Anybody back from the convention yet? Any reports? Was Greg Brooks there and did he play some 'new' stuff? If so, could anybody give us some details about it. And if anybody recorded the session - send me a pm please ;-) |

Oh the hilarity of imbeciles whose most insightful provocative question in the half hour that GB was available to speak publically is "when will you release your dance mix" or "who is that says "property of Queen productions"?" Numbskulls. And noone asked him who those voices were at the end of of Let me Entertain You. |
| Roger's Beard 08.05.2006 17:38 |
he played 8 tracks in total: One Vision - short out-takes Backchat - short out-takes don't stop me now - inst let me entertain you - diff ending tie your mother down - brian's guide vocals somebody to love - piano rehearsal i go crazy - instrumental demo from 1982!! pain is so close to pleasure - demo don't ask me for more details than that as this is all I remember!! |

"Pain Is So Close To Pleasure" demo???!!!! i will not die a happy man until i hear this =( |
| radio_what's_new 08.05.2006 20:29 |
It's time queenproductions will release this kind of stuff. Sales will go through the roof...I don't want another version of greatest hits+ some so called "rare" stuff. It really is a missed oppurtunity |

When was the last time anyone released a collection of demos and studio outtakes that sold "through the roof"? |

The first 2-disc set sold 450,000 copies on the first day, which is apparently the record for sales of a cd release in one day. Queen's wouldn't do as well, but they'd do very well, especially in the UK and Europe. |

Second - it has nothing to do with demo, it's single remix. Third - remove the link, it's officially available version. |

Let's give it up for Serry, Queenzone police everyone... First of all...I did look in my file info, and I'll tell you that I got it from this very site, quite a few months ago. It had been up for a few days, with nobody mentioning it's legitimacy as a 'official' track. If it was official, I'd be the last person to put it up here. Second of all, if it is not a 'demo' or has nothing to do with, my apologies for misleading, as I too was mislead on this one. I'll be the first to say that I'm definetly not one who has heard ALL of Queen's material (and I'm referring to bootlegs, rare tracks, etc.), and neither has the majority. I can safely say that i have all that Hollywood Records has put out, and nowhere is this version present. I also went as far as looking at QUEEN: As It Began written by Jacky Gunn and Jim Jenkins, found the singles discography, and nowhere does it list any sort of remix of 'Pain Is So Close To Pleasure'. I'd go as far as a fan mix, esp. with the so-so sound quality. So again, the only apology I will offer is to anyone who I have mislead with the demo part...again, I too was mislead. Have a nice day everybody...and you won't have to worry about me posting nor sharing anymore material of any kind up here anymore. This has ruined it for me, and I'm sure I'm not the first one it's been ruined for...cheers... |

link link link If you don't know something - you need to learn, but not insult someone who knows it. That's not my fault if you don't know about this remix. If you won't post or share on QZ because of me - it's up for you. All what I asked - remove the link because of rules of QZ, all you did - put all your emotions about me here. |
| Jjeroen 09.05.2006 06:27 |
It's pretty basic fanknowledge that the single version of PISCTP indeed is a remix... --- Anyway: that does sound as indeed very interesting material! Any more info would be very much appreciated! (As is a recording! ;-) |

Funny thing is that I Go Crazy is the only one track from The Works recordings which was copyrighted in 1983 (because of unclear to me reasons)! The rest of them - in 1984. |

In an email I was also told that GB told the fans "that the Anita track "Let Me In (Your Heart Again)" had been recorded by Queen for The Works and was better than anything that WAS on The Works..." (thanks to Thanks:) I am now listening to the song and try to imagine it as a Queen song - I would love to hear that. |

Excellent point Mr. Faron Hite. The Beatles were a once in a lifetime phenomenon. Queen's fan base, I would guess, grew exponentially after the release of GH1 and Live Aid. I can't see the interest in a Queen anthology as I think the support for Queen is in their singles as opposed to albums. |

Actually as concerned as I am about the box set selling or what have you not only worldwide but in the U.S. as well I do think that it can and will do well worldwide AND in the U.S. with some degree of promotion and with Queen coninuing on with new studio l.p.s and tours to keep letting the public know about these releases. I think as long as they sell enough to stay in print for a good number of years it will all be good. Of course the more the merrier. With that said there are many groups from the Cure to Bon Jovi to David Bowie to who knows who else who have released c.d.s and box sets of demos and rare stuff that have sold well enough. If everyone had to be the Beatles there wouldn't be but a dozen or so artists other than them. With that said Queen are one of the largest groups in the world...I think they can do anything they want as long as the material or what have you is good enough in the first place. |

I've gotten many more hours of enjoyment listening to Queen's music (much more so than the Beatles or Elvis or Michael Jackson or others that were hugely popular in their day). The Beatles songs are not the sort that I can listen to repeatedly without growing tired of them eventually. Queen is different and I don't know why. There will be the support of those who love Queen's music above all other music (including support from future generations - I'm guessing). |

Apparantly "Let me In (Your Heart Again)" with Freddie singing is complete! Beautiful song - they should re-title that as "Let Me In Your Heart Again (Here's the definative singles boxset)" and release that as the single before the boxset comes out! |

The Beatles have sold well over a billion units worldwide. Their music transcends virtually all cultural barriers. The Beatles changed the world. Queen did not. |
| Adam Baboolal 10.05.2006 17:27 |
The Beatles certainly started something off and are held in high regard for doing a lot of things that made the world notice them. Right time, right place and right stuff, too! Queen, in comparison? Hard to say as I do like both bands. But mainly Queen! But no, you can't compare them both. Not really. Peace, Adam. |
| g2000 11.05.2006 10:38 |
Adam youre right, you cant compare the two musically but i think culturally you can. The Beatles ARE considered to have changed popular music forever, and as a consequence are more than just a band, (heck, they were the most important foursome for a minute back then), same as Andy Warhol is considered more than an artist. Queen wrote fantastic tunes, thats a diference right there, sure its a little over simplistic but.........A demo box set will be of interest to diehard Queen fans but to anyone else im not so sure. I dont think a large no of people would be interested in Freddie singing for example, Modern Times Rock n Roll. And as an aside, as im rambling, I cant help thinking that Queen are now a singles band (maybe they have been for years now and i havent really noticed). Its all about the singles. They could release a combined greatest hits package of 1 & 2 tomorrow and itll probably go platinum. But as long as those singles sell, and every so often they talk about what the words mean in Bohemian Rhapsody theres a chance we'll get more live DVDs |

g2000 wrote: A demo box set will be of interest to diehard Queen fans but to anyone else im not so sure. I dont think a large no of people would be interested in Freddie singing for example, Modern Times Rock n Roll.That was my point. A 10 disc box set of almost anything from anybody is going to be of interest primarily to the diehard fans. The expense alone will prevent it from selling "through the roof" numbers. A series of 2 to 3 disc sets with "new" completed singles a la The Beatles Anthology might be more commercially viable, but that leads you into a conundrum over which you, as a fan, would prefer - an expensive 10+ set that gets everything out all at once like the Freddie set, but which probably isn't going to sell huge numbers, or a series of smaller less expensive sets, with the caveat that if the initial sets don't do well enough, the release of future sets might be jeopardized? That's thorny. I suppose there's also the option of releasing a 10+ disc set for the diehards *and* a one or two disc "best of the box" which might be more appealing to the general market, all at the same time. I think the least attractive option is one that was talked about a year or so ago, which would be re-releasing all the original albums with a bonus disc of unreleased material, meaning we'd all be buying all the original albums again for the umpteenth time. |
