Fair weather friends and their hangers on

nice to see an insider with an outsiders take on things. Hope to hear more from you Mr Bottom :)

Back on topic...so you're saying there are many completed, unreleased tracks from The Game sessions?

Is it fair to say there are probably many other tracks in the same shape concerning other sessions?

yes please, keep the discussion about MUSIC going on. That´s where the most fascinating revelations are showing up ! :)

Re The Game nearly completed / unreleased songs: besides, most probably, Sandbox, are there any additional titles we could discover here?

Haha, **** ****** = John Deacon. Deacy's here, folks!! :)

Interesting stuff about The Game, btw. Not sure how credible the source is, but it would be awesome if that album reached its full potential. I mean, it's great already, but with more stuff of that calibre.....wow! That's proper pre-ejaculate stuff right there :)

Just wish you'd stop the Brian bashing, though. I know it's a discussion forum, but there's just some stuff we don't NEED to know - assuming you're not acting the goat. Not a jibe at you, RUB, but personal stuff should be kept personal.

Back to the music, then......is there any chance you can give a rough track list for how The Game was meant to be?

Cheers!

my own slant on this?
i remember going out to buy "the game" on the day of release and the anticipation of playing it
being totally expunged by the underwhelming feeling that followed EVERY time i played it.

truthfully? i never really got the album at all. there were tracks i liked "rock it" "play the game"
but generally - it was a lazy, basic, effort lacking effort or any of the queen trademarks i'd grown up with.

so, for me...any "new" tracks to surface now can only be an improvement

Sorry for being the pessimist but is this bloke actually for real or what?

Seems to be relatively knowledgeable on band dynamics, but with lines like "BM knows that without Freddie, he's a weak vocalist many of whose songs are about as sophisticated as Status Quo" comes off as petty and resentful of Brian as Freddie wrote more hits but Brian was a fantastic songwriter from Queen to The Game and his songs will live a hell of a lot longer than those of Status Quo. After The Game though? Meh.

The Game a lazy effort? Is that because the album was hugely successful and has some of Queen's largest hits? Not trying to start a debate, just curious why its considered lazy. I'd love to know why a double album didn't come to fruition.

And for the record, I think this stuff is legit because no one from QPL has commented on the topic.

I like how the OP posts fragments of random knowledge, disappears for ages without responding to the buzz he causes, and then comes back nonchalantly with more stuff. No validation to any comments, btw....just more stuff.

C'mon RUB, where are you?

Either feed the thirst for knowledge or cut it out :)

A proven tactic on this board, introduced by our favourite archivist. The jury's still out on RUB though, I hope he follows through.

That's an outrageous thing to say. Because QPL haven't commented on what people on this messageboard are saying it must be true?! Have they ever said anything? So everything is true?

Astounding.

Wow... one of their biggest, far reaching albums. Perhaps if they had been this lazy and basic from the start they really would have been bigger than the Beatles.

thanks for taking my comments out of context. never let the truth get in the way of creating a groundless opportunity to flame someone.
FTR - this is what i actually said:

but generally - it was a lazy, basic, effort lacking effort or any of the queen trademarks i'd grown up with.
