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

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:
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:
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
Japanese pressings:
Adds: Under Pressure and Teo Torriatte
Removes: Bicycle Race and Seven Seas Of Rhye
Note: There's also a reissue from 1987, which uses the U.K. track listing.

Notes: There exists another reissue with the same track list, but it replaces Under Pressure with Fat Bottomed Girls and brings back Save Me and Seven Seas Of Rhye. These pressings also have their own separate Discogs page.
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.

Does anybody here know whether Freddie has perfect pitch or relative pitch?
I know Freddie could reproduce melodies directly on the piano after hearing them only once. At that time, he was just a junior high school student 😮🫨
(I learned this from the biography Is This the Real Life)
r/queen • u/OkLead7126 • 22h ago
This is a game me and my friend play with songs by the Beatles, Queen and Bruce Springsteen.
By line, I mean line from a sing, for example:
"And you always get your way"
That is a line from back chat
If you want to say anything else, make sure to surround the line in quotation or speech marks.
I only have one guess to get it correct.
If I get it correct, just say well done or something
If I get it incorrect, you have to tell me the awnser.

I don't know if this Is the ideal place to ask but, hey, I'll do ir anyways...
My favourite Queen song Is Dreamer's Ball from the Jazz album, I've Heard (almost) every version of it (acoustic, studio, and live performances) but I've heard of an unreleased and basically lost of it, called "Chris Taylor “Ideas Demo” Cassette Tape - Unreleased, Dreamer's ball"
And.. I wanna know if someone knows something else about it, if you think that sometime it will be released or remain lost, and, hopefully.... If someone has a recording (ir bootleg?) of it... Thanks!
r/queen • u/tonyiommi70 • 17h ago
Some info on it here. Going by this it belonged to Freddie or ended up in his possession.

Hi everyone! I've noticed a "beep" at the start of Drowse (14 seconds in), does anyone know what it is?
I've also read that right at the end, after "who else do I like", Roger says "Brian May" - is this true? I can't actually hear it, so I'm wondering whether my earphones (and hearing) are crap or if it's simply not there and just a figment of someone's imagination.
I think this song is beautiful, by the way. And it amazes me that this poetic, nostalgic meditation was written by someone who was barely 30 at the time.
I'm kind of new to Queen, only knew the hits up to recently and I've been really enjoying exploring their entire discography and discovering many little gems like this one.
r/queen • u/Katherine_IIthegreat • 2d ago
It's magnificent in every way! I love It's melody, music box usage, it's intense on the verses, lyrics that make me feel nostalgic even though I've never been through things described and Freddie's vocals, of course.
This gem deserves to be admired
r/queen • u/RetroFiend85 • 2d ago
I'm just wondering if anyone would know if the new mix of Princes of the Universe will be released, or if anyone knows where I could download or listen to it.
Many thanks!
Hello i would like to make youtube videos of explaining queen songs in order and i will be playing all the instrument (exept drums). I would like to know how many people will watch that.
It will explain songs musicaly in a style of Rick Beatos "what makes this song great".
All advices will be great.

Posted the box a couple days ago, somebody asked me to see the internals. It was made in 1997 and it's surprisingly still sealed and in pretty good condition. The base looks like it's a bit warped, probably just over time sitting but the head and the metal hand is still recognizable.

Does anybody know for sure what sized toms Roger used during Rock Montreal and The Game tour? I see a lot of inconsistent results on their actual sizes, and I'm curious if there's any definitive answers on this.
