hello. i'm a member of a few band forums, recently posting here. however, i've "lurked" for some time. I say this with all honesty and without any ill-intent, but queen fans, taken as a whole, are the most immature, mean-spirited, ignorant, and crabby bunch of music fans out there. i'll continue to lurk, i'll continue to leave my torrents open for many many days in the spirit of sharing the love, but i'm only going to laugh at the squabbling from now on. grow up. am i to belive everybody posting here is 11 years old? it's a damn shame, such a fine band, and i'm sure most fans are great, too bad that doesnt come across very well on the "internets" i can't wait for the response..... |

Couldn't agree with you more, I have been a Queen fan for abot 25 years and can't believe the ill feelings and bitterness towards this new venture. Like I've said before though the people that are whinging now will probably still turn up at the concerts. I really can't believe the neck of the people that are saying that Brian and Roger should be doing this and that when surely its up to themwhat they do! |
karen 20.12.2004 20:24 |
Yes, it seems to be true. I came here to get some discussion on my fav group (and have had some interesting ones don't get me wrong), but people do like to come here & whinge. I guess they enjoy it but, geez, you can have a discussion about the best band in the land without getting nasty & personal... |
Lester Burnham 20.12.2004 20:25 |
They're called opinions. Some are more vociferous with theirs than others, and some believe their opinions are right without so angrily forcing it down other peoples' throats. We could all benefit greatly from humility, especially several people who already posted in this thread. |

Wow! You really don't know me/the majority of people here! Like you said yourself... we may be nice, but it doesn't come across on the internet. Obviously, it doesn't. I might be (and I'm talking about myself, not others here) all those things you mentioned plus a few more (bitch and tart straight from my head) but you do not have the right to judge me, or anyone else here because you don't know us personally. Heaps of people who i don't know very well, call me a bitch...to my face. My friends see that as humour! people see me as a slut... my friends see me as outgoing. So unless you know any of us personally, don't you dare try to make us seem like bad people... because we're not...and stop stalking us. You call it lurking, we (well, i do) call it assult thats my 2cents anyway |
AllDeadAllDead 20.12.2004 22:52 |
first of all, its 'lurker', not 'stalker' ;) second of all, i don't think i was attempting to be 'jesus' with the post. im not judging individuals, i merely said that the community as a whole comes across a certain way, in this forum, especialy recently. i don't know any of you, and i'm sure you are all great. this is just my observation-- lot's of negativity, grumpiness, smart ass-ness. there is more love on the beach boys forum, do you wan't those american pansies to get the better of you!!? ;) |
The Real Wizard 20.12.2004 23:47 |

I agree with you, most of the stuff on this forum is crap, and most posters are under the age of 16. Surely this shouldn't speak for Queen fans as a whole. Most older people have these things called "lives", and don't have time to post 50 times a week like the youngens do. |

I think Roger said it best when he said: "If you don't like us, well...fuck you!" |

YourValentine 21.12.2004 09:50 |
Nothing beats generalisation and overall judging and condemning a whole community. That makes you look like you are such a better person, doesn't it? Of course you are mature and not grumpy, you are the perfect fan this wonderful band deserves. Too bad that you don't bother to be that wonderful example you claim to be. You keep your torrent window open - well that's very nice of you. Many here do that all the time without starting a thread about how much better they are than the rest of the members here. Sorry, but I don't respect you, you are just one of these self important show offs who post their personal rants in the Queen section to get more attention . |
moonie 21.12.2004 11:45 |
Amen to that. |
AllDeadAllDead 21.12.2004 11:59 |

Penetration_Guru 21.12.2004 15:12 |
You're right, we are a bunch of nerds, geeks & retards... HOWEVER.... You should also have noticed that plenty of us are already aware of this fact. And I visit other boards too, and they all have equal afflictions. Care to point to one that doesn't? |
boy of destiny 21.12.2004 16:11 |
I've got to agree with you All Dead. I'm a member of few other sites (sports, music) and on there every fan is treated as an equal. There seems to be an exclusive attitude here that screams, "I'm a bigger fan than you." |
AllDeadAllDead 21.12.2004 16:52 |
it keeps getting better. |

My original post was helping to prove your point.Well, I didn't "see" the sarcasm in your first post on this topic. It didn't come through to me at all. no smiley to give an indication. The printed word is open to the interpretation of the reader, and the internet is the worst culprit for misinterpretation because it's so instant. The writer doesn't really need to "think" about what they write, 'cause there's no "cost" associated with the words being wrong or misinterpreted as the internet is so anonymous. This is why smileys came about; to give the reader a hint of the way to interpret the text. That's my impartial view anyway!!! |

