I have never seen Highlander. The premise is shit, the clips I HAVE seen look badly acted and low budget. It's really bad that Queen have an association with it to be honest.

This Tour looks absolutely BIG budget. The guy actually works this time with the addition of a great rock set and Tyler
RE: Highlander....it's an old concept of the immortals but introduced as being finite for they've got to duel each other until only one stands (*very cool)
I dislike the original US version AND the make up was very much of its time on Connor Macleod 's aged wife. Still kinda teared me up. If you lend yourself to the belief. ...also the nazi scene and the French duel scene add a lot of weight to the story, silliness/reality
Anyways the international version patches things up far better.
I haven't indulged in any Queen ....uhhh...
No oh wait... i DID go see WWRY (*USA) VERSION and it was terrible. And farking asinine. Best part was hearing some of seldom played tunes being performed live. The worst part was the entire show except that.
Even then. ... I DIDN'T PAY FOR THAT CRAP. My friend's wife bought tix for the fam and her son didn't want to go.
I only went (*keep in mind this was FREE- even transportation) because I thought they'd have planted one of the Freddie statutes/blow ups by the theater (*they didn't)
Ummm....i haven't bought any recent collections of theirs. Didn't RE BUY any boxed sets. ..nor the hot sauce. Just those i guess.
I saw QAL in 14' and regretted it.
I saw QAL in 17' and friggin loved it.
So. ...I'm not hard lining. If it's good, it's good. If it's not then. ..meh

Me too. Come on, I knew half of the actors' lines beforehand, due to previous OST brainwash! LOL

Dysan, where the heck do you work ? :))

I got into Queen via Flash Gordon. I listened to the title track on GH1 when in about 1983 on repeat and then SSOR was directly after it so I got into that as well. Then within about 2 years I had all their tapes. Happy happy days.
@MercurialFreddie - I was very lucky :)

Well, there's a whole bunch of re-releases and compilations I didn't buy, but as far as big and unique items go, I didn't go and see WWRY. I hate musicals, a bunch of people who weren't talented enough to make it in the music industry running around a stage overacting and murdering otherwise good songs.
Love Highlander though, and Flash. By no means the greatest movies of all time, but amongst my favourites nonetheless.
