  1. No Subject

    John Travolta doesn't have an Italian accent. That's just a New York accent, and not even his real one, just put on for many movies. Many many people wear black leather. I didn't hear the accent on Live Killers as Ita...

  2. Is Kashmira Bulsara Cooke Sexy??

    You shouldn't talk about people's mothers.

  3. New Queen

    They should start a new band with a different configuration. They should not be a quartet. I say more is more, so more people rather than a Police-like trio -- get a couple of singers, get a woman in there, more guita...

  4. Best Band Ever Final 16!!!!!!!

    The Rolling Stones Ac/Dc Red Hot Chilli Peppers Beach Boys Blondie U2 Metallica Bon Jovi

  5. Who Could Play Freddie Mercury in a Movie?

    I was kind of joking by mentioning Cher and crossgender casting, but there's no need to be so harsh about her. I think she's a good actress and a great performer, and she's got that charismatic star quality about her...

  6. Who Could Play Freddie Mercury in a Movie?

    Paddy Considine could play Jim Hutton. Also, I don't think we should get too hung up on perfect physical resemblances. We're talking about ACTORS after all; they can act it. Of course, we could do nontraditional casti...

  7. Who Could Play Freddie Mercury in a Movie?

    Those were great picture comparisons. I guess it's Johnny as Freddie then. I don't think the movie should show Freddie dying; he can look sick and die offscreen; way too depressing otherwise. The guy who played Hitler...

  8. Who Could Play Freddie Mercury in a Movie?

    What about one of the guys who already played him in that Messina play? That Amir whatshisname (I forget now) was good. I don't even see why the Will & Grace guy is recommended for this. We should be glad there's no m...

  9. Queen reborn in the US with WWRY?

    But doesn't DeNiro live in NYC, in Tribeca? So why the Vegas focus? If DeNiro really wanted, he could get it on Broadway. DeNiro is a mystery, though. As is, to me, the musical concept, which I will here confess sound...

  10. Queen reborn in the US with WWRY?

    It's a little weird that it's opening in Vegas. "New Las Vegas musical" doesn't have quite the cachet of "new Broadway musical." It was probably a little easier to put it together in Vegas, rather than deal with Broad...

  11. nice thread from another forum

    It's because "y" is the boy ending. Like Bobby. Tommy. Joey. Harry. Granted, not Eddie, but it works most of the time, so people default to it.

  12. Queen take over the record shop in commercial

    Have y'all seen/heard the use of "Under Pressure" as the theme to the upcoming American cable drama about firefighters, called Rescue Me? (It's on the FX channel.) The series has Denis Leary in it. I see the ad for it...

  13. Freddie's Journey..

    I agree with Lisser, not to be too Stepfordy. :) I read some earlier interviews where Freddie complained about negative critical reactions and bitched that reviewers were close-minded and didn't really understand all...

  14. Okay, who died?

    Isn't it also some important soccer-football weekend in Europe? Associated music, perhaps? --Egret

  15. Some scary shit

    But a lot of bands THEN were piss-takes and moneygrubbers too. There was never some historical moment when rock was "pure." Black Eyed Peas are good. Rappers don't all sound the same anymore than all reggae bands soun...

  16. Some scary shit

    Geeks, the child psychologist idea is interesting. I think they think he understands them. He's the understanding adult figure who suggests by his very existence that adulthood will be OK. So of course, for this, they...

  17. Some scary shit

    I kind of like the Freddie shrine. They're not really crazy; they're just praying. Propitiating the music gods. Offering up their vestal selves. Communing with the spirits. Seeking guidance from the ancestors. Kind of...

  18. New Bootleg Tree?

    I received the CDs -- thanks for sending them!

  19. Excerpt from Mercury and Me by Jim Hutton

    http://mr-mercury.co.uk/Weekend_Merc_and_Me.htm It's not a chapter; it's gossipy excerpts from the book. --Em

  20. Wannabe Freddie look-a-like performers..

    I haven't seen any of the impersonators, but I don't mind the concept of them. I used to think of impersonating and tribute bands as a pathetic activity -- why not have your own band and be original? But then I went t...
