A bleak, desolate wasteland, where no sun ever shines, and no rain ever falls... and the entire homosapien population is enslaved by a race of giant fire-breathing ants.
we'd be two crap cover singles, loads of shite adverts and plenty of seriously cheesy interviews less. hmmm, now i wonder whether i should have just stuck to the s club 7 fanbase...
You are effectively already living in a world without Queen.
Queen are no more.
Freddie has gone.
Music is now crap with nothing "new" to shine out of the darkness.
What would the world be like if Queen were still here?
We'd have had at least 4 new albums, a tour or two and the knowledge that they'd be working on something new right now.
I miss Fred. I miss having something "new".
I'm sure every other fan who were around when the band still existed as a working band also miss that.
Yes, we still have their back catalogue, but the world does not now have Queen.
That's why a boxset of demos and unheard songs is important to us. The chance to hear something "new". The chance to hear Freddies voice singing something we've never heard before...
It's even been six long years since we had anything new from Brian & Roger (46664 doesn't count). The world is a sadder place for the loss.
In the darkness there is a light behind you, but there are no torches to guide your way.
Okay, so now you're all depressed, go and play one of the best songs ever written - "Too Much Love" (with Freddie singing it), and by the end of the song you'll all feel so much better and uplifted.
When I bought MIH, I didn't listen to this song until it was forced upon me as a single. I needed to know that there was something out there that I'd never heard before, and the best way was to possess it but not hear it.
When I heard the single, it was like a light shining out of the darkness. That feeling of hearing something new, even though it was only a few months after the album came out and I'd heard new stuff then.
I need Queen. It's an addiction, and the only satisfaction of something "new" I get these days are the surround mixes - old songs yes, but new life, hearing things never before heard.
Waiting , so waiting for the next one....
