Dear All I thought you might like to know that I have been working VERY hard, intensively labouring, I might tell you, and not remotely being lazy or idle - as so many of you believe me to be. I did 6 hours last week and 2 hours in the archive this week, ya got me! It's all go in my life. Ok, yes, I had my dinner hours and breaks too, but I still did a fair old bit last tuesday. Anyway, progress with the Queen box... I decided that you were right and I was wrong, and that Johnboy Stuart's ways and methods and crazily detailed and pedantic to the enth degree approach to Queen projects was INDEED the way to go. The ONLY way. I saw the light eventually. I managed to talk the band round too, and management. I confess, I have seen the error of my ways. I ask your collective forgiveness. Will you? Stu-pot Stuart from the Northly North had it right, and I had not a clue. Look... I shouldn't be telling you this yet, but... sneaky sneaky, an archive peaky... here is what Johnboy and I (mainly Johnboy) have come up with thus far for box 1. I had some great ideas, but JS's were much better so he went with them. So... so far. Box 1. QUEEN THE EARLY YEARS. Johnny Stu-pot Note: These 6 CDs cover only side 1 and a fraction of Side 2 of the first album, because we wanted to be as thorough as I've always insisted Greg and the boys needed to be. Without being conceited, the following greatness is mainly, if not solely and exclusively, my doing... CD 1: The First Album, First Track, First Morning of the First session, Trident 1972 1. Brian saying "Keep Yourself Alive, Take 1" [0:03] 2. Brian counting to 4. [0:04] 3. Roger asking if he can have his cans volume turned up a bit because he missed Brian's count (also featuring Mike Stone sneezing and Roy Baker saying "Bless you Mike" [0:11] 4. Brian counting to 4 (again), but this time for Take 2 [0:04] 5. The opening two lines of 'Keep Yourself Alive' Early Version [0:42] 6. Freddie asking why Take 2 broke down after only 2 lines and John saying "yes please" to a cup of tea [0:09] 7. Brian saying "Keep Yourself Alive, Take 4" [0:03] 8. Brian counting to 4. [0:04] 9. Roger asking if he can have his cans volume turned up a tiny bit more (also featuring John receiving his tea and thanking unknown girl for said beverage [0:12] 10. Tiny bit of 'Keep Yourself Alive' which Stu... Stu-pot found on the end of a tape, which goes "all you people kee...." before abruptly cutting out where the edit comes in the tape and something was taken out [0:02] 11. Brian asking for a pen [0:03] 12. Unknown girl saying "Yes love, here you are" [0:04] 10. Bit of 'Keep Yourself Alive' unused lyric, uttered by Freddie, from 2nd verse, which goes "all of you people" (with reberb) [0:02] 11. Tones. 50 mhz (for the Engineer to synch things up with) [0:06] 12. 'Great King Rat' opening two piano notes of discarded Take 7 (from Trident, 1972) [0:07] 13. D-major guitar chord rehearsal for an early version of Son & Daughter which Brian thought was crap, but it was on the end of a Slave tape [0:01] 14. Person unknown shreiking "How much?" six times (probably a Tape Op) [0:23] 15. Freddie singing the word "shrowd" instead of "crowd" (extract from Jesus) [0:01] 16. John thanking someone for something, and Brian tuning up in the background - probably for Jesus, or King Rat, or Keep Yourself Alive, or The Night Comes Down, maybe [0:14] CD 2: Liar (Misc Out-takes), Evening of the First session, about 8 O'clock Johny St Note: I am especially proud of this. Who needs that knob Greggeth B when you've got me collating this stuff like some God-type genius? 1. Liar (Out of tune piano bit, discarded in Aug 1971) [1.06] 2. Liar (Roger tuning drum and telling Roy he is doing so) [2.08] 3. Li (first sylubul of Liar uttered by Fred, but then he coughs and stops) [0:000000003] 4. Liar (bass |

