions. But I just want to step up and show the world that all of us arent like that. I think most people in the western world are a bit spoilt. Nothing is good enough.

I cant wait for the album. I am so glad that they are making it, and that Queen are touring again. I hope that some others also feel like this

Whilst Ive been guilty of questioning the apparent name, which of course isnt even confirmed, I wholeheartedly support what you are saying, and Im truly grateful for new music, and the chance to see them live again!
I dont give a toss about most of the negativity, and I think most of it comes from people who are unable to let go of the past, and spend their time dwelling on legacy - something which can never be changed, and wont (and shouldnt) be forgotten.

Hooray for the chance to be excited about something new - I for one will be like an excited kid at Christmas the first time I play the new album.

:)

I totally agree with your post. Queen "fans" here have very strict, and if so very unrealistic expectations of Queen as it is. They will bitch and moan about anything they do now, instead of being GLAD we're getting any new music from Queen, let alone any tours, concerts or whatever.

I for one am appreciative of what Brian, Roger and Paul do for us.
I just wish everyone else were as well.

Well all I whine about is how much people whine about Q+PR, Celine Dion covering Queen, etc.
AND I WHINE ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE WHINE OVER HOW THERE'S NO QUEEN WITHOUT FREDDIE.
LIKE I SAID BEFORE, WHAT ABOUT JOHN FREAKIN DEACON??!?!?!? HE WAS IMPORTANT TOO!!! XD
but eh, what can we do about this whining?
i really don't know.
it's not gonna stop with as long as TM and other Stepford fans are around.
watch, TM's gonna bash me as soon as he sees this. XD
But anyways, I personally believe Q+PR have done a fine job these recent years. LEAVE Q+PR ALONE!!! THEY'RE JUST HUMAN BEINGS!!! LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!!! *cries as mascara runs down my face*

Celine Dion is a fabulous singer.
And, John Deacon is my idol.. :D (i don't care what anyone tells me about that XD)

How incredibly funny that you should start a thread about whining in such a fashion.

Another too much serious thread by Another Roger (re)... Whining or spamming - Queen fans' destiny.

Yes Serry, to be serious at a messageboard is purely a bad thing amongst the dumb...

I dont know what you are talking about. I have previously started threads while I have been a irritated. Thats not always a good idea.

Anyways, I am not angry now. I just want to say that I am very excitied by the new album and even the appearance on tv today. I think loads of people look forward to this. We just dont hear them because the negative people scream so loud.

Thomas, there's a thing called 'opinion', most of us don't start new threads in Serious Discussion forum to share their opinions especially when there's topic with the same content. What's so special in AR(r) opinion that it deserves new thread ("he's my friend" is not enough)? Auto-erotism is good in General forum.

I love to whine about everything. But I totally agree :D

agree as well. am looking forward a lot to tonight really. how could a new song by roger and brian be a bad thing before weve even heard it. theyre all just human, and so was freddie even if i sometimes wonder if some people really think so

Doesn't it say something about the product if people complain?
Why does it make one a 'whinger' just because they have a bad opinion about something? Why must negative forum posts be taken as the gospel truth? (I certainly don't think Al Murray is a cumbubble, I just don't think his 'sing with Queen' thing is all that great).

And again ; why are you allowed to whinge about whingers, but whingers aren't allowed to whinge about Queen - which coincidentally happens to be the subject matter of this forum?

What I really mean though is ; ah fuck it.

I agree completely.

And get a haircut, hippe :-)
