Being a Fan of Queen

I have been a fan of Queen's since approximetley 1980, so that's about 24 years, and I am proud of it too! Reading so of the others about how long they've been a fan of Queen's makes me feel old!

Waynes world came out when i was three and my dad was a queen fan. That was actually one of the tw first songs i ever remember hearing/the other on is big bad will is sweet william now by van halen. Anyways up until i was fourteen i actually made fun of my dad for liking old people music like queen. I rember him trying to play them in the car and i said for god sakes change it. Then my friend and i ashley were talking about good songs in chorus and she started sing bo rhap. Then i went in the step dads cd collection and found classic queen and loved it. Then for my 15th b-day my mom bought me the platinum collection. The first item i bought was a night at the opera naturally.

In 1979 I heard We Are The Champions for the first time, but what really captivated me was Bohemian Rapsody. That was when I said, these guys are good! For many years I stop listening because in USA no one I knew was into Queen and I just forgot about them.
Now I'm a hard core fan since 2002. I listen to other singers and bands, but none can compare to Queen. They are the best.

Well unfortunatley I was born only 5 months before freddie died :( - June 11 so I neva got to see them live or enything :( - but i'm real glad i'm into tyhem so much. I'm a HARDCORE fan seriously and my mum's starting to get sik of me :S. But I'm gonna save up for a Night at the Opera and then "Magic Moments" DVD. I really wanna see some interviews, u no?

The 'Magic Moments' DVD got a real bad review
in the magazine of the German Fanclub!
According to this review it is an unofficial product and there are no statements from the band itself, but only interviews with other people about Queen.

If you want some interview and documentation you
should think about buying the 3 'Magic years'
Vidos. They are not (yet?) available on DVD.
Alternativley you can also buy the 'Champions
of the World' Video, what is mainly material which
is also featured on the Magic Years Videos and
some 'new' material they edited after Freddie's
Death.

What does the rest of you think...what to do if
you want to have some documentation and interviews?

Since November 1991, when Freddie died.
There was a Queen weekend on MTV.

I have been a die hard Queen fan for about a year and two months. It all started with Greatest Hits too. Ahhhh, good times.

i wonder why there arent any queen weekends or queen specials on mtv or mtv2 or anything like that here....d;fjddfsdgfs

anyways
ive known about them for a few years, since i was little
but i became a huge fan in may 2004...

I bought (and still have!) We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions on 45 in 1977. I was 10! Then Crazy Little Thing Called Love on 45. I was 12 then. After that, it was album after album.

I guess I should have just said a looong time..lol

I grew up as a fan of sci-fi movies as a kid so the first Queen album I bought was actually the Flash Gordon soundtrack because I loved the film. Then, in 1981 I bought the Greatest Hits album and realized I had missed out on lots of great songs. By the time Hot Space came out I was totally hooked and have been ever since.

August 1986 when I was 11. Just in time to miss the last gigs they ever did!

had a lull in my fanatacism during/after universisty (1993 -97) but am making up for it now!!

Enjoyed waiting for the Miracle and Innuendo albums and was lucky enough to go to the tribute and the Freddie anniversary gig at Ocean in hackney in 2001 (I think it was) where Brian and Roger played. Fantastic it was!

Don't believe I shall ever tire of this quartet's output! Roll on GH 3 DVD, box sets etc!

Well I know for sure that I'm going to be a Queen fan 'til I die...

Been a fan since 1986, when I got the "A Kind of Magic" album. Like someone else said, just in time to miss their last live gigs :-(

Since about '98.

18 years now darlings....
