the point isn't whether or not bands get bottled etc, it's whether YOU as a human being accept that other bands can be good.
I saw queen on the same tour (at MK), me and my mate managed to get very close to the stage during the Teardrops' set, and we were part of the small number throwing stuff....I managed to throw a meat pie down the "bell" of the horn being played. (i'm not proud of this now) - Copey introduced every song as a "classic" or a "gem" - to their eternal credit they ran the gauntlet of everything throwable and completed their set.
...and you know what? after that gig I went out and bought BOTH Teardrops' albums, and have kept buying Cope's stuff to this day - because unlike you, my ears are not closed to other options.
they may not be to everyone's taste, but i regard Copey as one of this country's lost treasures.

you really are a dolt!!! (with an "L" - you clot)

And you... actually support such behaviour?

Brenski: Here is the proof of Queens world wide sales which you said was only 200 million sales. now who's the doit.!

One of the world’s most prolific groups, Queen released 16 number one albums, 18 number one singles, and achieved over 300 million record sales. One of their most loved hits, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ stayed at the top of the charts for nine weeks and their performance at the Live Aid concert in 1985 is widely regarded as a seminal moment in rock history.

more proof you're an idiot who can't read:
you started off by saying 300mn albums, now you say 300mn records. all my previous posts cite ALBUM SALES as less than 200,000,000. have you not realised that YOU just pasted a paragraph that says "RECORD SALES" ????
RECORDS = albums, singles and EPs - you fucking idiot. My figures were ALBUM SALES - go back, re-read what i posted, then come back and apologise for arguing a point that was wrong. Or, alternatively, continue to prove that you're an illiterate belligerent fool ....i think WE ALL know what choice you'll make.
just for once admit you are wrong.
and why are YOU still typing "doit" ????

Solid proof sir. Might wanna list the source next time, but what the heck!

Record sales are still albums even though we live in a CD world and Queens sales are officially 300 million maybe more now.
So you rightly should be ashamed of spoiling The Teardrops set at Leeds.
I would never heckle or physically throw anything on to the stage as i am a well behaved Queen fan!
Queen at St James Newcastle was Magnificent and i was at the front soaking up all the Mercury & May magic!

Here is the proof that Queen only sold 200 million records:

Indisputable proof.

you still don't get it...300m total sales. album sales = less than 200m, singles = 100m+
ps "album" is a collective noun to describe vinyl , cassettes and CDs - all in long-player format

c'mon have the decency to admit you're wrong.

i did no such thing...again learn to read - i was at MK.

PINGFAH: If you were an ardent Queen fan like i am then you would know the bands impressive world wide sales.
It seems no one is concerned with Queens amazing track record, they sure do leave other artists out in the cold,
apart from The Beatles.

I like a couple of Pink Floyd songs, but compared to Queen they are very boring. I get so ****** tired of their depressive songs with loooooong synth chords. I bought that best of album called "Echoes" many years ago. What a mistake that was. I expected them to have made more catchy songs during their career
[/QUOTE]
See, this is an actual criticism of the band and their music that someone can actually respond to. If Pink Floyd isn't your cup of tea, that's all right. For me and a lot of other people, music is about a lot more than catchy hooks, and Pink Floyd's lengthy, drawn-out piece are often brilliant works of music. If that's not for you, whatever, although I would advise listening to an actual album or two as opposed to a greatest hits album so you can listen to the music the way it was initially intended to be experienced.

That said, this thread is a good example of why most fan forums suck. It's possible to be a big Queen fan and still really like a lot of other bands. Like I said earlier, Queen is my favorite band, but I take massive enjoyment from the works of PF and a load of other artists. There's such a huge world of music out there, especially with the Internet making all of it so easily accessible; refusing to enjoy more than one band seems like a waste of time.

And, it cannot be stressed enough, YOU DO NOT GET TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE IS A "FAN."[/QUOTE]

I have nothing against Pink Floyd. It's just a band I happen to not enjoy that much

Haven't they had 3 different frontmen? Sid Barrett, Gilmour and Waters? Correct me if I am wrong. Imagine if Queen changed lineups like that. The Queen fans would not be happy. But I guess Freddie has a bigger impact as a singer in Queen compard with the less impressive Pink Floyd vocals.

Someone mentioned that certain Queen fans can not acknowledge other good bands. I doubt there exists many people that can not enjoy and respect any other band than Queen. That would be a bit sad and narrow minded. I listen to a lot of different music, but to me Queen is a different league to the rest.

Cmon Brenski 300 million sales is a combined total amount of everything within a bands career,
albums, singles etc........

Abba has around 250 million world wide sales also.
