  1. Electric Six

    The video was tacky as hell, but affectionately tacky. It didn't seem like it meant to be hurtful. Would have been better if they left his real name out of it and stuck to fooling around with the rock star image. --Egret

  2. Best Made In Heaven version.

    I like the Mr. Bad Guy version better. The Queen version is too bombastically morbid. IMO. --Egret

  3. queen: no critical credit

    These reasons did Queen enough harm to permanently damage their rock standing. 1. without doubt their biggest failing was "losing america" - the IWTBF video, only compunded the miscalculation that was Hot Space - whic...

  4. I'm A Man

    It's a blues song. You don't have to play it "properly" as long as it's bluesy. You're *supposed* to adapt it. ::ponders Freddie Mercury as bluesman, snickers:: --Egret

  5. Exercises in Free Love

    It's actually just the melody of Ensueno from the Barcelona album, which is much prettier. Whenever I hear EIFL, I think how he must have sometimes scared his cats making noises like that. --Egret

  6. Thank God it's Christmas

    I like the overemoting on Thank God It's Christmas. I feel like it kind of sends up all the marketing shrillness. I feel like it's a little bit tongue in cheek. Maybe I'm giving it too much credit. I'm always happy to...

  7. John Deacon, the only smart Queen

    Oh c'mon. Are you questioning Freddie Mercury's sincere and heartfelt dedication to disco music? He was disco way after disco was cool. Hot Space showed a real commitment to the genre. I can't believe you would ever t...

  8. John Deacon, the only smart Queen

    Y'know, probably even if Freddie had lived, and Queen with all four original members were lumbering around the world in between hip replacement surgeries, we would still think some things they did were uncool. It's no...

  9. Yellow Wembley outfit will be auctioned!

    I always thought Freddie gave him that stuff (jacket, collectible items) because he knew they'd be worth money at some point. I thought Freddie intended him to cash them in. I doubt he gave him the jacket so he could...

  10. Fat Bottomed Girls on Fire...

    And all this time we thought it was FM who was the control freak.

  11. Freddie Murcary, HIV/AIDS

    I'm posting this because, judging from some comments here, not all are equally well-informed. I know some people are just being tacky, but for those who honestly don't know, read on: ***************************** HIV...

  12. 'Love Kills' and 'Foolin' Around'

    I thought it was because "Love Kills" was so disco and they were trying to get away from that after the Hot Space experience. However, the projects were somewhat intertwined in that the Radio Ga Ga video ended up usin...

  13. (untitled)

    I always thought that weight gain looked like bloatedness from whatever medications he was on. Not a "fat and happy" look but a too pale, bloated look. Bless him. --Egret

  14. What kind of music would be Freddie doing if he was alive?

    Freddie would not *be* one of the Village People, he would be PRODUCING a series of Village People-esque performing groups, and those would simultaneously appear around the world doing a tastefully risque revue of dan...

  15. YOU ALL LOVE ME REALLY - I KNOW YOU'RE JUST PLAYING WITH ME!

    OMG, it's like the KISS Army! Or maybe not. LOL @ Agneepath -- good one! I went to a new restaurant with a bad name (Surreal Cafe) but great food (pilaf and salad and mushroom soup and chocolate mousse type thing and...

  16. Mr Bad Guy

    I like it, actually love it, for its mix of happy music and sad lyrics. It's great in a campy sort of way. I've chosen to believe that was an intentional quality. It's also really really great as background music for...

  17. Who died??

    It's that upbeat, nothing-wrong-here musical, giving the wrong impression. --Egret

  18. Should Delilah have been a B-side?

    I actually thought one of the reasons "Delilah" (which I happen to like) was on there is because Freddie had reached a point where he no longer had to care about an audience. Marketability had ceased to matter to him....

  19. Body Language

    I was listening to the Sheer Heart Attack album today, and that song "She Makes Me" (?) came on, and there was all that syncopated heavy breathing, and it reminded me of Body Language, even though it's a rock ballad i...

  20. Homophobic comments from Axl Rose and Sebastian Bach

    When we speak of Axl Rose's offensive lyrics or that other one's horrendous shirt, we're not speaking of a couple of insecure guys who had a few drinks too many and spoke their reptile minds. Who hasn't said something...
