Live Aid II

This was in the paper. And although you shouldnt believe all you read in the paper I believe this. Apparently Bono and Blackadder writer Richard Curtis are going to organise it. Artists expecting to perform are Paul Mcartney, Oasis, Robbie Williams, Coldplay and U2. It will be 'Bigger and Better than before'. Which is doubtful. Maybe Rog and Bri will pay a visit...? |

For Queen Live Aid would be very, very sad. 1985: Glory! Biggest band on the planet. Mostly thanks to Freddie. 2005: Two pathetic old guys who are trying to re-live their glory days. Freddie's gone and has left a too big gap to fill. |

"Two pathetic old guys who are trying to re-live their glory days. Freddie's gone and has left a too big gap to fill." Jeez... |
| Lord Blackadder 31.05.2004 14:51 |
How are Bri and Rog pathetic? Some of you people really need to think before you say things. Isn't Paul Mcartney pathetic then? If people still want to see them, they they can carry on as far as Im concerned |

"2005: Two pathetic old guys who are trying to re-live their glory days. Freddie's gone and has left a too big gap to fill." That's a little judgemental... the only reason I'm against Live Aid 2 is because there never can be something to surpass Live Aid and with the absence of Freddie, it would have a bit of a feeling of sadness. But what you said isn't exactly nice-- if they choose to take part in an event, they very well can! Brian and Roger are in no way pathetic, even though you might not agree with their current projects. |

Sorry but i think you're all missing the point. It wouldn't matter how awful it was or how bad anyone looked as long as they were to raise money |

You can't compare McCartney and Brian/Roger. Macca is making new music and goes on tour to support his new compositions. Brian and Roger are too busy with the musical to make any new music. This doesn't mean they are pathetic but I just wanted to point out you can't compare them. |
| Lord Blackadder 01.06.2004 07:20 |
I can compare who I want to whoever I want, besides that was the only guy I could think of and if it was denied then it was undenied coz Bono will announce it officially some time this week |
| Adam Baboolal 01.06.2004 07:22 |
"Brian and Roger are too busy with the musical to make any new music." Do you have cameras in their houses watching their every move? How else could you know that they aren't making any new music..? :) Am I right in thinking that there are fans that just hate what Brian and Roger do, unless it's new music that's also connected as some major Queen product? I'm starting to wonder about that. And no, I don't mean all fans here. But there are some who I feel could care less about what happens, regardless and would rather sit and slag them off. Peace, Adam. |

I couldn't picture it being big. Not with out...some guy who sings alright. Just make it the cast of 46664 + some shonky shit heads that rap and Bill Clinton doing a sax solo. Fucking brilliant! |

"Do you have cameras in their houses watching their every move? How else could you know that they aren't making any new music..? :)" for God's sake, it's a matter of fact! You can read Brian's soapbox and notice some trips in Spain, Australia, Germany, Russia... Brian talking about stars and galaxies or spitting anger towards those who don't consider him (or his work) too good and you can also feel there's something which didn't go OK between bri and rog... the sentence about "everyone agreed and took the money for all the crap we produced" is important, to me. after all that, we only get 2 or 3 collections and many useless cd singles, mostly about the musicals... and then, where's the anthologic sets??? QUEEN'S box sets... shouldn't i be (and all the other fans) entitled to feel disappointed by dr may and mr taylor choices? especially when i spend every day in my life watching and listening to them, to what they USED TO BE. if this is what we get now...i cant be too happy. i'm glad some people can be satisfied with what brian and roger are doing now: I say lucky you!! cheeeers! |
| Adam Baboolal 01.06.2004 10:54 |
"it's a matter of fact!" Are you trying to argue that Brian reports EVERYTHING he does? I only heard about the Guyton guitars (RS checked in early 2003) when he posted about the copies recently. The only hint he gave was about the original RS being in hospital last year. And remember NOBY? Not again with the box sets. Why anger yourself over something that has not even been announced properly in any news? We know it exists, we know it's being worked on and it's cool to talk and speculate about contents etc. etc. But when you get angry about it not having been completed and released yet? - That's when you have to take a step back and think... That's like people complaining about someone not having completed their album for release! It's just not fair to criticise that because they're figuring out the best way to release their work. Heck, this is the work that wasn't released before. Therefore it's a gift in my eyes. It has been said that they're taking their time to get to the point where they've got the time to dedicate to it. No-one knows when it'll be completed. I've said it before, until we hear facts about the set(s), put it out of your mind. There's no point getting angry about something that is nowhere near finished. In fact, why get angry or annoyed? "i'm glad some people can be satisfied with what brian and roger are doing now: I say lucky you!!" That's because someone like myself has patience and can focus on the positive things. It's not like they're doing any bad at the moment. If you see it as bad, that's a shame. If you dislike it, that's fine. I just don't like comparing the past with the present on this stuff. It can never compare, so it's not fair. Peace, Adam. |

