In the latest fan club mag Brian confirms as a result of the new record deal Queen (well Queen in some form) will be in the studio and doing live work again at some point, the full details TBC later in the year. Nothing really new here but nice to see the kettle still on the stove! |
| Vali 11.06.2010 09:19 |
hopefully good news, many tks ! |
| cmsdrums 11.06.2010 10:34 |
I got my mag yesterday and read this with interest too. At least he has been a bit more specific than in the past, and actively mentioned that they will be in the studio (although hopes got up for the 46664 stuff and that never appeared!), and also doing live work. He also mentions work involving computers, which I'm guessing will be something like Guitar Hero or Rock Band? He didn't mention the multitude of rehashed Hits packages we're bound to get for Universal to make some money though!!! |
| rhyeking 11.06.2010 10:49 |
I'm not 100% certain of the specifics, but Hollywood Records distributes through Universal, so I don't see any new output of hits collections being released as a result of a new contract. It could have just been time to renew the contract or one or both parties wanted to make some changes to the existing contract. Any new work from Brian and Roger, either as Queen or otherwise, is a great thing. I'd love to see an album where they divide lead vocals between themselves. Get Spike Edney and Neil Murray in there and you could have some awesomeness on your hands. |
| Makka 11.06.2010 23:17 |
I wish the 3 remaining members only would do some studio work. No One But You proved they can do it comfortably and I'm not a big fan of them using a different singer. |

I loved No One But You, and IMO the three surviving members are still Queen (Queen IMO ended upon John's retirment not Freddie's death); and I also think that Brian and Roger are terrific vocalists. Especially Brian. I would be more than happy with the three surviving members recording an original album with Roger and (mostly) Brian handling the vocals. It would never happen, but I would be one of the handful of people who would buy the album. |

to me you could pick the of the very best guest vocalist and make to a great album, but it will still be a stranger in the family and just won't it doesn't work it should be to brian and roger doing the singing job |
| rhyeking 12.06.2010 19:31 |
Naturally, we all want John to join Brian and Roger in the studio, but it's become pretty clear it's VERY unlikely. The last time he performed with them was 17th of Sept., 1997 and has turned down every offer to perform or record since. John only knows why he feels he doesn't want to record anymore, as it's seemingly a much smaller commitment than a full tour, but I've come to respect his decision. I just hope he's healthy and happy and enjoying his well-earned millions. |

Fingers crossed!!!! Please God make them release a great album like Made in Heaven Rework, polish e.t.c. Face it alone, Love Kills, Man On Fire (Freddie vocals), Silver Salmon and it is 100% sure, there are more hidden gems better than these. |

What's the exact quote? |
| Benn Kempster 13.06.2010 09:20 |
More sense again from Holly. My take on it is that John has been as embarassed as the rest of us have been with the ridiculous collaborations with 5ive, Britney Spears and anyone else who wants to grab hold of Queen's coat-tails. I reckon he simply can't bear what has happened to the Queen brand and the band's reputation. John, rightly, brought a dignified end to his creative involvement with NOBY and has stuck to his guns since. More power to him. |
| rhyeking 13.06.2010 09:37 |
There's a version of "Man On Fire" with Freddie on vocals? I assume it would be from The Works Sessions, but I've never heard of such a recording before this thread. Have we confirmed its existence, like at a Fan Club Con or something? |

Also in Made in Heaven some songs did not fit with the concept (LOVE theme). Not to add that Queen on many cases run out of time, so never finished properly. In 1994-95 Made in Heaven was a difficult task, however they managed to create songs from 15 seconds snippets. Now with Pro-Tools and advanced studio technology, they can create miracles. All they need is a producer. |

Dim wrote: All they need is a producer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Although it would be good to have an outside input, I'd say that they are more than capable of producing themselves, having basically done that themselves from the mid seventies anyway.

