Hello Queenzoners! Alright, its been established that all of us are obsessed fans of the greatest band in the land: Queen. But just for kicks lets just discuss why Queen is/was such a great band, and more importantly what makes them so important to you? If you don't think Queen is the greatest band in the land then tell us why. I'm looking for honesty and intelligent answers. None of that stupid crap please. Oh yeah, don't be afraid to express personal feelings. Besides, none of us have ever really met before and probably never will. So go crazy guys! Lets get a good discussion going! I'll share my feelings on Queen as soon as this thing gets going... |

Anyway, I think Queen were amazing musicians. I basically like them because they were true musicians. They weren't fakes. They were the real deal. |

Could we please get back to topic please? I'm tired of this Penetration_Guru nonsense. I mean I know its a stupid topic, but what the hell...we're all Queen fans here. I would just like to hear other people state their opinions on the band we all adore so much. |
| Bohemian MAY-niac/Deaconite 13.11.2006 20:27 |
I think that the reason why Queen's awesome is because they're fantastic musicians. Not only that, they were four well educated guys who were dedicated to the group and were also very close friends. Yes they had their arguements, but that's what made them even closer and kept the group together for over 30 years. Also, all of their songs sound so different. No 2 songs sound the same. They weren't afraid to take risks and dabble with different forms of music either. Now tell me, what other rock band wrote and sang songs with a Vaudeville feel or an Operatic feel? This is what made them the awesome group that they were. Queen is special to me because I grew up with them. I was born in 1987, so I missed out on seeing them in concert. But, my cousin who used to babysit me had all of their concerts that were released on video and their albums. She would bring them to my house and we would sit on the couch and watch the concerts. I would always compliment Freddie on how pretty he was. She also would play "Love of My Life" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" and Freddie would sing me to sleep. Another reason why they're so special to me is because I can relate to each of the band members in some way. Also, their songs have helped me thru some really rough times in my life. So, those are my opinions on Queen. They're the greatest band in the land and I'll love them till the day I die!!! |
| deleted user 13.11.2006 20:29 |
I think Queen's the greatest band for a number of reasons. Freddie Mercury is the best singer of all time in rock music. Brian May is the best and most original guitarist of all time. John Deacon has master rythm and good bass lines. Roger Taylor does everything right on drums. They're all brilliant songwriters and their songs are excellently written and composed and arranged very well. Queen means so much to me because Somebody to Love changed my life! I remember sitting in my room and hearing it for the first time and I lost my breath! I listened to it 15 times in a row! It made me realize what I wanted to be and made me fall in love with Freddie Mercury. Queen's songs mean a lot to me, their the only band that actually helps me feel better, or that I can have a good cry too... I love them so much. And I don't care if people think I'm crazy! |
| The prophet's song 14.11.2006 03:20 |
The reason I love Queen is that their songs don't all sound similar, unlike most other music. Because they were all 4 totally different personalities, they managed to create some really awesome diverse stuff that you possibly cannot get bored of. If you don't feel like headbanging, you can listen to Jealousy, if you do, then listen to Sheer Heart Attack. If you feel like singing, listen to Somebody To Love, if not, listen to Bijou. It's terrific! |

i love Queen cos they're so distinctive. and their style of music was always changing with the times. they we're very good musicians, and they worked hard and vigorously. they were great performers on stage -- most bands arent even remotely good on stage compaired to their studio recordings. they were brilliant. simple as that. musically and intelegent-wise. they all finished college (Brian finished college but not his doctorate, which i heard he's going to go finish soon), which proves that you can be smart and be a rock star. most teenagers just drop out of school cos they think that's what rock stars do, which isn't true at all. and besides, they're all cute. xD Queen is the first band that i liked all the members. not once have i found a band where i liked every member before Queen. |

