The cross-reference that tops all cross-references is in 'Soul Brother' the
flipside to Under Pressure. 

If anybody has the lyrics, please post them, as if I remember correctly
they are quite amusing. (All my Queen albums/singles/stuff are back in Greece, 
and therefore I can't post them myself).

I don't know if anyone else has seen it, but there is a CD out there
that I picked up called Queen Ruined by Rick Rubin (or something very
close).  If you see it, don't walk, run to the exit.  It is just horrible
what Mr. Rubin does to these incredible songs.  (Probably in cohoots with
Vanilla Ice to smear the artists of "Under Pressure") :-)

Barcelona is a great album and really shows off Freddie's incredible 
vocals.

Hello all.  I'm back.

On Brian's guitar:

According to Guitar World Magazine, January 1993, quote:

"... Queen's rudder was Brian's Red Special guitar, the idiosyncratic axe
he built when he was just 17.  Designing and building an electric guitar
from scratch was a piece of cake for a kid who went on to take a degree
in physics and math and later pursued a doctorate of astronomy..."

Well I hope that helps those in search of the light.  (sorry, had to toss
in some press for his album.  Killer stuff!)

It's called the Freddie Mercury Tribute "Concert for AIDS Awareness" which
came out in 2 separate LDs, each of them sell for 5,728 yen here in Japan.
Vol.1 include guests play their songs and queen songs, also has some video
clip of queen. Vol.2 has 3 queen members with guest musicians play all queen
songs.

A couple of the songs from A Kind of Magic are like that also.  "One Year
of Love"  mentions  "Pain is So Close to Pleasure,"  for instance.  The
phrase "There can be only one" appears in "A Kind of Magic" and "Gimme

What's on the F.M. album "The Great Pretender"?  I just saw it listed in
Noteworthy but never heard of it before.  Is this Queen material or solo
stuff?

Also, is Barcelona still available from Hollywood Records?  I can't find it
anywhere and will probably have to special order it.

Hi!

I picked up a set of strange Queen calendar cards at a record
show today.  They are just slightly longer than the normal
U.S. trading card or baseball card size (probably metric).  On
one side of each are various photos of Freddie with and without
the rest of Queen.  On the other side are 1988 calendars in a
language that I'm not familiar with.  At the bottom of each
calendar are the following words: 

HAJONNUS
FABRICANTE / DISTRIBUIDOR

LISBOA - COIMBRA - OLHAO (there's a curvy line over the A)

The months are as follows:

Janiero
Fevereiro
Marco
Abril
Maio
Junho
Julho
Agosto
Setembro
Outubro
Novembro
Dezembro

Does anyone know what language this is?  Has anyone ever heard of
these cards before?

No, Portuguese is only spoken in Brazil.  Spanish, which Portuguese is derived
from, is spoken in all the other South American countries.  But Queen is
popular in South America all around.

I have been a Queen fan for quite some time (from Champaign, IL) and I was
wondering if I was missing anything else of Queen's that might be of interest.
I currently have the following:

Queen
Queen II
Queen - At the Beeb
Sheer Heart Attack
A Night at the Opera
A Day at the Races
Jazz
News of the World
Queen Live Killers
The Game
Hot Space
Flash Gordon Soundtrack
The Works
Its a Kind of Magic
Queen Live at Wembley '86
The Miracle
Innuendo
(I have the blue/red greatest hits too...before I got all the other stuff)

I also have,
The Royal Philhamonic Orchestra does Queen's Raphsody
A Tribute to F. Mercury
The Great Pretender
Mr. Bad Guy
Barcelona

I am mainly interested in other imports and stuff related to Queen's music, not
necessarily the solo projects.  Are there any other imports or bootlegs of Queenthat aren't single cuts?

Thanks

I think you've got it backwards. It was the _oaks_ who were too lofty!

It's just an allegory -- it needn't be a _perfect_ one, just as 
many analogies are imperfect.

You _could_ interpret it this way, on the other hand there is nothing
saying that the trees were _felled_. And they're _kept_ equal which
means that they maintain the ability to grow.

It may be that the trees destroy themselves, but there are no
lumberjacks in the allegory.