| Dim 13.06.2010 16:30 |
If they want they can find many good reasons to rework or polish some unreleased gems. 1)Money and Glory, the second no-one in the world ever hated or bored it. An album like Made in Heaven it will sell like hot cakes, public joe knows and remembers Queen with Freddie. With little promo, No1 is 100% 2)Queen when say no - they do the opposite..... 3)Some songs deserve a better treatment, they have to be finished. Imagine an great demo as bonus. Then next day we will discuss, why they never finished it. 4) So many years we are waiting, many fans sadly passed away.... and if they gives us the unreleased stuff, either as extras or in a box without a prooper album....As fans we don't deserve that. BETTER REWORK THE GOOD DEMOS - RELEASE A PROOPER ALBUM & THEN GIVE US A BOXSET OR PUT THE REST DEMOS AS EXTRAS ON THE REISSUES. |
| mike hunt 13.06.2010 23:39 |
I want Unreleased Queen stuff as much as the next fan, but not for another album, and made in heaven part 2 would make them look desperate. How silly would they look releasing made in heaven 2 in 2010/2011?.....but releasing this stuff on a boxset would be brilliant. A great selling tool IMO. Especially if any of these tracks sound great. They could release the best one as a single. |

I do not want piss on anyones parade here, but couldn't Brian have meant (re-)releasing existing studiowork? |
| Micrówave 14.06.2010 04:44 |
Spot on. It's going to take someone outside to produce the new Queen sound. Only the die hards want to hear just Brian/Roger/John, a vocalist is also going to be required. Plenty of bands can bring in another singer and continue working, but you can't leave control in the hands of just one or two founding members... it won't work. But it probably just means Brian is re-recording some parts for a Queen Rock Band application, which will be distributed by Universal. The Beatles estate is making more money off their Beatles Rock Band than their new remasters, which are beautifully re-packaged. It's a shame, but video game income will far surpass anything else "new" Queen can offer. |

Maybe a re-release of the Made In Heaven for its 20th anniversary, or as part of the new Universal contract (re-releases when disc company changes are not that uncommon, even though it would be a huge task here) or something, with new finished songs coming from demos as a bonus disc. If not, I don't get the point. By the way, can "new work" also mean a QUEEN + TAYLOR HAWKNS complete album ? I readt that he had plans for Queen.... But I think I also readt that Foo Fighters could start working again on a new album.... Regards, Olivier, Belgium. |

