Uggh, this site has become more of a "[i]let's insult everyone who uses improper English or asks 'stupid' questions that a true diehard Queen fan would [b]never[/b] ask or bitch at the Queen Archivist[/i]". And I've done my share in the past, but come on guys, this crap is SO boring now. I wonder what jobs alot of you guys actually do have if you can spend ALL day long on here blogging and posting and ranting?
Here's the deal. Queen fans want new material. No offense Greg, but no one wants the shitty singles collections, or butchered Q+PR material. They also don't care for crappy studio albums (Cosmos Rocks; lets really be honest, musically and lyrically this album is crap) or another Greatest Hits package. This is all evident by the crappy sales. I have bought EVERY thing Queen has put out until the past few years. I didn't buy the singles collections, live in Ukraine or Absolute Greatest. So what does this say about diehard Queen fans (and I'm sure I'm not the only one)? Do I really need to say it? QUEEN IS BORING NOW.
Queen fans, REAL Queen fans want unrealesed concerts (FROM THE 1970's, NOT MORE 1980's SHOWS) that supposedly exist in their entirety, unreleased tracks, etc. etc. What about remastering the real Queen albums and adding bonus tracks and outtakes? Other bands have done this recently. Why not Queen?
So, how can we all come together to get it across to QP to start releasing some worthwhile stuff? Whatever happened to the hinted Hammersmith 1975 show? Brian May made it seem that it was getting released. Where the hell is it? This shows a lack of concern by him and Roger Taylor to not make more stuff happen.
Oh and QP needs to find a new person to mix the live audio (where the hell are the drums???) and someone else to come up with album cover artwork. Again, let's be honest, Singles Collections, Stone Cold Classics, Return of the Champions, Live in Ukraine (what a joke!...I could have photoshopped a better one), Live in Montreal all had HORRIBLE crappy artwork that my cat could have done better designing them.
That felt good.

John [/QUOTE]You did not respond to one single thing I said, where I pointed out several aspects that clearly and blatantly demonstrate my job duties are far very very far from how you described them.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]YOU WERE TOTALLY WRONG TO STATE THE FOLLOWING, BUT ARE NOT MAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT IT. HOW PITIFUL IS THAT??? NOT TO MENTION ANNOYING. I THINK THE WORD 'ANNOYING' WILL NOT BE ALIEN TO YOU. [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]* 'I don't think anyone would want such a negative job in the first place.'[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]* Sure listening to music is fun, but to take that fun element away and turn it into cataloging every note and nuance is not as glamorous as it would seem.

I told you that you could not possibly be MORE WRONG if you tried until Dooms Day, and that it only shows the extent of your total ignorance of my job.
You just ignored these things, and ALL the evidence listed for you, as usual, like you always do and always did, for as long as i can recall. This shows your true character. I proved you wrong, you know it, but you cannot admit it. Even other QZ-ers, like mooghead, can see that jealousy drives much of what you say and suggest, and they have told you more than four or five times that I can remember. Only you cannot see it.
This has always been my biggest problem with you, Johnst, that while you are a very knowledgeable Queenie, you just do not know when to be balanced and fair. It's not in you. That's why I severed links with you in the first place. NOT because of any other thing... but simply because you will not address the issues at hand. You skirt around issues and avoid the real points, every time, and it frustrates the hell out of me and most of the other people I know who once dealt with you.
You make it impossible to maintain a sensible and fair and balanced dialog, because you avoid the main issues ALL THE TIME and focus instead on the peripheral detail. You go around the houses more than a blind pigeon with magnets sellotaped to its head.
Please do not ever become a taxi driver!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS STUFF IS NEW. I ONLY WATCHED IT LAST WEEK. I NEVER SAW IT BEFORE IN MY LIFE. SO EXCUSE ME BUT YOU'RE TOTALLY AND UTTERLY INCORRECT AGAIN.
THE STUFF I MENTIONED YEARS AGO WAS VERY DIFFERENT - ALTERNATE TAKES. NOT THE RUSHES. WE ONLY TRANSFERRED THEM RECENTLY SO IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO VIEW THEM BEFORE RECENTLY.
NOW APOLOGISE FOR BEING WRONG.
RIGHT NOW AND RIGHT HERE.
ARE YOU BIG ENOUGH TO DO THAT??????????????????????????
[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry Greg. If I'm wrong then I always hold up my hands and admit it. Do you?
Oh, and before you mention it, this was recorded on camera BEFORE you played your archive tracks and before you asked everybody NOT to record said tracks as it would prevent us from hearing anything else in future, so no, those tracks are NOT part of the convention video that was filmed.

[b]brians wig[/b]: I tried to click on the above link but it didn't work.
However, when I cut and pasted the link into the address bar - it does.

Thanks for that.
I wonder if GB will now apologise to you?
I seem to recall from childhood it was Jesus who reportedly said:
"Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee..." - Luke 19:22
(Or to paraphrase my own mail above - this is [b][i]his[/i][/b] words - not yours/mine/ours)
Just for clarity - can you put a date to the recording please?
(PS: I am not religious as an adult - but that's what years of Sunday school indoctrination does for you - lol!)

What the FUCK is wrong with the lot of you?!?!
John and Greg, deal with this ONE ON ONE..
The only ones really caring about your opinion of eachother (if it wasnt clear already) is yourselves!!
This board can do with a LOT less crap like this..
Greg, why do you care if someone presumes to know your job? If it's your credibillity you're worried about... DON'T
Defending ones 'online' honor... is THIS the world we created..
...find something more productive to do, please.

I totally agree with you.
I see no reason why this is public - or why it is in a serious discussion thread.
However, the thread [b][i]is[/i][/b] addressed to me - so I am really damned if I reply - and damned if I ignore it.
Perhaps you are correct. Perhaps I should rise above it - but it is very difficult to ignore a personally loaded thread like this without adding some sort of comment.
Unless one has had a personal thread commencing: "To Dane" (or whoever), it is very difficult to appreciate how difficult it is to bite one's tongue.
But, I take your point.

I agree with Dane and Oi Fingers!
And I agree with Johnny St Stuart, who agreed with Dane and everyone else. I agree with whatever JSS agrees with because that's always nice to do, don't you agree?
[/QUOTE]Johnny mate, can you please give me a wee list of the myriad things currently on QZ that you agree with, and the various people herein you're in agreement with, so that I can formally and VERY Publicly agree too. This would help enormously with me becoming much loved and admired here, which, don't tell anyone, is really crucial to me.
[/QUOTE]By the way.... would you agree with me that quoting the bible on this forum, and/or anywhere else, is decidedly disagreeable? Surely we can agree on this???? Go on Johnny St Stuart, agree with me on this. You know you want to.. You can't resist a good agreeing. Go on! Go on!
[/QUOTE]Love and respect to you and yorn John, and remember, 'But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.[url=http://www.bibleinsong.com/Song_Pages/Matthew/Matthew5/Matthew5.htm](Matthew 5:44,45)[/url]
OH Bugger and ballbags. I quoted the bible. Damnation!

Once again, you titilate and throw out the chum in order to entice; you think we can't see what you've done in evading the point of your own post? Needing to prompt people into questioning you about the out-takes again with no intention of responding - as with Tiger Woods, *you* are a self-aggrandising prick.

At the end of the day Greg, everyone is jealous of you and people, Brits in particular, dont like people who make them jealous. Thats when the insults and vitriol starts.
Some of the things you say can be childish but its so obviously a piss take I cannot believe people bite time after time.
Good on you. Hope you are loving the job as much as I know I (and John Stuart) would.
