This is why "Queen Live At The Rainbow" should NOT be released!

"Queen Live At The Rainbow" should NOT be released! At least as an individual product! It should be included in an anthology of some sort! I just think that having a product out there with the word "Rainbow" in it hurts Queen's reputation in particular in the U.S. of A....but of course with people all around the world. It is just too much of a reference to gay imagery and terminology for certain people to have to deal with. I am serious here but it would be like calling a release "Lick My Dick". It's just not a good idea. Even if it sells well. It just hurts Queen's reputation even farther.

Exactly how much have you been drinking?


The RAINBOW was a reputable venue.



Anyways. I find the post funny

The world isn`t only USA, dear... in many places of the world the word "Rainbow" hasnt any gay conotation... and anyway is stupid to think they wont release a gig only cause a fucking word... if the people from usa is stupid and homofobic then Rainbow should NOT be released in Usa, like happened with I want to break free video or with a big delay like happened with all the 40 anniversary stuff...
Oh, and sorry if my english isnt the best i`m almost drunk and i barely can speak my own mother lenguage haha

Quick....someone tell Ritchie Blackmore not to name his band....

Oops, too late, nevermind.

I guess people in America never buy things by gay acts. That's why Village People sold nought and no-one ever remembers any of their songs .Oh wait...

Not to mention Elton John, etc.

OMG. Don't anyone mention "Rainbow - Live at the Rainbow" incase the idiot explodes.....

Lick My Love Pump did fairly well in the States so I don't think there's an issue. In fact, it's a ridiculous notion.

Well I don't know about you guys but I would totally buy a Queen release called 'Lick My Dick'.

Prince's Purple Rain has outsold any Queen product (in terms of global sales) including GH.

Seriously, this thread may be the stupidest ever, together with the HS/Miracle one.

Ridiculous

If someone would think these things about a name of a venue, then they are not too bright.

The rainbow flag is used as a symbol of Gay Pride (and not only in the US).

Any link should only be a good thing.

However, should any backward cunts from the dark ages pick a copy up and scream because they think they may have caught AIDS from reading the title, then I would doubt that Queen would want such people as fans.

My own opinion on this thread is that the starter thinks too much about these things and is probably grappling with his/her own sexuality.

(come in, the water's fine)

Rainbow warior

Not at all! Lol! I think it is great! I just think it is a terrible p.r. move. Big difference! Don't attack the messanger! Maybe they could release it but do it under a different title. Maybe something like "Queen Live At The Mole Hill" or something. I would just like to think it would have a chance selling in the U.S. of A. (and wherever elese) without hurting Queen's reputation.

BUT with that said. I think an anthology that featured the first filmed Queen concert would be a fantastic feature. Especially in particular if it could only be found on that anthology. It is still the first Queen filmed concert...right? Sigh.

Iron Maiden, Genesis and Thin Lizzy are just 3 examples out of many who have released a "Live at the Rainbow' product.

Anyway... what's wrong with being gay?! ;-)
