I can easily imagine Beck or St.Vincent doing two of three mentioned songs. and yes, extreme did brilliant job with SP. Not taking into account time lines or the reality of whether certain people are still alive here is an alternative Hot Space disc. . . . Staying Power. Jimi Hendrix Dancer. Primus Back Chat. Chic Body Language. Nine Inch Nails Action This Day. Bruce Springsteen Put Out The Fire. Kiss Life Is Real. Kate Bush calling All Girls. The Who Las Pallablas De Amour. Heart Cool Cat. Adam Lambert under Pressure. Meatloaf and Lady Gaga Cool Cat - Adam Lambert & Paul Rogers. |

Sony will not be able to release multiple box sets in a year if the pricing policy remains at current levels. It will be interesting to see how the catalogue sale affects upcoming releases but when a release is £200 for the various formats (eg box set, pic disc etc) that will limit most to one purchase a year. Initially they will want the full catalogue available on their label I guess. |

I disagree, actually. I think the tour showed how good some of the songs were with a harder arrangement. i completely disagree. (i was at MK and had roughly 3 people between me and the stage). Even Staying Power (which admittedly was improved by live performance) was pretty much a no-no for those around me. The HS tunes appeared to leave folk briefly "switching off / hanging around for the next tune". I was in about the same spot at Leeds . As far as I remember the HS tracks went down quite well. People around me knew the words and sang along. there was no antagonism towards them. |

I'll just leave it here, from Brian's Instragram: I guess that if they already started working on Queen II remix, that would be for next year. I remember that John Anthony talked about the remix at the end of last year, and they were at the time working on it, so... It's great that we probably will have another box set next year, but not sure about remixing Queen II... one of the top favourites for die-hard fans |

Not taking into account time lines or the reality of whether certain people are still alive If you're not taking death into account, then I think one Freddie Mercury is the obvious choice for a revised Hot Space. |

I don't see any point in an Atmos mix if you cant buy it on Blu Ray / 4k disc. Any streaming media will result in a reduction of quality as well as the introduction of adverts etc.

It’s not even something I’m particularly interested in but it makes absolutely no sense to me. |

Tidal don't have adverts while listening to Dolby Atmos albums disco_mart Agreed leighburne : not releasing Surround mixes physically is awful.... see The Beatles Revolver. big backlash to that decision. |

Didn't Fatty's Diaries sum up this period perfectly:  1981 - The 'Hot Space' Sessions"This album will be the end of our careers. David Bowie turned up today and jammed for a while. This album will be the end of our careers." |

Brian explained a bit more about the Sony sale in this interview and how this might potentially give them the opportunity to release new Queen material. (Please no quote replies of "it's not Queen anymore" etc., I'm literally just posting an interview)

For lack-of-time reasons, I don't tend to listen to too many interviews these days, but I am so glad I listened to this one.

"New material" in my understanding is something we haven't heard, haven't seen before, or have seen or heard in poor quality. If by "new material" they mean exactly new material, then I'll skip it.

Work on Queen I was underway approximately 14–16 months, on and off.Hopefully they don't repeat the formula of the first album's mix, which wasn't well received by everyone, and will do it right. |

"Right", of course, is subjective in this context. However they do it will appeal to some and not others. |

I prefer to be open minded. It could be really good, and any newly written material from Brian and Roger will be of interest. |

I can't see them releasing another box set that quickly. Surely they'll release something from the recent tours with AL at some point? Oh no god no, only not lambert again! only box sets only hardcore |

I'd be up for that, I also hope Brian releases the Albert Hall show from the tour after. It's crazy that they filmed it and did nothing with it. |

I would actually like to see the boys do a reimagined version of Hot Space. Drop the drum machines or update them. Some 80’s music dates really well with synths and drum machines, Hot Space sadly doesn’t. It feels really dated and it wasn’t even well received at the time. They really just missed the mark, and I do like the album. When I first got into Queen 30+ years ago I played Hot Space to death. I think there are good songs on there that are poorly executed/produced. Freddie’s vocals are great on that album. I would like to hear how Brian and Roger would have preferred it to sound. Maybe there are some decent raw takes that feature real drums, piano, base and guitar? I loved hearing Football Fight and The Kiss in their raw early states. Another cool idea I’ve thought about over the years is to let some other artists interpret the album. There’s an awesome live version of Staying Power by Extreme on YouTube as an example. This is of course up for debate as to how true it is - but there's many who were around the band at the time who said that both Roger and Brian were as enthusiastic about the recording as the Fred and Deaky. It's been said by those who worked with the band that they were the first two to play the demos in the Sugarshack and dance around to them. I do wonder if there's been a bit of history changing and that they both backed off and changed their official word once HS started getting a bad rap. Certainly they seem the two who are most protective about never wanting to be seen to do anything wrong. |

I was at the Leeds show, (One of the best shows I saw tbh) I thought Fred in particular was really trying to sell the new songs. He was bouncing all over the place for them. It was such a long time ago so I'd be lying if I said I remembered it perfectly, but I don't recall the new songs being treated any differently by the audience to any other 'new' songs from any new album. It was unfamiliarity rather than hatred. They sounded better live anyway. The album had only come out earlier the same month, so it was definitely unfamiliar. This was back in the days when the only way to hear an album track was to go and physically buy the album I will concede that when they played Save Me on the Crazy tour, when it had not yet been released, that was received better. But that was smaller more intimate shows. And Save Me was a good song with a live visual treat of Brian starting on the Piano and switching to guitar, Freddie closing on the piano. That was a real WOW moment on those shows. |

I was at Milton Keynes on the Hot Space tour if I recall they only played "Action This Day" which was far better than on the album , then "Staying Power" which Freddie tried really hard on but it was a bit of a quiet moment in the crowd . " Las Palabras De Amor " was I think a short version which went into "Love Of My Life ." I can still remember Freddie introducing "Back Chat" with an strange American twang " this is a song by John it's called " Back Chat, back chat, back chat." It was one of those moments which I have to say really didn't work at all , I think a few things were even thrown on the stage ,but I could be wrong. The other thing I remember was there was a lot of empty areas of the "Bowl" , I think it had around 50,000 there that day and it can hold a lot more than that. I thought the rest of the set was good , Brian looked very unhappy when his "Red Special" failed during his guitar solo. The lights were great I loved how they moved about and I was right at the front so got some great views of Freddie & Brian in action.

Going back to the subject of what might be released next , I really don't know as Queen's as it is of course "ANATO" 50th on the 28th November 2025 ,so you would think that this would be the big release of the year. But Queen's releases are just so random so it could be "ANATO" ,nothing or another random selection.
