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

Well Brians love of the tracks or not it still seems rather odd not to use new material if it was available, and if I remember correctly at the time we were told that was it, nothing else excisted that could be used.

Also until we know what tracks they are taking about it's a bit premature to be saying the other fitted with the MIH album, but I just think much as I love the album I would have been keen to hear a new track with Fred on rather than two versions of It's a beautiful day, and IWBTLY.

or another version of WWRY

Greg Brooks began archiving all the Queen sessions after Made In Heaven, so they now have a better awareness of what is available and what can be used. MIH would have consisted of randomly going through old tapes to find stuff that could be used rather than actually 'knowing'.

Mnay thanks for all the info Banquo. Just one question - what was actually said about this new Made In Heaven-style album? How was it mentioned?

As the next Queen venture, it seems that is the way Brian and Roger are thinking. Although it was mentioned don't expect anything for a few years the WWRY musical remains the driving force.

All the tracks played were spoilt as well by Greg saying 'Property of Queen Productions' every 20 seconds during the songs, this was the only way Jim Beach would allow them to be played.

Thats stupid, who cares if people bootleg the songs.

The quality sucks, so the fans who want to hear it will buy the box set after all.
or download it off the internet when they finally released it.

In some way, I think it's kind of sad if B+R release a new Queen album by using old Freddie outtakes. He's been dead for almost 13 years now and I think it's a bit lame to release ANOTHER album with 'new' tracks, almost 10 years after this first one....

On the other hand, I'm happy they're actually thinking about doing something new (though I'd much rather see a solo RT album, or a BM+RT collaboration album under the Queen name), instead of re-re-recycling old stuff or promoting a new version of the WWRY musical in Zimbabwe....

Think of a drunk englishman. and there you have his voice

Contact me if you want to hear it Hangman,

I could edit out the 3 seconds of Greg Brooks of all the songs and paste them all together to a big Greg file!

btw, If anyone has recorded it send it to me aswell, i want to hear Gregs voice again

For me the most likely explanation for not including any existing Freddie vocals in MIH is that they are shit. Therefore (and for many other reasons) I wouldn't be too excited about a MIH-type album. BM and RT are alive and kicking, so either record new songs or give it up.

I would be very excited, cause I really love every single song on MiH, especially Born to Love You.

But I won't get my hopes op, cause i'm 90% sure this project won't happen

"BM and RT are alive and kicking, so either record new songs or give it up."

I agree. Demos are demos for a reason. We can't expect high quality in 2004 for something that was discarded over a decade ago.

Tiny bits of Freddie's vocals back from the trash bin? Who needs this? Come on...

* suddenly my faces turns red an unrecognizable *

WE WANTSSS IT!!! WE LOVES PRRRRECIOUSSSS!!!

* back to normal *

Sorry about that. :)

Cheers,

I just think that WHATEVER they'll decide to do- some certain ppl will say "oh come on- not that, sth else, it's gonna be crap, etc..." Even if they did "sth else"- would be the same... Let's wait- we have a good training in that!:) -and than judge the product...
Personally- I'm thrilled! No f**king Britney or seasonal karaoke singer Williams, not another pointless version of WWRY, not musical in suahili but at least some possibility of decent stuff: milton keynes, Hammersmith, new album... I was always the first one to criticise Queen for what they were doing recently, but... Shit, I really want to be proud of'em again!!!!(taking about the present, that is...) And I really, really want to see this stuff out...!!!
