From brianmay.com: QUEEN are working on a “new” album of demos from their 1980s heyday. Guitarist Brian May, 64, told me he and drummer Roger Taylor, 62, are “going through some old drawers” to find unreleased songs recorded with frontman Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991. Brian said: “As well as seeing what we can unearth, we want to do a new musical to follow We Will Rock You. The songs are there, it’s just a question of finding time to get the right production.” link link ----------------------------------- Is this mean Made In Heaven 2 coming? |

link Queen announce plans for new album of lost demos featuring Freddie Mercury Queen have announced plans for a new album of old demos featuring their late singerFreddie Mercury. Guitarist Brian May has confirmed that he is going through the band's old material with drummer Roger Taylor to compile a selection of unreleased tracks for a forthcoming LP |

It's so funny, to see how every idiot makes a tracklist with 10 songs he has seen on YouTube. Seriously.. I hope Brian and Roger won't do this. And I seriously doubt that they will. I see no reason why Brian and Roger would want to go back to the garbage they threw out over 25 years ago. It was discarded back than because it wasn't good enough. Why go back and use them, when they still can write great stuff. Seriously.. stuff like Face it Alone is so musically uninspired. It sounds like Freddie is working off a groceries list. |

Really appreciate your beloved words to me and people who ARE exited about these potential plans. For your statement that the songs, which were not released were not good enough, is not correct. Of course there are demo's which have some Freddie vocals are not gonna be realesed. Just the almost finishes songs that are not on an album for various reasons. Just like the Made in Heaven tracks which have Freddie vocals and harmonies and can be reworked in a kind of format. Brian and Roger did work on some of the MJ/Freddie tracks, Lady Ga Ga, Tome Chaplin and others . So it could also be another Queen + album. I doubt if John will be involved. |

First of all, sorry I called you an idiot. But, what makes you think that I'm incorrect about songs being discarted because they weren't good enough. I don't think Made in Heaven was created with a lot of discarted material. If I'm not mistaken only It's a Beautiful Day was a discarted idea from 1980. And the rest was definately not discarted It's a Beautiful Day - An idea recorded in 1980 (discarted) Made in Heaven - Solo recording (finished) Let me Live - Uncertain* Mother Love - Recorded after Innuendo, for the new album My Life has Been Saved - B-side from 1989 (finished) Born to love You - Solo recording (finished) Heaven for Everyone - Solo recording (finished) Too Much love will Kill You - 1989 Recording (finished) You Don't Fool Me - Recorded after Innuendo, for the new album A Winter's Tale - Recorded after Innuendo, for the new album There you can see it's a misunderstanding that Queen were rehashing old unfinished material. It's mainly re-takes and re-recordings of material that was previously finished ór was written especially for the new album. Let Me Live is uncertain, there are rumours that it was recorded in 1983, but I have never seen any proof of this. Also, I hardly can think of any other reason than 'not good enough' to stop working on an idea. I think the most of the stuff that hasn't been released (apart from alternate takes) will consist of early versions and idea's, like most of the stuff Greg Brooks has been showing us over the past decade in conventions. Songs like I Guess We're Falling Out, Face it Alone and so on are really early idea's for songs. |
| Dane 27.10.2011 08:18 |
A thought that scares me is they might have guest-singers like Lady Gaga and such... That would really ruin it for me. You know, giving contemporary artists a chance to duet with Fred. Horrible!! They will almost definatly include one of the Michael Jackson collabs. But that's ok imo. |
| Fastidious and Precise 27.10.2011 08:18 |
I'm sure there's stuff that has an almost complete manifestation, that was left off particular albums because they didn't conform to the general mood or theme of that album. god knows what is lying in the vaults that we don't know of . Let me in Your Heart again would be an amazing track to hear with a freddie vocal and the queen treatment. Made in Heaven was also constructed to have an harmonious feel to the tracks, where as if this is released as a collection of unreleased or reworked demos then the fluidity and sound of the album could be put to the background in favour of some amazing previously unheard tracks. Cant fuckin wait. that is if it ever comes to fruition!! |

BUT, as a mentioned before, they were mostly finished tracks to begin with. And not idea's that weren't good enough in the first place. There may be a couple of (more or less) finished tracks out there. But I really doubt it would be anything musically interesting. Don't excpet a second Innuendo. Or a second MAn on the Prowl, even. |

That's a great news. Anyone remembers a while ago when Brian says that he and Roger are workng on Freddie and Michael Jackson tracks? Now he says that they are working on an album with unreleased and unfinished demos. Join 2 + 2 and you have the answer. Maybe this will be true after all |

