And thank you PCGenius and Nevets. I'm not an asshole but can be forced to become one when little elitists (did I spell that right?) up here spout from their mouths thinking they are holier than others (not necessarily referring to the other guy that responded to my original request) just because they have rare stuff and don't want to share. That doesn't make them any of a bigger Queen fan than others. If anything, it makes them LESS of a Queen fan... I would like to get a website going or something where there are only Queen fans who want to share and not horde stuff from others.

Actually, Djaef is 100% fine guy.
The only reason that you didn't get what you expected from him is the fact that you asked for too much....

After seeing that there is lots of official stuff on grammy.ru I decided to investigate further. It seems to take you to a pay web site for those.
TarHeelDDS2005, (wonderful name by the way), your ignorance is incredible.
Meaning? We don't have a life, or jobs? I have two small children. I just choose to use my spare time searching for Queen stuff. You also have that option.
I, and a lot of others on here often just share stuff to help people out. See my live songs announce as an example. spent an hour to help out someone who requested some songs. You just don't know how to be polite.
I can't imagine what paranoid fantasies, or more likely just poor logic and reasoning led you to these statements. Me thinking your request was rude and very leech like has absolutely nothing to do with the larger "sharing" issues that trading sites deal with. If you want to know, I share over 90GB of Queen material on the hub, including rare concerts and demos and whatever. I am also a trader and play by the trading rules, so yes, my most rare stuff does not get shared willy nilly. I have worked for it, something you clearly have no desire to do. Yet you want everything on a plate and you feel justified of accusing us of being arrogant and greedy. You do not have a clue what you are talking about, so my suggestion is that you just go back to your Greatest Hits 2 and your life, and good day to you.
Oh, and thanks Jamaleni. :)
By meaning that I don't have the time, I meant that I have a real job and somewhat of a real life and DON'T have the time to search for hours on a website for things.

I am from the school of always helping people out and bending over backwards for others to help them. It will come around to bite some of you guys in the end. I can guarantee it.

Some of you guys up here kill me. It's almost like some people are in a secret little Queen cult/society where only the REAL members/'fans' get the good stuff (ie: bootlegs, rare demos, etc). Whatever. And I am not referring to you Mr Buggers, tiddly winks, or whatever you said.

Well said Djaef!
This website works quite well if you ask me. Lot`s of nice concerts uploaded, and we even have a hub full of concerts and surprises. If you download some of the stuff from here, you will get access to the queenhub. You want live concerts, you get them here. If you want rare stuff in lossless, start working!

I think it's a little unfair someone not wanting to "search for hours" to get some Queen concert when many of the old time collectors "searched for days, months or years" to get many of the stuff freely available on this site.
If there's an "underground Queen cult of traders", well, they've worked hard to get what they have and if they want to share something thru this site, let them do it, but if they don't nobody has to force them. Well, times have changed, alright. We're at the dawn of a new age of blah blah blah... yet people are becoming less patient, they think that just because they have Internet access they should get everything for free. I mean, trading is free, you know (excluding posting and blank CDs), and I suppose it's not that hard.
I would like to make my point by saying that I'm NOT A TRADER (I wish I was, actually), yet I understand them. I have been collecting Queen records since 1992, I'm from Mexico and we don't have lots of second hand record shops like some of you do in Europe, yet I've been able to get some rare-ish stuff. I mean, you can get a high quality MP3 of the original version of "Let Me Live" but I wouldn't change my original MIH CD with that version for nothing. I know I'm nothing (Queen collecting-wise) compared to other collectors, yet I enjoy doing it.
Yes, I do download concerts from here, I prefer FLAC because I want to keep them preserved and I'm going to burn them into CD's to make a nice little collection. MP3 is lossy and crap. And if you say you can get a perfect copy at 320kb, well, the compression is not that great and it might sound perfect to you but it's not. I might aswell try to get the best version available.
I mean, for casual listening, you may stick to MP3 but don't expect to get all the shows easily. Remember that to get each of the shows you listen to someone bothered to RECORD it, transfer it to TAPE (remember tape?) and encode it some years later.
I think this page ROCKS!... you're not going to find a Queen page with all the resources that Queenzone has (contacts with other fans, downloads, etc) and if you do, it's surely illegal, hahaha :).
See ya...

Hey pcgenius9, that grammy.ru looks good. There's some live Georgia Satallites stuff which looks good but I can't download it and my Russian is a little rusty, any ideas?????
