GB, you don't *need* to tell us that there's some fools around. It's an internet forum, it comes with the territory. But you don't make it any better by making more threads - in fact, you only make yourself look stupid, like Tom Cruise or something.
Please, for the love of Mike, stop pushing more interesting threads off the front page.[/QUOTE]
Or more importantly, perhaps he could get on with his day job and stop flaming in vain...?

Actually, I'm including pictures as being part of the errors! Dozens of the pictures are under the wrong tour/year. Greg even wrote in one of the prefaces that this has been corrected, but since many pictures are clearly in the wrong place, one can only conclude that Greg doesn't know how they dressed on each tour, and what each stage looked like. For instance, he's got a Hot Space picture of Brian in the Live Killers section (note the "Body Language" arrows on his shirt on page 143). There's a picture of Freddie with an acoustic guitar playing CLTCL in the Live Killers section, which is 9 months before they played that song on stage. There's a picture of Freddie in his Hot Space outfit in the Mexico 81 section (again, the Body Language arrows). I searched for ten seconds to find those three mistakes.
He's got a picture of the "Pizza Oven" stage on the April 1978 page. Any intermediate Queen enthusiast knows how horribly wrong that is. The Pizza Oven was built for the Jazz tour, not the News Of The World tour. Greg's book was supposed to silence the rumours and be the ultimate resource for fans about Queen concerts. It was supposed to have gotten a huge help from the vaults, assuming that's what Greg actually has access to. Not so. He couldn't even get the pictures right. Hundreds of his comments still reference bootlegs, for crying out loud. His grammar is often below high school level. This is the work of the hired official Queen archivist?
I haven't even begun to scratch the surface, even with everything I've posted on this forum on the subject. I promise, when I've finally finished organizing my notes, I will post a FULL analysis of both of Greg's books, including the list of errors from the first book which were still not corrected in the second book. Maybe a few more people will see just how completely unfit he is for his job. And for those of us who already know how true that is, we will just continue to collectively shake our heads. I'll post it at QOL too, but I'm sure the QOL constabulary will ensure the post is promptly edited or removed.

Fraid so, which might go some way to explaining his childish outbursts on here. He wouldn't for a second dare post such drivel on an official forum, because he knows for a fact certain people will be watching. He can probably see whats coming anyway - watch out Brooksie! He has it coming to him.
