Queen were rich and lazy in the 80s

Instead of complaining and bitching constantly about most of Queens work why don't you Just enJoy the few albums you like....I never In my life seen such negative people In my life. Do I love every song and album from them?...No, but I don't constantly bitch about those songs. Don't ever think you're opinion Is the be all end all. Plenty of people bought Magic after watching The Highlander movie and love the music on that album. Of course their not comparing It to SHA like die hard fans are.

@Mike Hunt i agree 100% Vocal Harmony & Brenski come across as bitter lemons always slagging Queen off but i bet you they have the albums at home.
Typical hypocrites of the highest order and they have the audacity to call themselves Queen fans what a joke L.M.A.O !

[/color][/QUOTE] i think you're letting harmless discussion get to you. why shouldn't fans be allowed to voice opinions about whether the music is good or bad?

[/color][/QUOTE]it's not bitching, it's presenting a view - on a discussion forum, because that's what discussion means. lighten up fella. and if you don't have an opinion - because you "don't constantly bitch about those songs" why are you even commenting in this thread? your view offers nothing. the OP actually created something worthy of discussion. it's also a bit hypocritical to complain about perceived bitching - when your two contributions to this thread are the very definition of bitching.

BTW - did you see who backs your views? you've inadvertently placed yourself in undesirable company. you comments appear to have acquired congruence from the only person to be banned from this place 12 times!

This is a discussion forum, I don’t think it is negative as much as pointing out stylistic choices and such. It’s simply true that the band stopped having a rock and roll edge and switched to a more “playing to the masses” pop-type songs. Whether it was lazy or not is up to interpretation, I suppose, but they all talk about how difficult the rock songs were, with multiple harmony layering and the complicated sounds. In the 80s they switched to more simple recording methods. It could be just because they were adapting to the current styles of the 80s (although there were a lot of rock and metal bands still thriving then, so that argument doesn’t really fly) or they were tired of the old rock style and wanted to try something new, or they were lazy and didn’t care to put much effort into things, or they wanted stuff that was easy to play in concert...or....or...or....who knows why? It’s not negative to discuss and ponder it, that’s what this place is for! : )

Follow the money. They were and are shameless musical prostitutes.

Brenski typically causing trouble with his acid tongue again, and for the record Mr Brenski you accused Queen of lazy songwriting with songs "Another One Bites The Dust! & "Crazy Little Thing"
when in essence those two songs gave the band massive number one hits in America so hardly lazy song writing! I rest my case.

Absolutely not true, especially as far as WM and GDML are concerned.

Gerry the troll Isn't the only problem on Queenzone..trust me on that. It's across the board. It's ok not too like the 80's stuff, I even think they were Inconsistent In the 80's, but you got this group of people that are Just as bad as Gerry..always taking the negative view. Should I mention names?..

Wizard, just relax and enjoy the tunes of Brian and Mercury. Remember 20000 posts proves you know best.

Is there anything wrong with American music, Americana or Americanised bands. No.

Does it give a band more broad ranging appeal in the US market, at the top level if they do? Yes.

Are Queens most successful albums in the US , News of the World and The Game more in keeping with with the criteria above. Yes.

Are Queen on balance more suited to UK, Europe , Asia culturally. In many ways yes.

Is the levee going to break in Wolverhampton. Doubtful.

Do they enjoy a tres charmant seaside rendevous in Wyoming.

I'm not being hypocritical if I believe thatbQueen's 70's output was better than most of their 80's work.

Yes of course I have those album's, and based on thirty years of listening to them, I have an opinion. Further more I like Hot Space, but I can like something without thinking it's a great piece of work.

Having opinions on any art form doesn't make someone a hypocrite.

If I want to post my views on a subject that a thread is about, I will. If you want to follow the white washed fandom history in which everything is as good, brilliant, untouchable as everything else your favourite band has produced that's fine. But that view of Queen can only be seen through rose tinted spectacles and that's up to you.

Mike i am not arguing with anyone, Brenski likes an argument or have you not noticed?[/QUOTE]

No, just everyone you don't agree with.

People go on about this Gerry character. Whilst I don't know his/her history, I do know from looking with my own eyes that this forum was dragged down over a prolonged period of time by Brenski and The Real Wizard repeatedly arguing with them. Even with their own forum, they can't stop themselves coming back to argue.

I go way back...let's Just say If someone comes on this site and praises Mercury he or she Is considered a hero worshiper, and 3 or 4 people go after that person. I remember posts here that were totally uncalled for. Hateful towards Freddie for no reason Just because someone said they don't like Queen + Lambert...so It's ok too bash Mercury over and over, but If you dislike what May and Talyor have done post 1991 you get bashed by the same 4 people. As far as rose colored glasses, that doesn't apply to me. I already said they were Inconsistent In the 80's. Peak years being 73 to 77.
