John Stuart.... Yet, sometimes on occasion, I will contribute positively only to be shot down in flames by Greg. On other occasions, he has started (for no obvious reason) only what I can describe as hate mail to flame me for the fun of it.
How do you think this makes me feel?
GB: Grow up, John. You sound like a 12 year old. You are big enough and old enough to take these things on the chin. Stop trawling for sympathy. You do this often and I mention it often, but still you need to gather sympathy.
How do you think this makes me feel? Who cares, John? Nobody cares how things on QZ "makes you feel" or how they make me feel, or anyone else on QZ feel. It's hard luck if comments offend me or hurt me, and the same is true of you. Hard luck John. Why should you be any different? You make it seem as if how YOU feel is so very important, that it should be every QZ-ers top priority. Honestly John, just grow up a bit and take it on the chin.
There have been 5 or 6 instances, that I can remember with my poor memory, of you invting sympathy and support, because you don't like how my words, or those of others, have made you feel. No one other than you and your closest QZ shadows genuinely cares. Get over it.

Go on then. Where is this change of tack?

GB: This is FUNNY. Hoorah for someone with something original and amusing to say. Nice one Suicide. You made me laugh out loud. Now don't spoil it with something less original. Leave it at that.
By the way... I would win. Of course I would win. It's no contest. But John would win the sympathy vote, obviously, which he'd love.

John, we can be proud to have you on the notice board. I hope the respect of the QZ members for you means something to you.
Yes. And I second that. We love you John, you are the best. You are great and fab, and not remotely boring, and QZ is very lucky to have you here with your vast knowledge of the Queen tapes and out-takes which you know about, but which members of the band have never heard of.
John is the fabbest of the fab and long may he bore.... long may he be here every day of the rest of his existence, adding.... things to every thread, until the last day of his life arrives and he has contributed to 124, 664,890 threads.
God love him and bless him and guide him and bless his cotton socks.

Your "comeback" Greg was quite nice this time, but now you`ve done it again. Can`t you two lovebirds take this fight in private?
I guess asking you Greg to be more serious on this board is just plain stupid.

I thought I'd chime in here.
Like alot of people on this messageboard, I am the sort who will only believe it when I hear/see it. That goes for the Sunbury video, Hangman acetate, and for alot of these rarities that people 'claim' to own or others which apparently exist.
So - I (as always) will side with Greg on this one. and will add my vote to the 'prove it' campaign. Why should we believe anyone on this messageboard without substantial proof...??
Oh by the way...I have a lock of Brian's hair...I won't take any pictures of it, because I don't need to. Altho I would be willing to make a trade. (HA!...who believes me??)

J,
I wouldn't ever decide to end my friendship with you over something like sharing my master tapes with QPL or you sharing your master tapes with them. I really doubt your other friends here would either.

You said right, Lisser.
Indeed, FRIENDS would not ;-)
But friends are rare.
Especially when it comes to collecting and/or trading.

IvoDutch: "John, if you say you have very rare footage of Queen I believe you".
Can I point out that I did not say - nor do I own any rare footage.
The only footage I have - would be owned by Queen Productions anyway.
As for audio rarities, I own a few, but I do not have a copy of 'Face It Alone', or some of the other tracks that have been 'distributed' in here, besides, compared to Greg's all time favourite collector, my collection pales into insignificance.

I disagree with the word "insignificance" - I believe I have a reasonable idea who we're referring to and I'd imagine that the two collections are just differently targetted.
This would most simply be illustrated by asking JSS if, when buying material at public auction, he often found himself up against the same rotund gentleman.
Some people collect foreign picture sleeves, some collect press packs, some collect every issue of Bo Rhap, etc etc

GB's "Queen on film" topic went along smoothly until Greg went apeshit, when John indicated his relevent experience of being paid, but being treated badly by QPL.

Queen (Productions) always ask, always get but never give. Fans always offer help but I don't remember anybody getting a single penny or a damn backstage pass.
So what can you offer in exchange for such rare recordings? I'm sure there's some sort of a budget for this sort of things. Money? Recordings?[/QUOTE]

An apology (or even an acknowledgement from someone higher tha GB) may have helped - but the offer was never made.
I know that quite a large number believe 'Hangman' is bullshit - but it is my 'pension fund', and everyone knows where it is - and that is the real surprise - I flash my wares like a baboon in heat, and not once has anyone other than GB even considered to make the call.

PLEASE stop going on about your bloody Ibex tape. It was 6 entire years ago now. We lost your tape, we apologised, we paid you, you took the cash, you were invited to the Freddie box launch, you came, you bored us senseless, you mingled, you loved it, you told me you loved it. Now... get over it. You are such a moaning old woman John.
You say that no one at Queen, other than me, ever contacted you. Correct. TAKE THE HINT. Ask yourself why that might be. There are good reasons why I was the one who got lumbered having to act as middle man. Work it out, it isn't hard.
I'M NOT RESPONDING ANY MORE TO YOU JOHN, BECAUSE YOU ARE SO VERY TEDIOUS AND REPETITIVE AND STILL BITTER, AND IT IS SO TIRESOME AND EXHAUSTIVE. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN TO STOP GOING ON AND ON AND ON ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT HAPPENED 6 YEARS AGO. IT IS UNTRUE TO PRETEND QPL DID NOT APOLOGISE. I CAN PULL OUT THE EMAILS TO PROVE YOU WRONG - AND YOU KNOW IT.
NOW, WOULD YOU KINDLY FOXTROT OFF AND LEAVE THESE THREADS ALONE - YOU SAD BITTER LITTLE INDIVIDUAL.
I'm trying to get on with more constructive and MUCH more interesting things, with people who are neither boring or bitter.
Now then, Mr Scully..... your question is next...

Greg Brooks has a problem which is:
Dissocial-Narcistic-Paranoid- Antisocial Personality Disorder
Personality disorder, usually coming to attention because of a gross disparity between behaviour and the prevailing social norms, and characterized by
- very low tolerance to frustration and a low
threshold for discharge of aggression
- callous unconcern for the feelings of others
- gross and persistent attitude of irresponsi-
bility and disregard for social norms, rules and
obligations
- persistently bears grudges, i.e., is unforgiving
of insults, injuries, or slights
- perceives attacks on his or her character and is
quick to react angrily or to counterattack
- displays rapidly shifting and shallow
expression of emotions
- shows self-dramatization, theatricality, and
exaggerated _expression of emotion
- shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
- markedly dysharmonious attitudes and behaviour,
involving usually several areas of functioning,
e.g. affectivity, arousal, impulse control, ways
of perceiving and thinking, and style of
relating to others
