Incidents during shows?.
November 14, 1978. Providence Civic Center. Freddie berates the lighting director from the stage because the lighting is not up to par. "These lights suck!" he says. Sad thing is is that the lighting director is my co...

Drum Questions
I think Roger used a double kick in the I Want It All video but I still can't figure out if he used it on the track itself. At least in the fast section of the song. I've been playing for 30 years and can't figure thi...

Tie Your Mother Down not really that great
This is a stupid topic. How can you guys think that Brian was thinking of only himself? I can't believe how some of the younger fans come up with these RETARDED notions in their heads. Why can't you ask more important...

Queen + Billy Squier = Whoa...
ALWAYS loved Billy and his music. Saw him in November of 82 when he was headlining. "Love is the Hero" with Freddie is one of my all-time favorite Squier songs. They both shine in that tune. And yes Arlene, the "Rock...

People who support the tour disgust me
Yeah, Fred passed away and Queen did at that time too... at least for me. BUT, those guys are musicians and want to work and tour again. SO leave them alone. You have a choice in this free world to listen or not liste...

Who would be a good boyfriend for Freddie?
Johnny Knoxville and his Red Special

FM - Peter Freestone
Both books to me were interesting insights of Freddies' personality at home and on the road.The posts before mine all made very valid points about too much info given here or too little there. For me though I really e...

Montreal Irony
ARE YOU NUTS?????????? Quinn is absolutely CORRECT!!! I saw them a mbout 3 weeks before this bootleg was recorded and they were kind of raw because is was early on in the tour. But this show and the ones in Chicago an...

LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU
Actually Roger is the one that says "Outragous Costumes." He "MAY" be the one that says "not many, not many" but in a lower voice.

Best drumsound
Ooh, tough one. For me it's Queen II and NOTW. Big, natural and open sounding. In the later years I'd have to say Innuendo.

Freddie's interaction with the audience
I saw them here in the States in 78 and 80. GREAT shows and Freddie was nothing but electrifying!!! But if want to see a master showman at work, watch Live Aid from 85 and watch what the man can do without the usual s...

does anyone read queen biography books?
I have most of the biographies in my collection. It's always great to read up on the band even if I've read them all a dozen times before. The first one I got was the one by Larry Pryce back in the late 70's and just...

if queen+pr are to make an album would you buy it?
Sure I would. It would be very interesting what kind of album they could produce together. Though I wish they would stop using the Queen name and come up with something else in it's place. I also agree with Serry. I'm...

was hot space album that bad?
Well, at the time it was released I was disappointed. Afterall, for the first several years up to that point we were used to rocking Queen albums and then in '82 they threw us a curve with Hot Space. Totally unexpecte...