No steps back are needed from me and I thought, before writing. I'm not angry about something not released, I'm disappointed that it can't be finished (and released) just because they are working on less important things (that's in my opion; my personal taste). I find your example about "an artist delaying his album just to make it better" totally wrong, in this discussion; the box sets are not delayed because they need more work on it, but just because the two remaining former Queen member (Brian and Roger) chose to work on other projects (musical, dvd collection, collaborations, one-night-only events and so on). Finally, I wouldn't give a gold medal to those who have "patience and can focus on positive things"...what does it mean? People, as I said, are entitled to be happy or disappointed, if we all thought the same, it would be a worse world. But there's no right or wrong in taste. Do people think that musical around the world should be 1st priority in Bri&Rog mind? Fine, but I will never be satisfied with it since I know THEY could release QUEEN songs with FREDDIE vocals on it. I know, it's been rumored that something similiar will be released...but when? And how many Platinum collection or cast recordings will we buy, until then? You're right, it's not fair to compare past with present. Queen have been almost the best when they were a 4 heads band: John Deacon, Brian May, Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor, ladies and gentlemen. cheers |

Brian and Roger are focussing on the musical etc. right now. But they have said that once that's out of the way (possibly in one years time) the box set will get their full attention. Until then, they've left that in the team's hands. Just remember that they (Bri n Rog) aren't the ones trawling through demos etc. in the vaults, they've got others doing that. Greg heading that one up. So, if you think about it, they're not really needed yet. Not until it's all done. And from recent comments, I get the feeling that Roger would leave that to Brian anyway! hehe And if you reread my post, you'd see that I did agree that we all have our own opinions on this. I just prefer to worry about life, rather than someone elses. :S Peace, Adam. |

"Brian and Roger are focussing on the musical etc. right now. But they have said that once that's out of the way (possibly in one years time) the box set will get their full attention." according to rumours (did even brian mention it in his internet life's diary?)next year the musical will be launched in some countries just like italy, south africa, japan. it's unlike that they won't work on it in USA, so i think the musical matter won't be finished in just 1 year. And then, Brian keeps on working on London's one, making some appearances here and there. Ok, he's just at home, but... "Until then, they've left that in the team's hands. Just remember that they (Bri n Rog) aren't the ones trawling through demos etc. in the vaults, they've got others doing that. Greg heading that one up." I know Greg Brooks is working on it since several years and I've been said from someone who knows him, that the first box would be ready. If you think about it, it can't take so much time to get a decent set ready. "So, if you think about it, they're not really needed yet. Not until it's all done. And from recent comments, I get the feeling that Roger would leave that to Brian anyway! hehe" Indeed, I'm sure they are not so needed in the first part of the project, but they have the final word on everything and I'm sure Brian especially will love to remix some of the tracks with his engineers. And then again, it's not only a matter of time or a matter of Brian and Roger being involved, but it's about priorities. The box sets are not currently a priority. "And if you reread my post, you'd see that I did agree that we all have our own opinions on this. I just prefer to worry about life, rather than someone elses" Oh my God...Yes, I tend to worry about life too but I won't report my problems on a Queen noticeboard. We can talk about Queen here, or am I wrong? :) And then again, I'm not angry neither worried: I am d-i-s-a-p-p-o-i-n-t-e-d from Bri and Rog and whoever else choice of delaying the release of QUEEN stuff in place of something unnecessary (unnecessary to me and to many other fans, right or wrong, like it or dislike it!). cheeers! |

I meant that the London musical is possibly ending next year. Not the other ones in the world! lol |
| deleted user 01.06.2004 18:14 |
I can't see anything to laugh at... you meant London's musical, so what? and do you really think it's London's musical which is keeping our heroes busy? Not flying from Germany to Spain to Australia to Russia? Yeah, it's me saying "lol" now... cheeers! |
| Adam Baboolal 01.06.2004 20:42 |
eh? I think it's funny. Why so serious?? :S |

Ha, ha, ha!!! Another post which ends up in a debate on the box sets. It's fair to say that these elusive tomes are occupying everyone's mind. I can see both your points. Yes, we just have to be patient and trust Brian/Roger to deliver at some point, but also, it's understandable that people are fustrated that nothing's going to be delivered for a while yet. The WWRY site has a timeline stretching into 2005 with a USA tour etc, but what would stop them doing a South American show? Or Africa? (money, probably!!!) I think the box sets are overdue, but also think the musical is a good thing. Remember that there is even less opportunity for fans in far corners of the world to hear Queen music live etc., so this is something for them. However, I do feel that there must be people who have been involved in the musical for long enough to be trusted to take the workload off Brian for new productions (i.e. the original London MD - Mike Dixon was it?!?!?). But it won't happen, as Brian is too much of a perfectionist to leave it to others. So, we have to wait, as Adam says, and be patient. It's a shame Roger's not more into the production as Brian is. He could be playing around with the box sets while Brian's doing the musical. Maybe, he is. As Adam says, we don't know their every move after all. Even if he is, though, we know Brian will have to have his say too, and that brings us to the same postition: a waiting game. Have faith, they will get there in the end, and if the Freddie collection is anything to go by, it'll be worth the wait! |
