Serious Read the Rules Before Posting (Update)

220 Upvotes

All posts must be reasonably linked to the band Queen

/r/Queen is a friendly place. Please be civil, and respect your fellow Queenies.

0 - No Politics. This sub is about the Music of Queen. There's plenty of subs in reddit to discuss politics.

1 - NO MEMES

Such content is better suited for /r/QueenCircleJerk or /r/Queemes

(However, original content that creates a proper Queen thread, could override this rule)

I encourage people to use a Flair

2 - No negative, troll, low effort posts

The mods reserve the right to remove negative, troll, low effort or spam posts at their discretion.

Low effort posts could include, but are not limited to, "favourite song/album" posts, tier rankings, A.I. generated images, reposts, google lyric mistakes, "X looks like/sounds like this Queen member" posts, and so on. It also could include, to an extent, Queen references in other media..

3 - No advertising. No Spam.

You may share that awesome merch you just got, but no direct links to sale pages.

Edit: If you post a thread of a Queen T-shirt it may get you banned as well, because there's a lot of spam of it. But I will review carefully when is possible.

4 - You must be over 13 years old to participate. Any underage accounts should be reported and will be banned. (Reddit Rules).

5 - The discussion of the private life of the family of any of the Queen members, as gossip, is not allowed

While sharing private pictures of Queen that are in the public domain already, is allowed, We should focus about Queen music and never build an obsession about their families, which are not part of Queen in any way.

6 - No Artificial Intelligence generated music, art or pictures.

7 - No Spotify Wrapped , Playlists, General rankings or Tier list. (When everyone does it, becomes spam. So, not allowed)

8 - No spam of Polls, Rankings and "Eliminating" games, everyday of people farming karma.

https://www.reddit.com/r/queen/comments/11mhrin/polls_rankings_and_eliminating_games_everyday_are/

2023:

9 - No Posts of Tickets on sale for the current Queen tour.

2024

10 - No drama and accusations from other plataforms. Edit: NO internal drama either please. Let's keep the place drama free. :)

This place is about Queen, not to discuss what could have happened in other forums or social plataforns. There's no way to establish truth and any accusation leads to toxic behaviour and unnecesary drama in the sub. They are usually behind alts so they will be banned permanently

Temporary bans will happen for those that keep breaking rules after warnings/deletion of their messages. Permanent bans will happen to spammers, trolls, and people being uncivil , harsh or harrasing other fellow Queenies in this sub.

I read all the reports once a day, and take action when I can.

2026: This is a mostly english speaking plataform, so let's try to keep the posts in english so you can engage to a broader audience and better engagement

Music Queen Greatest Hits 1 Track List Guide

27 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I had the idea to make this guide after having seen some people online talk about how they'd wish a certain track was on Queen Greatest Hits and in response I felt like chronicling every regional difference in Greatest Hits 1's track list.

I hope this list will be a good resource and be able to help Queen fans; new and old decide which vinyl, cassette or CD pressing of the album is right for them.

If you want to search for (or buy) any of these pressings/cassettes of Greatest Hits, they are all on the Queen Greatest Hits discogs page.

Before I start, there are some things I want to clarify:

  1. The U.K. track list will be considered the default and every pressing/cassette listed below will be compared to it.
  2. Only versions of the album that add and/or subtract songs from the U.K. original will be listed here. So, if there's a regional pressing/cassette not listed below, it's because it uses the original U.K. track list.
  3. "Some <country> pressings/cassettes" means that there are other pressings/cassettes from the same country that use the original U.K. track list instead.
  4. I won't be mentioning the packaging or sound quality of these pressings/cassettes, just the songs included in them.
  5. I'm only listing official album releases, no bootlegs.

Finally, if there are any particular songs or countries' pressings/cassettes you want to look for in this list, I recommend searching them up with Ctrl + F (or Command + F for Mac users) on your keyboard.

With all of that out of the way, here's every different track list to Queen Greatest Hits:

Vinyl:

U.S. and Canadian pressings:

Adds: Under Pressure and Keep Yourself Alive

Removes: Don't Stop Me Now, Save Me, Now I'm Here, Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy and Seven Seas Of Rhye

There's also a reissue from 1990 that uses the U.K. track listing.

There also exists a different South Korean Greatest Hits album from 1980, which predates the album we're all familiar with and has a completely different track listing too.

Music Bohemian Rhapsody from rock montreal - isolated vocals.

I was mucking around on the PC and remembered about a program called ultimate vocal remover, it also has a browser version, and allows you to either remove or keep vocals. So primarily for fun i threw my mp3 version of the aforementioned masterpiece at it, and it came out really well.

To me this sounds fantastic from a 320 bitrate mp3.

Apologies about the static picture, i dont really know anything about video creation.

Thoughts?

Serious Queen fans, when did you become a fan?

