  1. Brian's Depression

    Brian has always been a sensitive person. He's a Cancer just like me and "Wolverine" are. We're sensitive and moody people. Brian's son Jimmy has a website and in it he talks about his own bout with depression.

  2. Earls Court 1977

    I wasn't there but my cousin was. He was their lighting engineer for a few years and said that after those two gigs, the crown lighting rig that was used was so big that they had to cut it up just to get it out of the...

  3. Bohiemian Rhapsody Interpertations

    My interpretation? It's about Freddie coming to terms about his sexuality. Killing off Farouk Bulsara and finally becoming Freddie Mercury. It came to me while watching a live queen video and seeing him by himself at...

  4. The "Original" Bohemian Rhapsody

    I think it's just an exageration. Although there was a version that was cut down from the original that John Deacon did. I think I heard that only once in all the years I've been following the band.

  5. vocal harmonies until Jazz tour

    I agree. Roger was always "on" during the live shows. Brian would tend to go off a little. But then again, they really couldn't re-create what they did in the studio.

  6. OH GAWD - HOT SPACE.......

    I will admit though that even though the songs on HOT SPACE can cause some Queenzoners to spew venom because of the direction the band took at that time there is no denying that when they took those songs to the stage...

  7. Greatest Queen tour

    Well, my cousin Joe was their lighting director from the "Races" tour til the end of the Jazz tour in Japan of 79. I would have loved to see the NOTW tour simply because of the lighting rig itself. ButI saw them the f...

  8. OH GAWD - HOT SPACE.......

    Hi Flash, No I don't think Linda was being nasty at all BUT whenever the topic of Hot Space comes up people always groan about it and I read her comment and just got frustrated. I never wrote that I hated it but I was...

  9. John's bassound

    I've seen them twice. Once in 78 and again in 80 here in the States. He's always had, at least to me, one of the nicest sounds from his Fender Precision basses. They really added to the live sound and I always thought...

  10. OH GAWD - HOT SPACE.......

    Hey Linda, what the FUCK do you care what other people think about this album. You've only been a fan for a couple of years. I agree with stormtroopers. I remember it WELL when it first came out and I also tried my be...

  11. Brian's voice in Bohemian Rhapsody

    I don't think his voice is that low. It's more mid-range. And it's difficult to hear his voice on that track because they multi-layered it with so many vocals. Roger is VERY distinct with his high falsetto and Freddie...

  12. Hard-Rock Cafe memorabilia

    I don't know about the shrine in Washington DC but I DID snap two photos of a pair a Freddie's red leather pants from The Game tours. It was right next to Gene Simmon's bat costume from the Love Gun tour. I should fin...

  13. Freddies hairstyles

    While the band were recording the Game in Munich, Freddie was discovering the gay scene in the local club circuit and the hairstyle at the time was the norm in gay culture. In Peter Freestone's book there are a couple...

  14. Thunderbolt Courtesy of God

    I think that thunderclap was also used to open the Jazz tour shows.

  15. Are this signiatures authentical?

    I have two tour programs from the 70's that my cousin had autographed by the band when he toured with them and the John Deacon one looks authentic as does the "B" in Brians' name but their hard to see because of the b...

  16. Freddie Meets Sid

    I've always loved this story because at the time the punks were really knocking bands like Queen and Pink Floyd etc. So Freddie bumping into Sid was kind of like two worlds colliding. I've often read or heard through...

  17. Question about "Death On Two Legs"

    I think Freddies' tongue lashing of Norman Sheffield on Live Killers was from from a bootleg recorded in Barcelona Spain in February of 79. I was just listening to it the other day

  18. Meaning of "Flick of the Wrist"

    Don't knock masterbation... it's sex with someone you love.

  19. The Houston 1977 video

    Don't forget KISS Benn. They were filmed over two nights in September of 77 in Houston as well. Good shows.

  20. The Houston 1977 video

    What Benn is trying to say is that the footage his friend shot on that night from Brians' side of the stage was edited in later with the other camera angles from that night. THis would be interesting footage to see. M...
