NEW QUEEN ALBUM AND ROGER SOLO WORK OUT THIS YEAR!!

>Rod Stewart, Michael Jackson and Andy Gibb or so, that means that we need about 6 tracks with only Freddie vocals or a few with Brian and Roger on it like the early days.

No chance - the amount they would have to pay over in royalties would be prohibitive.

Absolutely no interest in this whatsoever. New song or not.

Getting thing done. Off the countryside today to record guitars with Brian May. William Orbit.

Hummmm ... why not? If it´s already mixed and mastered, artwork almost ready... and we keep in mind this won´t be a pressing of 1 million copies, then ... I guess it could be possible.

But once again, as I said above, will cross fingers for a December 2014 release date, hopefully ;P[/QUOTE]

Because it's virtually unheard of via a major record label - assuming it's going to be released via Universal and not independently. They have to promote the album and one would think arrange gigs to coincide. Only weeks ago Roger had reportedly gone back into the studio, so it seems unlikely that it would already have been mastered and even less likely that artwork is finished. I bet you it isn't released this year.

Why you're so negative?

Negativity doesn't come into it - Roger's album won't be released in September.

Rogers's album will be released in September but you won't know it;-)

May I be the first to know?

I'm awesome and I know it.

Any new product would be fantastic especially lead vocals recorded by the late, great Freddie and the band with the original line-up, i.e. No guest bass or Adam Lambert or Paul Rodgers. Queen means so much to so many people.
If this is not another false dawn; Brian, Roger, and John we look forward to hearing some new quality sounds with the Queen signature. In my eyes you have surpassed the nostalgist's favourite band the over-rated Beatles, and are the template from which today's musicians take their measure.

Brian said, "a Queen release". Why do so many people assume it to be an album or single for that matter.

It could be The Rainbow DVD or even a DVD of one of last years shows.

If it is a "new" album why couldn't it be released towards the end of the year. Doesn't anyone remember in the 70's when ANATO and ADATR were both finished only a month before the release dates and SHA was still being mixed the day of it's press release and then remixes again afterwards. So an album finished in July could easily be released before the end of the year.

Of course the ballads album is still a possibility, and it could be that which Brian is talking about.

I wish to god that a live release would happen that is not related to a film...AND a new studio l.p. with new tracks. The thing is it seems indicated by Brian that a "couple" of new songs have been done which by definition means "two" but on the bright side people sometimes mean that to be a "few" things. Who knows? There also seems to have been discussion of a follow up to the 1997 compilation "Queen Rocks" that would be a compilation of ballads. The title "Queen Forever" has been floated around a few years. I think that title is great but is something that should be done a few years from now after another new studio l.p. or few are done...and with various artists. Otherwise I would love it if they also re-recorded classic Queen songs with guest artists. Beyond all of that I think that they should be doing new solo studio l.p.s and touring behind them. I thought that Brian May had done new recordings (plural) with Kerry Ellis but there seems to be no word on any new studio l.p. on that front...even though they are touring right now....to be continued...

Looks like he means the Fred/Jackson stuff, his latest tweet.....
"@DrBrianMay: Great evening with @WilliamOrbit working with some Queen/Freddie/Michael Jackson tapes. Exciting, challenging, emotionally taxing. But cool."

Two previously unreleased Queen tracks featuring Freddie Mercury and guest appearances from Michael Jackson are likely to be released this year (2013), it has been revealed.
There had been plans in the Queen camp to put together a whole collection of various previously unreleased recordings featuring Mercury, though those plans have seemingly been dropped after Roger Taylor and Brian May decided there were not enough complete demo recordings to justify a full album.
However, it seems that the two collaborations with Jackson are suitable for a public airing, and it’s been reported that the tracks have now been cleared by the Jackson estate for release sometime under the Queen banner.

I think that it is about a collection of unpublished titles (various sessions 80 especially), of worked again demos, and duets (michael Jackson / rod steward). The album would be produced in partnership with William Orbit or only for the opportunity(occasion) of a single: STATE OF SHOCK?

A new album would be the biggest musical event of the year. For me, the album would be in preparation since 2011. Remember the contradiction between Brian and Roger concerning a new unfinished album of demos with freddie in 2011.
