If confirmed, these are the greatest news in 16 years! I'm speachless...

When they did MIH, i don't believe they had NEARLY the handle on what was in their Archives that they do now, all these years later. There's NO WAY (in my humble opinion) that QZers have the definitive and exhaustive list of what's available to work with on a new project.
As I've said before, we know Freddie sang a finished vocal for Rock It (Prime Jive)... and GB has said one of the most astounding things to him as he's cataloged the Archives (and this was a question he addressed years ago) was the AMOUNT and QUALITY of stuff the guys discarded in their studio work.
What about that early track listing of The Works that included "Man On Fire" and "Whipping Boy" - no one knows for sure what arrangements or vocals are on those, and on and on.
I know this project could turn out to be a disappointment, but i'm still hopeful that it can also be something amazing, and i'm choosing to go with that for now...

I hope they finally finish and release Two Worlds Apart.

I also hope they release the track: "John, where are you now" (I know a demo excists)

My hope is that, if it's an album album (ie. finished songs, some kind of vague connecting theme, etc) that it be GOOD. No fuckin' guests. I don't want to hear anyone singing if they aren't Freddie, Brian or Roger, because there is no excuse for it. This is asking a lot, and no doubt Brian's libido will lead him to pick some shit guest singers from somewhere, but I can stay hopeful for now.
If it's not going to be a proper album, then I wish they'd just put out some rare shit for us to hear. Maybe they've used all of the stuff that's good enough to rework, but there's no reason that we can't hear some outtakes 'n' shit.

Top tips for a new album:
1. No guest singers (there probably will be guest singers: I have a horible feeling this will be a Queen + guests album) 2. Don't put Heaven in the title. Or Angel. Or Paradise. Or any of that maudlin bullshit that plagued Made in Heaven. Think AC/DC's "Back in Black" instead. 3. Use a bass player. 4. Make an efort this time. No more "Still Burnin's" please. 5. For the title, don;t use the the words "rocks" or "rock you" so avoid, for instance, callng it "Queen+ Will Rock You". 6. Get someone who knows what s/he is talking about to write the notes on th CD. 7. Do it. Don;t just promise you will do it like the proposed Hammersmith DVD. 8. Brian, take a break from the London musical theatre scene for 6 months and go hang around with some of your old friends like Tony Iommi and Slash. Maybe some of their rock mojo will rub off on you again ...

He don't has to answer. Just let him know... that will be fine.

For fuck's sake people, please stop getting ahead of yourselves and look at the facts:
- Brian said, or has been quoted as saying "going through some old drawers" and "As well as seeing what we can unearth, we want to do a new musical to follow We Will Rock You. The songs are there, it’s just a question of finding time to get the right production" - The rest of the content, including the obligatory sensationalist headline, came from the fingers and hyperbolic and judicious-with-the-truth mind of some journo from The Daily Star, the UK's 2nd trashiest "newspaper".
What was the context in which Brian said what was quoted? What leading questions might have been put to him? How do the quotes on their own equate to Queen being reborn, or Bri and Rog producing a new album of leftovers? They don't.
Come on. This is how tabloids operate. They get a quote or two, if they can be bothered, and if they can't they might make some up and attribute them to an anonymous source or close friend, they strip all context from the situation, and present whatever parts of the quote, in isolation, support in some vague and tangential way the story they have decided to spin.
I don't believe for one minute this is anything to get excited about. We know Bri and Rog have been "going through some old drawers", as they've confirmed the MJ tracks are being looked at, we've had the bonuses on the reissues, the SiS content, the BBC docu etc etc etc. He could easily have been referring to that kind of thing.
I'm happy to be proved wrong. Well, maybe not. I can't see that a MIH2 would be any good at all.

2. Man.... [i]maudlin [/i]shit... i get the notion, but i thought that was a solid album. Considering a song like "My Life Has Been Saved" had been worked on during THE MIRACLE...(and a bout with a potentially fatal virus) i think it was appropriate to revisit it...maybe John was giving something. Songs like YOU DONT FOOL ME and A WINTERS TALE weren't in the vein of desperation either. In MY opinion (*just noting that its opinion)... the only one that shouldn't have been on there was "I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU"... but hell, that made a cohesive album.
Didn't realise so many people ragged on MIH.
3. DEFINITELY spot on... no one uses melody like John Deacon... however, any decent bassist would add a better dimension rather than merely sounding like a "guitarist playing bass" just doubling parts.
4. Hilarious.... U mean u didn't like that whole tagged on bit... (that sounded like a bad 80's song).. ROCK N ROLL NEVER DIE!!.. ??? (there were good tracks on TCR...about 4 +1/2)
5. now THAT is scary... +cast of WWRY u mean?? ((shivers))
6. ...which was SORELY lacking on a certain boxed set i purchased in 1998
8. Slash pounds burgers these days... but yeah... that's the only TONY he should be considering...
(take THAT, Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Theatre, Theatre Wing and Broadway League!)
nvm... i dont think the Tony's apply here... what's a UK equivalent?...
[b] i'm sure larger near complete songs exist. Whatever's been exhibited to the public has been largely parts of the sketching stage. [/b]
Since no one's yet to take a stab at an Album Title (and it'll soon be a forum topic)... how bout a line from Fred.
"Three old Queens just rocking away"
;-)
the following done purely for humor, bad or good.
or...
"Queen XVI" "Queen: It's Not Wembley Again, Be Happy" "The Queen Cache (in)" ... like The Who's THE WHO SELL OUT... "Queen: At Long Last... a Gift to Our Message Board Trolls" "Queen: Unseen/Unheard, Unearthed..." "Queen, At Last!"
(packaged in a file folder) "Property of Queen Productions, Property of Queen Productions"
[b]Yes BOHARDY... it sounds reasonable that this is a misinterpretation... To me it sounded as if the tracks were for the WWRY SEQUEL.... rather than a proper Queen Album.
Still it's an exciting thought. [/b]

It's pure bullshit. We've got... November. Where da f. are songs with Michael Jackson? They said that they're working on these. That was months ago.
Don't believe the words... There won't be any MiH 2.

If they do a "second" made in heaven album, they use some "complete tracks". I think there's a lot of finished but "not so good tracks"... for example Let Me In (Your Heart Again) from 1984. This is a list of complete recording:
Feel Like Let Me In There Must Be More To Life Than This (with MJ) State Of Shock (with MJ) Victory (with MJ) Polar Bear Self Made Man There's an advanced "Works" cassette with Man On Fire, maybe a demo sung by Freddie? Love Kills (different lyrics with Brian and Roger) Rock It (studio version, Freddie on vocal)
