CAN ANYONE ON QUEENZONE TELL ME HOW MANY THREADS JOHN STUART HAS BEGUN, OR CONTRIBUTED TO OVER THE YEARS? Is it hundreds? Thousands? Is it possible to extract facts and figures and stats like that? I'd genuinely like to know. RICHARD, IS THIS INFO GENERALLY ACCESSIBLE? NO NEED TO HIDE IT, RIGHT? thanks GB |
| thomasquinn 32989 19.07.2006 14:34 |
I'd say dozens. A far higher percentage of which is useful than with your threads, I'm afraid. |
| Queen Archivist 19.07.2006 14:37 |
Thomas Quinn. Twat! |
| PieterMC 19.07.2006 14:45 |
Not sure how many John has created but I think you managed to create more than him in the past week. Oh and for the love of God learn how to quote properly. I am glad to see you learned how to turn off your caps lock key though. |

It´s time for you to leave for good now Mr.Brooks... and never come back in here please! PS: And stick your books & tapes right up your ass and sing along to... ..."Pain is so close to pleasure" for instance!!! PPS: Sorry "Archie", but now it was ME being a little bit "over the top"? Well... not really! ;-) |

Okay. Now that the insults have started flying again it's time for ALL of you to shut up. I'm sick of this constant slag-fest that goes on regards Greg Brooks. I don't know the guy, and yes, he is rude to people - but you lot are just as rude to him and it's about time it ended. Greg's not perfect. He never purported to be. He probably (as he says) has guidelines he has to work to with regards what he can and can't tell us. At the end of it all, even Brian has confessed to not knowing everything, regardless of whether it's studio recordings or live recordings, and if the biggest Queen collector in the world doesn't know, then what chance does Greg have? The only way to find out is for him to come on sites like this and ask the fans what they have and what they know. So let him get on with his job and offer him any help that he asks for. In the end we will all benefit from it (as we already have with the Freddie Boxset) and the only way to for QPL to release stuff with as few omissions as possible is to TELL THEM what there is, as silly as that sounds! For those of you who are jealous of Greg's position - well you should have got off your arses 10 years ago and put together the Queen live book and then written to Queen themselves suggesting they catalogue their archive and start checking the condition of their master tapes. If it wasn't for Greg, QPL probably wouldn't have even thought about cataloging their archive and checking the condition of their tapes and we'd now be in the position of having so much stuff lost forever. So. Let bygones be bygones. Start being nice to each other (and that includes you Greg) and help Greg out when he asks for it. Do you know. If Brian reads these forums, he'd probably be thinking that all Queen fans are stroppy bunch of wankers and don't deserve to hear anything unreleased. |

In answer to the original question... "Don't worry, you'll catch him soon enough" More accurately...yes, we're all a bunch of sad obsessives (as I guess you were leading to the implication of), most of us are aware of it, but that doesn't mean we're not capable of a) rationality b) independent thought, c) contributing constructively. Please stop generalising about us all. We are all individuals, very few of us are sheep. |

FIRSTLY Twat is another word for dickhead / idiot / imbecile / pleb / moron / dumb arse.... NOTHING to do with terrorism. Someone suggested a ridiculous terrorist connection (yes really) and some pleb on here, gullible as ever, lapped it all up and believed it. Honestly how GULLIBLE can you be! It's astounding. ************ Moving on, from that silly tangent... Freddie Lives wrote... Okay. Now that the insults have started flying again it's time for ALL of you to shut up. I'm sick of this constant slag-fest that goes on regards Greg Brooks. YES, IT DOES GET VERY TEDIOUS TO HEAR THE SAME OLD STUFF TIME AND TIME AGAIN ABOUT ME. I'M SURE IT'S VERY BORING FOR MOST OF YOU TOO. I don't know the guy, and yes, he is rude to people - but you lot are just as rude to him and it's about time it ended. IT WON'T END, QZ-ERS LOVE BEING NASTY TO OTHER QZ-ERS. IF THE NASTY SODS THAT WRITE MALICIOUS STUFF, AND WHO MOANED ALL THE TIME, THERE WOULD ONLY BE 15-20 QZ-ERS LEFT HERE. Greg's not perfect. He never purported to be. THIS IS TRUE. AT LAST SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS SENSE. OH THE RELIEF! He probably (as he says) has guidelines he has to work to with regards what he can and can't tell us. THIS IS WELL KNOWN BY NOW SURELY TO GOD? At the end of it all, even Brian has confessed to not knowing everything, regardless of whether it's studio recordings or live recordings, and if the biggest Queen collector in the world doesn't know, then what chance does Greg have? The only way to find out is for him to come on sites like this and ask the fans what they have and what they know. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT TOO, BUT TOO MANY QZ-ERS JUST GET NASTY INSTEAD OF OFFERRING ANYTHING USEFUL... BECAUSE THEIR QUEEN KNOWLEDGE LACKS AND THEY HAVE NOTHING ELSE. So let him get on with his job and offer him any help that he asks for. THIS WON'T HAPPEN. I SAY AGAIN... QZ-ERS LOVE BEING NASTY TO OTHER QZ-ERS TOO MUCH. THEY THRIVE ON BAD FEELING. YOU CAN SEE THAT FROM A HUNDRED RANDOM THREADS ON THIS SITE. In the end we will all benefit from it (as we already have with the Freddie Boxset) GOOD POINT MATE. and the only way to for QPL to release stuff with as few omissions as possible is to TELL THEM what there is, as silly as that sounds! ANOTHER EXCELLENT POINT. For those of you who are jealous of Greg's position - well you should have got off your arses 10 years ago and put together the Queen live book and then written to Queen themselves suggesting they catalogue their archive and start checking the condition of their master tapes. BRILLIANT POINT - WELL MADE. IT'S VERY TRUE. If it wasn't for Greg, QPL probably wouldn't have even thought about cataloging their archive and checking the condition of their tapes and we'd now be in the position of having so much stuff lost forever. PART OF THIS IS PROBABLY TRUE. IF IT WEREN'T FOR PEOPLE LIKE JUSTIN SHIRLEY-SMITH, ETC, PRESERVING THOSE TAPES, TRANSFERRING AND REPAIRING AND CARING.... A MILLION THINGS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT... TAPES WOULD ALREADY HAVE BEEN LOST. KEEP THESE THINGS IN MIND SOMETIMES. So. Let bygones be bygones. Start being nice to each other (and that includes you Greg) and help Greg out when he asks for it. DON'T KID YOURSELF MATE... WATCH THE CRAP THAT WILL ROLL IN AFTER THIS NOTE FROM ME. THEY SIMPLY CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES. AS I'VE SAID.. THEY ARE PRE-PROGRAMMED TO MOAN. MOANZONE, REMEMBER? FOR VERY VERY GOOD REASON. WATCH AND SEE HEREAFTER. PREDICTABLE AS THE SUN COMING UP. Do you know. If Brian reads these forums, he'd probably be thinking that all Queen fans are stroppy bunch of wankers and don't deserve to hear anything unreleased. THIS IS A VERY VERY GOOD POINT.

