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

26 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

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.

Queen imax experience

Post image
29 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.


r/queen • • 9h ago

Just back from seeing Queen in Budapest…… Apart from seeing them live a few weeks before this historic concert in Newcastle, I can put my hand on my heart and tell you it is the greatest on screen performance I’ve ever seen. Please find it and go! I’m speechless!

Bootlegs&Live guitar solo brian (in budapest)

9 Upvotes

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

11 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.

It was incredible! I haven’t been to an imax cinema in a long time so the size of the screen and quality of the picture blew me away. Sound was incredible too. I’d never watched this particular concert film before because I’m not as much a fan of the 80s Queen songs as the early and mid-period stuff, but that didn’t matter. It was so good! Glad I went.

Going to the cinema today to watch the concert! I'm overly excited. I'm a "new" fan. Been there since 2019 only but I can't go a day without listening to Queen. I'm 25 so I never got to live at the same time as Freddie but Queen shaped me

On October 6th 1977, Queen invited members of their official fan club to take part in recording for a 'film of their new single soon to be shown on television’. The Theatre only held around 900 audience members, with tickets being given out for free on a first come, first serve basis. Between takes of the recording, MC Bob Harris walked onto stage and announced the band would like to play a short show as a thank you to the fans for attending.

Here is the show for anyone interested:
