I think this is bad news. But anyway, since he said 'tracks' I think this means we'll hear Victory and There Must be more to life than this. I don't think we'll get State of Shock, at least I hope we wont since that's the worst of the two songs we've heard. The two voices don't match at all.

Anyway, Freddie stopped by Michael’s house to work on a few songs. They were “Victory”, “State of Shock” and “there must Be More to Life than This”. the demos were ran through a few times but sadly left unfinished as both men had their own tours/albums to work on. Ever since, fans of both have been wondering how the songs came out, if they’d ever get the chance to hear them.
A few years back, a box set of virtually every Mercury track recorded was released and fans had hoped the duets with Michael would be included. They were not. as yet, they have not been officially released anywhere in the world.
As some of you may know, “State of Shock” was released but with Mick Jaggar instead of Mercury. “…More to Life than This” ended up as a Freddie only track on his album “mr. bad Guy”.
In an interview with a Belgian magazine Roger Tayler says “We are now working on some never-before-released songs that Freddy made with Michael in the early 80's. I’m not allowed to say too much about it but they sound incredible!”.
Hmm, very interesting and intriguing information. When are they decided that time has come , for the rare stuff ? On what the album will appear previously unreleased songs?
What a fuck you use my nickname?

Lost man there's no wrong doing here, Goodolfashionedloverboy has just pressed return too many times, if it was someone pretending to be him the posts would be more interesting than just posting the thing he posted before it a few seconds later. I’m pretty sure he’s a bit paranoid.
Back on topic, if this is true then there is a good chance that the tracks Freddie mercury thought were terrible may get him back on the radio. who said you can't get cash from kicking a dead horse?

Certainly no more reliable source for Queen-related information than a website like "johnjohnsaidit" quoting an unnamed Belgian magazine! Its practically a done deal, no doubt!

And, yes, I was expressing skepticism.
Carry on.

That's good, but this did appear in a Flemish magazine. http://knackfocus.rnews.be/nl/entertainment/muziek/queen/roger-taylor-f-ck-off-darling/article-1194964927801.htm Check out this article (with interview) in Dutch about 40 years of Queen. It's not fake. As much as I would love it to be false, they are working on the awful Jackson tracks. Or he's lying.
