The Queen Web Guide (Revisited)
by Serry
This easy site was made especially for Queen fans
in 2005 who are just joined to the Queen Fans Community or who are too
much lazy to search for something what they need to know. The page wasn't
updated since December 2006, some sites are disappeared, some changed their URLs
and a lot of great new sites are missing here, but maybe some day one day... All you have to do is just to remember one simple rule: it's much easier to learn how to read than to ask someone read for you! I hope this guide will help you in some
way. Other
Queen stuff (articles, interviews, facts etc.) - by me and my pals (Updated September 16th
2005)
Main links' page was updated on January 9th 2009 (new links are below old ones, for what have been added or updated - take a look at 'Updates' section at the bottom of this page)
If you need to know anything about Queen/Solo concerts (where, when, what, has been recorded or hasn't, tickets' images, fan stories, who joined Queen on stage, some other little details etc.) check Martin's (a.k.a. Mr Scully) site:
http://www.queenconcerts.com/
If you want to know accurate and complete lyrics of any Queen/Solo
songs (including from live shows, officially released as audio or
video recordings - what Freddie said between songs, what woman says over the phone in the end of 'Dancer' etc.) check
Ian's or Andy Young pages. QueenWords is another good site with complete lyrics of all official Queen albums:

If you need in details of any released Queen/Solo albums, singles
in any format (LP, CD, 12", 7", VHS etc.) - you have to go
again to Andy's site to take a loot at his wonderful discography database.

previously named UltimateQueen and there's a lot of pages with different songs stats as well).
