i didn't like HotSpace(don't mean i don't like, it is just the worst Queen album)... but have many people here who critize all Queen stuffs, it's not good! I don't like people how enter in a queen Forum to say crap of Queen! We have to know what say!

Another negatively energetic topic. Hooray.
Just to keep in mind that it really is a matter opinion on this particular topic, I'll try to voice my thoughts as personally as I can, without any reference to reality and the current happenings whatsoever. But I have to defend Queen's rights as artists in a couple of things first.

To quote Freddie about Hot Space, "it's only a bloody record..." To be sure, as is evident enough even today, people tend to get way too excited about relatively unimportant things that are beyond their control. I happen to like it all the more for the reason that so many of you guys hate it. But it's definitely more interesting, musically speaking, than any Queen members' solo efforts (sans Barcelona) and definitely stands on its own however awkwardly. Music is an artform, it's meant to cause feelings. The extremer, the better. If it doesn't raise your ire or earn your esteem, and instead causes a bland "meh", then it has failed in its mission. Most of modern music is such.

Same goes for the Miracle cover art, really. You can form a definite opinion of it, hence it works. If it can be horribly bad in someone's opinion, then logically it is brilliant in someone else's. I don't love it, but at least it's different.

Anyway, my Top 5 Things I Wish Queen HADN'T Done...

5. Release Live Magic, when they could have just as well released the Wembley show in its stead in 1986. Or perhaps even compile a full length live album of the tour, in a similar vein to Live Killers, but with comprehensive liner notes. On that note, they should've put more information on Live Killers as well.
4. Written so many blatantly regular straightforward rock songs. Instead they could have explored the progressive, ethnic, folk and classical approaches to their music a lot more. Not to mention, the r'n'b/funk/disco material. Without synths and drum machines.
3. Released so many uncalled for compilation albums.
2. Waited until the last possible minute to release the so-called bookend material.
1. Quit existing as the entity of the original four. Unfortunately, some things could not be avoided.

Oh piss, another negative energy topic. Let's piss on everyone that's posted, and then let me piss on my own five things I wish Queen hadn't done.

Get off your soapbox, hypocrite. You've just made a fool of yourself.

1-thinking they were Invincible and could put out substandard material after The Game.....(Flash, Hot Space, filler on Magic)
2-the Hot Space album (should have been shelved until they had much better material - what were they thinking??!! invincible?)
3- Break Free Video in drag for USA (killed them in US)2nd single should have been Hammer to Fall
4 - No Heavy Rock single like Hammer to Fall immediately after Break Free (would have been their life support - when Hammer was released it was too late)
5 - Freddie contracting AIDS - not a Queen thing but likely a personal lifestyle decision - carelessness

5+ Not working extra hard to create even more material with Freddie before he died....allowing the Made In Heaven album to include previously released Freddie solo songs and B sides....for me there are only 5 songs on that cd.....and no rocking songs at all - sad...

More: Not doing at least one live performance with the Miracle songs - even a benefit concert of some kind or a special London show would have been great....or a tv special....realize it would have been impossible for Innuendo

ahh yes -even more - Not touring North America after 82.....(really glad at least Roger and Brian came back as QPR)

for one of the comments above Florea (Sp?)
A kind of Magic was released in the US and Canada
Pain is so Close to Pleasure was also released to radio after.....

btw shame that cd wasn't stronger - the Highlander songs were amazing as was One Vision...and then the other songs were filler....Don't Lose Your Head is actually much better as the instrumental A Dozen Red Roses for My Darling (highlander) - the vocals actually takes away from the music....lost their heads I guess

I wish they hadn't lowered their standards.

I wish Queen hadn't:

1)  let Freddie break up with Mary
2)  dropped out of school
3)  replaced Roger with a drum machine
4)  put vaseline all over themselves for a music video
5)  cut their hair

1.  Sitting on their bottoms with regard to releasing CDs/DVDs of their old concerts e.g. Houston 1977

2.  Creating stocks of unsold vinyl releases, singles box sets, Absolute Greatest Hits (old materials)

3.  Diverting attention from releasing new materials of old concerts to clearing stocks as stated in (2) above

4.  Tolerating a staff who comes to a fan site to scold the fans instead of speaking nicely to them (the customer is king)  :-)

I couldn't blame greg for coming here to put down the fans. The so called fans on Queenzone are a bunch of miserable SOB's.  Complain about everything, put down the band members on a regular basis, put down majority of the music.... I'm glad greg comes on Queenzone to dish out a little love to the losers on this site.

Personally (although I do not consider myself to be one of those miserable SOBs) I find the more I love or admire something, the more critically reflective I tend to become - I like to be assured my passions aren't slipping into dogma.  Like the way one is harsher on one's family or one's partner.  But I agree to the extent that it is boring to listen to miserable people moan and rant.  HOWEVER - surely you cannot deny that some people just have no sense of humour - some of the jokes here are hugely funny, often I take them as meant as a criticism or a piss-take of those that don't 'get' them, rather than the band itself.