Holly2003 wrote: The press would murder an album of reworked demos and b-sides masquerading as a full Queen album. These were, after all, songs which weren't good enough to make it onto the original albums. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No. I disagree in part here. Sure, there will be some unfinished songs which were abandoned, but I would NEVER say there were songs which just weren't "good enough" to make it onto an album. For example, The band reportedly spent 18 months recording "The Game" and Roger said in an interview that there are a few dozen songs from those sessions. That doesn't mean they weren't good enough to go on the album, it simply means that by the time they'd finished recording songs for the album, a fair number of them didn't fit the style they'd decided to go for when they started piecing it together - it doesn't mean they were rubbish! There's probably a fantastic albums worth of songs that are midway in style between "Jazz" & "The Game". How cool would that be??? :) |
| rhyeking 14.06.2010 12:17 |
By most accounts, the period from 1979 through 1982 was a very productive one for Queen, as was 1988 and the recording of The Miracle. |
| john bodega 14.06.2010 12:32 |
I have no problem with old acts having to go to video games to make money. I wish Zeppelin would consider it (although we know how touchy they are with their stuff, it'll take 4 dead members for that to happen). I wish Brian would hurry up and make some music. Roger being involved would be a bonus, but it's like this - I remember listening to Another World and thinking "fuck, the axe man is back". It's got his best singing on it. Above all I remember thinking "the next one should be great". And where the hell is it? Come on Brian! Take a leaf out of Gimlour's book, give us something like "On an Island". Hurry up, none of us are getting any younger. |
| mike hunt 14.06.2010 12:32 |
i don't think the songs left of each album were rubbish.....i think some of the songs that were left off the miracle were actually better than the ones that made the album. They made some bad choices for that album. I think a few lost gems exsist, not a lot though. |
| Holly2003 14.06.2010 14:40 |
imo the only non-album songs that would've merited a place on a proper Queen album are A Human Body and Soul Brother. Everything else is weak or sounds little better than an unfinished demo -- Hang on in There is a good example of that. And I'm not exactly waiting in anticipation for the songs from the 1978-80 period that couldn't beat More of that Jazz and Coming Soon lol. As for the unfinished demos I've heard, hardly a one sticks in the mind or sounds to my ears like we're missing something great. Even Hangman is a sub-standard rock track, with awful lyrics. But of course I've no idea what's in the archive, I'm only going by what I've heard. Maybe there are gems in there -- let's hope so. |
| EarwaxOfSatan 14.06.2010 16:32 |
I would rather hear Queen without a replacement vocalist. Roger and Brian sing quite well on their own, but if they have to bring others on board, I would love to see them do an album wiith multiple guest vocalists. I can think of several good candidates who would bring something new to the table and could work into the band's formula in interesting ways. I am sure many would love an opportunity to sing with a legend! |
| rhyeking 14.06.2010 17:06 |
Holly, I respectfully disagree with with your opinion that the most of the non-album tracks are little more than demos. The songs either didn't fit the style of the album, couldn't be made to fit on a 40 minute LP or were disputed between band members for some reason. Keep Yourself Alive (Long Lost Re-take) - re-recorded to the bands satisfaction after THIS one was made. This one is a finished proper track. The recording on the album was made after this one in order to get the feel closer to to the De Lane Lea demo, not because the Re-Take sounded like crap. Mad The Swine - fully intended to appear on the album (by all accounts between "My Fairy King" and "Great King Rat") until either concerns about the percussion sound or reservations about it fitting in kept it off. See What A Fool I've Been - recorded properly after being a live-staple since Smile, it was left off because it didn't fit the themes of the album (and possibly because the band feared an eventual royalty pay out to original [unknown at the time] composers...who turned out to be Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee). A Human Body - Could have appeared on The Game, but the band has said it had had a formula for this album: 3 Brian tracks, 3 Freddie tracks, 2 John tracks and 2 Roger tracks..."A Human Body" was one too many, and it doesn't fit the album's style as well as Coming Soon or Rock It (in my opinion Soul Brother - when released with "Under Pressure," there was no album to put this on. A year later, the band had more songs recorded and this year-old track didn't fit with the funky overtones the way UP did. I Go Crazy - Left off, according to Brian, because the rest of the band didn't like it. It's still a solid rocker and culd easily end either side of the original LP. Thank God It's Christmas - Recorded between albums with the express purpose of being a Xmas single. Blurred Vision - A valid B-side (acknowledged by it's inclusion on the Complete Vision LP of The Complete Works box set), but as it's little more than a crazy remix of One Vision, no, this doesn't need to be on A Kind Of Magic (but might have worked anyway as an album book-end). Hang On In There - I feel this track is on par at least with "Rain Must Fall" and "My Baby Does Me" in terms of sophistication. Musically, to my ear, it easily fits with the rest of The Miracle, picking up where "Was It All Worth It" left off. Chinese Torture - The band though enough of this track (like "Hang On In There") to include it as more than a simple non-album B-side. More people would buy the CD of The Miracle album than would by many of the singles. Hijack My Heart - Not a hit song, but a fun Roger track still on par with "Rain Must Fall," "My Baby Does Me" and "Hang On In There"! Likewise, the instrumentation and feel of the song fits with the album. Stealin' - Probably the only song releases from this period that doesn't quite match up with the rest of The Miracle and isn't as polished. It's really an edit of the 12 minute-long demo since leaked, though I think the editing tightens it up and improves it, placing it well above the demo. My Life Has Been Saved (Original Single Version) - Not as polished as the later album version, but a respectable B-side and certainly not "not much more than a demo." Lost Opportunity - The least "Queen" sounding B-side, as it's an unsophistical blues number sung by Brian. Certainly doesn't fit Innuendo, but is a good little number, on par with the style it emmulates No One But You - a stand-alone track meant to be the bookend to the era of Queen's original recording line up. |
| peterkin101 14.06.2010 17:11 |
I've been a fan since 1975 and have been fortunate to see them twice in 1979/80. With Freddies' passing there is never going to be a singer to really do what he did-he was and still is a one-off. Whilst the recent incarnation of Brian and Roger with Paul Rodgers was good in one sense, it was a line-up I was never really happy with. Any future line-up would have to include John Deacon, anybody else and it isn't quite there. As for a front man? One who proved he could do something in this respect is George Michael. No doubt it has been suggested and thrown out for whatever reason-but it's the only conceivable combination IMHO which stands a chance to come anywhere near what was. |

