Here you have a Roger interview of May 2014.
He talks about Fun On Earth, Queen, Demos (Spaced Out Bootleg), Love Kills, etc.
It's a shame, this interview is in Spanish, and is from a magazine of Chile. Can someone translate it? http://www.rockaxis.com/revista/133/#page/43
AT LAST !!!!
I've been looking for this interview for the last 3 months or so !
indeed, very, very, very interesting; one of the best Roger interviews I've read in recent years, if not the best ! there's a lot of interesting stuff discussed. It's obvious that the journalist is a real fan !
originally issued in a spanish magazine, I'm sure our fellow queenzoner Apocalipsis_Darko may have an english transcription for those who can't read spanish ..... as he was the interviewer, if I'm not mistaken :-)
no es así, Ignacio? ;-)
Hi Vali.
Thanks, again, for your words.
Yes, it was published first in a spanish magazine, december 2013.
And yes, I did the interview in person. Later, like a lot of freelance journalist, I offer to other magazines. This Chile magazine gave to this interview the cover because of Queen six months later. ¿?¿? and change some things. It was not an exclusive to them, and some words are to look like I am from Chile. Not many important things but...
I have the audio, not the english transcription...Sorry.
I usually dont post in this forum, its usually full of trolls and stuff like that, but I log in just to thank BETA215 for the link to the interview and Apocalipsis_Darko for the great interview!
Very interesting and full of interesting details!
I didnt knew Mack and Brian had (or have) some personal issues...
Lots of interesting stuff!
Oh y... Si tienes el número de Sasha Grey?
Just kidding!
I'm going to try to translate something to the english users (an incredible part): It the web, we have a lot of Queen demos. When will a retrospective box with this material come out? Look, I show you a disc with some demos (Spaced Out).
"We have a mix beetween good demos and bad demos. I don't remember all the demos. 'Robbery'... Wait, 'Self Made Man', yes... This is pirate? This are out-takes and rarities... Where they have taken this, and what quality should have... I don't know" Mack comment that. This disc have good quality. And you have pending the Michael Jackson songs that announced.
"Oh, 'Stealin' it's very good. This is very interesting (He asks the assistant to take a photo of the back of the disc). About Michael Jackson, we hope to make come out this song, but the heirs are going very slowly with the copyright"

YouriInterview is wonderful and informative.
Che, muchas gracias por esa entrevista Apocalipsis_Darko! Hacía años que no veía una entrevista tan bien hecha. Se ve que Roger la disfrutó mucho también.
I could traslate the interview, but it will take me some time.
Here a Sample:
I: Your new album is very eclectic. You have been always a man with a very open point of view musically speaking. How have you devolped the creation of this album? I mean, you are the more prolific Queen member, but since "Electric Fire" you haven't release nothing of your own.
R: As you say, it has been a long process. I recorded something a couple days, another couple other... and the years goes by. Brian and I kept us busy. Even today we are busy respect anything related to the band. One of the reasons about why the album sounds eclectic is just that extense lapse of time through the recording. I compared it with a roller-coaster, each song is unique. That is what i wanted, is very boring an album where everything sounds identical.
