Led Zeppelin received a Grammy Award for best rock album of the year. And Queen? know this is a stupid award, but Brian and Roger would finally make a new Queen album with archival recordings of vocals Freddie. It may also will receive a Grammy Award? Led Zeppelin rock legend received, Black Sabbath also, and Queen nothing. Tragedy...
honestly, no seriously - have to ask - can i have some of what you're smoking?
Led zeppelin received their grammy for the Celebration Day live album...released during the nominating period
what did Queen release last year that merited any kind of nomination?
brENsKi... If the album will be good (if they will spend it) and will promote well, they have a chance.
I have to say one thing. You still have a pretensions to me. Don't comment and leave me alone. "Great fan of Queen".
You are an idiot for me because you always say something stupid. Always the same. Only pretensions to me.
no life.
Kacio, that was so wrong. I know what you meant...not necessarily relating to last year, but wondering why Queen have been overlooked in their lifetime. However, to call someone an idiot because they asked you a fair and logical question is a bit OTT. Brenski ain't picking on you. If you want to post on a forum but expect no answers, then you shouldn't post at all.
No matter about winning awards. Brian and Roger could record a great album with archival recordings of vocals Freddie. I am sure. But they don't want...
Kacio, it won't be great...it may be quite good or even passable - but NOT great....it can't be - EVER
50% of the artistic input and quality control are missing
^ yeah, 50% of the artistic input/quality control is missing...but that doesn't mean that Brian and Roger are not capable of producing something great from what they have to work with.
Hopefully they will :)

Wish I could believe that. But frankly, they will probably unearth something of My Life Has Been Saved standard. Listenable, but not good enough to have made it onto any of the regular albums. A Frankenstein of a record is what we have coming, not Innuendo part 2.
Like Made In Heaven you mean? Even though it's a mess of b-sides, bonustracks and unfinished demo's it is still an awesome album and it is definitely in my top 5 Queen albums. I have my doubts too about B+R doing another "Freddie"-album, but maybe lightning will strike twice...? I'd rather see the two of them collaborating on really new material though. I'm sure Brian must've written more since Furia than Still Burnin', Some Things That Glitter and some of the tracks for Kerry.
what's wrong with MIH? ^^^
it's a bit twee, over-sentimental and it really doesn't sound like a Queen album...
It's got some decent tunes on it, and a few sound better on the Cross/Freddie solo albums...add to that Brian's supposed comments about it being "Queen's best album" and I think it's safe to assume that quality control went out the window, when the chief queen passed on
- not a single one of those tracks would've seen the light of day sounding like that - if AT ALL -if Freddie had survived
MIH sounds a little too like "plastic"
I wasn't comparing the forthcoming release against MiH, because the latter contained a few fresh songs and they were actually good. On the reworked ones, I agree with Brenski - oversentimental and plastic sounding. Just like Freddie's Mr Bad Guy album. I just don't think that after 20 more years they discovered something that's actually better. I just don't buy that story! I hope they can prove me wrong.
Mih was the album that got me into queen aswel, its fantastic! They definitely made some dodgy songs better on there. (Don't worry walter white im a sntimental turd too):-)

Ha, chief queen ... I like that.
But a reality check - the Cross were an average band at best. They played derivative rock when most people weren't listening to rock anymore, and most of their music has dated pretty badly. Had a member of Queen not been in the band they wouldn't have gotten past the bar scene. But of course there were a few good songs, most of which were penned by Roger. It's the Queen version of Heaven For Everyone that's magnificent. Leaps and bounds beyond the original.

I'd just say it's well produced. It was 1995, not 1974.
Made In Heaven is one of the grandest achievements of their career. They pieced together an album of leftovers, and it was truly a collaborative venture. 1987-1995 was an incredibly productive period, both as a band and individuals, which is astonishing considering what they went through.
So what if the experience has tinted Brian's glasses a bit? Of course no Queen record is greater than A Night At The Opera. He'd probably be the first to tell you that. But the album is certainly one of their best. I'd argue that side B is the best side of Queen music since The Game.
