Queen Appreciation thread

People seemed to want this, I seem to be lame, here we are.

(BTW, I don't listen to the music, I just randomly am starting it for people.)

 

stealing ideas? to shame to shame.

Axl.

 

Yeah well, I'm bored, and have no life, and all my songs are on my comp, so I have to sit infront of it to listen.

 

Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round

Yeah... Queen is one of my favorite bands of all time. Too bad Freddy's dead now.


BTW: If you don't listen to their music, and are just doing it because some people suggest it, then that's pretty lame.

 

Yeah, Queen is great. Many, many memorable songs. My favorite would have to be Bohemian Rhapsody, followed closely by One Vision. They were very underrated in their time.



GOA is A-OK!!

 

Yeah, Bohemian Rhapsody is my favorite song of their's also, it is almost a 'rock/opera' song.

 

Yeah, it's definitely one of those 'epic' songs, like Stairway to Heaven or Freebird. One of the cornerstones of the classic rock era.



GOA is A-OK!!

 

quite the rock opus, Bohemian Rhapsody was....... I hate the fact that it still remains known to younger people only because of the Waynes World movie...


If it hadn't been for that in 1992, most folks would have a clue what you are talking about....


I always dug Queen for their soundtrack work on Flash Gordon and Highlander....... not to mention that silly Iron Eagle movie.

 

Yes, Bohemian Rhapsody is definetly a favorite of mine.

Say, does anyone know what the songs they did for the movies Highlander and Flash Gordon are called?


Edit: Oh? They did one for Iron Eagle? Guess I'll actually have to see that film again.

 

That's a good point Space. My uncle had a whole collection of Queen albums, so I basically grew up with it. I used to run around the house screaming 'WE WILL WE WILL ROCK YOU!!'



GOA is A-OK!!

 

Bohemian Rhapsody owns all!

That is all I have to say...

 

What would be a good album to get if I wanted to start a collection of Queen CDs?

I like their stuff, just never got around to buying the music.

 

The Flash Gordon song is called Flash. The Highlander one I can't remember though...

If you want a good album, try a Greatest Hits album. Those are always good. I have Classic Queen and EVERY song is great. The rest of the songs I have are downloads.



GOA is A-OK!!

 

I used to run around the house screaming 'WE WILL WE WILL ROCK YOU!!'


That's freakin' cool, Ghosts.... my three year old nephew does that now!!!!




Maulfly.... Queen did the whole soundtrack for both of those films.

 

Sweet.

 

Ahhh...the Highlander song was Prince of the Universe.



GOA is A-OK!!

 

oh.... there was another one on the Highlander soundtrack called "Who Wants to Live Forever?"


great freakin' song

 

Well, I definitely liked the current Queen Elizabeth when she was younger but now I think she's a bit of an old dragon.

Queen Victoria was a good ruler, but the old Queen Elizabeth was probably the toughest Queen to rule England anyway.

I'm not sure if you could class Bodicea as a Queen, she was leader of a celtic tribe and people often refer to her as Queen. That's an interesting point really.

This is a good thread that appreciates Queens. I think Kings get all the limelight when the Queens were often just as interesting.

 

YES that's the last song on my Greatest Hits CD. That IS a great song.

She's a killer Queen
gunpowder gelatine
dynamite with a laserbeam
guaranteed to blow your mind.



GOA is A-OK!!

 

Hmmm...looks like yet another thread will need to be made for the other Queen fans.

 

Freddy mercury tribut concert 92. the one and only axl rose singing we will rock you. Best moment ever.

axl.

 

FLASH!!!
AH AH!!!
He saved every one of us!

 

This dude walks readily down the street,
He's a pretty cool way to go.
There ain't no sound but the sound of speet,
Machine guns ready to go.
Are ya ready to hit , are you ready for this?
ARe you hangin' on the edge of your seat?
Out of the Dorr way the bullets RIP!!! to the sound of the beat.

Another one bites the dust.

 

But but, I've done this before!!! And it bombed

Oh well, it's probably been purged from the ystem by now, so:

Queen rules!!! I love the version with Elton John of "The Show Must Go On"

Does anybody know what we are looking for?
