Well, they were truly being ironic with the title weren't there?
I like the little animation that they did, I felt LMLTNT was always an underrated song which deserved more exposure. Plus it's nice that it focuses on a gay relationship. I think that's the first official connection with Freddie's art... although I don't really recall all the Made In Heaven films, maybe there was some of that there.
I'm not a believer in 'If you don't like it, shut up'... this is a forum, a place where we can respond with our honest thoughts. I'm more of a believer in 'If you don't like it, torrent the bits you do and do buy it'. Hurt them that way. It's not fair to expect Queen/Freddie fans to buy the same product for the 5th time... without any extra motivation. The NOTW boxset I felt provided enough extra motivation... I still love their alternative album they made, it's great. Why they don't do that more, I don't know. Could have made an alternative Mr. Bad Guy album!
Also, I think it interesting how in the film, which they're happy to go on about all the fucking time, they make out the Mr. Bad Guy era was terrible and how creatively stumped Freddie was at the time... but now when they're trying to make some dollar, they're trying to say it's most fantastic solo album since sliced bread.
Also, I bet Freddie wished he never bloody said that 'Never make me boring' quote... the amount of times they're fucking wheeled that out over the years, jesus.

I remember a couple of months ago, that somebody says that Rudi Dorezal was working on a doc of Freddie with all the interviews that he did to him. That could be a very interesting add to this collection, but I don't think that they will be doing that. Doro stop working with Queen Productions long time ago[/QUOTE]
That was me. Never got an good answer on that one..

I couldn't agree more with brians wig. No Live Killers 40th, no Hammersmith '79, no special boxset. Instead of that, we get this.
Someone once said "if you expect nothing from Queen releases, you won't be dissapointed.

Next year we'll porbably get another Wembley 86 release. We're due another one, to be honest.

FRACK MIAMI!!! THIS IS RUBBISH...
FREDDIE'S SONG WITH A NEW VIDEO WAS DEDICATED TO BARBARA VALENTIN!!!! NOT TO A GAY LOVER!!!!
THE NEW BARCELONA ORCHESTRATION IS A PIECE OF SHIT. ALL PERSONS WITH A LITTLE RESPECT TO FREDDIE, A SADLY PASSED AWAY PERSON, AND MIKE MORAN MUST THINK THIS.
OTHER THING....THE INVISIBLE HERO ON LIVE AID WAS TRIP KHALIF....NOT MIAMI AS THE FILM WANTED TO MAKE US BELIEVE.
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, I WILL GIVE YOU ALL MY FUCKIN QUEEN COLLECTION...
FOR GODS SAKE...POOR FREDDIE...NEVER BORING.....WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!!!

Not quite. The Barcelona 2012 orchestral version, yes. But the Mr. Bad Guy album and the tracks on the new compilation are all re-mixed, and the music videos have also been restored.[/QUOTE]
We'll receive new mixes of 'Love Kills', 'She Blows...' and 'Great Pretender' in addition to 'Mr Bad Guy' album.
Also there will be 'new' orchestrated single versions of 'Golden Boy' (5:12) and 'How Can I Go On' (3:58).

Hi CMI. The excellent 'Queen Chronology' book and other resources such as QueenVault' confirm that Paul Vincent plays guitar on the originally released version of 'She Blows Hot & Cold'.
However, answering my own original question, the press release for 'Never Boring' infers that the version included here is one of the edits with Brian on.
[/QUOTE]
With all respect to Adam Unger, I must confirm that his notes on a lot of tracks on his QueenVault site are FAR from accurate.
In this case he simply taken this (incorrect) info about Paul Vincent from 'Solo Collection' book, it's not his own investigation...
BTW, I played B-side/Extended mix and 'alternate version' mix simultaneously (one in Left, second in Right channel) and they perfectly matched.
It's impossible to record identical takes even by the same guitarist, doesn't it? I'm not even talking about two different guitarists.
...and now new press release OFFICIALLY confirms my conclusion.

One of the worst things is that they didn't include more material on the bluray. They could add making of from the videos and more interviews with freddie
I'm confused about the track listing for the Never Boring CD.
Man Made Paradise appears twice in the box set (on the Mr Bad Guy & Never Boring CDs) yet the track is missing from the standalone version (replaced with Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow).
Subtle difference to try and get us to buy both versions or sloppy error?

Ah....ok, great stuff. Really it all stems (again!) from erroneous info being given out on official releases that Brian does not play on the Made In Heaven b side version. Good that this is clarified now.

Wasn't it just based on the film she starred in?

No mention if the videos will still have their 5.1 mixes from the 2000 box set.....?

I am one of those ass-hole Queen fans that has to buy every release, no matter what.
However, looking at this repackaging of Fred's solo stuff - which is being released again, I think I'm going to have to pass on this one.
I have this a bunch of times over.
Maybe if the blu-ray has a Dolby Atmos mix (a la Beatles: Abbey Road), then I'd make the plunge.
Somehow, I don't think they're going to spend any extra money to do that.

Mr. Bad Guy -> new mix = purchase (vinyl) for sure!
