Looking forward to hearing yet again about the ten second clips of the Mexican concert videos that you continue to hoard.

Have fun!

Would be nice to get some espionage happening in order to liberate those Mexican concert videos that fan club doesn't even legally have a right to hoard ;-)

I dont want to sound rude or anything like that, but I have met a few people from the mexican fan club and it wasnt a nice experience, they seem to classify people as "real fans" and "fake fans" and they used to talk a lot about how nobody deserved to have the mexican leg of the tour...
Perhaps it was just bad luck (I refuse to believe that all so-called mexican fans are like that)... I live in Mexico, so I know a lot of those guys...

Anyway, I hope people will have a good time!

Ah the Mexican videos will probably be hoarded for centuries to come by these guys.

Hey winterspelt I believe I know you from another forum :)

From XRD right?
X nut?

Yep! I believe we talked about these Mexican videos at XRD.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the fan club. I wonder if anyone here at QZ had a similar experience?

As a personal rule if I don't have anything good to say I usually keep quiet but in this case I think I can make an exception after 10+ years of being a grateful visitor to Queenzone.
Francisco Arellano from the "Mexican Queen Fan Club" is the kind of guy that would hoard even a newspaper clip just to feel important and better that anyone else. I think I met him back in 1985 or maybe 1986 and I vowed (just like Queen!) to never see him again...low end of the food chain really. Huge inferiority complex. He's got this persistent feeling of being inferior to the rest in some way. It is connected with a shortcoming in his physical appearance, education and social status (Did I say that out loud? Ooops!)
I was born and raised in Mexico but (thankfully, thankfully, thankfully) now Canadian and living in Canada for a bunch of years now. So I know perfectly the caliber of his type, so don't expect this little one to start acting like a grown up as he will keep taunting people with little bits and pieces of the Mexican gigs just to feel like a hero.
Just my 2 cents

Thanks for sharing your experience Garden Lodge. Very interesting!

They can hoard it all they want. Wasn't there a discussion a couple months ago about owners of rare recordings owe nothing to other queen fans??

*owing

I remember reading all those long posts about collectors and hoarders and such. I limited myself to read and enjoy the fight from General Admission! I personally own a lot of material (I'm 41 and I've been a fan since I was 11) and I've been collecting since. I've met privately some key people in the Queen environment but I cannot say that I have anything unique or rare with the exception of those 7 or 8 items that were autographed to me directly. If I had anything I would've give it away for everyone to see or hear....
But these guys aren't even collectors because they don't trade or share. Again, I would say this is just poking people for the fun of it. That's all..

I think it's quite selfish to keep a rare recording to yourself knowing that other Queen fans would love to hear. There are good reasons (trading) for hoarding for a few years but there is no justification for hoarding for decades.

Least we got tons of audio/video available on this site!

Q NUT: "Yep! I believe we talked about these Mexican videos at XRD"
Yes, we talked about them a long time ago... Nice to see you here!

We are not talking about that, also we are not asking them to release the shows, we are just talking about the fact that certain members of the mexican Queen fan club pretend to be "real fans" just because they have the mexican gigs (something I dont believe at all)... And their reaction towards another fans.
