Yes, I wonder why people don't touch that issue a bit more. If there was so much great stuff still out there, why wasn't it used? Why did we have to recycle old Freddie songs and a Miracle B-Side? Was "Assassin" or "Face It Alone" just so crappy that it was set aside, yet again?
A Queen version of Love Kills? Wow! Could it be as exciting as the Queen version of Made In Heaven, cause that wasn't all that. A Gem? Please. A Gem is something precious, without flaws. Maybe Queen has some old "Coal" that could be used in a pinch, but why don't we just close that book?

Those Greg Brooks quotes have been around for some time. Could be that we've already heard the stuff he's talking about, or maybe he's just an optimist.
I would love to see if he still stands by what he said there, of course. I never turn down the chance to hear new stuff, even if it is 'doo dah dah' into a tape recorder.
Hell, I listened to "Sleepy Blues" at least once before losing it.

Sleepy Blues is cool :-) Well it's more a "Drunk Blues", but it's still fun to listen, just not too often :-)

Assassin in fact did not exist.

I think there is.
Here is an old but interesting interview with Mr. Brooks. His answers are all in capital letters.
---
Is there a more complete version of 'I Guess We're Falling Out' in the archives than the one doing the rounds at the minute?
I THINK SO
Does Love Kills exist as a Queen version?
GOOD QUESTION. BUT THAT IS PRECISELY THE KIND OF GEM WE WOULD WANT TO KEEP SECRET, FOR THE BOXED SETS.
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND. I REALLY CAN’T AND DON’T WANT TO SPOIL THE IMPACT OF SUDDENLY LETTING THINGS LIKE THAT OUT OF THE ARCHIVE BAG. WHEN AND IF THEY EMERGE, THEY WILL HOPEFULLY BE A FABULOUS SURPRISE TO EVERYONE, SO YOU DON’T WANT SOME BIG-GOBBED ARCHIVIST GIVING YOU ALL THE DETAILS NOW.
Roger's version of INNUENDO- true or false?
YES. TRUE.
"ASSASSIN"- does it exist?
YES.
Do Queen have any songs that are practically finished (not demos) yet still haven't seen the light of day?
YES
Any unused stuff from Montreaux'91 session?
KIND OF.
Is Queen's version of "Freedom Train" (Innuendo session) different to what we can hear on Roger's "Happiness?"
YES I THINK SO.
1-Do you think that Queen will do a new album with some Freddie´s unreleased stuff in the future?
SOME OTHER SONGS MAYBE, BUT NOT AN ENTIRE LP. BUT WHO KNOWS?
Which, if any, of Queen's demos do you think that if re-worked or remixed could be worthy of a single release? Do you think it'd happen if such a track was found to be right?
THERE ARE ITEMS IN THE ARCHIVE THAT COULD BE REVISTED AND PUT OUT, WHICH WOULD BE STAGGERING IN MY OPINION. STUFF FROM THE INNUENDO, MIRACLE, WORKS AND HOT SPACE SESSIONS MAINLY SPRINGS TO MIND
Do you think Queen will ever have another number one single (I mean Queen not Queen+)?
YES I DO. I AM CONVINCED OF IT. MORE THAN ONE.

Negative Creep, re:
>>I seriously doubt they'd air the most interesting archive material for a handful of fans at the conventions. I would have thought they'd be playing the least interesting stuff there to be honest.
But these people are the MOST interested Queen fans, surely. These are the people that book ANNUALLY to go to the conventions and keep the dream alive. As much as I think they're wasting their time and that the fan club serves absolutely no purpose what so ever, QPL have these people in the palm of their hand. GB has been "good enough" to give these guy a glimpse at what is there and, surely, given his need to be accepted by the "devoted", he's provided them with the best they can expect to hear.
>>And I somehow doubt that the archives are as bare as some people on here wish to believe.
I've seen no evidence to prove otherwise, so will stick with my assumption until proved wrong.
>>You could say they won't release any decent live DVDs because the archives are empty - this isn't true either. If anything, there's too much material to release
Did you see GB's definitive list of what exists in the live archive? I have nno reason to believe that he was / is holding anything back there. He did a great job in delivering on his promise to put rumor to bed on what could "potentially" be released. And what we learned was that there is pretty much bugger all of interest other than what we already knew to be there.
>>They don't want to release a BBC collection either - whilst the material is there. QPL are just not interested in releasing brand new product. There are so many avenues in which they could get their archive material out and they just don't fucking care.
I agree - they have become complacent given the nature of the "standard" Queen fan. This is the type of person who will buy ANYTHING with the Queen name attached to it and think they are getting value. QPL attack that market because it's easy. People like us here are more difficult to please and, therefore, QPL don't bother to invest any time or money in appeasing us.

Hi guys. What's going on in this thread?
[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]The Fonz wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Hi guys. What's going on in this thread?[/QUOTE]
Oooh. Not much. Hmm. Let's see. Well, Greg explained that he has boxes and boxes of Queen stuff at his house, filling up the many rooms that he is not using, such as the attic, the sitting room, etc. This includes lots of music and stuff like banners and tee shirts. He has so many boxes that his mother has now volunteered to store some of it at her house. Then, Greg fell down in the garden and hurt his hand (he probably fell over some recently delivered boxes but he didn't explain, so I am just imagining that part).
Then the fans had many posts regarding their desire for more original Queen music to be released, such as the music that we might not know of yet that might be in the archives. Some fans are also worried they will not live to see the day of the release of the "box set" (which will maybe include an interesting amount of rarities and B sides). Many fans believe that Greg is their only hope of "reaching" the band with this request for more music.

Well said Donna!
I just like the music.
Just release the London '78 shows or at least one of them. Enough hits, cool setlist and maybe their best tour ever?

Man, will I ever second that. Hopefully the tapes have been preserved.
Hammersmith Odeon 79 - perfect performance, perfect setlist, would be a logical 2CD + 2 DVD release for me, but I will die on cancer before it happends
