confirmed... no GVH 3 this year!

What's the big deal about GVH3? We have it all on VHS already... same old stuff. How could any fan trade in NEW concert material in favour of OLD videos? Would you trade in new studio material for GVH3 as well?

Guitar Hero, you are absolutely right. For me, there is no comparison between getting a live Queen DVD such as Milton Keynes and a retread release such as GHV3. In fact, GVH3 might be the first major Queen related release that I choose not to purchase. It's only really the Innuendo videos and No One But You. You've got to be kidding yourself if you dearly want the Made in Heaven short films on DVD. If this thing somehow gets padded out to two discs, then that is exactly what we'll be getting: padding. Something new and fresh and exciting such as MK '82 is far superior to me than GVH3, which was released on video only a few years ago. And that reaked of "scrapping the bottom of the barrel".

Maybe because over the years VHS wil disapear, the quality of VHS wil be poor as years go by and the amount of VCR recorders will be less over the years.

DVD sound and image will be brighter and longer presurved over the years.

And to me i don't use my VCR any more, unless i want to make a copy from a VHS to DVD, then i use my VCR.
And i think many people are doing that so i a few years there will be more DVD's than VCR's and maybe thats the reason people wants to see GVH III on DVD.

Shane, do you like dvd extras? GVH3 will be full of them, I'm sure. Making of videos, interviews, concert footage, etc. The hope for the next release is to have stuff that covers MIH better than it was in the Champions video. Innuendo also deserves more coverage, although I'm not sure if we'll be told much, the DOOL video "making of" can be tough viewing.

Anyway, there will be videos on the first disc that no-one cares for, e.g. AOBTD98remix, WWRY-5ive. But because of the good videos and the extras it'll be, IMO, the best of the three. Purely on content.

Peace,
Adam.

Only time will tell if DVD/DVDRs will be good enough from a posterity point of view.

I've transferred all my rare Queen vids onto DVD, but there's NO WAY i'll ever ditch my tape masters. I've heard horror stories that a lot of the cheap brand DVD-Rs are only lasting a few months and even some DVDV films from 1998-99 are starting to 'rot'!

Good point, I hadn't even mentioned the DTS 5.1! A nice extra.

Peace,
Adam.

i hope Roger and Brian do their commetaries together for the videos on GVH 3. i think the commentary suffered on GVh 2 as a result of them recording it separately.

I was watching GVH II last night, and the commentary sounds so spliced together. I agree, next time, they should record it together. It makes it more interesting, too, to have Brian and Roger responding to each other.

I wonder if they will include Living on My Own and Driven By You on the DVD version of GVH3. Commentaries by Roger and Brian on those two, especially Living On My Own, would be interesting.

i think their recollections of IGSM will be interesting... Brian wasn't there for TATDOOL.

More excellent points! The commentary stuff was really funny on GVH1. GVH2 was okay, but like folk have said, it suffered from not being recorded together. I too hope they both record a commentary together and also to hear those comments on LOMO!

Peace,
Adam.
