Bloody Monopoly.
I love the Robot, but seriously, why didn't they have little figures of the band members - or was that too bloody obvious?

My favorite piece is the wheelbarrow, which unfortunately was discontinued yesterday by Hasbro.
I am devastated, but I rest comfortably knowing that QPL, in their illustrious wisdom, will perform miracles with Hyde Park when they employ the maestros that enhanced The Beatles Hollywood Bowl.

Come now... if Brian and Roger 'redid' the music, it would be called revisionism.
Queenifying something that was not meant to be Queen isn't cool.
I prefer the sound of MBG to something like MIH which collapses under it's own weight of trying too hard.
If the subjective reasoning that something should not be reissued because 'it is shit' came to pass, we wouldn't have a single record on any shelve in any shop.

Yes, it`s a great display of what`s wrong with the band and their ideas nowadays :(

I've always mocked Kiss for their endless taking the piss on the merchandising front to make up for the limited quality of their musical output......Queen have the recorded legacy not to have to scrape the barrel' but the Innuendo teapots, AKOM phone cases, Live at the Rainbow tote bags, Queen vodka, beer etc etc are really testing my commitment to the band.
Remember Kiss' coffin? (and I don't mean a gimmick containing CDs but a genuine funeral casket)... How long before we get a Queen branded 'Who Wants To Live Forever?' line of those?!!

I'm happy to give Queen Monopoly a go.
I'd like to see a Queen Trivial Pursuit more though. I'd love that.

Trivial Pursuit might be fun,but might also be frustrating for me ...
... given that my Queen knowlege and enthusiasm has deteriorated and stagnated over the last 10 years ...
... similarly to how Queen releases had predominantly continued to stagnate into recycled re-releases. Queen is no longer my #1 obsession, and has been supplanted by computer RPG gaming and other old music.

I've taken up tracking down original issues of magazines containing work by Robert Bloch.
it's good and bad. Queen hadn't been a huge concern for a while now.
the last great bits of enthusiasm were the emergence of a quality version of Bowie on COOL CAT and the FM/MJJ "gold mix" of TMBMTLTT
I honestly expected I'd have shat myself if they ever announced a tour. but that hasn't been the case

haha ... no. I simply meant I would have found it UNBELIEVABLE.
Now it's believable, and though it ain't half bad. it's not enough Brian and Roger to be like "wow, QUEEN".
It's still a good effort. Sorta.
Still think they should've done that one off with the best of the best (**well rehearsed this time: cause the tribute concert was precisely that in essence)
the vh1 legends show that was apparently called off.
I'll give him this; Lambert has gotten better at the job. I still feel a little repulsed by him donning the crown at the end of shows. make your own shtick. Freddie was beyond him

I've always dreamed of Queen's versions of MBG tracks, for the original mix really sucks, also if they put to "side B" some demos etc. this might be a worthwhile "reissue"
But I don't believe they'll do so.
They should've done it long ago, when they were pretty young and able to arrange some interesting stuff
dysan · Member since
Why does the mix suck?
Are you confusing it with the 'production'?
Why would Queen 'Queenify' something that was not meant for Queen?

I hope for a re-re-re-release, so it will be on Spotify.
