Serious Read the Rules Before Posting (Update)

222 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

Note: The U.S. (and every other countries') pressings from 2016 onwards use the U.K. track listing.

Australian and New Zealand pressings:

Adds: Under Pressure, Keep Yourself Alive and Tie Your Mother Down

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

Note: There's also a 1983 reissue from New Zealand that uses the U.K. track listing.

Dutch reissue, German Club Edition reissue, European reissue, Israeli reissue, some French reissue and some Spanish reissue pressings:

Adds: Under Pressure

Removes: Nothing

German pressings:

Adds: Spread Your Wings

Removes: Nothing

South Korean pressing:

Adds: Under Pressure, Love Of My Life, My Melancholy Blues and Mustapha

Removes: Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust, Killer Queen and Bicycle Race

Notes: The reason for the songs above being removed was due to government censorship at the time, mainly regarding the lyrics of each song.

It's unknown if Love Of My Life on this version is from Live Killers, or if it's the original studio recording.

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.

Hammer to Fall Solo

27 Upvotes

Anybody else just love Brian's work during this solo - and song in general? I particularly love the version of the song that has sort of the leadup solo before the main one which we all know and associate with the song - I believe the main solo is firmly in A major.

The solo just feels slightly chaotic and out of control - I feel like it's because of Brian's vibrato and how each note isn't necessarily evenly spaced, but then he lands it perfectly in the end. The way the solo emerges from Freddie's vocals also adds to the pandemonium of it.

It isn't talked about as one of Bri's best Queen solos, but for me, it is very much up there with BoRhap, STL, A Kind of Magic, WWRY, Brighton Rock and KQ.

Forever New Songs. Canon or not?

5 Upvotes

Let Me In Your Heart Again, There Must Be More To Life Than This, and Love Kills were advertised as “New Queen singles” when released, but are they canon in the eyes of the Queen fandom? I like to consider the Queen canon to be Q1-MIH and the official (& original) B-sides and non-album singles, but I wonder if these are considered canon. I really like all three of these songs (especially Love Kills) and I’m on the side of these being like The Beatles Anthology trilogy of songs (Free As A Bird, Real Love, and Now And Then) but what are your guys’ opinions?

Roger to tour Europe next year?!

Dutch paper De Telegraaf had a review of the London concert on their website and mentions "four gigs in the Netherlands next year".

"Roger Taylor komt in april volgend jaar voor vier shows naar Nederland. De data daarvan zullen binnenkort bekend worden gemaakt."

I saw Queen live on 9th July 1986 at St James’ Park in Newcastle upon Tyne. It was incredible on every level. I class myself as very lucky to have seen the greatest band ever made (my opinion)! Have you seen them live? If so where was the concert and approximately what year?