I <3 my dear Queen because they are such a unique, amazing, good-sounding, and beautiful band...Their music is VERY optimistic and very cheery. Their songs...no matter what opinions are held...Even the worst of them...SOUND GOOD. That's enough in my book...EVERY SINGLE ONE...Just look at Sweet Lady...or She Makes Me...You can't tell me that they aren't bareable....They are VERY much bearable...and ALL of them have a good element to them. The music itself is very helpful when a person is in a depressed mood, which occurs very often in my case. They have their own style. They are very attractive...I mean...seriously...who wouldn't (boy or girl) want to see 4 good looking men in tight trousers and unisuits? :P...with make-up on *drool*...But..that is beside the point, you see. -_-...I got a little carried away there...I guess Queen is so good because they have amazing musical talent. In other bands...there is (sometimes) something lacking. If the voice is lacking....then the band isn't really too well put together...(which isn't Queen's case :D). Bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Our own Queen, Pink Floyd, the Scorpions, Kansas, Supertramp, Alice Cooper etc etc...They are good because all of the fields needed to complete a band are filled in and nothing is lacking. I mean (off topic...but an example) Look at Led Zeppelin. Great singer : Robert Plant Amazing drummer: John Bonham..One of the greatest most legendary guitarists: Jimmy Page and a wonderful bassist: John Paul Jones. This is what creates a good band. Look at Queen: Brian May: AMAZING, SUPER, FUCKING AWESOME guitarist, keyboard-ist (lol), composer Freddie Mercury: FUCKING SPECTACULAR SINGER, Composer, pianist, etc. John Deacon: Excellent bassist, Great composer Roger: Fucking awesome drummer, (and don't kill me) VERY GOOD composer (in some people's views)... Now...it is this "chemistry" between the four lads that creates a good band. With Freddie's angelic voice......etc. etc. Let's take another example...shall we? A band called Mott The Hoople. Now...many of you might have heard of them....They are a band that have a great influence on Queen...well HAD a great influence. From like 1972-1974 or something. Now...in my opinion....The voice lacks. The instruments are excellent, but the voice isn't really good enough (in my opinion, again)...For me, that band is really average sounding compared to Queen. Other bands, like Pink Floyd and Scorpions have a good foundation and base. and I am now rambling on again, but I am bored...as usual...and it is a sick stay-home-from-fucking-high-school day for me....so being stuck with a fever and rambling on is my specialty, ladies and queens. :DDDD Besides...I'm getting bored and I want a smoothie... ^____^ Hot Space 4 lyf dawgs. OOH! Goodie...another title to be discussed....Screw the smoothie..^___^ I just wanted to say: DAMN YOU PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE HOT SPACE. Of course that was a joke. Don't take it personally...I am sick ;_; hehe...But what I meant to say was that HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE HOT SPACE??????????? O_O It's so well combined....muscially and in cases of genre...Hehe...Well I'll stop complaining now and go get that smoothie...*giggle-snort-giggle* |

You are all so young it's great to hear the enthusiasim of a new generation of Queen fans. I have been a fanatic since the first time my brother played The prophet song. I sat in amasement, and played it over and over again. Then my brother took me to see that show in 76 I have been hooked ever since.I have seen them 16 times including Jacksonville this year. There are many reasons why Queen effects us all, Freddie's voice, Brian's guitar is what got me I have never heard anything like it even to this day' it is so unique. They are awesome live, and so much fun, they don't take it so seriusly; like the Who or Zepplin, who take three years to get it right.Queen was spontainious.It takes a special person to stand up and say Queen is the best "God Bless You ALL" |

Ive been regularly checking this board for 5 some years. If i've learned anything, it's that penetration_guru is indeed a rude guy. Ignore him if he bothers you, he'll get over it. I believe he says his ridiculous statements to get people's attention and add meaning to his life. Anyway, I really feel Queen is one of the best bands ever, if not the best. I also feel it will take a while for people to realize this, especially in the USA. Their music came at you from all angles, just when you thought you had them figured out, they threw in a curveball or two. In a way, it kept them interesting from a musical sense and not monotonous like some of your typical bands (beatles). I think proof of their greatness are the recent bands that do Queen covers such as MCR and the used. I feel the world will someday appreciate Queen and Freddie in the same manner that they appreciate the beatles and lennon. These were very influential people, I know, but they set the stage for a more talented group, Queen. |

I became a Queenzone member because I wanted to be in contact with "real" fans. You sir (whatever you are), are indeed a real fan and I commend you for that. You have taken the option of joining an outstanding website dedicated to Queen. Isn't that enough? Who cares about it if a topic has existed once before or if everyone would agree with me that Queen is such a great band. The fact still remains that their are a lot of new fans who would love to learn more about this brilliant group of musicians. They would like to discover other people's opinions on Queen (not just their own). That is why I created this so called "fatuous" thread. Do you really think I care what you think or anybody else? I did this for my own entertainment, along with the best interests of other fans. As a closing statement: I really don't care who you are or what you're all about on this website. I couldn't care any less. As far as I'm concerned, you're a nobody. I've never met you and I never will. Lets just say I take that as a blessing. So nighty night to you madam/sir/it. I wish you health, I wish you happiness, but absolutley nothing else. Yours truly, Steve |
