Has anyone else got this DVD? Bought it a couple of weeks ago alongside ROTC DVD and thought it was alright, it's got no proper interviews with the band, but it does go into detail about their albums, also got some guy showing you how to play like brian may,
all in all, not bad for about £11
I still haven't seen it but when I do I will place a full review on my Queen Video section. link
Is Magic Moments really that bad ... thank God I didn't buy that one !
Localboy80 wrote: I have not actually bought 'Magic Moments' as of yet. So what makes it so bad?
What makes it so bad is that there is absolutely no input from the lads at all. All this DVD is a bunch of z list "celebs" regaling the same old tired stories, based on a brief encounter years ago. A yawnfest from start to finish. Under Review, on the other hand, does include a partual clip of a Freddie interview. Other highlights are live clips from both Hammersmith Christmas gig from 1975 and Budapest.

I got that DVD same price as you got yours 11.99 from Virgin. I just picked it up and said to my mate "Wow, whats this?" Read the back and thought i'm gonna buy it! The guy playing the burns special is wicked at it. I would give it 8/10 seeing as it doesnt have any proper interviews with Queen.