| rhyeking 14.06.2010 22:33 |
Since Another World, I think Brian put most of his focus on Furia, The Cosmos Rocks, producing Kerry Ellis, making guest appearances on others' songs, getting his PhD, working on the Musical and getting a few Q+PR tours in. I'm not sure when he'd have time to do too much recording, but who knows, maybe he's recorded a few tracks at Allerton Hill over the years. Remember, though, that after Made In Heaven, Brian planned an album of covers, titled "Heroes." The plan was record a bunch of new covers and use the few he'd already recorded for other things: Slow Down Maybe Baby Marie's The Name (His Latest Flame) Only Make Believe FBI Hot Patootie All The Way From Memphis One Rainy Wish No One But You (as a tribute to end the album) And possibly others. He changed his mind though, after recording NOBY with Queen, realising he was looking backwards instead of at the here and now, so he rethought the solo album and made it about the work he was doing at the moment, having written and recorded a bunch of songs for other projects: Business (for "Frank Stubbs Promotes" series 1) Cyborg (for Rise II video game) On My Way Up (for Frank Stubbs S2) Another World (for the film "Sliding Doors") Plus three of the aforementioned covers and a few new songs inspired by his travels ("China Belle") and feelings of rediscovering his solo identity ("Wilderness," "Why Don't We Try Again," "Space"). In short, Brian doesn't appear to sit down and say, "I'm gonna record meself a solo album!" but rather looks at what's going on in his life and plays off that. |

Honestly, I've stopped holding my breath. I don't begrudge Queen for pursuing other avenues, like recording, you know, NEW stuff (I like The Cosmos Rocks!) and would certainy love the Anthologies, but they still seem a long way off. As long as they release stuff, I'm happy. But I don't need any more Hits collections. I've got, like, ten or eleven already. Peace out, yo! |

Uuuh...you silly people. Hopefully it means one of many new Queen studio l.p.s to come forth. I hope over the years as they record tons of new songs that they actually re-record many of their hits and best ofs with other recording artists.. And with tons of alternative versions of songs both old and new. Over record. Over record. Over record. ...and I hope they do new solo music as well... |

You should add that you want them to live more than 100 years and keep on recording and touring until the very same day they croak. |

To be honest, I'm cautiously-optimistic about this. On one hand, I think Roger and Brian make fine music apart, and CAN do even better together. However, after the mediocrity of TCR, I hope they have can channel more of their original creativity. Also, a Queen RockBand would be AMAZING! I admit to being smitten by the genre (after The Beatles's version) and think a Queen one would be even more exciting. But, more than anything, I want the boxset(s). On a tangent note, I am really excited for Roger's new album too. While TUE isn't anything all that special, new material from Roger is definitely appreciated! |

A thread that caught my eye at QOL - "Queen to release 150-200 songs next year "in some form" http://queenonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=577 |

OK I think the boxsets will be released next year :-) |

Vali wrote: "I bet it's the re-release of the albums ... " Well, I second that. But would be amazing if they re-release it in some kind of special version form, like a two cds set or cd plus dvd set, both of cases the first cd would contend a new remaster of the album and the second disc ( cd or dvd) would be full of extras, like b-sides, demos, bbc versions, etc. Otherwise I will pass this one. |

Does Brians upcoming project with Kerry Ellis constitute more Queen work. Hopefully he will work on some live dvd's, could do with something new. |

I've been dreaming about the "Anthologies" since the FM Box was released, but now I could live without that project in case the suposed re-release of all the studio work through Universal was done in the way we all (well, most of us) are hoping. |
