Silly Question: What Kind of Beer did Freddie Drink on Stage?
"PIsswasser"? This is yet another place where the Queen universe and the GTA universe overlap. :-)

Freddie's last few years
@matt z Yes, I think it was the night after his death. Really rather quick for a tribute. But then we know most newspapers keep their obituary files up to date. As for Headlong, I thought (and still think) he looked p...

Freddie's last few years
It was broadcast on the Monday night - with the intro by a (very close to tears) Elton John.

Anita Dobson
Songs like LMIYHA make me wonder if Brian's first marriage was in trouble well before Anita came along (apparently in 1986).

Deacon Article
How much of this article is fiction? We're all treating it like Roger really said that, or Brian did. Well, maybe they did but I wouldn't trust the article much.

Freddie confirms Queen are not Queen if four members are not there
"Youse guys" or "y'all" if you please. :-)

QUEEN REVISITED
"Do Not Stop Me Now" doesn't have the urgency.

Doc Martens Fairy Fellers masterstroke boots
Take what Robert Rankin says with a pinch of salt. He wrote that stuff in a book in a category he calls "far-fetched fiction". :-)

Listening to AKOM again
@dysan Only "if I'm very slow". :-)

Listening to AKOM again
Right: FWBF could've turned out much worse, but indeed rescued by Brian's guitar work. I think they were going for "live singalong fodder" with that one. Hence the video. Shame there would only be one tour for that to...

Queen song to listen to on repeat while getting drunk after a breakup?
IAHL or TSMGO.

The Game was Queen's Greatest 80s Album?
BTW, SASS is not literally about a sister. It's clear in the subtitle.

43 years ago today at Rockfield...
And what's this "virgin" scrubbed out?

Brian May - Another Rant
So we have an American singing songs written by a British band... :-)

Listening to AKOM again
@Chopin1995 Right, but some degree of nervousness and tentativeness; I wonder if their attitude to arguments was muted at that point. And yes I get the point about Highlander. In fact that's my Point 3.

Which official releases do you expect for the coming autumn?
Why is Roger back to wearing sunglasses indoors?