Most of the songs cited suck. There's a reason why they were discarded. The only unreleased songs I've heard with any potential are I Guess We're Falling Out and Affairs. But from what we've heard, the vocals are very raw and incomplete. They're just demos of songs in their infancy, not remotely polished. And, dare I say .... since this is a Freddie-related project, maybe this could bring John out of retirement? There were a few great tracks on The Cosmos Rocks, but even they were lacking without John's delicate, melodic bass work. You'd think they would've used anything good for Made In Heaven and discarded the rest (they had to rehash 2 Freddie solo tracks to have enough material), but maybe there are songs they've forgotten about? I certainly don't remember every song I wrote even 5 years ago, never mind 30 years ago. So let's wait and see. |
| br5946 27.10.2011 10:55 |
Personally, I don't know what quite to make of this. On one side, it gives a legit reason for Universal placing mostly rubbish on the bonus discs this year, so the great stuff could - and I said COULD - be on this 'Made in Heaven 2' album. But, on the other side of the coin, a lot of us already know the heavily-circulated demos like Face It Alone, I Guess We're Falling Out, and such. I, for one, have been searching endlessly for such treasures as Let Me In Your Heart Again ('83 version) and the Queen version of Freedom Train, but I keep running into the same old torrents. I can't find any gems like Back to Storm. Speaking of that song, I never knew it existed until recently. Many thanks to the Youtube legend David R. Fuller for finding it. In conclusion, I'm not expecting much. But if Brian and Roger can dish out an album worthy of good, fresh songs, I'll be happy. |

Assassin - 1990 Plus if they would like to re-record the MJ+Freddie tracks (There must be more life, Victory & State of shock) it would be a really great treat for us and a worthy celebration for the 40 years... my hope is that they can also "resuscitate" Mr. Deacon in time for the project... it would be just E P I C! |
| The Real Wizard 27.10.2011 11:21 |
Add 'Grand Dame' and 'Affairs' to the list. |
| Queenman!! 27.10.2011 11:47 |
No problem Fried Chicken!
I can conclude that we all know which demo's and unreleased songs are around. But I think for sure there are a few versions of heard Convention Songs that have a more complete form. So with more Freddie vocals and harmonies. Again referring to what I said before QP would be stupid to let complete songs hear on the conventions. copying would be to easy. Recently David Richards let two new songs of the Barcelona sessions (Grand Dame and Affairs) listen to at the Italian Queen Convention... so what else could be found in the archives that we don't know about. |

Whatever they thought they had to work with when they finished "Made In Heaven", now they have three more songs - I'm referring to the MJ tracks. IF (and that's a big IF) they go ahead with this I'm sure it will more than meet our expectations. V. |
| Queenman!! 27.10.2011 12:46 |
I read the Queenonline forum and it's amazed how many people are exited and hoping this to happen. I read Greg found a lot of material during the years and with the technology of 2011 the same thing can happen as MIH. They are waiting for an official word or post from Gary to confirm the news.
As for John Deacon there are a few solutions: - Brian and Roger can both play bass (as they did on the TCR); so NO John - Brian and Roger can ask Neil Murray, Steve Barnacle or Danny Miranda; so NO John - John will be send some pre-worked tracks so he can play the bass parts at this homestudio. - John will be in the same studio with Brian and Roger and working together on the tracks but John stays out the publicity like press releases, interviews and promo activities ( Just like he did on Made in Heaven when released) - John will be 100% up for this project and will be involved in all press things ( Not so likely this will happen) |
| Russian Headlong 27.10.2011 12:46 |
Face it Alone and Robbery are excellent but most of these won't work as complete songs because the lack of Freddie's vocals on the demos. |

You Don't Fool was not a new track per se, it was built with various unrelated bits and pieces from the post-Innuendo sessions by David Richards. And with the archives being worked upon for 16 friggin years, they must have more material like this now. |

