Poll: Did you buy Forever?

I also bought the Deluxe CD, after hearing these new tracks, esp. LMIYHA I just wanted to hear them uncompressed in the best possible quality.

A pity that terrible fate met TMBMTLTT. It is really a standout ballad from Mr Bad Guy and my favourite Freddie solo tune (along with the title track) which I listen from time to time. In my opinion, Freddie believed that it was worth working on - when you consider how many attempts and forms this track had. It was worked on during !! 5 !! recording sessions (it is really curious bearing in mind Brian's recent quote that Freddie tossed things off).

I was really looking forward to it and it's a shame that the track was treated that way. Why didn't they reworked his solo version. Does Jackson estate hold exclusive rights to the 1981 duet tapes ?

^ MercurialFreddie, it wouldn't surprise me if they did own those rights. After all, they can throw their big-arse weight around and demand Freddie's good vocals are muffled to insanity to balance out Jackson's piss-poor ones. Also, $$$!

I digitally downloaded "Let me in your heart again"
also i did order the new album but cancelled as i believe it was a pointless release for us fans who already have all the other tracks on the albums.
i do not buy everything that now gets released as i believe Queen productions are getting very lazy as to what they put out.[/QUOTE]


So why did you order it in the first place??

I didn't want to spend my own money on yet another compilation, after all I did not bother with Deep Cuts or Absolute Greatest. But I do think LMIYHA is a wonderful track, so I asked for it for Christmas off me mum.

yes i agree "Let me in you heart again" is a fantastic track and is saturated with Freddies magic, who could resist?

Of course the Michael Jackson estate owns the rights to his vocals, and QP has to ask for the permission to use them. That goes without saying.

No-one is forcing QP to use Michael's vocals, but obviously they wanted to make a few more sales by doing so.

The final product naturally has to be approved by the Michael Jackson estate, but again no one forced QP to use THIS version of the song. According to Roger's recent interview (which is the best source we have!) they presented only two (2) alternatives for the MJ estate to choose from.

Vocal harmony: listen you fucking wanker i said i cancelled my Queen forever cd but it still arrived so i sent it back.
i do NOT have to justify myself to you or anybody else, so fuck right off, your stupid nonce.

Gerry, stop being such a miserable fucking prick, and cut the bullshit. I don't know what kind of life you lead to have an even more disgusting personality than our Canadian Prime Minister, but you are such a hateful man in bad need of a vacation away from QZ and a trip to get counselling for your personal issues.

Seriously, get help man.

Gerry let me make something very clear to you. After posting this, your latest insult you had better hope we never meet son.

I just bought it now after weeks of deliberating. That Jackson track actually has the best guitar on it of the "new" tracks.

On the upside of this one thing that frustrates me is the general publics lack of knowledge of how good and diverse some of the Queen album tracks are. So putting out a compilation including Long Away and Drowse and Lily of the Valley is actually pretty cool. If some casual buyers buy this and get into the real Queen albums as a result its a good thing.