Did anyone moan about the Milton Keynes DVD? The GVH DVDs? Not many, I'd wager. Most probably consider them worthy, satisfying releases. Anyone on here moan about how awful and bland A Night at the Opera is? Nope - but they do about Hot Space, for a goddam reason! We only moan when there's a reason. So stop moaning about us moaning. |
bellydancer 22.12.2004 05:58 |
Speaking as a "mature" fan, I can honestly say I have seen some awful drivel on other Queen sites. However, I also agree with some others that its unfortunate how the integrity of Queen's music has been corrupted by artists who simply don't have the talent. Yes yes, Brian and Roger absolutely have the right to do whatever the hell they want with their music - but for someone like myself who literally grew up with Queen I am somewhat saddened when their brilliant music is ruined - perfect example - the infamous Pepsi ad |
bassist08 22.12.2004 15:16 |
Yes I agree. Though certainly not ALL as in every single one act like this. |
LadyMoonshineDown 22.12.2004 16:39 |
Good golly.... You are going to encounter extremeley stupid people on here. But not only will you encounter the stupid ones, you will also see that rude, obnoxious, antagonizing, arrogant, whiney, sarcastic, and down right funny people harbor here within the Queenzone forums. We have all been one of those once before, I'm sure. I have, I admit it. I won't try and tell all of you how much more 'sophisticated and smarter' I am, because we have all had those moments; some more permanent than others. I know how you feel, but that is the internet for you. Hell, that is life for you as well. You aren't going to just encounter the perfect people.....ANYWHERE. And it isn't just us Queen fans either that are seemingly stupid and what not. But, like all other people, you have an opinion, and I will respect it. But you just have to accept the fact that the world is clouded with idiots, regardless of how you feel about it. My suggestion to you is to not associate with people who cause you to write posts such as this. Cheers |
Lester Burnham 22.12.2004 17:17 |
I like taking the Internet seriously, too! |
LadyMoonshineDown 22.12.2004 17:21 |
I'm not taking it seriously..... I'm just getting a tad bit annoyed. *tad*=how annoyed I am right now. See? It isn't much, but with the growth of these people, a tad will grow into this: *T A D* And that is never fun. Maybe I can get everyone some free valums and what not, what do you say? Cheers |
deleted user 22.12.2004 17:50 |
I do agree with you All Dead...sorta I'm not trying to be elitist or claim that I am better than anyone, BUT I have say that I have noticed that Queen fans in general are a bit whiny. for example, there have been quite a few threads on this forum started for the sole purpose of ripping a Queen album/tour to pieces. (I think this may have something to do with the fact that they're are so many people that nearly everything Queen did/does is hated by at least a few people) If some of the critical comments posted here about Queen were posted on other boards I frequently, say a Led Zeppelin board, the poster would be ridiculed and hated. This is not to say that people shouldn't express their critical opinion of Queen. I'm just making an observation. |
CrazylilThing45 22.12.2004 17:56 |
You're very right (as many people have said before me). It's kind of funny when sometimes other Queen fans type similar things as you "What are we? Six years old?" Then people reply stuff like, "Well....you suck and.....I hate people saying pointless stuff like that..." (Not saying your message is pointless, just giving an example of what people do.) I laugh right along with yuh. There is some pretty hateful stuff floating around on this here forum. I guess Queen fans just got bored waiting for Queen to tour again and had nothing better to do but argue. :-) |
LadyMoonshineDown 22.12.2004 18:04 |
*shrug* Don't read it I guess. I have learned early on that in order to maintain sanity, you just don't read that shit anymore. It helps. Take Bad Tempored Blondie for instance: Posting back to her only makes us more of an idiot, so don't do it, and you'll be a lot happier. Cheers |

And those with the least to offer a conversation are frequently those who monopolize it with inane ramblings. But gee, fellas, I don't know, maybe it's these charmingly cheeky 14-year-olds who Roger & Brian should really be heeding as they mount this new tour... if only to restrict ticket sales to ADULTS. |
Mitti 23.12.2004 08:25 |
and you based this on what? the posts on Queenzone? First, you should try to get the difference betwine jokes and real opions, after that you should ignore all the assholes around here and than you can have a great time. At least, this worked for me. Btw, all the other Queenforums are way more 'polite'... |
Benn 23.12.2004 12:15 |
AllDeadAllDead - re your post: It's people like you who remain *publicly* ambivalent to Queen and what they do that allows them to believe that they are "doing the right thing" in the, frankly, "hilarious" collaborations that have been out out in recent years. I'd much rather it be known that I utterly despise all that and go on record for anyone connected to the band to see it. This in the hope that others feel the same way and that the band eventually say to themselves; "hang on a minute - quite a lot of people think it's shite". Or is it just that you are too scared of being criticised for your own opinions that has you lurking in the shadows with the rest of the weak-kneed? |

You think this forum is bad? Try and visit one of them new concerts. I bet the show will be interrupted several times a night because of massive fights and name-calling so loud that it'll be impossible to hear the band play. I, for one, am taking my boxing-gloves to the concert. Don't want an old 2 metres tall retard standing in front of me... First row man... I'll only settle for first row. =) |
