Freddie Mercury Box Set HELP
| MenthylatedGin 11.05.2004 21:47 |
Ok, I know this is a bit odd but I need help. Ok, I've bought the Freddie Mercury Untold Story, and the Freddie Mercury video collection, ALSO the three CD box set...and, I REALLY REALLY want to hear the rarrities!! I was wondering if any of you own the box set and have the CD's and would be kind enough to burn me copies of Rarities 1, 2 and 3. I WOULD pay you!!! ( 20 dollars possibly?) I was thinking that we could do the exchange somehow on ebay or something...( I don't want to appear as a stalker, or gain a stalker on my part. ^_^) If you are kind enough to help out a fellow Queen/Freddie Mercury fanatic, respond to this or email me!! PLEASE! menthylatedgin@yahoo.com PS- I know about Kazaa and all of those, but I have a mac and Kazaa doesn't work with that ( Unless I have to pay for it...and I'm too cheap...as you can tell ^^;;) Pleeaaase! |

"I've bought the Freddie Mercury Untold Story" Uh...Hmm... Can you see what I see?? |
| Maz 12.05.2004 01:22 |
Yeah, something ain't right 'bout that. |
| Pim Derks 12.05.2004 02:27 |
She/he probably bought a copy of some lame bootlegger... |
| FriedChicken 12.05.2004 07:19 |
just buy the box set you %&@@! |
| Fenderek 12.05.2004 08:25 |
No f**king way... |
| MenthylatedGin 12.05.2004 17:24 |
Jeez...ok...you don't need to be so mean. If your goig to say no, just don't respond. I don't need your fucking sarcasim. And for your information, I bought "The Untold Story" on eBay, go check it IS on there...You people have no respect for others. I get sick of you all being so mean to everyone because you think you are better than them. Or because they don't "know" Queen as well as you do...I've read some of the responses to "newbie" Queen fan questions and you are just terribly rude to them. Some of you are older and should know better. It's appauling to see what some of the people in this notice board treat others....If your going to be rude just shut the fuck up...( if your smart you would understand the metaphor...) |
| FriedChicken 12.05.2004 17:30 |
" bought "The Untold Story" on eBay, go check it IS on there..." Thats a bootleg |
| Pim Derks 12.05.2004 17:32 |
yeah, we're rude. maybe you should join the Queenonline forum. |
| Adam Baboolal 12.05.2004 17:45 |
I can't believe that somehow the zoners are to blame for their harshness here! lol. Here we have someone asking us to illegally copy something that is readily available and WE'RE the bad guys for being defensive about it?? Not only that, but apparently buying an illegal copy of The Untold Story on ebay is somehow ok. We are proud fans and for that we protect what should be protected. We guard our purchases from such treatment that you think is ok. When a much wanted product comes out, we buy it. NOT download it. And if we don't have the money, then we wait, save and hope that we get the chance to own it properly. If anyone should be angry it was us. Hence the replies. What did you expect?? Adam. |

"yeah, we're rude. maybe you should join the Queenonline forum." They'll eat you alive over at QOL... very very mean people. |
| Daburcor? 12.05.2004 17:56 |
"They'll eat you alive over at QOL... very very mean people." There ARE some meanies there! LOL! But, There are some nice people there too. Me for instance. ;D |

If I could afford it, I'd gladly share the tracks via high quality MP3s, but I wouldn't burn discs. The price is ridiculous in my opinion. I'm spending $100 a month to get the card sleeves 3 at a time, but I don't have $230 to spare all at once. So I understand where you're coming from. Sorry you got such nasty responses. |
| Maz 12.05.2004 18:47 |
You ask for something illegal, something that many of us saved and bought properly, and when you get less than perfect responses, you label us as rude. I know where you are coming from, too, but that doesn't make it right. |
| Mayboy 12.05.2004 19:10 |
If u wanted it that badly, u would buy it surely Personally i had to save up for months to be able to afford this, so its all mine lol |
| suckerpunch 12.05.2004 20:27 |
lol i bought mine on the day of release £110 quid i think.... i nearly bought two.... one to keep sealed-up & un-used i should have.... be worth quite a bit i think |
| Adam Unger (QueenVault.com) 13.05.2004 00:28 |
I'd recommend buying it anyway. It's well worth every penny and one of the (if not the best) product released by Queen Productions. |
| sir vinou 13.05.2004 01:42 |
i will copy those CD's for you for free, don t pay atention to what they say.. just send me an e-mail... |
| Pim Derks 13.05.2004 02:26 |
Yeez, there's always some stupid f*ck around who thinks it's right to copy cd's for people who can't afford the real thing... I don't have anything against downloading (I download tons of stuff myself too) but if you really like it, you should buy it. As you're here on a Queen forum, you obviously like it, so you should buy it. You can get the FM boxset for probably around a $100 on eBay... Don't come crying "I asked my dad and he wouldn't buy it for me" and other crappy stuff - everyone one of us here worked/saved for it too. |
| Pim Derks 13.05.2004 02:26 |
"How many of you have the outer cardboard box with the statement about the Parsi ceremony included on the untold story?" Yeah, got that. |
| Mr. Scully 13.05.2004 02:40 |
"The price is ridiculous in my opinion. I'm spending $100 a month to get the card sleeves 3 at a time, but I don't have $230 to spare all at once." $100 for a large book, 10 CD's and 2 DVD's is ridiculous? Silly opinion from somebody who spends the same money on 3 CD's. I remember I actually had to borrow money for the FM box set the month it came out because I was completely broke. But it was very well worth it. |
| Penis - Vagina 13.05.2004 12:07 |
$100? You and Pim are mad. I'll gladly buy it for $100 if that price is ever available. The new price is currently around $230. We're talking U.S. dollars. |
| Daburcor? 13.05.2004 12:23 |
"You hopeless piece of trash" Was that ABSOLUTELY necessary? There's no need to result to fighting over a topic like this! |
| Penis - Vagina 13.05.2004 12:55 |
LOL. I just love rich fuckers who are such assholes about what they have and others don't that they go so far as to condemn other rich folk for sharing. Anyone who won't share with another fan who can't afford something doesn't deserve to be a fan and can rot in hell as far as I'm concerned. |

