At the rate they're going We'll all be old or dead, that's what I 'm saying. Was there any reason for the singles box set?.....

There might have been a chance missed with this Absolute Greatest album.
Brian,Roger and John could've re-recorded some of the old hits(as like Cliff Richard and Status Quo have done in the past).I'm sure there are old tapes of Freddie somewhere in the vaults of some of the old hits like Killer Queen for example.

Are you for real? This is a joke surely?

Why? Brian and Roger writing new songs, and performing concerts sounds like a damn fine idea to me.

another Queen/paul album?....no thanks!....i'm 38 years old. I want the rarities. I don't care if that's it/games over. At least I know I got them before I'm dead.[/QUOTE]
On the upside, if you're dead it won't bug you any more. Nothing will [img=http://www.queenzone.com/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img]

I hear a rumour that Queen were going to tour soon with Brian Singing and Anita on geetar....Roger to be replaced by Phil Collins and new material written by Steve Brookstein and Christina Aguilera. Now THAT is the stage we're getting to.
Fuck the hits re-re-re-re release in super rare packaging, WWRY 2 and Shrek the fucking musical and bring out the boxsets you promised us some 8 years ago - it can't be hard.
I really hope you're taking note BHM and RMT.

They're not going to take note from an angry little boy.
The Beatles took 2 John Lennon demos and recorded around them for the anthology. I have no problem with the guys doing something similar to that. But another MIH is just a bit weird to me. MIH was made with a labour of love and the need to work on it. I'm sure Brian said at one point, it was their therapy for what happened to Freddie. Yay to the anthology approach, but nay to another album made like that.
Btw, the singles box was a good idea because it gets it out of the way. Remember, this stuff was all conceived as being part of an all-in-one box set. But that would've been overkill to have the singles stuff as well as the huge library of other mixes, b-sides, alt takes, demos, etc. etc. It also does what people here said they wanted, i.e. not to HAVE TO buy something which includes stuff they are not interested in.

"Angry"? No, just disappointed and feeling that the band we've watched, put money into and followed for such a long time want to fob us off with shit.
"Little boy"? Was there a need to be patronising?
As for the "taking note" part, I'm not the only one who has this opinion, surely they should be taking note of of the opinions of the people who put them where they are?

:) just keep on dreaming about the rarities....listen the demos and fantasize about how you would have loved to hear them...solos, drums fill, bass lines....and "Oh yeah"s from Freddie :)
and you're gonna be happy for the rest of your life (even VERY old 38 yo people)

You had it coming, sorry ... your other post was totally unreasonable.

[/QUOTE]We'd like to think that artists have to listen to what we want because 'we put them there' but ultimately, nope - there's no obligation there. I think sometimes it sucks but that's just how life is. Making music is not some kind of democracy - you don't buy their product and then somehow own a bit of their creative process. You buy the music you like, and then when they stop putting out stuff that you like, you go and buy something else.[/QUOTE]

[/QUOTE]I mean it sucks - I want more rare Queen stuff too - but at the moment that isn't an option.

Isn't an option? Yes it is....they have the material, they have the means, they already promised it. Don't fob us off with another hits or live album, it's just money for old rope - the material is there, all they have to do is just sling it in a box and be done with it. I for one couldn't care about fancy packaging or intricate artwork or faux leather or the likes - it could be an MP3 collection on a CDR for all I care..... now for all the pedants, I know this won't be how it's done, but for all the time they've taken on singles boxes and remastered remasters, they could have put their time into something more contructive. I don't think that's unreasonable.
And maybe I was a little OTT with my rant, but you have to admit we have been bordering on the ridiculous with their collaborations in recent years....Five, Will Young (and even at the Party at The Palace thing a few years back, I'm sure Phil Collins DID play drums on a Queen song).
But OTT or not, this is a forum for discussion and my opinion is as good as yours.

The thing is, I don't like the endless shit collaborations or the compilations either. My course of action? I didn't buy any of them.[/QUOTE]

I don't buy them either buddy, the point is they don't have to waste their time with it - all we're asking for is the stuff they already promised. And yes, Sandbox, Sandbox!!!!
