Only a moderate Queen fan here. Some songs and albums are really really great. ‘The best’, I don’t know... But Bryan May is a really great guitarist and really original. So, Queen hype or not, he really is among the greats. Even Keith has said that May is a great guitarist.

The Quo from Piledriver through On The Level are great, great boogie rock. Just fun old good-time rock’n’roll. Love it.

Question about the album they have been working on for years: Didn’t they gather to record already back in 2014? And 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019? They did scrap the material or have they just started from scratch?

QuoteTravelinMan Quotetatters Putting Ringo ahead of Buddy Rich had to have been someone's idea of a joke. Paul McCartney is a better drummer than Ringo. Thanks. I needed a great laugh today. How a stupid comment.

QuoteDGA35 Quotetatters Putting Ringo ahead of Buddy Rich had to have been someone's idea of a joke. Was it John who (jokingly?) said Ringo isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles? No. Urban myth. A joke made by comedian Jasper Carrot. Lennon never said anything like that.

QuoteGasLightStreet I am a bit disappointed that 2 remixes of Scarlet are on the album but not Through The Lonely Nights (which apparently is not on Spotify, not sure about wherever else sans YouTube) - or anything else for that matter. Seems like a no brainer.

Quotejbwelda Always cracked me up: they are handing out heroin and cocaine like candy at the neighborhood chemist shop and yet they are arresting people for a little weed. People like this don't deserve the fame or money...in the USA any proceeds from a crime are supposed to be forfeited including money made on the sale of books etc. Is it that way where this book is being published?

I sounds like a fine idea to let the other part speak. It will most certainly not do anything as such, we all know it was a generation-gap-thing anyway, but Pilcher is in his right to tell his side of the story. The evidence lies in front of us: Pilcher was using questionable and illegal methods to grab his victims, which makes him and his team very dishonest. But that does not mean our musica

He may have had his 15 minutes, but talk about being relegated to the dust bins of history. 15 years of owning my record shop and maybe one or two sales of his records, if that. R.I.P.

Fantastic legendary album. For me, Bowie has made way better records, but the impact and the whole mythology regarding the record, is unmatched. Personally I rank Hunky Dory, Station To Station, Low, “Heroes” and Lodger, way higher. But Ziggy is a marvelous album and as a whole, it’s one of those records bigger than life.

Gilmour’s first solo album was awesome. I have enjoyed the rest of them, but the first one was outstanding. However, we all know he needs ‘the other guy’ as much as ‘the other guy’ needs Gilmour.

Quotemaumau paul mccartney was embarassing, guess he gives his best only on a 47 songs setlist performance these days There was a reason why he chose Lady Madonna! The song is about nurses and caretakers. Great song choice, but unfortunately not that greatly performed. Btw. His concerts are of nothing like this.

QuoteBashlets Don’t understand business worth shit but you would think the stones could have bought the rights back to their songs years ago from ABKCO.

Quotefrankotero Hmm, yeah this is all great but I continue to have skepticism for ABCKO. Hopefully they do something redeeming in the near future. Again, ABKCO have been forced to make a move like this, as the band themselves have the final say on releasing outtakes.
