[b]I'm a bit of a newbie, but I have been listening to Queen non stop since last year, every single day, (as well as 'Mr. Bad Guy' and 'Barcelona', because I'm obsessed with Freddie!) and I am not bored in the slightest. I always make a Queen play list to listen to when I do the dishes, as well, haha.
[/b][b]Technically, Silverchair are my favourite band, but yeah, I can literally listen to Queen every single day and really embrace it! I tend to favour their later albums 'The Miracle' and 'Innuendo', specifically.

[b]My thoughts EXACTLY. [/b][b]
[/b][b]And don't get me started on Queen +PR. I have no intention of [i]ever[/i] listening to a [i]single second [/i]of THAT. Yuck.

I`m a big fan since 2004, and sure, I had times when i just listened to them about once a week, But its not weakened or something, I still have the passion for Queen, And i am still amazed that Freddie had such a great vocal ability and great style/range.

[b]Indeed. I am consistently amazed at just how much power Freddie had, not only as a singer and a showman, but also as a pianist and a songwriter, in general. And the fact that when this man was DYING he STILL gave every single song absolutely everything he had. There are no words to describe how I feel about that.[/b]

My exact thoughts.

He sung the last lines of Mother Love about 3(?) weeks before he died.....
It is one hell of a performance.

I mean, i am a healthy(well a bit overweight) boy and even i cant sing that line without going out of breath or cracking my voice..

Fan since 1984. Like many of us I´ve got tired many times through the years, and then I´ve gone out from the Queen world and listened to lots of music from my other fave bands, or discover new ones.

And then I get stuck in something like Muse -> it reminds me of Queen -> I come back 

I always come back

I used to get soooo tired of Queen in my teens, possibly a combination of a restless soul and overkill as so many others here, but I always got back to listening to Queen... mainly because of their superiority to all other bands, IMO no other band have had such diversity and quality throughout the years and albums, to me 99% of the songs are masterpieces and I wouldn't say that about any other band or artist.
Nowadays I never get tired of them, my remedy for getting tired of Queen is to be engaged to a man that can't stand listening to them. We work in shifts and every third week we have 7 days when we both are free from work, ergo one week when I don't listen to Queen at all (although I at times catch myself singing Queen loudly). So at the end of these 7 days I can't wait to get in my car and play Queen LOUD! [img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img]
My soon to be husband says that he never have to worry 'bout me having an affair cause he knows my only true love next to him is Queen. When we moved in together I had more Queen stuff than his entire music collection, so he knew what he was up for... lol

I must admit.....that...Sadly I have been neclegting Queen a little.... Like I got 'Queen' album for Xmas & I've only listened to it ONCE oh the shame! *slaps self* & also I got very angry at my photography book therefore got angry at 'The Game' Album that was playing for no apparent reason(altough it was playing don't try suicide) I did feel bad about that, so erm sorry. oh & I need to start staring at my Queen posters more lovingly.

Is that Boredom Or pure neglectence^?? But I could enver get bored with Queen...even if I did I'd always come crawling back...I just need to get my CD's & books  out again :-)

Ill have times where I wont listen to Queen for a couple of weeks, but ill get right back into queen and itll be the only thing I listen to. Just Roger said, "we"ll always come back to Queen, like coming back to mother"

Very well said...!
I've been listening to Queen since 1989 and still need my daily dosis...but I'm not as obsessed as I was in my teen years of course. I listen a lot to Eurythmics/Annie Lennox and Bowie these days or early 80's (dark) wave in general - but as posted by so many of you before: listening to Queen feels like coming home.
That music is - without any doubt - part of my life, so never really get tired of listening to them, no.
Just like you don't get tired of seeing yourself in the mirror every morning... ;)

Though I never get tired of Queen there are many periods where they blend back into the whole of all the things I listen to.  Then, without fail, I'll read or hear something here or elsewhere that sends me off to YouTube or to an album track or the live recordings for one reason or another, and I'm freshly blown away by things I've heard or seen dozens of times simply because it's all so damn good.

I temporarily leave Queen to enjoy some Deep Purple, my 2nd favourite band

same here. Only difference: fan since september '91.

I've gone through periods of time when I don't listen to Queen at all... like right now. Usually another artist's work steals the spotlight and I start listening to them for a while. I blame Clint Mansell and the Kronos Quartet this time. But I usually turn back after a few months (or slightly longer). [/QUOTE]

With the lack of any new material (of any worth), I'm certainly tiring of Queen

Must be said that CR exceptionally disappointing as was the tour - which, in my opinion, was the first 'Queen' tour where there had been no progress from previous outings

Now in my mid-40's, I DO wish I could live some moments again:

1st Queen album (NOTW) - discovering an unexpected and awsome talent in Freddie Mercury (who I'd previously dismissed as a Robet Plant wannabe, in my teenage wisdom!)-

eagerly waiting for Jazz and feeling totally let-down (I Do see some worth in the album now but then it was just paper-thin drums and weak songs..)

first tour (Crazy Tour - Glasgow) - realising that nobody could hold a candle to Queen stage presence - ears ringing for days!

Buying Live Killers the day it came out and running home to play...

HATING them for Hot Space but loving the tour

Loving the Works but hating them for a limited-stop tour

Taping every clip on TV

I'm sure many are familiar with the rest

Have to say though, I AM tired of Queen these days. Wish FM was still here and they had the work ethos of RUSH

Dont like these tacky re-issues, art with a capital F. Wish they had ditched DoRo and made some proper vids.....

Wish the later songs had better lyrics and actually meant something

Had a ramble - off to bed

Sorry to bore