| FriedChicken 13.05.2004 12:57 |
How would you feel if you bought all the albums, and had some lazy ass asking all the time if you could copy all of them for free |
| Penis - Vagina 13.05.2004 13:05 |
If someone bought this other stuff and couldn't afford the big box, I'd gladly give them HQ MP3s to enjoy until they can afford the box. Man I've had it with this place. |
| Daburcor? 13.05.2004 13:14 |
"How would you feel if you bought all the albums, and had some lazy ass asking all the time if you could copy all of them for free" I've had that happen. One of my brother's friends asked me for them sometime last year, and I copied every single one of them for him... And I don't even like the guy! I think it's a good thing to share with people. Some people simply can't afford some things. That's not to say that one day they won't be able to buy it, just, for the time being, for some reason or another, they can't. Of course, It is all a matter of opinion as far as sharing things like this goes... As with anything really. |
| Adam Baboolal 13.05.2004 15:18 |
Sendit.com = link = £99 BRAND NEW. Not bad. I bought my set at MVC.co.uk when it was £55! I make practically nothing, but I know I wanted it enough. I've also seen it on Ebay a few times going from £30-90! Why not seek out these alternatives first, eh? link - £40 start. link - Again, £40 start. link - £67 start. And the auction below is exactly what us fans don't like to see - link - The guy is also selling the Mr Bad Guy session cd. Peace, Adam. |

MenthylatedGin, Perhaps this is what you might want to do (which I have done): Get sample files (snippets of songs) from various sites/fileshare programs. Look at the catalogue. Get used to them. Then go out and buy the boxset. That's what I always do before I buy any CD. But if you aren't willing to spend the money to buy the boxset, then you probably don't want it bad enough. Don't you hate the feeling of having a "fake" anyways? Even if I have everything copied I'd still buy the real one just to have "genuine" item. |
| MenthylatedGin 14.05.2004 17:18 |
Maan, have I caused a rukus ( can't remember how to spell it...brain fart...) Well, I WOULD like to buy the genuine edition, but, I just can't afford it. If anything at all...I mean, I didn't know bootlegging and copying CD's was illegal...So, I'm sorry...and I appologize for offending you. But, I'm not lazy, I work very hard in school and make honor role out of GT classes. So, I do try hard, I'm just not rich. You can't tell the whole story after reading the first page... ( Thank you Dan Coroson, Buggery, and Kuku for being respectful, and defend me even though you don't even know me...kudos! ^_^ ) Adam- I didn't ask the CD's to be burned for free, I did offer money....check for youreslf...^_^ PS- I do live in the US...so it does cost more... |
| Adam Baboolal 14.05.2004 17:32 |
"I didn't ask the CD's to be burned for free, I did offer money....check for youreslf.." lol. Hmm... I hardly think $70 is much. When I bought the set for $100, I was out of work (No gov.cash). Could just afford it by selling something I owned - and it was soooo worth it. My advice, like someone has already said, listen to some mp3s that are lying around places. But don't get someone to copy the cds. You'll want to read the book at the same time because there are notes/stories for every track. And it brings the experience up a level upon listening for the first time. Hate to use this one but, the first listen cannot be repeated. The feeling won't be the same. Just some friendly advice. Peace, Adam. |
| MexQueenFM 14.05.2004 21:39 |
A person that doesn't buy the original stuff is not a fan, they are just a parasite |
| Pim Derks 15.05.2004 04:20 |
* waits for some idiot to come along and say "I've got the whole book scanned with all the mp3s on a cd-rom".... |
| MenthylatedGin 15.05.2004 13:08 |
Thanks for calling me a parasite. Name calling. Nice. |

| Penis - Vagina 15.05.2004 16:17 |
Brian was talking specifically about tracks from 46664, not a $230 box set which someone had already purchased half the contents of. |
| Pim Derks 15.05.2004 16:21 |
"Half-the-contents" 3 cd's, 1 dvd and a bootleg-copy of another dvd? That's 5 cd's/dvd's in total, in a box which includes 12 cd/dvd's plus a beautiful book/packaging. |
| Adam Baboolal 15.05.2004 16:47 |
Look, you can't argue that you're in the right. However, people like Pim and myself know that you are in the wrong on this one. And with my above advice, I think you should take it. Otherwise, you'll regret it later on. Peace, Adam. |
| Penis - Vagina 15.05.2004 17:19 |
Why don't you fuck off and die Adam, you ignorant, annoying little twit. |

| Pim Derks 15.05.2004 18:09 |
It seems these people think you have to be RICH to purchase these items... Well, I'm not RICH at all - I just prefer spending my money on stuff which I LIKE instead of paying 2 euros for a glass of beer in a disco/club, which I HATE. I don't give a fuck if people copy stuff, but they shouldn't come asking for it here, at a FAN-forum. People who download stuff WHICH IS EASILY AVAILABLE in the shops are not fans (at all) in my opion. |
| Adam Baboolal 16.05.2004 09:47 |
DF, what the hell did I do to receive such a harsh response? :S I merely spoke the truth. I'd already said that sharing a few MP3s is fine, but to get those cds will hurt the feeling than actually 'experiencing' the boxset to its fullest. Which is why I said, he/she will regret it later. Like I said, just some friendly advice. Peace, Adam. |
