Right, dunno who made you the spokesperson for the "whole community", but i'm pretty sure it's all in your head.
I know i hurt your feelings in the other thread, but it isn't necessary to come in here and act like a cunt.

Please take your delusions elsewhere.
Cheers.

Get outta your bedroom and get some vitamin D.

Monkey piss.

I am not sure what Fairy did to warrant such vitriol. ???

I am not laughing at Fairy, so evidently someone has a wrong viewpoint on the "community".

I mistakenly thought that marathon, Marknow, and Darko were decent posters, rather than thin skinned pricks.

Perhaps moog deserves some shit, but not the offensive crap posted here.

Were the Sex Pistols talented musicians or was "and I only know 3 chords" their official motto?

AFAIR, all or at least most of the songs on the 'Bollocks' album have more than three chords.

Apocalipsis_Darko: I notice I huge personal bias in favour of punk , and Queen can't be more far apart from Punk (That's why you get a lot of harsh replies).

Queen suffered through his history the criticism from the musical press (Lets say Rolling Stone) because during the 70's and 80's Music for them was always about being "authentic" and serious about having some attitude.
And Punk, as well as Reggae, Ska, New wave and others did have that. So they were always praised, while queen was mostly mocked.

Roger was (funny enough) The only queen member more aware of the current trends in music, so he did like punk for a while and all those kind of "attitude" bands (plus springteen, dylan)...

So I think You can't really extrapolate the Queen sound out of Roger's personal preferences (The four of them were quite different in their musical taste over the years)

I have heard a lot of interviews were punk musicians look back and tell that they really admired Queen. But that wasn't the trend back then.

There are people I'm sure I will never hear praise Queen in any way (morrisey, robert smith)

Thom Yorke said it well when he said that He was heavily influenced by Brian playing style but he felt embarrased that people will notice it.

I think what I meant to say is: People here are too focused in being right.

If you like punk? fine, but don't try to make people who doesn't like it think that punk (and sex pistols) is "complex" or likeable.

Man. I Like PIL. They have awesome albums, but you are talking to people who probably are into progressive rock more than anything which is the opposite of punk.

I think it's totally plausible that Lydon was invited to sing SHA. Even Champions (It has a massive chorus).

Sebastian may know lots of facts but no one here in the thread was physically there around that time to confirm the information.

People talk like they know the Queen members and his motivations better than anyone else...

I've seen lots of interviews of pop and rock musician and most of them when they get older tend to get nicer than they were when young.

Which means they praise almost every band out of courtesy.

I mean, we just have to look at Brian and his soft filter when it comes to collaborations.

I grew up in those times were punk was popular, but because I always liked more complex arragements I went towards music like Queen.

So I understand when people see it as some basic expresion because that's how it was shaped and it would be quite arrogant for me to call it as an ignorant statement.

We're Queen Fans.

There is a Queen's punk tribute record floating around for years that I'm sure is the only one literally destroying the songs (except for the fabulous rendition of The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke)...

God. I'm too old for this. "someone is wrong in the internet"

Of course, I can't and would never like to force anyone to like the Sex Pistols or P.I,L..
I'm agree with you. Queen's only punk song, is Sheer Heart Attack live's rendition.
P.I.L. is not punk. Their second record, metal box is not punk, is more strange electronic.
Anyway, Lydon loved kraut rock or Hawkind, nearly to prog rock.
Also you ommited Brian May commentary about John Lydon, being a nice guy with them back in the 70's.
I love any kind of good music. From tango to bossa nova or progressive rock.

Panchgani, any insult from you is boostering my ego. Jelous because you never did an interview with Roger, Mike Moran, Justin Shirley-Smith or anyone from Queen's universe? Still listen May, Taylor and Adam Lambert.
Of course are more than three chord songs in Nevermind's,.... The album included even some solos by Steve Jones.

And..."this is the end, my only friend, the end". Never more contributions into this forum. Almost every reaction is negative, except Sebastian or some exception. So bye bye darlings and listen more John Coltrane's A Love Supremme. Is good for being relaxed.

Actually, they did 2-3 songs with some punk influences. They're far closer to punk than opera (which a lot of people associate them with).

[/QUOTE]

Theoretically, yes. But the evidence shows that SHA only features Rog. As for 'Champions', it could open another can of worms: is the recording footage authentic (as in, were they actually recording the song when they were filmed) or is it a recreation? If it's the former, then Rotten's clearly not there; the latter ... well, can of worms indeed.

And even those who were there aren't necessarily error-proof (Brian's made loads of mistakes about events he directly witnessed, so did Fred, Rog, Mack and John, and probably everyone else, as memory can and does fail).

That doesn't mean, however, that everything should be believed on the basis that 'we weren't there, so maybe it happened.' As someone else said elsewhere, there's a (massive) difference between Fred telling Lydon 'pop up when you can and do some BV's dear' and Lydon's voice actually being featured on one of the songs. The former, I've got no reason to doubt; the latter, I've got plenty (and, of course, I could still be wrong, and if I am, I'll happily admit it).

Seb, you seem to be a little hung-up on the idea that Lydon might be doing BVs on a song off NOTW.

Nobody at any point in this thread has suggested that he did, and I don't think anybody (apart from you?) is even entertaining this idea. I think it was abundantly clear from the start that he was casually invited to do some BVs on something, but this, of course, never actually happened.

Also, re the video of the 'recording' of WATC and MMB, weren't you a staunch proponent of the idea that it was a recreation, all for show, and that they can't have actually been recording anything?

Regardless, I seem to recall it was confirmed fairly recently (maybe by Rhys Thomas) that that footage comes from the Bob Harris stuff, and was shot at the BBC Maida Vale sessions, not the NOTW sessions. That in itself raises the interesting thought that Queen might have recorded an alternate version of WATC for the BBC sessions that was ultimately never used/broadcast.
