Of course they have a marketing strategy.
Two weeks before the album release Brian is going to mention on his soapbox what a fabulous album they have done. And that's it.[/QUOTE]
Of course it doesnt work that way. AC/DC got a new album out at about the same time and they havent even said a word about it. Compared to them weve got tons of information.
Oasis has an album out about the same time aswell and theyve released track listing and cover art, but theyve been done recording for a long time and they dont have to plan rehearsals or meetings month ahead since they dont live on opposite sides of the world.
I seriously think theyre not just completely finished, thats all. Well know soon enough.

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]CD89 wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Hi everyone,
I never really feel inclined to post my views and opinions on here, but feel slightly irritated by Queen Productions' new way of scamming even more money out of us fans.
Let me say that I fully support the QPR project, so this isn't a way of me slamming them at all. I just can't help feeling ripped off by The Album Club, which charged us £2 to join (I know this isn't much!), and so far, all we have been given is a video of C-Lebrity (which we all saw on TV), some liner notes, a few photos of the band, and a couple of pointless videos of Bri, Roger and Paul welcoming us to the site and talking about Runaway (which isn't even going to be included on the new album!).
With just over a month until the album is released, does anyone know whether we'll get any more features in The Album Club? I think once again, we've been scammed by Queen Productions...
Cheers,
Chris[/QUOTE]
I can't really hand on heart say that I think £2 is being ripped off, they never promised anything that we haven't recieved (yet) so frankly I don't see it as a huge gripe.
If they had said that they were going to give access to lots of pre-album stuff then maybe I would be less then happy, however, so far I feel it's been as advertised.

Hang on...the £2 goes to charity anyway??? Wow, you got conned into a good cause! lol And you get stuff from the album club to boot!!
Where's the problem? I can't see one.

Well at least now we are entered into a raffle every month!
Ah, I had no idea the money went to charity! I feel less 'conned' now, and certainly quite embarassed after I started a post about it!
Also logged onto Queenonline today, and saw that members of the Album Club are going to have the chance to hear the new album and meet the band at rehearsals! I'm certainly not complaining now if we're being offered things like that!

Oh yeah, we're gonna meet the band at rehearsals. You bet.
I hear album club members may actually get to share a Coca Cola at the rehearsal hall's Coke machine with Spike Edney.
Bring your paid receipt and Spike will buy YOUR soda... you still gotta buy his. It's charity.

I wonder if these meeting the band competitions will end up like the competition where you got to meet Roger.
It for the Electric Fire album and the winner was going to get their mix of One Night Stand professionally mixed and meet Roger at a recording studio in London. It never happened.

I wasn't aware even at the time, you had the 'opportunity to meet' Roger if you were the winner.
(Not sure what I thought the prize was back then.....LOOOOONG time ago)

When I joined, they accidentally sent me a bone china tea service worth £750 instead of a mug. It dates back to 1864, so I'm very very very happy indeed.
The teapot is especially nice.
I don't feel ripped off.

Lucky you. I got a katana dating from the Edo period, with something written on it, a little bit legible. I think the characters read something likw "Teo Torri...." on it.
My kanji knowledge isn't very proficient enough so I'm just guessing :-)
