Comments: This is my recording of what was a great "theatrical tribute" to Queen, being "Queen - It's A Kind Of Magic", who are currently touring on the occasion of what would've been Freddie's 60th birthday this year.
While I'll admit that the recording was made on a SanDisk MP3 player, resulting in a low-quality recording (in ADPCM format though, not MP3), I have done my best to try and improve the quality (or "remaster" it) somewhat, by upconverting and EQ'ing it twice in Adobe Audition, to boost the higher frequencies to make it a tad clearer.
I know it pretty much doesn't make much sense in that regard to have this as a FLAC, but to have compression on top of compression just won't do it for me either...so here you go, ha ha!
Enjoy everyone!

Richard Guilbault
"what a fuckin debil is singing?"
Ummmm.... sure thing!
I saw these guys a couple of years ago in Toronto, "Freddie" was amazing, John was good, Brian was a good guitarist who sounded nothing like the real Brian May and the drummer was freakin awful.
Hi!
Thanks for this!
I have a problem... I use azureus and I can't download torrent from Queenzone, someone can tell me how I can solve this problem?
Cheers

I wasn't going to review but since they've started ........... singer does good Freddie moves, but struggles vocally even though they tune down, bassist is very good (though may have been replaced recently) , drummer very good and as is the case with many Queen tribute bands the guitarist may be 'ok' in general playing but clueless as far as playing the Brian May material goes.

True. The bassist was indeed replaced, I can confirm that. I was disappointed, cos the old one looked like Nick Mason from Pink Floyd. But the new guy looks younger, hehe.

Mine it´s too slow. Change to Utorrent, it´s faster. You can put the Azureos and utorrent downloading at the same time.
Try to look for some updates on the azureos site. Maybe that helps.
The other day i downloaded from thetradersden about 462 MG in a couple of hours with Azureos. So it isn´t the program, it´s the mentality of those who Hit & Run. We just need more seeders at Queenzone. And when i mean seeders is real seeders. If you have a couple of guys connected to you, but you only allow 10 Kb/s that doesn´t help much, does it?
Take care
P.S- and the tracker doesn´t seems to help either!