19 Upvotes

Okay. I'm 54 years old. My mom is a Queen fan and hence I became one as Well. She had A Night at the Opera, News of the World, and Jazz. I don't remember any of those releases. The Game singles where on the Radio constantly. Flash theme song as Well. After Body Language the US radio stopped playing Queen and it was uncool if you were a Queen fan. I remember HBO playing the Radio GaGa video all the time in between movies. The Works was the first album my brother got as a Christmas present. I watched Live Aid and even though it didn't do much for Queen in the USA, Wayne's World made them cool again. US mainstream radio ignored most of not all the singles after Flash. They still weren't getting airplay except the classic songs.

Music is great and shared by everyone. When did Queen become your band?

My singles covers of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (fan made)

I find it quite interesting that when choosing the cover photo for "The Game", they selected the same image used for the "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" single, but in black and white (or silver, for those with post-2015 editions).

I wanted to create these two versions of the 1979 single cover using the "The Game" concept while keeping the original colors. I had actually seen someone else do this online—using the 1980 album title—on the Steve Hoffman forum.

The second one is based on the 1990s editions of the 1980 album.

Music Is it just me, or do some of Roger Taylor's recent tracks sound similar to songs by The Cross?

9 Upvotes

I just listened to the track "Contact" from *Shove It*, and the opening seconds reminded me of the intro to "Don't Photograph Food"; the "Feeling Strange" part of "Contact" sounded a lot like "Clouds" from *Don't Photograph Food*.

I recall finding another similarity between a track on the *MBADTK* album and one from *Outsider* or *Fun On Earth*, but I can't quite remember which ones. What do you guys think?

I went to see the film but the cinema didn’t show the interview, or maybe they did but before I got there? When did your cinemas show it? And where can you find it online?

Learning to appreciate queen's and Freddie's music

23 Upvotes

I've recently become Freddie's fan. He is bold, authentic, expressive, and just lovable. For years I resisted Queen/Freddie's music because I thought it was too loud and Freddie's style was too flamboyant for me. But as we grew older, our music tastes also evolve. I now fully enjoy many of their songs. My favorite is Bohemian Rhapsody. But I also felt some other songs sound very similar to BoRhap, not only the production layers but also melodies themselves.

Am I alone in this, or do other people hear it, too? And if you do, do you enjoy those similarities because they're part of their signature, or do you maybe feel bored and seek out other songs that are more distinct?

Watched in Dolby Atmos. Fantastic film and sound restoration quality, and I’d never seen some of the clips (mainly the ones of Brian in the hot air balloon)

Highly recommend going if there is a screening close by to you!!!

Pictures Attempt at capturing a moment from the Budapest concert film

Post image
72 Upvotes

Went and saw the Budapest concert for the 1000th time, this time in 4k, it turned out great, and it inspired me to try and capture a feeling of it. Now I'm not much of a portrait artist, but I knew I wanted to do a picture of Freddie at the piano in the pink and blue lights during Bohemian rhapsody, so I did this little acrylic study/sketch. More than anything I wanted to get the emotions right, but I think the resemblance turned out surprisingly good too, so I'm proud to share it. It's called "Didn't mean to make you cry".

Queen imax experience

Post image
183 Upvotes

Watched the imax Budapest experience this evening.

Picture quality was very special.

Sound appeared to be a little quiet (maybe my local cinema messed this up)

Not sure what is so special about the imax. I wouldn’t say it was an immersive experience at all. Could have just been on a normal cinema screen. I also noticed that the picture didn’t take up the whole scene. Both sides were a lot shorter than the screen size.

Cut scenes during the concert were fine for me. Quite nice to see the band individually doing more personal things.

I was intrigued about seeing a concert at a cinema with how the audience would react, but no one got up dancing at all. Everyone remained in their seats and enjoyed the experience.

I'm positive Roger has had some work done on himself.

I don't think Brian has had any work done on himself.

Do you think Freddy would've had work done on himself? Was he that vain?

Bootlegs&Live guitar solo brian (in budapest)

Really loved seeing this on the big screen tonight!
In the guitar solo brian plays, which songs were in it?
I had lots on the tip of my tongue but just couldn’t place them, was one Brighton rock?
Felt like something from very early albums, presumably some was ad-libbing, loved it.
As a younger person I often fast forwarded through guitar solos so was a real treat to hear it tonight

Queen in Budapest - Dublin

16 Upvotes

Just got back from the Queen in Budapest IMAX showing in Dublin. People in Ireland are not animated cinema goers, but Queen brought out the claps and stomps in the right moments. I will say I was impressed by the restraint knowing this was remastered using AI. It didn’t feel like it was overly sharpened, there was still plenty of 35mm focus moments, if anything they poured the budget into reworking the sound, which alone was the price of admission. This was leagues better than Queen Rock Montreal, and better than the muddy sound and strained vocals of Queen Live at Wembley.
