If you don't like or don't understand what a masterpiece is Roger's "Happiness?" then you don't need to sorry even...

A real fan surely is someone who can objectively look at things and praise or indeed criticize if needed. Whole hosts of people have been fans for years (me included) but thats not the be all and end all.
In my oppionion, this is a fan. A fan, given the oppertunity, will always put their favourite Queen song on the jukebox when they go to their local pub, a fan will ring up the rock and solid gold and complain that they do not play half as much Queen as they should, a fan will always get the question right "what rocker opened the Queen's Jubilee celebrations by playing 'God Save The Queen' on the roof of Buckingham Palace" when playing trivial prusuit, and most importaintly, a fan should be grateful that at least Brian and Roger are still out and about gracing us with their presence instead of dissappearing off the face of the world (come back John!).
Yes, there are many things that make up a fan, these are just a few.
See ya all later, happy new year

I'll pass on being considered a fan.
With some of the close-minded views and attitudes displayed by some people, calling themselves "fan", I wouldn't want to be one.
However I've been listening to Queen for over 30 years and I've purchased albums(vinyl), singles, cassettes, CDs, DVDs etc. I have performed some Queen songs as a musician.
I don't believe that they are gods or the best musicians to ever have composed/performed.
I have the highest respect for their talents.
I believe, as I do about most people, that they are probably decent people with their share of imperfections.
I do not believe they are public property nor do I believe they owe me or any "fan" anything.
Fan is short for fanatic.
I'll call myself an admirer of Queen, the individuals who made up Queen and Q+PR.

Good call.
I don't really see the point in arguing about this, because hey; to each, their own. But you make a good point. Cheers to you.

A real fan is somebody who listens to all the tracks on an album several times to make sure they really like it or not.
A REAL fan is someone who listens to Queen all the time and dosne't get bored by them. Someone who is loyal to Queen and followed them through their career to this day. And someone who thinks Queen are f**king fantastic!
A real fan doesn't feel the need to defend whether they are a fan or not.

I am not a real fan ...
I am not a trader
I am not a collector
I do not care about vinyl or picture sleeves
I do not care about DVD-A
I do not care about remixes
I do not care about edited song versions
I do not care about aNatO anniversary edition
I do not care about the RotC CD and DVD
I do not care about Queen + PR concert bootlegs
I do not like the musical
I do not like DoRo
I do not like every Queen song
I do not like QP always delaying the box sets
I am still a Queen fan ... and I will see Queen in Chicago in March.

I listen to Queen only once a week, because my musical tastes include more than one band. I guess I'm not a real fan then.
Seriously... I'd get bored of Queen if I listened to them every day, so I don't! I listen to Yes and various progressive rock bands much more than I listen to Queen these days. I once over-listened to Queen a few years back, and I had to take six months off of them. I'm glad I did.
