Erin and I have been working on this for past couple of months. This is a work in progress and new items will be added as and when we get them.
If you want to contribute please let me know and you will be credited. link
We aren't trying to take away from the cuttings website, btw. This website is going to be more interview based. It's obviously a work in progress, because it will need contributions to make it a great site. There's sooooooo much stuff out there that could be added, of course.
This Rolling Stone Magazine seems to have some kind of mission: destroy any Queen album. Man, never read so much shit about one single band in my whole life. They absolutely refuse to find anything good in Queen. And they hate when someone likes something Queen related.

On the Circus Rave cover (1st pic) there's a huge Freddie pic, and on the corner you can read "Interview: Blue Oyster Cult". Danny Miranda is from that band... Coincidence or destiny? ;-)
There's also a cover of Melody Maker with Freddie AND Paul Rodgers on the cover. ;-)
The vitrol from almost all of Rolling Stone's reviews is telling: At the time of release, everyone of Queen's albums suck; everyone of Led Zeppelin's albums suck; everything Mick Jagger has done solo is great; everything Bono has ever touched is world-alteringly brilliant and Yoko Ono is just so essential to the worlds future that she pisses liquid gold...I forgot just how much of an asshole Jann Wenner (publisher/head of RS) is. He worships and promotes artists like Elvis Costello, Jackson Brown and Randy Newman as if the world is too stupid to buy their albums because we don't realize just how brilliant they are, but he would/will do anything to minimize bands like Queen (and all hard rock acts except maybe Guns and Roses). I seem to remember that Roger had a real hate-hate relationship with them...I can see why.
Good Luck Pieter for your new web site!
I wish we could "co-operate" in some way, in the future (QueenArchive with QueenCuttings)
Keep us in contact, if you want, my email is in my profile.
I'm still uploading scans of cuttings/articles and adverts on QueenCuttings, I think I will "open" my site soon, just in time for the born of my FIRST daughter.... (anyhow by the end of July) ;-)
Rock on