This is AWESOME news!.... Just awesome enough to get a crippled kid like Timmy to jump out of bed from his fever and illness...and in a spate of delirium, jump out the window careening down to fall several stories below... THEY DID IT!! THEY DID IT!!! (final words) Alright, Alright... ....Just an odd thing that came to mind...went overboard. QUESTION TO THE FORUM: In one of my Queen timeline books, i recall mentioning a couple of sessions with OTHER groups that have yet to be released... One a gospel group and another...some pop star. Though i don't have the extensive knowledge and resources of some Queenzoners, i'm just asking... does anybody know anything further about those recordings?... made sometime 75'-78? Also, somewhere down the line, i'm sure vocal variations and ideas exist for further Brian May and Roger Taylor tracks... i'm sure they'd shown more than "HEAVEN FOR EVERYONE" and TMLWKY to FM. Somewhere in the depths, there must also be a John Deacon song worse than Body Language in there (i'm aware JD didn't write Body Language,... i happen to like Back Chat).....something scrapped... with multiple vocal takes. I'm assuming some of their sessions went on in live recordings in order to catch "moments". This is wonderful news. I wish them ALL (all THREE) the best! I'm sure John wouldn't let the old buzzards touch his music without his approval ;) |

When they did MIH, i don't believe they had NEARLY the handle on what was in their Archives that they do now, all these years later. There's NO WAY (in my humble opinion) that QZers have the definitive and exhaustive list of what's available to work with on a new project. As I've said before, we know Freddie sang a finished vocal for Rock It (Prime Jive)... and GB has said one of the most astounding things to him as he's cataloged the Archives (and this was a question he addressed years ago) was the AMOUNT and QUALITY of stuff the guys discarded in their studio work. What about that early track listing of The Works that included "Man On Fire" and "Whipping Boy" - no one knows for sure what arrangements or vocals are on those, and on and on. I know this project could turn out to be a disappointment, but i'm still hopeful that it can also be something amazing, and i'm choosing to go with that for now... |
| Pim Derks 27.10.2011 22:33 |

| john bodega 28.10.2011 01:41 |
My hope is that, if it's an album album (ie. finished songs, some kind of vague connecting theme, etc) that it be GOOD. No fuckin' guests. I don't want to hear anyone singing if they aren't Freddie, Brian or Roger, because there is no excuse for it. This is asking a lot, and no doubt Brian's libido will lead him to pick some shit guest singers from somewhere, but I can stay hopeful for now. If it's not going to be a proper album, then I wish they'd just put out some rare shit for us to hear. Maybe they've used all of the stuff that's good enough to rework, but there's no reason that we can't hear some outtakes 'n' shit. |

Top tips for a new album: 1. No guest singers (there probably will be guest singers: I have a horible feeling this will be a Queen + guests album) 2. Don't put Heaven in the title. Or Angel. Or Paradise. Or any of that maudlin bullshit that plagued Made in Heaven. Think AC/DC's "Back in Black" instead. 3. Use a bass player. 4. Make an efort this time. No more "Still Burnin's" please. 5. For the title, don;t use the the words "rocks" or "rock you" so avoid, for instance, callng it "Queen+ Will Rock You". 6. Get someone who knows what s/he is talking about to write the notes on th CD. 7. Do it. Don;t just promise you will do it like the proposed Hammersmith DVD. 8. Brian, take a break from the London musical theatre scene for 6 months and go hang around with some of your old friends like Tony Iommi and Slash. Maybe some of their rock mojo will rub off on you again ... |

For fuck's sake people, please stop getting ahead of yourselves and look at the facts: - Brian said, or has been quoted as saying "going through some old drawers" and "As well as seeing what we can unearth, we want to do a new musical to follow We Will Rock You. The songs are there, it’s just a question of finding time to get the right production" - The rest of the content, including the obligatory sensationalist headline, came from the fingers and hyperbolic and judicious-with-the-truth mind of some journo from The Daily Star, the UK's 2nd trashiest "newspaper". What was the context in which Brian said what was quoted? What leading questions might have been put to him? How do the quotes on their own equate to Queen being reborn, or Bri and Rog producing a new album of leftovers? They don't. Come on. This is how tabloids operate. They get a quote or two, if they can be bothered, and if they can't they might make some up and attribute them to an anonymous source or close friend, they strip all context from the situation, and present whatever parts of the quote, in isolation, support in some vague and tangential way the story they have decided to spin. I don't believe for one minute this is anything to get excited about. We know Bri and Rog have been "going through some old drawers", as they've confirmed the MJ tracks are being looked at, we've had the bonuses on the reissues, the SiS content, the BBC docu etc etc etc. He could easily have been referring to that kind of thing. I'm happy to be proved wrong. Well, maybe not. I can't see that a MIH2 would be any good at all. |

