He seems to dislike Jim Beach a lot...says that JB was mainly affected by Freddie's death in terms of making the best profit out of it >: Gee, surprise, surprise. I can't stand Jim Beach! I've been calling him "The Vulture" for a long time now cause he's always hovering. And hovering where he doesn't need to be. He may have done good things for Queen in the past, and obviously Rog & Bri still hold him in high esteem because he's still working for them, but I stopped trying to figure out why ages ago. JB has pissed me off more than once, but most especially when I attended the premiere of WWRY in Las Vegas. He doesn't give a damn about the fans and it is my opinion that he never has. He's a lawyer, he's in it for the money. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm being too harsh....naahhh

I don't blame you Eliza you don't really get anything for your money!! The mags would do it for me I think, but not for that money. I suppose Jacky can't lower the membership fee, because she needs this money to get the fan club going. It would just be nice to have some extra stuff for members only and the fee would be allright. In the german fanclub, you get special offers for the musical and a section on the site, wich is restricted to members with pictures, videos and stuff. It's not that extensive, but it gives you the feeling, that your membership makes you more than an average fan. We've also had the chance to get tickets for the recent tv-show in advance as well as priority booking for the past gigs. I don't see this happen with the official fanclub, as long as QOL has taken over most of that features. It's a shame!

A friend of mine took it during the WWRY Cologne premiere after party, just before the boys came on stage and Jim Beach running around yelling that no pictures were to be taken. And right, what does she do.... It got him even more mad ;D ;D

And right, what does she do.... It got him even more mad ;D ;D I remember that incident and how he threatened those people to be thrown out! He really was making a fool of himself back then. Serves him right! Oops, shouldn't say that, should I? ;D

There doesn't seem to be much that's exclusive on general offer. Apparently, if you approach Jacky, she will help out using her contacts. But I've the impression that the word 'official' means very little now.

At the end of the day regardless of what they do police over there It is still a public forum and you won't always find people posting positive statements about someone even if they are a fan - as we have seen recently with the whole Roger not saying anything incident!!

Mind you the german fan club is not even official! There is no official fanclub apart from Jacky's! It's a double shame if that one would stop existing. I think the only way to stop that slow decline is, to make Brian, Roger and Queen Productions know what the fans think!

I know that - I wasn't at all happy about the whole thing myself. I missed the welcome video but my initial reaction when I heard about Brian's location and the excuse for Roger's absence was that I was being treated like an idiot. But life's too short... I've long said that everyone is entitled to their opinion but it's the quantity of slagging off that goes on as well as the nature of it - as if people have nothing better to do with their time...

you weren't been taken for an idiot he wasn't well!!! (probably total denial ha ha) As for the fan club I completely agree but just to point out in case people didn't know this isn't Jacky's fault in anyway shape or form! She has less inforation given to her than we do she passes on everything she knows when she knows it but that is generally after we do! it's so sad! The policing thing I am a newbie over there so I have no idea how well it is policed or not and totally agree with Jen it doesn't matter you could watch 24 hours a day and someone would post something they shouldn't in the 1 min you go to the loo! ha ha I just think it is a really bad idea to slag off Jim when he kinda owns QOL! just really silly move is what I meant over here I am free!!.... Jim is a knob Jim is a knob la la la la!

But at the end of the day he should know how the fans feel and it's tough whether he likes it or not!! I agree with what someone else said that he's just in it for the money - so technically we have a lot of power over his interest and he should do things to make us happy aka support the fanclub
