brian may is a liar! he has no intention what so ever to finish any queen projects! He's too busy touring with kerry ellis and adam lambert. If he really cared about freddie, queen, and the fans; he would get to work on the anthology project or the new queen album. Same goes for Roger taylor. Bunch of greedy liars. |

They enjoy performing. In the music world sense. They may be trying to STACK the DECK in order to assure sales on the next product |

I understand they enjoy playing, but we've been waiting ten years for this queen anthology package to come out. what a joke. I hate queen now! |

Well, somehow I understand you. It really drives me mad at times because they don't release anything worthwhile anymore. Only leaves without figs and nothing more. But let's hope we see the release of Rainbow later this year. |

After Q+AL tour is over, I can only hope Brian and Roger will focus on the Queen music. |

yes, a rainbow release would be great! i only have a poor quality vhs version. |

I'm in total agreeance. Being a queen fan is incredibly frustrating. Brian in particular teases us with releases 'in the pipeline' and the news of a new album. We all get excited and then nothing ever materializes. Rainbow,Hammersmith,the lost opportunity with the extra tracks on the remastered albums in 2011. All we get is badgers and Kerry Ellis. Hardcore fans (not glambert fans) have had enough!! |
| FreddieCat 06.04.2014 00:03 |
They have mentioned putting together an album with whats-his-face after the tour. |

Brian"s works with Kerry, including concerts and albums, is very separate of Queen. Although the duet covers Queen songs, they market their work as their own duet. As with other artists, principally Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert, Brian and Roger refer to themselves as Queen when collaborating with them. This IMHO is the slippery shadowy element of the current Queen work. If an album is made with Adam Lambert, will Freddie's 3 MJJ tracks go on the album, plus any other Freddie work stashed in a drawer somewhere? Very possibly so. This has been discussed well on QOL, so my humble apologies for bringing it up here, but this seems to be the moment. My only take on it is Brian and Kerry, though a distraction from Queen work, do not affect Queen marketing and products in any way, and profits from the Candlelight Acoustics concerts and albums go largely to charitible orgs, mainly lions and badgers, but also probably cancer organizations. So the issue at hand, IMO. is where will Q+ put its energy and materials. Current ideas seemingly are not pretty, but I would humbly ask to separate Kerry's partnering with Brian on Candlelight concerts from these zany Q+ projects. Meanwhile, I will continue to place Candlelight concerts in the Personal QZ subforum to emphasize the separate nature of their work from Queen. |

Remember the press release recently where Queen renewed their contract with Universal Records? From the press release: 'Switzerland, December 2, 2013 -- Queen and Universal Music Group have renewed their partnership with a new, long term deal that will herald a range of exciting projects from the band including a raft of rare and unreleased material and a film. ' 'Max Hole, Chairman and Chief Executive of Universal Music Group International said: “We have loved working with Queen over last three years. Queen remains one of the biggest, boldest and most influential bands in the world. The band and Universal Music have lots of ambitious plans for the future”. ' So you would think that not only have the fans been promised things from QP over the years but now Queen have signed another contract with Universal that has signified their future intent. I can imagine Universal would have an idea what fans have been asking for through market research and understand how much the demand will be for certain Queen related products. They must know that unreleased material WILL sell well as the contract does cover a lot of territories where Queen is still popular. The MJ tracks in particular must have been a good bargaining chip for QP to get the best deal. Universal WILL expect this material to be released eventually otherwise their relationship could be fractured. When this will be is anyones guess as QP's rush towards releasing their product (for 1970-1997) is glacial at best. |

Hopefully work will not be hastily thrown together. After returning from the tour in late summer, the temptation to toss everything sloppily in a soup in order to satisfy promises is a bit worrisome. It would be disappointed at best to see Brian and Kerry's CA tracks included in an album combining full classical Queen, QAL, and FM/MJJ material. A sickening thought for sure. B&K's Candlelight Acoustics for me is Dr. May's compassion signature, and some of his most elegant and beautiful work. It deserves its own place away from other projects. AL fans may feel the same about QAL work. Separate project albums are needed with careful fastidious thought for organizational quality and artistic value, IMO. ~Time waits for nobody... |

Being a fan of Queen = More disappointments than triumphs. It's gotten to the point I only consider myself a fan of Freddie and John. If Brian & Roger don't come through with this alleged MIH 2 like deal (with Freddie) then they are wankers and I know I'll move on away from their nadir |
| the dude 1366 06.04.2014 18:48 |

I too remember millennial announcements about a package in 2004 . Fortunately for me life has been far too interesting/problematic/unusual these past couple of years to give much of a crap about it. I don't understand why (what's left of) the band don't take it on themselves either. There has yet to be an accurate video account of this EXEMPLARY band from the 1970's. That's embarrassing. It's HOW they accomplished so much. From the talented niche they were |
| Wijnand 07.04.2014 03:34 |
I wouldn't call Brian a liar... If he states that something will be released before a centain date, I believe that (at that point) it was the intention to do so... Lot''s of other things come and came along... To quote John Lennon: "Life is what happens to you, while you're busy making other plans..." And yeah... from our (fans) point of view, it is maybe disappointing that some (lots) things are postponed, delayed, or won't happen at all... But i.m.o. there we're some nice releases the last year: Roger - The Lot Roger - Fun on Earth Brian - Montreux dvd +cd Queen - The studio experience Queen - mini LP reclica's re-release Queen - Live in Rio (finally officially released) And: Brian - tour with Kerry Ellis Roger - Re-union concert The Cross Queen Extravaganza Tour Q+AL tour So why ALWAYS complaining? Please enjoy what we get and got, instead of moaning about what not... |
| Dunno223 07.04.2014 04:46 |
I see some hate for the May / Ellis collaboration here and I'm not quite sure why. Their projects together are nothing to do with Queen, bar occasional covers during concerts. So, what exactly are you people saying - that because Freddie Mercury died Brian must never work with anyone else or do anything musically again? That's what is sounds like you're saying. I'm not mad for the Queen + AL collaboration, but the same thing kind of applies to this too. Freddie Mercury passed away twenty-two years ago, and this was tragic and a huge loss to world. But because of this many people believe that Brian and Roger should quit what they've been doing for the previous twenty years and stop playing songs which they wrote for a band which they started. Is that fair? Not really. I would much rather see B & R perform with an established musician rather than a product of the reality TV world. But, in this day, that's the nearest to Queen you're going to get. Brian and Roger won't be around forever, so embrace the fact that part of Queen is still alive in your lifetime, because there will be new fans in thirty years time who won't be old enough to see any member of Queen live. And these future fans will be only too pleased if someone offered them a chance to go back and see just two members of the group play. |

(Yes, that p.o.s.) it seems like there won't be studio backing behind such a release and that it's unlikely to occur at this point. I am however VERY grateful that they will Tour this year.