I send long ago letter he didn't answered=========================== He don't has to answer. Just let him know... that will be fine. 2. Man.... maudlin shit... i get the notion, but i thought that was a solid album. Considering a song like "My Life Has Been Saved" had been worked on during THE MIRACLE...(and a bout with a potentially fatal virus) i think it was appropriate to revisit it...maybe John was giving something. Songs like YOU DONT FOOL ME and A WINTERS TALE weren't in the vein of desperation either. In MY opinion (*just noting that its opinion)... the only one that shouldn't have been on there was "I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU"... but hell, that made a cohesive album. Didn't realise so many people ragged on MIH. 3. DEFINITELY spot on... no one uses melody like John Deacon... however, any decent bassist would add a better dimension rather than merely sounding like a "guitarist playing bass" just doubling parts. 4. Hilarious.... U mean u didn't like that whole tagged on bit... (that sounded like a bad 80's song).. ROCK N ROLL NEVER DIE!!.. ??? (there were good tracks on TCR...about 4 +1/2) 5. now THAT is scary... +cast of WWRY u mean?? ((shivers)) 6. ...which was SORELY lacking on a certain boxed set i purchased in 1998 8. Slash pounds burgers these days... but yeah... that's the only TONY he should be considering... (take THAT, Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Theatre, Theatre Wing and Broadway League!) nvm... i dont think the Tony's apply here... what's a UK equivalent?... i'm sure larger near complete songs exist. Whatever's been exhibited to the public has been largely parts of the sketching stage. Since no one's yet to take a stab at an Album Title (and it'll soon be a forum topic)... how bout a line from Fred. "Three old Queens just rocking away" ;-) the following done purely for humor, bad or good. or... "Queen XVI" "Queen: It's Not Wembley Again, Be Happy" "The Queen Cache (in)" ... like The Who's THE WHO SELL OUT... "Queen: At Long Last... a Gift to Our Message Board Trolls" "Queen: Unseen/Unheard, Unearthed..." "Queen, At Last!" (packaged in a file folder) "Property of Queen Productions, Property of Queen Productions" Yes BOHARDY... it sounds reasonable that this is a misinterpretation... To me it sounded as if the tracks were for the WWRY SEQUEL.... rather than a proper Queen Album. Still it's an exciting thought. |

| Ale_Pisa 29.10.2011 12:49 |
If they do a "second" made in heaven album, they use some "complete tracks". I think there's a lot of finished but "not so good tracks"... for example Let Me In (Your Heart Again) from 1984. This is a list of complete recording: Feel Like Let Me In There Must Be More To Life Than This (with MJ) State Of Shock (with MJ) Victory (with MJ) Polar Bear Self Made Man There's an advanced "Works" cassette with Man On Fire, maybe a demo sung by Freddie? Love Kills (different lyrics with Brian and Roger) Rock It (studio version, Freddie on vocal) Other complete tracks? |
| kosimodo 29.10.2011 14:26 |
Additional singer are sometimes welcome.. Rod Steward, Andy Gibb and Micheal Jackson could be some of the names. |

Ale_Pisa wrote: Feel Like Rock It (studio version, Freddie on vocal) Other complete tracks? "Feel Like" is UP demo so what they should do with this? Make a new song? Bad idea. "Polar Bear" is very old song. Doesn't fit. The same as Hangman or Feelings. "Rock It" is released song. Why put released song again? BTW- they had chance to put Freddie's version on deluxe disc.... * Let me in * Freedom Train (?) some Rog/The Cross tracks ? * Face it Alone (finished with Bri/Rog vocals) * Fallin Out (finished with Bri/Rog vocals) * You are the Only One (finished with Bri/Rog vocals) * Affairs ((finished with Bri/Rog vocals) + some unleaked songs like Friends in Pain? Songs like Robbery, Self Made Man, My Secret Fantasy are bad and I don't think that they can make it much better. |
| people on streets 30.10.2011 12:13 |
"Let me in" would be great. Hope it will be a single. Could be a massive smashhit. |
| Donna13 30.10.2011 12:55 |
I'm confused. Are they just going through their old unused recordings for the purpose of finding new songs for a new musical? Or are they working on a new release for us to hear Freddie on some "new" songs in addition to working on a musical using all separate material? Or are they going to do a movie musical using new talent plus original recordings from the band as part of the soundtrack or is this related to the on hold movie about Freddie possibly? Or are they doing a WWRY Part Two that will continue the story - whatever that was - and giving the audience more amazing Queen songs we are already familiar with, plus the exciting bonus of never released Queen songs? Whatever they are up to, I'm all for it. I do think the key to future big success is to go back to the original magical combination of the four ... music they all worked on together. |
| bigV 30.10.2011 16:18 |
@shamar "Self Made Man" is really a matter of taste. You may think that it's bad. I think that it's one of the finest songs Queen never released. "Innuendo" would have been a stronger album with it. V. |
| Queenman!! 31.10.2011 02:52 |
I thought a bit about the various songs where Roger and Brian sung the lead vocal (demo's) because it was their song. From the various interviews I heard it seem Freddie only did the lead vocal if they decided that would be on the album (for example Ride the Wild Wind, Hitman , Days of Our Lives from Innuendo written by Roger and Brian) and the ones that possibly be on the album. So for the ones that didn't made the album I highly doubt, surely for the last albums Miracle, Innuendo and MIH, if these have a good full vocal track of Freddie. |
| Dane 31.10.2011 05:22 |
How about: "Some Music Lost and Found" ;) They should get Mack or Roy Baker to co-produce just to get back into that oldskool sound. Instead of those way too flangy swooshing bigger than life sounds they had on TCR. WARBOYS could have sounded like THIS!! |

