Can some of the people on this site please explain why Queen are so reluctant to give us releases that would really excite the older fans who have been there from the beginning and newer fans aswell.Iam not interested in going down to the 02 in London to see the concerts with Glambert.Is it not possible to do a proper uk tour ?? Being disabled its too difficult for me to travel that far.I want some good box sets that I can enjoy at home when Queen were Brian,John,Freddie and Roger.Is this to much to hope for?

^don't know.
It's the age old question. I recall being in high school and expecting a boxed set as there was even talk of such a thing from 1998-2003....Then it's all disappeared afterward
There had been skeptical stories in RECORD COLLECTOR magazine as well (*if i remember correctly)

I feel like the anthology will never happen.

I personally believe that they honestly believe that they don't have anything valuable in the archives. I remember Roger saying something like that a bunch of years ago.

I think I will play Half Life 3 sooner than I will listen to the anthology

In the last five years they released three box sets - Rainbow, Hammersmith, and News Of The World.
It ain't Robert Fripp, but it's better than a lot of the older bands are doing.
Perhaps they could've released more, but they've kind of been busy being the biggest band in the world this past year.

@Real Wizard Queen are Not the biggest band in the world right now, they used to be with Freddie but not with an American jerk like Lambert.
Are you for real because you do twitter on some shite on this site.
The REAL Queen fans are those that are ever so faithful to the original four band member that really where Queen, back in the day Freddie, John Roger & Brian.
It is not Queen now more like " Smile" with a dippy new singer.

Who are you to decide who is a real Queen fan or not? People like you really piss me off. Let people make up their own minds. It's got fuck all to do with you regarding the status of Queen fans.

Why would they? They are still coining it doing what they do and that is what it is all about. Frustrating as fuck because I have not spent one penny or invested 3 seconds of my time in anything they have done since Made In Heaven but they are a business.
Unfortunately as implied by others before... people need to die (or there needs to be serious retirements) for 'old' stuff to be released.
And please stop about 'Anthologies'. That came about because of the Beatles Anthologies and was assumed that Queen would do the same. It is in your head.

They sold more albums than any other artist this year.
They just played their biggest US gig two months ago, also watched by millions on TV.
Their biopic grossed over a billion dollars - no other biopic comes close.
The rest of what you wrote is infantile drivel not even worth acknowledging.

He's been parroting those same unsubstantiated talking points with an almost religious fervour for years. Let the kids play in their sandbox.
