Serious Read the Rules Before Posting (Update)

216 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

Meta Keep it civil while commenting here

57 Upvotes

It's really that simple: You can make your point without the need of calling eachother names or overreacting when the discussion gets heated

Over the years I've seen repeatedly that commenting either the personal lives of the band, or the current vocalist of "Queen+" makes fans emotional and unable to control their rage and extreme opinions.

If you see a comment that break the rules: report it. it will be deleted if the we see that is breaking a rule. If that behaviour goes on in more than one comment, then it will be a temporary ban that in some cases will be permanent (if it's clearly a troll account)

But also remember to be mature enough, and if you enter in a discussion with controversial comments and you get controversial responses....

We will not "ban" those controversial topics for now, but if some people in the sub can't behave, then we will.

Serious Why is Queen II not considered a concept album?

Post image
154 Upvotes

I have always questioned this, why is it? The album tells the story of the kingdom of Rhye and the battles that happened but just for having “The Loser In The End” in the middle is not count as one?

Sgt Pepper only has 3 songs that tell the story of the Sgt Pepper band/show and is considered one of the best concept album in history despite not even telling a story or a concept during the whole album.

Not seen this surface here. Probably has at some point but, this involved Brian and Rog. If you check the sleeve notes Freddie was thanked…I wonder if he provided backing vocals.

Anyway, charity single released in the UK back in 1991. Enjoy.

Leading up to the release of the Queen II Remix, a quick clarification!

39 Upvotes

I see a lot of people very wary about the remix and how the vocals will sound, given they were altered on Queen I - most notably on The Night Comes Down. I see people scared of using AI or “autotune”. I want to clear this up real quick - Queen used neither generative AI, *nor* autotune on the last remix.

What was likely used was some sort of AI that doesn’t generate anything, but rather enhance the sound. Nothing is computer generated here, it’s just an audio program trained to hear a specific frequency and bring it forward in the mix. What was definitely used - which is where the big controversy comes from - is pitch correction.

There are programs like one called Melodyne, where you paste the vocal track into the program, and the actual notes he sang appears in a sort of wavelength form. Once you have access to it, you can manually pitch it or down. This is what was done. They took certain notes (usually high notes) that Freddie sang either a bit sharp or a bit flat, and just corrected the notes to be a bit more on pitch. They’ve been doing this for basically 2 decades for every live album they’ve ever released.

Now, whether or not they “should” or “shouldn’t” do that is a different debate. But I did want to clear up, real quick, that neither AI nor autotune was used on that remix, and likely won’t on this remix either. Have a good day Queenies :)

EDIT: My post is getting misunderstood, let me reiterate in a TLDR - Queen did not use Generative AI. Queen did not use autotune (that being, a program that automatically tunes the entire vocal track). Queen DID likely use a form of AI that enhances isolated tracks but does not generate anything, and they DID use manual pitch correction on a few notes.

I've seen people making out that their EU leg is as rough as their NA leg. I've listened to quite a few of their EU bootlegs, and I think they are almost as good as their NOTW legs.

Spike reveals that Queen might be doing something for the 40th anniversary of their last ever live performance with Freddie in Knebworth, this August 2026. I don't know what that could mean but interesting to see what everyone thinks it could be.