Greg is pathologically obsessed with John Stuart. |

| Maz 12.01.2007 22:28 |
Say what you will about the Greg's latest cheap-shot (which it was), but I still had a big chuckle at this bit: Brian counting to 4. [0:04] Would be funnier if that track were 5 seconds long. |
| ok.computer 12.01.2007 23:07 |
What really and truly worries me is that a few people up the page thought this was for real.... Anyway Greg...if you ARE Greg....stop typing this shite and get back to work. I retire in 2038 and my pension lump sum will be ready about that time....just as you begin pressing the <ahem> box sets. Milk it baybee...Queen obviously has loadsa dosh to keep you worthily in their employ. |

| cmsdrums 13.01.2007 07:16 |
although I was taken in by the topic title, as soon as I read the line about having worked all of 6 hours last week, I know what was coming.... dispapointing in a way, but still very funny. If anyone else had posted this, it would be laughed at by all, but simply because it's Greg I'm sure he'll get shot down in flames. Oh well, at least he's back on Queenzone! |

how is it that Queen employ such a self-opinionated cretinous shithead? i sincerely hope they sack him...and get somebody in who CAN do the archiving job properly maybe then we would see some real anthologies...the beatles did there's in about 18months...queen have been dragging their heels since this piss-taker arrived |
| WilliamFraser 13.01.2007 10:22 |
GB was sacked by Queen. Everyone knows I tell the truth, but my poor spelling has made me look stupid. So to be taken more serious, I have written this in MS Word first so that the spelling is right. Maybe now I can be taken more serious. Greg Brooks is a bully. The thread called Queen Anthology PART 1 (March 2008) is a good example, because he is not interested in the box set. He is only interested in rubbishing John Stuart, and that is bullying. But have you ever wondered why he is such a tosser? Well here is the answer. GREG WAS SACKED BY THE BAND. He will tell you he was not sacked because he never worked for them, that he was self employed and that self employed people cannot be sacked. But the truth is he was contracted to do a job, and that job is now over. And now that that job is over, they have no need of his services. They want nothing more to do with him. It is like employing a self employed electrician to do a job, then when his job is over it is over. But if he was any good you would take him back, but if he was poor at his job you would not hire him again. So in that way he has been sacked. He has no influence on future releases. He is just a has been. That is why he is a bully. He likes to be the big shot but he can’t be any more and that is because people in here like Serry Vietinhoff and John S. Stuart know more about Queen than he does, and they do not even work for the band. That is why he has to rubbish there work. And he has the cheek to call me childish. I know this because I have a friend of a friend who knows him, and he is the same in real life. All mouth and no trousers. I do not see why he is allowed to do this in here. He is a spammer and a troll, but a troll with a name. So why should he get off with this when others don’t. |

William Fraser... you are dull and very boring. But I don't need to tell you this because you already know it - MANY people, I see from previous postings on QZ, have pointed this out several times. You're not a greatly liked or admired person, are you. Never mind. You are what some people in the UK refer to as a THICKET. A girlfriend is what you need Bill, a new focus, something other than your right hand and your computer mouse. Tell me... have we ever met? If so, did I manage to stay awake while you waffled on as tediously as ever? I probably didn't and that's why you're on the attack, you silly boy. Zebonka... you lack a sense of humour BIG style, as well as an iota of class or style. Try to be funny occassionally, try to see things for the humour in them, yes even my posts here, instead of looking for the nasty aspect every time. It just too predictable from you, and really dull, like you. Surprise us all with something new and out of character. Go on, please. cmsdrums...

VERY FUNNY. OH INDEED. TAKE LESSONS BILL FRASER. YOU NEED TO GET A LOT MORE FUNNY AS QUICK AS YOU CAN MATE. TRUST ME, THIS IS TRUE. ASK THE PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS WHISPER IN YOUR COMPANY AND WHOM SEEM CURIOUSLY PLEASED WHEN YOU ANNOUNCE YOU ARE LEAVING. If anyone else had posted this, it would be laughed at by all, but simply because it's Greg I'm sure he'll get shot down in flames. SPOT ON. PREDICTABLE PEOPLE - ALWAYS THE SAME NAMES TOO - ALWAYS DO THE OBVIOUS... ZEBONKA, WILLY FRASER, OK.COMPUTER, ETC Oh well, at least he's back on Queenzone! ONLY FOR THIS WEEKEND CHUM, COZ I'M IN THE STUDIO LOGGING TAPES NEWLY GENERATED, AND THERE ARE GAPS TO FILL... SO I WIND UP SOME PEOPLE ON THIS SITE AND AS USUAL IT WORKS LIKE CLOCKWORK, AGAIN AS USUAL. WHERE ARE YOU BARBIE??? Jeroen... YOU ARE CORRECT TOO. THANK YOU. I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE ON HERE AGREE WITH ME AND GET THE JOKE, AS MUCH AS I LOVE GETTING THE BACKS UP OF THOSE WHO LOVE TO HATE ME. By the way.... Harry Potter's on TV at the moment, and it ain't as bad as I thought. Now take care of yourselves lovely QZ-ers. Even William (no mates or girlfriend) Fraser. Even you!!!!

I'll be back here later to see your QZ chums getting all offended on your behalf. You could give them something to beat me with, in the meantime... you know how you like to dig up ancient posts I wrote for QZ, in 1999 or 2002, and quote them years and years later. You might want to do that again. Zzzzzzzzzzz! Food has now arrived for us lovely chaps. I must away. Good evening GB fans..... |

Damn. The first word of my post is "damn" simply because that's the only thought I could think of at first while reading yet another completely useless thread at QueenZone and yet witnessing WAY too many people not ignoring it, simply because it was started by a member named "Queen Archivist", who has not once been completely convincing of being either the bearer of the title "Queen Archivist" or even the suggested human name "Greg Brooks". How many times you people are going to reply to every obviously useless post just to waste your precious time while you can do something so much more substantial and useful, like for instance, sleep, eat, have sex, take a shit, or.. how about.. POST AN INTERESTING TOPIC FOR ONCE. Sorry folks, but I'm a long time Queenzone lurker and I do take some interest and pleasure in reading those VERY few useful and informative topics that occur every other millipercent of the time. THIS and other posts of this kind, are completely useless and everyone's just wasting time here. Come to think of it... one MIGHT think that this Greg Brooks fellow might actually have something more important, interesting and useful to do than to write a 3000+ words long (I didn't actually count it, but seemed long enough) post which contain nothing of anyone's interest, except a provocative title in contrast to the content, which obviously would make anyone here look through it. In order to make this post useful in some minor way to anyone, I'm just going to steal the opportunity to advertise my band once more, because the other post seemed to have gone either ignored or unnoticed. Go to myspace.com/jacquesdanielsproject and take a listen, thank you very much. |

First time I saw him I already found him a boring, pathetic, narrowminded twat. His spells and potions should not be taken seriously but they are very dangerous nevertheless. They divide the kingdom and make all the inhabitants opponents which are all confused. My now-ex forced me to watch his braindead ramblings, and ever since I've been wanting to shove that broom up his ass. But he keeps coming back. Now he's back AGAIN - and with a very very dangerous new girlfriend even - he just frightens me. |

Greg, Why post a topic like this? I was hoping to see some ACTUAL release information about an ACTUAL box set coming in the near future! Instead, I see a mean-spirited joke pointed at some of the members of this board. Greg, you are the QUEEN ARCHIVIST. You have inside information, I'm assuming. You have been telling us about a box set for so long now. When are we going to see some concrete information and a tentative release date better than "When it's done"? I'm not trying to be mean-spirited, but I've gotten tired of it. |

ok.computer... You are a first rate arsehole with no redeaming features or even a sense of humour. I pity you. I imagine you and and zebonka12 get on well together - you are both as dull and completely predictable as each other. You couldn't be impartial or balanced about me or anything to do with me, if your life depended on it. You only look for something shitty to say EVERY time, because you think with a huge chip on your shoulder. You are VERY tedious Mr. I don't mind people having a go at me... I'm used to it on this site from everyone who follows the lead of the person before them, like automatons, like clones, but you are ALWAYS so utterly predictable. Never anything original or refreshing or thought-provoking from you. Seriously... not ever. Can't you at least try sometimes??? Can't you at least think about this aspect of yourself? Give it serious thought and maybe see the truth in it. Try to be something, ANYTHING in fact, other than dull and... that word again, but it is the most fitting for you.... predictable. |

Hi Donna. Same to you. H.N.Y. Hope 2007 is great for you. |

No really, a big one) For a man who's every post consists of 'stop being predictable', I find your thrilling essay on predictability to be a little..... stale, hypocritical. Possibly even amusing! Yawn Factory. Population = You. |

Hey Zebonka12... who said of himself... I have a great sense of humour. You're not funny, that's all. Chummer... that is not for you to say. It's for other people to assess, you vane bugger. You just love yourself, pal!!! You are one of those people that believes yourself to be good looking, funny and irresistable to all females, in addition to your "great soh" aren't you!!! We can all imagine it. And you have many mirrors in your home. Talk about ego! And kidding one's self. Wakey wakey pal....back to the real world asap. |
| john bodega 21.01.2007 22:03 |
"Chummer... that is not for you to say. It's for other people to assess, you vane bugger." Well... there's a number of them that agree. But I'll ignore that for a moment! "You just love yourself, pal!!!" Oh I love 'bits' of myself. I'm a realistic type of person Greg, there are bits of me I can't stand! "You are one of those people that believes yourself to be good looking, funny and irresistable to all females, in addition to your "great soh" aren't you!!! We can all imagine it. And you have many mirrors in your home." I have... one mirror. And I avoid it strenuously. I sure love bantering with you Greg, but this unadulterated fiction you seem to spit out like a sewer hole... it has to stop! Well it doesn't really... whatever tickles your pasty white fancy I guess. "Talk about ego! And kidding one's self. Wakey wakey pal....back to the real world asap." Oh... oh I am! I greatly enjoy my passtimes, the people I share them with, and quite often find a quiet moment to enjoy the finer things like a sunset or the odd afternoon nap. I never said I was irresistible to women :P NOW who's making shit up?? |