I know that the Jacksons track VICTORY (or perhaps even a totally different song altogether than the Jacksons) was recorded with QUEEN. (or so i've been told) People on the "inside" have been working on MJ stuff and demos since the poor guy died. Studio guys as well. Onesuch Steve Lukather (session guitarist for MJ from Thriller - HISTORY...maybe even futher on) has commented on LEAKED tracks that were BEING CONSIDERED FOR USE ON MICHAEL (that mishhash cash-in that i never wanted to buy) ...but MANY WERE NOT USED. (probably put on the back burner for future release) I've read his comments on his FB page (i own a Steve Lukather MusicMan Guitar...have been a fan of his playing... *NOT NECESSARILY of his band TOTO) he's commented on fan comments about LEAKED songs that were considered for the "MICHAEL" album. As i've heard others comment elsewhere, there may or may not be much finished material WORTH seeing the light of day... (but if we are to consider Michael's words... there's TONS of it... left for his posterity - ON PURPOSE) judging from that album and it's questionable tracks, u wouldn't guess... anyways, enough of my rambling... hopefully if the remaining members consider doing it again, they wont butcher the original takes with pitch shifting crap, and will keep the taste involved. The Steve Lukather MJ track i mentioned was called "12 o' clock"... go look it up. I've heard they might be saving the QUEEN + MJ tracks for a MICHAEL JACKSON "DUETS" album... since they hold right to use his name and visage at the moment. |

is gre@t news reg new freddie vocals will appear very soon i hope on a new album in the very near future,my point is these tracks should of been on 1995 mih album,a album wich pre,queen trully screwed up,mih was supposed to be a queen album not a tribute album,it seems to me it was a tribute album poorly done,but anyway i hope theres at least 12 great freddie tracks maybe a demoe of orijinal tracks featured on 2nd cd i doubt it very much theres no hope with pre,queen theyv let us down for many years tearing fans apart many who are on the dole who struggle to save for queen stuff,anyway lets see scandal pops over? |

I know that the Jacksons track VICTORY (or perhaps even a totally different song altogether than the Jacksons) was recorded with QUEEN. Apparently it's approved as it is, otherwise the Estate would have NOT handed over the original demo multitracks for those three songs already! Those two demos that were leaked came from a stereo cassette tape owned by Peter Freestone, who (along with Gary Taylor under his employ at the time) USED to play their tapes strictly for friends back in the day when Peter used to run his hotel. UNFORTUNATELY, some people turned out not to be so trustworthy and made copies for themselves, which is the leaked demos you lot got. Same thing was the case with the Hot Space demos. One last thing, the original Victory demo was never originally recorded with Queen to begin with! It was just Freddie and Michael, like the other two demos. One fun bit Peter Freestone personally told me at Breakthru earlier this year: HE actually played "bass drum" on that particular demo using the bathroom door at MJ's residence! (Remember, MJ had a known history of recording scratch demos in his washroom, since assumingly the tiled floors and ceramics gave just the right amount of natural reverb) |

Well... *PUBLISHED... they will not be published until the Label decides to release it then. Thanks for clearing that up. I'd heard the thing about the full band before.

