The news, and the new tracks at the convention this year

Any info about the things played by Greg this year?
Any info about their release?

nope none
did he play any tracks last year? didnt heard a thing about it

Its just Jacky said there would be some new stuff played this year by greg...

Yeah, what's the goss?

Come on folks!

There must be some news, no?

I heard that Greg did in fact play some new demos - among others an instrumental jam which became Coming Soon later. (edited)

Okey doky. They were mostly backing tracks and early versions off the top of my head I can think of Great King Rat, Brighton Rock and a very early version of Coming Soon which didn't sound anything like it. The next DVD will be Milton Keynes, followed by Houston '77 (only joking).

And finally it looks like a Made In Heaven type album will be released using Freddie vocals that no-one has ever heard before.

Seriously, vocals that we have never heard before? that begs the question why didn't they use them the first time round instead of going back to Freddie's solo material.

Still if that's the case, or in fact any new studio album comes out I'm happy!

That's what I heard. I seem to remember Fight From The Inside with a different Roger vocal playing as well. The new video for the I Was Born to Love you Japanese version played as well, featuring a band peformance from Wembley 86 and Freddie orginal video for the song cut and pasted DoRo style by Simon Lupton to be fair he only had a day to do it. This will be on Greatest Flix III.

On a more personal note I was disappointed by lack of solo videos playing during the day on the big screen and hearing Crazy Little Thing Called Love 15-20 times on the trot for the Rock and Roll Dancing instruction. A bit more thought would have enabled someone to alternate with Man On The Prowl or just play some proper rock and roll like Little Richard. Not play the same song over and over again it drove me up the wall. And someone turn the heating on in Lunars it was fucking freezing in there all weekend.

So if a MIH type album was to be released, who is gonna fill in for John??

Pee-wee Herman!!! No...? *huff* Fiiiiinnnnnneeeeee....

If there will be new MiH kind of songs, I think Brian or Roger will play the bass, or maybe they'll ask Neil Murray?

"that begs the question why didn't they use them the first time round instead of going back to Freddie's solo material."

Does it? How many tracks did they use for the MIH album that had been demos? IABD and LML. The others were tracks from Fred in the last sessions and of course the tracks that were made into Queen versions.
The reason for the Fred solo stuff being turned into solo versions were because of Brian's love of those songs. And because they fit in with the MIH album.

Read his latest interviews and you'll see that. The other tracks go without saying.

Peace,
Adam.
