Queen "Experts"
| Zoroaster 21.10.2005 22:21 |
I've noticed in my time here that certain people on queenzone forums are no more experts on Queen than the Greatest Video Hits commentaries allow them to be. Time after time, I've seen explanations, comments, quips, jibes, and jargon lifted almost directly from quotes of Freddie, Brian, Roger, or John appearing on the audio commentaries. What's worse, statements used from the audio commentaries are often taken out of context, used one-dimensionally, or otherwise quoted as supreme and divinely inspired information, which the quoter was so blessed to receive through holy revelation. In other words, people who solely use the easily accessible GVH commentaries as definitive biblical truth really piss me off. Thanks for hearing my rant. Cheers. |

....and? If you don't like what they say and write - don't read it and don't ask them to answer on your questions, enjoy yourself and your alternative sources of information. |

sorry but I like quoting even if it sounds bible-like. Queen sound better in their own words, and secondly nobody can think I'm talking shit and nonsense about them. Concerning the context, I'm as careful as possible to give it and not use their words according to what I personally think - differently from certain people who used the lyrics of the show must go on in the most far fetched ways I ever saw. Thirdly what you mean with "expert"? |

Zoroaster, quoting Queen is actually the best way of knowing what they think, since the words came right out of their own mouths. I agree those who simply quote without much research can be considered real experts. and so what? Can only the big experts on QZ answer posts? Thank god we have great people like Serry, John S Stuart, etc. who are always so helpful and kind. But if they were the only ones to have to anser all posts: 1) they would have time for nothing else in their lives; 2) it would become a Q&A, not a forum. Like Serry says, if you don't like what the non-experts say you can just ignore them... Take it easy! We are not in school. We're just here because we love Queen. |

No, only BeckyLovesBrianMay+RogerTaylor needs them, Serry. Moreover, she needs a shorter nickname. How 'bout "Becky", or is that too far fetched? Sorry but im english, i was born in england and i can write perfectly in english what is the the problem of writing instead of wat what!Thomas you veryyyyy out of order !!!! |

Have you no consideration for others - that is English may not be their native language? Have you no pride in you own presentation, image or appearance? Do you not wish to be the best that you can be? Or are you happy being a Jerry Springer reject? |

Plus, whichever part of Chavsville you're from, in this case you are misunderstanding the point. Which is hardly a surprise. Why not fuck off until your education is complete? Or at least go into school next week, just for a couple of days. |

This topic was about Queen "Experts" Not about BeckyLovesbrianmay+rogertaylor presentation, image or appearance..... Anyways back to the TOPIC.... I like quoting Queen members on QZ am i suppose to make up some lie about what they say? Nope i get it all from the members themselfs from DVDs, documentrys, interviews its perfectly normal and nothing wrong with it! :) |

I agree with Zoroaster! Simply quoting GVH commentaries belittles those of us who spent years paying exhorbitant tuitions to get degrees in Queenology. I myself recently completed my doctorate in Mercurial Philosophy after spending 6 years in general Queenological studies at Berkley. I am thus fully licenced to disperse my profound knowledge to others blessed enough to be in my vicinity, and would remind the rest of you amateurs that practising Queenology without a licence is punishable by law. At the very least, you'll suffer bullshit threads like this by egomanical idiots trying to quantify what gives a member "expert" status and what simply makes one knowledgable. |
| kdj2hot 24.10.2005 01:51 |
Honey, I have my PHD in Queenology so don't even start with me dear. |

After a while you'll find out who are REAL Queen experts, who are the wannabies and who just have no clue.... This last group you just ignore, they're not worth it... |

Yeah, too bad there are certain individuals in here that try to make people believe they are experts on certain things - while in reality they are talking about stuff they know nothing about. |
| GreatKingSam 24.10.2005 08:23 |
You say people quote the Greatest Hits DVD or whatever, but at the end of the day, thats how easy the answers for people like yours stupid questions are to find. With a simple piece of research. And, its not like they are going to just manifest some made up information are they? Think about it. It's no different than finding it out from a book or a magazine... |
