  1. Freddie and touring

    I think there is a large grey area between what people know or can deduce from what they observe and, on the other hand, what they know because they have been officially informed. I think it's important to remember th...

  2. queen and drugs

    Hey, there are classy gay bed hopping drug users and then there are tacky ones. Let's not judge people. Arlene, of course Freddie's performance was his own. If the performance came from the drugs, then every junkie ou...

  3. When Did Queen First Let You Down ?

    Playing South Africa A Kind of Magic album some of the more recent things you mention didn't bother me because by then I had lowered my expectations. --Egret

  5. Rolling Stone and Freddie Mercury's death

    And while we're on the topic of Rolling Stone, they printed some really irresponsible information about AIDS back in the day as well. I mean, whacky pseudo-science that badly misinformed people. ::hates Rolling Stone,...

  6. Rolling Stone and Freddie Mercury's death

    I submitted it to the library in the "features" section. It was too long to post here in the boards. I don't have the pictures -- it's just text from a data service, not a scan. One picture description did say somethi...

  7. Rolling Stone and Freddie Mercury's death

    I just submitted the 3 page January 1992 Rolling Stone obituary to the library here -- it was too long to post. So if it goes through, you can read for yourselves. :) --Egret

  8. Article Scoffing Kurt Cobain for Feeling Inferior To Freddie Mercury

    You know, for a board that takes profound offense at any disrespect to the memory of Freddie Mercury, many people seem quick to speak ill of the dead who don't have defenders here.

  9. Where the hell can I buy Q/Mojo Queen Special Edition in the U.S.?

    I got one at St. Mark's Bookstore, in the East Village, in Manhattan. Several weeks ago, though. You might want to phone before trekking into the city.

  10. "Queen" In The 60's - Make Your Own Reference Disc

    I love this idea. Thanks for posting all the songs! --Egret

  11. HUGE Revelation BY Brian On Why Queen's Career Was Damaged In USA

    As I'm sure many Queenzoners did, I saw Queen in 1980, and yes, there was a bit of Freddie/audience conversation about the then-shocking moustache. But as I recall, Freddie was raising the topic as a sort of jokey rep...

  12. Q/Mojo Special Edition - Queen

    It was in St. Mark's Bookshop in New York City as of last week.

  13. HUGE Revelation BY Brian On Why Queen's Career Was Damaged In USA

    True, good points all. But I still don't buy that the whole American publicity machine was foiled by one rude manager. Unless those music industry people are more sensitive than I thought. Of course, Brian May is in a...

  14. HUGE Revelation BY Brian On Why Queen's Career Was Damaged In USA

    Culture Club appealed to a different demographic than Queen's hard rock stadium-filling fanbase. And even though Boy George is a GREAT, GREAT singer.... his American popularity was based on a handful of hit singles. H...

  15. HUGE Revelation BY Brian On Why Queen's Career Was Damaged In USA

    There is no doubt some truth in what Brian says, lots of exacerbated situations. All the same, I never read anything implying that Freddie Mercury was a featherheaded befuddled lamb deferring to his managers -- it alw...

  16. Guide for some Queen fans

    Sometimes when the experts here get into very detailed debates about obscurities, I wish you would put all this info into a Queen Wiki. I just put that out there as a formatting thought, to save all these links to thr...

  17. Queen Cover Versions:

    I second the interest in having a page for tracking cover versions. --Egret

  18. "Jesus" is actually pretty good

    The vocal's a little bit gospelly. Wasn't Godspell a big hit around then? It reminds me of that, too, as does Mad the swine. --Egret

  19. First Impressions on Queen.

    My first impression, in the mid-70s, was that they were so much better than KISS. --Egret

  20. Most Cheesiest Queen Song

    Love Of My Life wrote: I guess I'm just sentimental, falling for that falsetto. I hope that's not sentimental. That falsetto was one of my favorite things about them as a band. --Egret