Ok, the more I read these threads started by "Queen Archivist" the more I just think that it is some spammer that gets off on writing long posts that make no sense and get people angry. Why everyone takes this person so seriously is beyond me. For all we know it's just an annoying spammer. |
| Regor 19.07.2006 21:23 |
I don't just want to comment other posts, so to make my point clear: Greg's book is a fantastic read, and I still read it from time to time. One can clearly see there's been put a lot of effort, time and passion into it. The internet has offered so many more sources, which he just couldn't use at the time. But still it is a great book. And the Q&A on QOL was a great read as well. I also understand that because he has become the official archivist, he can not give away everything to the public at a certain time. But when we got the Freddie Box, it was treat. Fantastic stuff. JSS has loads of things to offer, and his posts are always something to look forward to. Knowledgeable and definitely another source to rely on. Queenconcerts.com is a treat both visual and in terms of content. I am looking forward to Lester Burnham's book. And the list goes on. It's not just black and white. I too am sick of all the anger around here (from all sides), and I would love to see this become a fruitful discussion. Am I a wuss if I say all of the above mentioned are great contacts for an interesting, open-minded, even mind-boggling discussion about the mighty royal foursome ? We need to calm down IMO (don't want to sound big-headed or patronise anyone) and understand each other's points without getting into even more fights. After all, we all love the music. Sounds hippie-esque, but what the heck ! :-) |

Not that this entire episode hhadn't already reached the zenith of ridiculous about 10 minutes after it started, this takes the cake: Do you know. If Brian reads these forums, he'd probably be thinking that all Queen fans are stroppy bunch of wankers and don't deserve to hear anything unreleased. THIS IS A VERY VERY GOOD POINT. IT IS SPOT ON. Greg, please don't insult our intelligence. QP are the masters of pushing product. They will leave no stone unturned to push product on the market. As we speak, Fat bottomed girls is on a new compilation called "Drinking Songs", while You're my best friend is featured on another new compilation called "Feel Good Songs." Do you honestly believe that they are releasing these things for the sake of their art? It totally devalues the worth of these songs each time they're re-released, but that doesn't matter to QP. And you seriously believe, that while they are sitting on their biggest asset (the definitive boxe set of rarities), that Brian wouldn't release something because of a few goofy topics on an "undeserving" notice board? Brian May is a big hero of mine, but Brian May at this point would release the WWRY Moanzone mix if he felt that it'd put a few more dollars in the QP coffers. The we'd get the WWRY Original Cast/WWRY Rock Hall of Fame/WWRY w/Pink, Beyonce and Britney, WWRY w/John Farnham/WWRY w/the German Cast/WWRY w/Moanzone Collection. |

Moving this topic to the Personal Forum. To answer the original question: yes, you can go to the old forum and look up one of John's messages, it will tell you the day of registration and number of posts. But it's the quality, not the quantity that counts. John has always shared his vast knowledge about the Queen catalogue with us here on QZ and over at QOL. Surely, there are many people with more posts but not many with such quality posts. |
