How has lockdown affected your Queen consumption?

My sincere condolences about the Meat Loaf CD :-(

^ nowt wrong wi the 'Loaf Moog lol. Just wouldn't like it for all eternity, though

Has my consumption of Queen been affected? Yes, but in a positive way! I've recently gotten my turntable and amp working again, so I've been listening to a number of the albums on vinyl - namely Queen II, ANATO, NOTW and Innuendo. I've also given some of the Freddie solo albums a few spins.

Bob also played a number of acoustic live shows online recently, one of which was "Queen night". It was awesome throughout, but he played a really neat version of "She Makes Me" which completely sparked my interest in a song I always found to be drab. Now I'm addicted to SHA, when previously it was just "meh" for me. I know that doesn't conform with popular opinion, but I guess I'm seeing the light.

Since the lockdown I finally have the time to play my guitars and learn the keyboard, and catch up with other bands I've been meaning to listen. As for anything Queen-related, well I'm learning to remix one of the multitracks. It's a little on the rough and loud side of things, but I'll try to improve on that. Have you checked out Roger's drumming videos as well?

I go through phases of being obssessed with SHA then not listening to it for a year or 2. Leroy Brown blows my mind, the amount of work that went into that song is utterly incredible, RTB needs a shout out here for putting that stuff together.

It hasn't changed how much Queen I listen too. It has however given me more time to go through my vinyl and CD collections and pull out all sorts of stuff I haven't listened to in years.

I love Bring Back That Leroy Brown, that bassline especially. That was the most fun to play bassline I've played.

Never knew Bob did a couple of online shows. Where can I see 'em? Never seen him perform before.

It was on his Facebook page. Don't know if you have to be connected with him on FB to be able to see it, though. 

And why not eh?!

Noooooooooooo It's not that.
You'd think when you get to a point where your voice is totally fucked to the point where even autotune and having 3 or 4 ladies sing over you can't save it you'd know it was time stop.
It's "The very best" from 1998, So some dodgy covers (Like Boyzones No Matter What droning on and on and on) but mostly stuff from the 70's.

Locked with an almost 2-year old child doesn’t give me a break and I can hardly listen to any music these days, nor even play my guitar sadly, but at least I try watching Brian’s mini-concertos, which I find very enjoyable. Just watched his Get Back cover with Gary Barlow and thought that was great!

There's a brutal remix of 'Life is a lemon and I want my money back' on that disc

I know about the general difference between SACDs and Redbook CDs.

My question was more about the Queen catalogue, which don't have the 5.1 mix. I've heard the Queen SACDs sound too compressed, and aren't particularly popular with audiophiles, so when I read that someone is listening to them, I'd like to hear their perspective on why they're playing them. I've been mulling over buying a SACD player, but can't quite commit yet, especially because I've recently been buying MFSL, cp32 etc., which are considered to be better choices. 

Not sure how I'm coming across in this post, so I'll clarify that I'm just trying to find the best digital versions of Queen albums, so would like to know more about SACDs.

Do you have the 2011 remaster of Innuendo on a standard CD? Many people think the 2011 remaster was a big improvement over the 1991 release, so I'm wondering if you're hearing the difference between the masterings (2011 vs. 1991) or the format (SACD vs. CD).
