Absolute Radio Create New & Exclusive QueenDocumentary Series - ‘Killer Queen ’Absolute Radio, in collaboration with award winning production company TBI Media, have designed and created an exclusive two part documentary for one of the greatest rock bands in history- Queen.The documentary series aptly named ‘Killer Queen’ is centralised around original content including interviews and commentary from Queen’s very own Brian May and Roger Taylor.They offer personal, detailed thoughts about twenty of their most successful songs. They talk about the context in which the songs were written, the way in which they were recorded and the effect they had on the lives of the band members, as well as looking at the music’s influence on bands today. The personal stories are cut into two one hour documentaries accompanied by a rich mix of music, including the Queen songs in discussion as well as occasional additions of archive from the period in which the songs were produced.The documentaries will also feature contributions from contemporary musicians including Keane’s Tom Chaplin among others who have joined in to celebrate the band’s legacy and continued influence. Other notable contributors include Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics and comedian, actor and general Queen impresario- Rhys Thomas.The series will be broadcasted across Absolute Radio and digital sister stations Absolute 80s and Absolute Classic Rock with part one, airing on Monday 22th August from 8pm-9pm. Part two will follow on Tuesday 23rd August from 8pm-9pm.There will be a featured ‘Queen Week’ on Absolute Classic Rock with tracks from Queen’s studio albums played throughout the week to build the anticipation for the premiere of ‘Killer Queen’. ‘Queen Week’ will run from Monday 15th August- Friday 19th August.The documentaries will spearhead a wider ‘Queen Season’ across the Absolute Radio network. A bespoke splash page is being created at link will host a ‘Queen Quiz’ set to go live between Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th August. Listeners will be directed to the page for their chance to win £500 cash plus top Queen related prizes.The station will then recount Queens iconic performance from 1985’s Live Aid at Wembley in a programme package entitled ‘Queen at Live Aid’.

This will follow ‘Killer Queen’ on Absolute Radio, Absolute 80s and Absolute Classic Rock over the bank holiday weekend from Saturday 27th August. The station is also working with the Mercury Phoenix Trust across ‘Queen Season’ on Absolute Radio. The charity established in Freddie’s name by fellow band members Brian May and Roger Taylor together with manager Jim Beach, was launched in 1992 with the hugely successful Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness.

Gary, being a huge Queen fan, just like all we, can you please tell us if we'll see any more concerts officially released on DVD in this year? Your old pal, Valery |
| queenUSA 09.08.2011 18:57 |
Gary, is there any possibility it will be syndicated to radio stations in other countries? |
| GratefulFan 09.08.2011 20:05 |
That radio station streams content online so you can listen on the internet. Follow the link in the announcement and look for the Classic or 80's feed. iPhone & iPad users can also used the TuneIn radio app to pick up the Classic feed and record the programs if desired. |

Why talk about QOL here when there's already a thread about it elsewhere? You're gonna end up getting booted off again, use your head :) |

Nuke the troll. Enough catering to him. He destroys nearly every thread he posts in, and all forms of logic and common decency have failed. Ban the IP address. There must be a way. |
| flashgordon2011 12.08.2011 00:46 |
no more fun, no more lies, no more war and no more sex living in our wishes thinking in the past Thinking what you're doing dreaming about all Desire You say you ban you ban my ip adress cuz you thinking about yourself,yes give me your heartache give me you soul no no no no no no no brain! in this poem are songs like, "No more fun," "under pressure" |

No, I think I'm with Sir GH and most everyone else that you annoy on here. Someone needs to straight up ban your ass with a quickness...you're annoying, you're rude, and I can safely say that Bob hit it on the nail when he said you destroy every thread you come into contact with. |

Bob: sadly If the guy has an Dynamic IP, ban his ip has no sense, with only reset the modem he will get a new ip... Hey russian kid: if you have a little of dignity (do you know that word?) please behave yourself! or at least leave us ALONE... (hey boy! you have a big di#$ in your ass,right?) The other option is: IGNORE him complety!! i think he will be tired at the end... |

'Sorry, pal, but you're not my taste' That goes both ways...again, not into dudes...congrats that you're into 'such man as Gary Taylor', I don't know much about him, seems like a nice fella, but I'm almost confident he's not into dudes as well.
