It´s been a long time since I came here for the first (and only) time!! but now I have so much time to post!!I see some of you have plans for the saturday. I´m going to another place here in argentina, called Rosario, cause a group of fans are going to have a party in a `disco, only for Queeners. So, we (a group of fans, including me!) are going to go there!! theyre going to do some karaoke, dance, etc...It´s gonna be fun!! I think we have to remember Freddie that way! I know it hurts, I cry every single 24/11, cause he´s so much to me, but I think he want us to remember with a smile on our face!! I hope to post more!! cause I really like this thread! Lots of love for you all!!! sounds like a perfect night out:biggrin2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 From Queenzone newsletter: Sponsor A Star for Freddie The 24th of November 2007 sees the 16th year since Freddie Mercury’s passing. Last year as part of the celebrations of what would have been Freddie’s 60th birthday a special website was launched called http://www.loveroflifesingerofsongs.com/. The site contains the ‘Sponsor A Star’ campaign mechanic that allows you to sponsor your own personal star and post a message for Freddie in one of two virtual online constellations. Funds raised from the sponsored stars go to the Mercury Phoenix Trust. If you have not yet sponsored a star, join not only Queen fans from across the globe, but many of Freddie’s celebrity friends and fans including Annie Lennox, Dave Grohl, Robert De Niro, Diana Ross and Paul Rodgers in helping Fight AIDS Worldwide with the Mercury Phoenix Trust. Thanks to all who have done so over the past year. Click here to sponsor a star: http://stars.loveroflifesingerofsongs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jengafer Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 sorry to rant I just think it is a bit of a cheek really, Although I do love Bri and Rog, but it is not Queen is it, maybe they should call the band Almost Queen or not quite Queen Half Queen Not really Queen.....

suzie Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Dear fellow Queeniacs, I have just come across some links on Youtube I thought I might share with you. Here is the background info to them: You might have heard of Maurice Béjart, a choreographer and ballet director who died last week at the age of 80. His most famous piece towards the end of his life was Le Presbytère (Ballet or Life), a ballet to the music of Queen and Mozart, dedicated to those who had died young, especially from Aids. It is a synthesis of different arts – music, dance, and fashion performance and was performed for the first time in January 1997 with Gianni Versace creating the costumes for it. Here are the links - enjoy it: (No 3 is missing there, I'm sorry..) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoOrYaL5SWw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY9STJoyD4U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweet-dreams Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Today I found out that the junior rock band at my school is performing 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' at the performance night this Thursday! And they're really good. I hope that they do it well! I wish I had started playing piano for them at the start of the year when I had a chance to. If I had known that they'd be doing Queen... I love that song so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 This morning's news from Brian's soapbox: http://www.brianmay.com/brian/brianssb/brianssb.html **Thu 29 Nov 07** QUEEN AND PAUL RODGERS RIDE AGAIN! FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER A STUDIO SINGLE ... Well folks ... We had a frenetic few days ... about last Friday, we made a snap decision that we'd like to offer a track for World AIDS Day - a track which we've been enjoying in the studio ... Those who saw Queen plus P.R. on tour last year might remember that Roger sang a contemplative little song called "Say It's Not True" in our acoustic set ... Well, the idea came up to bring this song into the fold, as something Paul, Roger and I could put our collective stamp on .... and, in the atmosphere of 'good chemistry', the song grew rapidly into ... well, a modest Epic, I would say ! We all sing on it, it takes a new direction, and it packs a lot of surprises ... Our intention is to give the track away completely free for World AIDS Day - which is this weekend - so suddenly we had to pull out all the stops and really complete this recording ... So that's where I've been, this rainy night, until 6am ... down at Roger's studio, slaving over a hot mixer! I'm very excited about the way it sounds ... pretty adventurous, I think, and it has important things to say ... So it goes to mastering this morning ... and ... should emerge .... momentarily!! It's BIG!!! Watch this space! We haven't done this for a very long time ... but somehow the spirit of Queen has been very strong, the last few days ... and Paul has been in magnificent voice, I'm sure you will agree ... As for guitars ... they are not lacking ... I got some sore fingers along the way ... no holds barred .. Well, enough said - the track is perfectly capable of speaking for itself .... Cheers Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