I imagine you and and zebonka12 get on well together - you are both as dull and completely predictable as each other. You couldn't be impartial or [SNIP] etc etc into a rant probably written under the influence of gin, which as usual, demonstrates piss-poor sentence structure, endless whining, an avoidance of the original question which I posted almost two years ago, and a shotgun blast of diatribic shite which meanders on with about as much consistency as a Greg Books book.Predictable. A good word. Here's how it's a good word. 15 Jan 2007. "Greg" was asked when, when are you going to be finished. No sensible answer. 6 February 2006 - ditto 27 May 2006 - ditto 25 May 2006 - ditto several times throughout July - ditto December 2005 - ditto The list predictably goes on with predictably enough, no answers. Well what can I say? I'll keep it brief and mono-syllabic for the target audience. (That's you, by the way...anyone who spells "vain" as "vane" needs all the help they can get.) I certainly have no sense of humour when a grown man like you spends so much time in here when he should be working at getting those mythical box sets out to the punters. There's nothing original in what I post in response to you because I - like many others - have only one, very simple request... Where the fuck is the material you "say" you are working on? Now over to you to do something original - provide us with some answers. What is there in these archives? When will we see it? I have a feeling, that there is very little. How else are managing to spend so much time in here, when you should be wiping the sweat from your baldy little brow working hard to produce that which we have waited YEARS for...? The time lapse is utterly ridiculous. I'd love to see the project turnaround time for the Beatles' Anthologies...Dylan's Bootleg stuff...The Who's Maximum R'n'B (an excellent, highly recommended package), the Zepplin Remasters, etc. It's never going to match the years you have strung this out for. You can keep your pity - put your efforts into getting the work done. It's what you've been paid for. Mind you, if inserting the phrase "Property of Queen Productions" over everything and releasing error-tastic Queen Concert books is the height of it, I think we might have a long wait... |

"The Who's Maximum R'n'B (an excellent, highly recommended package)" DAMN RIGHT. |

DAMN haha, that's actually better than mine : "I used to check my reflection jumping with my pink guitar I must've fucked my direction 'cos I ended up a superstar.

Hahaha.Actually, the only part of yours that doesn't make sense is the pink guitar line; everything else actually sounds about right. "Boardroom" makes more sense than "ballroom", because the song was about Pete's disgust with a lengthy meeting where he received a million dollars for the publishing rights to some of his songs. Needless to say, I'll never get understand the sixth line -- Roger's voice is just too garbled for me to decipher. |
| john bodega 22.01.2007 11:27 |
Hahaha, Well the posing in the glass thing sounds as close as anything else... I was going to perform the song at TAFE using the alternate verse actually. Just for a laugh! |

blooody NORA there's some nasty banter going on in this thread. but seriously,...... when are the anthologys coming out? a friend of mine went to the queen fan club convention in wales and it was announced then that they would be or a part of them would be out for xmas 06. and yeah it does seem from past reading, whenever someone asks greg brooks a question they just get a silly, sarcastic or 'funny' answer. ------------------- Wii |

Hah, last time I checked Wikipedia it just told me the lost verse was indecipherable! |

John S.Stuart has done quite an exemplary job for us so far in documenting what is available and i am sure if it was up to the majority of the fans we would prefer to see him doing the archiving.At least John will let us know and point out things to us. All we want to know from the band have told you is when we are likely to see any box sets, if at all. That's all. |
| theCro 23.01.2007 16:56 |
greg, get some chicks, get some fucking life and get laid [if you can] and you'll feel much more better than posting here... for God's sake, you are Queen official person and you cant post topics like this, moron |

It is always welcome when someone values a labour of love. Personally, I find such praise a great incentive to push boundaries even further, so hopefully, we may be able to use this as some sort of spring-board to launch into a 2007 campaign. |
