Seems to be I am the only one that thinks that links on FB and QOL to "daily mirror" and alike are disturbing and upsetting. Every real Queenfan knows that tabloids like this were haunting Freddie til his last days. Roger and Brian more than once stated that they hated those Papers. And now it is no problem to put up links on their official sites and advertise them? For me it is plain proof that they lost every dignity they had and would do anything to sell QAL which is more than discgraceful. Thoughts?
runner You seem to have made two same threads, you might want to delete the other if that's possible.
Yes by accident Cannot find any button to delete. As there is no discussion from the Glamberts I should delete both I assume.

Agree. I don't think it'll stop anytime soon which is is a shame. I guess people like sweetcaroline/CNB don't know the history or care, of the history of Freddie and those tabloids, and only cares that it praises Adam. Thing is, if those tabloids said anything about AL she would not like, I can safely say she would be upset about that. As long as the reviews are good for AL, I guess that's what matters most to her. No way could ever post a link to a less than glowing review after all.
I think the fact that the pages are run by admin's means they probably don't know what went on with those rags. Added to that the Daily Mirror at least is no longer owned/run by the same people, don't know about the Mail. Brian & Roger probably wouldn't have a problem with the Mirror based on that.
I wonder how often they check what's being posted on QOL and Facebook, they may not even know, especially while their on tour in Oz, probably busy and not keeping track. Obviously they don't have any control over what the paper's print.
Just my thoughts.

All tabloids are fucking crap. Put it this way, would you want AL be treated by those shit rags the way Freddie was? I don't think so and I wouldn't blame you.
Many times on QOL links have been posted from tabloids, usually by CNB. I don't think she cares what Freddie went through and being hounded so horribly,, I'm after bringing it up to her before over there in replies to her. Hasn't stopped her from doing it. It's one of the worst things she does, and I dunno why she keeps doing it, except oddly enough the articles are full of praise for Q+AL I assume, other she wouldn't be posting the links to it.
I've been vocal about some things to do with Adam, but even I wouldn't wish him to be treated by the tabloids like Freddie was. Tabloids hounded Freddie right up until he died. Fuck the bloody tabloids then and now. What they do is horrible. What they did to Freddie was horrible...heartbroken really.
PS, don't know about here, but the QOL mod/admin team are well aware of the history of Freddie and the tabloids. Sweetcaroline/CNB is the one who doesn't know or care about it. I'm hoping this thread and posts in it will make her think twice before she does it again. Best of all, if she stops with those links to those sites for good.

Please keep this thread, it makes good points and I fully agree with you about your views in your first post here. Maybe sweetcaroline/CNB will think twice or stop posting links to those sites.
Sorry I must have misunderstood what runner said a bit. I thought he was referring to the links being posted by the actual pages, like the Queen facebook page, not by a member. I personally wouldn't post links from the gutter rags so I see what you mean. Adam's had his fair share of crap from rags at the beginning, not so much lately, in fact they just live for pulling people down so anyone's fair game in their mind, no matter what the subject or who they hurt in the process.
I meant the FB /QOL links primarily thats true but have seen CNB postin those in the QOLForum as well. FOr me this is a real shame. Regardless that Brian and ROger don't run the sties themselves there should shurely be some quality control. Even I would not wish Lamebird the same Freddie went thru with this horrible press lurking everywhere tp get a picture of him on the way to his doctor.Shameful. And shameful to post links (be it here or on FB/QOL)
I have no idea what sweetcaroline/CNB posts on Facebook. I know many times she has posted links to shitty tabloids on QOL.
Thing is, I bet it is the usual glowing review type stuff, because I don't think think she has ever posted a link to a review that wasn't glowing.
I hate the tabloids so much. I hate how they hounded Freddie in his last years. I hate when I see any link to them on any Queen site. Sweetcaroline/CNB if you see this please think before posting links to those sites again. It's not worth a good review for Adam, Brian and Roger. If you knew what Freddie and so many more people went through regarding the tabloids, you might change your mind before linking to such sites.
Up i fully agree and Itink ey crossed another line for shameless self promotion.
I doubt that CNB will ever stop posting her shitty links as she completely runs amok when someone praises her idol.
She is also posting selfmade fanposter for EVERY QAL concert where Lamebird is centre and Bria and Roger hardly noticable.
She is completely obsessed....
I would say.runner 70, that this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black! And you are not obsessed with your ridiculous hatred of Adam and QAL? Personally, I always go for the positive and CNB doesn't bother me a bit. Your constant negativity, however, drives me nuts. I wish you would stop with the "lamebird" just goes to show how childish you are. If you don't like him, go post in one of those many places whereyou say they hate Adam and quit ruining everything over here with your childish prattle!
You're off topic. This thread is about the tabloid links. Maybe you can bring something frutful to the discussion instead of your sad drivel
Ah the AL-bashing reached another low on QZ. Well done. :')
It desn't matter where the reviews are from at this point because pretty much 100% are over the top positive reviews. I haven't seen any poor ones. By the way they all mention ADAM"S AMAZING VOICE!!! Not something you see very often in a band's review.
