One of the best and most popular Russian Queen sites - QueenRocks.Ru blames QueenZoners and 'elite collectors and die-hard Queen fans' for those recent fights between some of QZers and GB/QP.
Admins of QRR made special statement where they wrote that some of QZers are trying to insult Mr Books and saying a lot of rude things to him. QRR statement even says about one of the biggest scandals what would bring because of it and what now someone can get kinda revenge back from Queen Productions (it seems that QRR admins thinks that QP works in the mafia style or something). In the end of statement they gives their support and thanks to Mr Books.
Well... I am not on the side of Mr Stuart or of Mr Books, I wouldn't never blame Queen Productions for the things they're doing (even if it's wrong or could be done better), because they could closed themselves after 'Made In Heaven' and still do nothing at all, but I am very pity that this QZ/GB fuss came over worldwide Queen-net. I just wanted to let you know about this fact (QRR statement).
But for the QRR admins I'd like to say the next: you'd better watch for the guys from your own community - I can tell a little story that happened during Brian's Moscow autograph-session - one of the guys from QRR community starts to shout to Brian: "We Will Rock You - sucks!" (he meant song, not a musical) and things were going on the way to the scuffle, because some out-of-community fans asked him to stop it, but he didn't.
And IMHO - Mr Alan (admin of QRR) if you want to blame QZ or give your support to Mr Brooks (who I respect) - do it on English, not on Russian, because not Greg nor most of QueenZoners doesn't speak Russian.
Note: I have nothing against QueenRocksRu - it's the great site with wonderful articles and rare mp3s and trade/swap section, and I am not 'elite collector' who sleeps with his own 'Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know' original LP, I just wanted some justice and make QueenZoners to know things you've wrote, so don't blame me now!
How you dare to mispell Godfather Brooks' (I wonder if it is a Mel connection here) holy name? Oh shame on you, shame on you! Now the QUEEN Mafia will send you a stone cold crazy hitman to rhapsodize you!
...You're dead!

you should sail away and don´t let the fairy fellar´s master stroke make you join the ogre battle...you know, if it does happen, if you can´t beat them join them, and play the game of love...

Generally, a common attribute of replying to an argument is actually surveying both sides of it.

Is Mr. Orchard getting a reputation of sheltering ruffians and hard-asses?

Serry - I think you've misunderstood Queenrocks.Ru comment. I personally know (for years) Alan - he's nice person and I know he love Queenzone.com, coz QZ is like an alma mater for thousands fans. Concerning this (GB vs some of QZoners) item, I think they (QR) meant that it wasn't good idea (from few queenzoners) to make personal attack on GB and humiliate him. Maybe GB was wrong, but if you are a man ("or just a number?") - be polite and patient or just ignore him.
"Stop all the fighting".

while you truing to work out... they put for download We Are The Champions (Queen+Zemfira+WWRY-Russia Cast) from rehearsals in Kremlin! Wow!
Rambler, as I told I have nothing against of QRR and Alan, I just wanted QueenZoners to know his position, because he didn't write it on English, and I don't know why. If you blame this GB/QP fuss and would like to comment or support Greg - do it here and on English, what's the problem?
I see his position and I can agree at some points, but when he says that someone from QZ would pity about this fuss, what does he means? It's so cheap actually...

I'm still trying to understand how QRR connects with QPR...

Yes - I've emailed him today about this topic. I believe, he don't have enough time to post messages anywhere, even on his own forum. He only find time to held QRR fresh & new for Russian fans, but maybe he wrong in his position - I don't know.
And also, as I understood he don't says "someone from QZ would pity about this fuss". His words were overbroad and diplomatic. I think he actually meant GB (problems for him from his authorities, not for "someone from QZ").
I'm not sure it's a good idea, but you can contact him on ICQ 306956348

I think he meant that Russian sites are second-rated. So why dear Brenski didn't said that all Russians are second-rated people, ah? Thankyou for you opinion, sir.
Well, but actually he wrote that someone would pity - maybe I translated not exactly as he wrote, but he said it.
I know his ICQ#, but I ain't his enemy so I don't see the reasons to talk with him about it. Don't take it too close, there's much other things that Russian Queen fans can speak about.
