I just found out about this book today, and I'm really excited now. I want it for my birthday, which is coming up soon. It's so expensive though. Over $400! And that's not even the Deluxe version! The Deluxe version is completely out of the question though, mainly since there are no more copies left! Even if there were, it would've still been way too expensive. I guess this would be my only birthday present. I am willing to sacrifice getting SHA, ANATO, and ADATR (what I originally wanted for my b-day), for this book. I assume I'll also have to use any birthday money given to me. It's all worth it though...
I'm happy for anyone who has the means to collect such things. Personally I'm more into just the music.
I've never understood the fascination with still photos really. Except maybe those which induce orgasm. I look once and then forget about them.
If you don't have Queen, Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack, then buy those along with the book!
I played those albums while reading the book because the story that is told in the book is about the days of (making and releasing) those albums. It brings you even more back in those days when you hear them and seeing the pics and reading the story that go along with it.
I want this book so fucking badly. I think it may even be a bigger deal to me than when I got my iPod, which is practically connected to me like an umbilical cord. I don't let anyone touch my iPod either. So this is a BIG deal.
$400!! i dont even think i HAVE $400! well i do, but im going to New Caledonia (*sarcastically* yay....im so excited. i cant even speak the stupid language!!!) i already have all Queen CDs...sweet....and the only 4 DVD for sale in Australia...i think im doing well, considering i only foud out about them a year ago!!! next thing im buying is a drum kit...i just want to hit the drums and tell everyone im making music and im have talent (which is obviously a lie!!!) then ill learn all the Queen songs... well the percussion parts, then write my own music (or put music to my lyrics!), become rich and famous as a rock star...marry Roger Taylor (fantasies taking over now) then die the rock and roll way, at a young age, with lots of money. ahhhh...the sweet life
Some, and I mean the cheap ones, cost $400, and less. 'Cause my brother got a drum set from a magazine (Musicians Choice) and they were labeled CB Drums, and we came up with a nickname for them: Can Brake Drums. More of a stupid joke, but we laughed when he got them. But if you want a good, sturdy drum set, get one that cost more than $400.
I would NEVER buy this crappy book, I saw it ones and I think it's Rubbish. The photos are very unproffessional and teh story is well known. I think people like Mick rock has to stop making easy money from their long long deleted past and go on an prove that they are good photographs as well in a modern area
