"No... I'm putting in 14 hour days at the moment on Queen Singles, FOR YOU PEOPLE, as well as myself. But I get waylaid by certain dick-heads who have nothing constructive to offer at all. "
I'm sure you wouldn't be putting 14 hours a day in this project if you weren't generously paid for it. And that is exactly the problem: you keep asking everyone for help (for which no-one seems to get credited, regarding several stories i've heard of people correcting mistakes in Queen Live and not getting credit they deserve) while it's YOUR job and not OUR job to get this data.
I'm sure there'll be lots of people willing to help if you wouldn't call them all the things you've called fans so far. And if you give people the credit they deserve.

Good response Pim. I have several probabally unseen video's on 8mm tape, and lots of concerts that are in pristine condition video & audio that i would be willing to possibly work something out with QP, but i want some material that is from the 'Infamous, & supposed' Queen vault! I would be willing to donate a pristine copy of Hyde Park '76, only if us fans get a 70's concert on dvd in return, besides the Hyde Park if i donated it. So if you read this GB, email me, maybe QP has an interest in this? If they already have it in Pristine Quality, then release it! I know there are plenty Awesome quality Video concerts that are there because i have several.
hey Greg-why not come clean with the live killers info???

Sure, he's had a hand in finding some of the content that's ended up on some of the relases, but there's not a great deal of point in apportioning blame or directing your vitrilo at him because the boxsets haven't been released yet.[/QUOTE]
I don't blame him for the box sets not coming out. I blame him for talking to people like shit and generally being an asshole. I really feel sorry for his wife and children, assuming he has any. God help whoever has to live with someone like that.
And if he thinks I'm going to pay for travel to and accomodation in the UK just to tell him he's an asshole to his face, he has an enormously over-inflated sense of himself. I wouldn't cross the street to pick his pocket.

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]YoungStratMan wrote: [/QUOTENAME]I just wish that with my over $100,000 worth of Queen stuff i purchased throughout the years, and going to tons of concerts, buying cd's everytime they come out (even the not so good ones, and the DVD's that have the same compilied bs), i could get something like a rare concert on DVD, or maybe something rare on cd?? Isn't it owed to all of us deticated fans that have spent more on Queen than alot of ppl make in a years time? I have no disrepect to GB, but i just wish to stress the fact that us long time Queen fans want something new and good, not the same old bullshit like another volume to Greatest Hits or Greatest Video hits! We want old concerts & Rare unlreased material, i mean come on! And i do agree that GB shouldn't be expected to know every detail about Queen's #1's, ect., i have been a Fanatic for many of years, and knew Freddie, but i still don't know every damn thing about Queen, i wasn't in the band and neither was GB, and nobody has the time to sit all day and study Queen, and devote their whole life to Queen's discography, and Chronology. Just read things throughly before responding with hate mail about someone you DO NOT know personally. I don't know GB personally, i have met him, but i don't know exactly what everyone means when they make statements! Good day all, and try to refrain from flaming me for this, i have a life, so i really could care less what you write! :)[/QUOTE]
I second, third, fourth and infinite that!!! Well said my friend. No more no less.

Shouldn't it be easy to find all this info? It's Property of Queen Productions.
(Yeah, I keep saying this, and yeah, I saw someone else do it earlier in the thread, but it's almost as funny as Heather Mills jokes).

Dear mr Brooks,
Thanks for calling me a shit-head (and everything else)
I won't communicate back to you in the same way, but you are clearly seeing the general opinion of many Queenzoners regarding your attitude towards people (and your vocabulary).
If you would be so kind to let me know your business e-mail address so we can all look you straight in the eyes and everybody can clearly state their opinion towards you (can we send a copy to JB as well???)
Stefan
PS In normal business situations insulting your costumers would mean one thing: you would be fired! Think about it before you write anything like that again!

Unfortunately, TRS, Greg is a freelance worker, so there's no way he could get "fired" from anything.

Incorrect, dear Inu. The services of freelancers can be "no longer required" if those in charge feel his or her work (or attitude) is not met.

There are some good points in this thread that GB could easily address. As I said, the project sounds very interesting and has the promise of giving fans some great information. Instead, GB seems content to reply in that other thread and continue to call people names and insult fans.
Let's discuss fan criticism and see if it's fair or not fair. Or, GB, you can continue to call people "planks," "plods" and wobblies and have people question your maturity.
What I bet happens, however, is that more intelligent heads will lean on GB to just let the matter drop and he'll disappear once again. Pity.

To come back to Greg's first message saying:
Quote: ". Some uninformed plonker on QZ suggested something about how can I have the audacity to come to QZ asking for help. Well, I DIDN'T. I sent my request to Jen ay BM.com and one of YOU guys posted it on QZ. Not me. I didn't know it was on here until tonight." End Quote
The original message from Greg on Brianmay.com was:
Quote: "COULD YOU ALSO PASS THIS EMAIL ON TO OTHER FANS/CONTACTS/EXPERTS YOU KNOW AROUND THE WORLD, PLEASE.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND DETAILS YOU ARE NOT CERTAIN OF"
End Quote
So I did my job and some sarcasm at the end of my message ;-) ;-)
Quote: "note: Greg is asking to write your answers at brianmay.com@clara.co.uk
personal note: in my humble opinion it comes across as a partial joke... to ask us the fans to send him the information and the question "Was Radio Ga Ga a nr 1 hit ANYWHERE" made me laugh even more
But since we support our dear mr Brooks, I hereby would like to ask you all to send him a nice e-mail to express our feelings towards his bright mind! " End Quote
It seems some people do get winded up pretty quickly.
But it does not matter too much. I politely asked mr Brooks anyway to contact me by e-mail. Since I am (a "bloody dutchman") living in Romania, I would be more than glad to come over personally to have a nice chat with mr Brooks (as he requested).
So the next time I am in England Greg, I can give you a call and we go out for a pint of beer?