So, what was the point to say by May / Taylor : We're working on MJ tracks? Probably the same as : Hey, we're working on Antology (10 years ago). And yeah. I know "Do U know where U children R". It's good song. |

It's possible Brian and Roger were working on the MJ tracks for a much rumoured posthumous MJ duets album that WAS supposedly to appear by the end of this year, but with no official news about such a project and as well the "Immortal" Cirque du Soleil soundtrack CD's coming out this month, it's either not happening OR it's been postponed. However, MJ's Estate did say that "Immortal" would NOT be the last posthumous album (well, of course not! Everyone knows MJ was a major workaholic when it came to working on songs, whether in demo or complete form!), so never say never. |

Speaking MJ-- i liked the usage of such a thing on "THREATENED" with Rod Serling's "vocal rap" let's hope there's TONS of source material... so the songs dont come off sounding like Jim Morrison's last stuff... As for the estate.. i'm surprised they haven't rushed something out for New Years or 2012... ...considering the marketing spiel is that "we'll all be dead" doomsday,. ;) |

Actually, considering Immortal's soundtrack wasn't even announced until 3 months prior (ditto with Amy Winehouse's posthumous compilation album....I hope this is not a new trend in the music industry, because I hate finding about new releases at the last minute!), that's pretty close in my books to "rushing out" products. They did the same thing with last year's "Michael" album, and that was a mistake. They REALLY should have announced and promoted it sooner, I'm not surprised it only got to no. 3 at best. |

Wont hold my breath, considering the source of this. But if there are things that could be worked on, this would be the time to do it. Theres the anniversary, new musical coming out, new record company etc. Brian and R oger are in their early 60s, so if they have any loose ends to tie up this is the time. Springsteen and the rolling stones have both finished old incomplete recordings and released them to some acclaim in the last years. Is said that a lot of things have been found in the archives. There is no reason why more complete versions of what we have heard wont exist as well as things we dont know about. Maybe there were tracks considered for MIH that didnt fit on that album. There are also some good Freddie solo tracks that could be used. Maybe Brian and Roger have old demos or ideas of themselves that they could sing. But a thing like this would have to be really good. And they should get a producer, like RTB or Mack that were mentioned. But in the end, I wont hold my breath. Just my two cents. |

I listened to Freddie's last interview today, Queen For An Hour and it was interesting what he had to say regarding stuff in the vaults. He said that for The Miracle they had to choose from about 30 songs!! He also didn't say the other 20 songs were of poor quality neither, he said that there's good stuff unreleased from earlier albums and 'to the band's detriment' they haven't got round to finishing it, because each time they enter the studio all they want to do is concentrate on their fresh stuff. Sounds like there could be some good stuff out there if they look! |

there are no plans for future release new album on based demo records Freddie link Queen drummer Roger Taylor has officially debunked recent reports regarding plans for a new album from the band that would feature Freddie Mercury’s vocals taken from demo recordings.In an exclusive conversation with Ultimate Classic Rock, Taylor said that while there are no plans for such an album, they are indeed working to prepare songs that Mercury recorded with Michael Jackson for future release.“I’ve got to tell you, there won’t be an album. There’s just not enough and the last thing I want to do is have a sort of barrel-scraping exercise. But there’s a couple of great tracks that Freddie recorded with Michael Jackson that Brianand I are working on and they are good. So at some point they will surface I think when we feel it’s a good moment. I don’t really want to ride any sort of wave there. So that’s an interesting thing, but that will be probably later some point next year.”Taylor will be in Los Angeles on Monday to judge the final round of auditions for the ‘Queen Extravaganza,’ a North American talent search that he created to build the group of musicians and singers who will help to celebrate the music and legacy of Queen. This new group will serve as the officially-sanctioned band for the 2012 Queen Extravaganza Live tour. Stay tuned for the rest of our conversation with Roger, which will be online soon! |

It's a shame and it isn't simultaneously. The worst thing is that the release of the demos in ANY form (reworked or original untouched) is postponed and without anniversaries (eg. Queen 50th anniversary : Ultra-rare deluxe editions) or RT and BM's decision to release the Queen anthology, there isn't a chance for the demos to surface. On the other side, the good thing is that the chance that they will ruin the now-rejected new-album simply ceased to exist. Personally, I guess that they're just tired and they might feel as they aren't at their peek when it comes only to vocal skills as the demos obviously for sure require not only reworking in the terms of backing track and instruments but mainly require completing vocals. They've had their chance at digging deeper into the vaults when it comes to audio-visual material (audio along with gigs) [GB & JSS and the team did great stuff collecting, cataloguing everything and presenting their ideas to RT & BM] but they FAILED. To conclude the only chance to hear what Freddie left behind is to wait for an anthology. Am I dreaming ? Pity.... Cheers ! |
