  1. Queen Music Videos

    As a 14 year old back in 1986 the video for A Kind Of Magic blew me away. It looked very hi tech in its day and definitely helped get me hooked on the band. I thought Freddie looked fantastic as a wizard.

  2. How were you first introduced to Queen?

    Earliest definite exposure to Queen was watching the Flash Gordon movie on tv in the early 80s. I remember loving the theme tune but I never explored who tyhe band was. Then I remember hearing Body Language on a BBC d...

  3. What's Your Favorite Song(s) By Each Member Of Queen?

    Brian: Save Me, Hammer To Fall John: Spread Your Wings, I Want To Break Free Roger: A Kind Of Magic, One Vision Freddie: Somebody To Love

  4. 2 of Queen's most underrated songs

    Millionaire Waltz is exquisite. Second choice would be Body Language. This song gets ripped apart but I think part of the problem for folk with this song is the context. I first heard it in a documentary about sex in...

  5. When did Queen get their first big paycheck?

    We all know theat Queen were on a fairly modest wage before A Night At The Opera came out and that any money the band made was either ploughed back into tours and recording (or went to management!) So when did they fi...

  6. '39 Scene in BoRhap

    They'll wait for the standard DVD/Blu Ray to fly off the shelves then once we've all spent our money on that they'll announce a special extended/deluxe version with the missing scenes and we'll have to spend more mone...

  7. Bohemian Rhapsody 2.......

    Given the historical accuracy of the first movie I wouldn't be surprised if Freddie ends up being cured of Aids in the second. By Dr Brian May. ??

  8. Seriously? THESE are the champions?

    My biggest gripe with the movie is of course the bending of the truth to breaking point and beyond. But most people who went to see it wont have the same depth of knowledge as the folks on this forum so it won't be th...

  9. Mack vs David Richards

    I don't understand the love for The Miracle. The production is just awful by and large. Not the whole album but most of it is so synthetic and dated. A horrible 80's synth sound yet so much love for it on here.

  10. Ranking Songs-News Of The World

    1 Spread your wings 2 We are the champions 3 We will rock you 4 It's late 5 My melancholy blurs 6 Sleeping on the sidewalk 7 All dead all dead 8 Sheer heart attack 9 Who needs you

  11. NEW BOOK AVAILABLE NOW: Queen Touring America

    Just wanted to add my two cents on this book. Received it from Gary last week and I've been face deep in it ever since, it's wonderful - a genuine labour of love, and lots of interesting details and photos. Love it.....

  12. Spirit of Freddie Mercury "Talks" - YouTube....

    Wow. It was hard enough to get an interview with Freddie was alive yet somehow this guy with just a YouTube channel has managed it after his death. 742 thousand subscribers though. Just shows there's a lot of gullible...

  13. Fat Bottomed Girls in Bo Rhap film

    That "We Love You Cleveland" montage is a good example of the poor writing that plagued the movie. They must have said "We love you (insert city name here)" eight times or so. Rather than being fun or clever it just l...

  14. Freddie's last few years

    Yes I remember the video for TATDOOL coming out in the UK just days after Freddie died. It was quite a surprise. Make that a shock. I thought at the time that they had deliberately hld it back becuase Freddie was so u...

  16. Freddie's last few years

    The very first inkling I had that all was not well was seeing a Barcelona era promo photo of Freddie on his own wearing a blue suit with his arms folded. It was in the fan club magazine. And whilst he looked great I d...

  17. Complete Works (Purvis book)

    I loved the book - I have the 2007 edition and still flick through it more often than I'd care to admit.

  18. Complete Works (Purvis book)

    I wonder if there's much that's new in the updated version..

  19. Guessing Bohemian Rhapsody's home media extras

    Rami said in an interview that the Crazy Little Thing scene in the bath was filmed but didn't make the cut but that it would be made available at some point. So there's one extra surely. Plus a few more scenes I'd think.

  20. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' movie reviews & impressions

    First off and most importantly there is only one scene where Freddie is accurately referred to as Frederick Mercury - so Sebastian won't be happy! ;) I've seen the film reviewed as a "glorified Wikipedia entry" and I'...
