Brilliant, this will be the first time i have got my hopes up over anything queen related. I was impressed with "these are the days of our lives", so hopefully this won't disappoint.

Very interesting!
And good question, will the dvd have the same content as the Blu-Ray?
In this respect, does anybody where to buy the Japanse TDOOL dvd-version?

Great stuff!
Only thing is that I wish they'd used another picture for the cover than (again) Freddie with a moustache.. He only had it for about 5 years of his life and the general public associates this with two things; The (shamefull) Eighties and Homosexuality.
Not something to advertise from a promotional point of view... Freddie was so much more than that.

I completely agree. I don't have any problem in particular with his appearance from that era, but I really wish it wasn't just what he's automatically represented as. It's pretty rare that any promotional material with him on it isn't him from the 80's. So yeah, I'm probably more bothered by the fact that they seem to represent his entire life and being with a (comparatively lacking, music wise) fairly brief period. But yeah, I guess it's the iconic version of him. His more subtle 70's persona definitely needs to be acknowledged through official releases sometime soon..

I wonder if or when we're gonna get a teaser trailer?

That's because then you have all of the people who that it is gay to have long hair and they certainly looked weird as fuck in their first decade as Queen which I love. Especially since they became more normal looking and not as rail thin overtime...and more conservative looking. That should not be too read into by the way. It is just there seems to be more divirsity there with the imagery.

Freddie had a more unusual and alien look than David Bowie in his Bo-rap costume days, in my opinion.
I often wonder why people in the pop cultural world have never pointed out how really other worldly he actually looked in those times, they often talk about look in rock and fashion but totally miss out on that very striking and unique look Freddie had.

Oh come on - he looked like every other long haired rock singer! the difference being he could sing and was a great star. Bowie looked far more other worldly, but that was 3 years previously - a life time in the early-mid 70s.
Also, I always see the name of Rhys around and never paid it much attention as I just thought him another chancer who had lucked into a job at QP due to B&R being lazy - his CV? Being on Mastermind with a score that I beat at home. But this week it clicked - he was the funny one in Nathan Barley. So he's ok by me now and I shall reassess his output for Queen. I like him.

P.S. just read the press release again - why the fuck interview Matt Lucas? Seriously? Why not drop Peter Straker a line and get some funny tales off him?

Freddie Mercury
“The Great Pretender”
Rhys, whose extensive scouting for lost material turned up a copy of the band’s first TV appearance among the belongings of late comedian Dick Emery, brings to the light Freddie’s earliest filmed interview from 1976 unearthed in Australia and another unseen interview from 1976 filmed by NBC in the USA.
[/QUOTE]
'Killer Queen' from Top Of The Pops (7th Nov 1974) was found in Dick Emery's collection. That wasn't Queen's first TV appearance.
Or was another rare Queen performance found in the same collection as the Top Of The Pops one?

so you asking for more accurancy from these guys ... haha. Seven Seas of Rhye or Killer Queen does it matter, not really . Freddies earliest known interview is now the beacon theatre tv news, that is early 76 (correct me if i am wrong here). The unearthed Australian interview is actually from 1977, as news of the world album was not released in 1976. The "never seen " FM interview shot during the IWBTLY video, was partly shown on MTV Japan and MTV US at that time. "Experts"... yes of course.
