  1. Queen at the beeb

    The Happy Go Lucky line, if it's anyone from Queen it's Freddie - although I can't for the life of me picture him doing a northern accent. Hilarious if it IS him. But might they not have had the engineer do it as a ga...

  2. The Famous Magic Tour photo

    I do have the DVD and have watched all the footage. But I wasn't studying it looking for one pose in particular. I just happened to be browsing the forum and something I saw made me wonder if anyone knew the answer. I...

  3. The Famous Magic Tour photo

    Well it was a mystery for me.

  4. The Famous Magic Tour photo

    Oh ya beauty! Yes that's it alright. Well, well the first night, eh? No wonder I couldn't find it. Thanks Chinwonder, great work - mystery solved. ????

  5. The Famous Magic Tour photo

    I've always wondered when exactly the famous Magic Tour photo of Freddie was taken. The one of him in his yellow drummer boy jacket with fist in the air which was used as the basis for the Montreux statue as seen on t...

  6. Early reviews of BoRhap movie are in

    I'm looking forward to the movie though I don't have high hopes. I'll just be pleased to see a version of the Queen story being put out there for a mass audience. I'm very impressed with the sheer amount of publicity...

  7. The five Queen albums you listen to least

    The Miracle - admit it, they were coasting with this one. Too many songs were below par and the production is terrible. Innuendo - has some great songs but the tone of Freddies voice was too thin at this point. Plus H...

  8. Bohemian Rhapsody - 2nd trailer

    Looks amazing. Really amazing but... Hot Space Freddie recording We Will Rock You?? I know this is aimed at casual and potential new fans but there's already quite a few pretty significant factual changed and that one...

  9. Dont stop me now - when did it become a huge hit?

    Seem to remember it popping up quite a few times on those endless reality singing shows, at least here in the UK. That and the Mcfly cover certainly brought it to the attention of milennials. And Glee. Ugh. That show...

  10. Flash TV Comercial

    Back in the day Brian claimed he wasn't sure about writing Driven By You for an advertising campaign because he felt advertising was a dirty word. Changed his tune now hasn't he? That "Another One Drives A Duster is h...

  11. Freddie knew he had HIV in 1984?

  12. Unpopular opinions related to the band

    Dull not full.

  13. Unpopular opinions related to the band

    Hot Space is a better album than The Miracle. The production on The Miracle is awful and the songs are mostly full. They were very clearly coasting on their first album after a year off. That said I actually like Scan...

  14. Thoughts on Thor Arnold and Lee Nolan's eleven year friendship with Freddie

    Hi guys, still lurking away in the background and wanted to send out some love and thanks for the continued stories. Despite some of the less welcome exchanges that have been clogging things up here from time to time....

  15. Thoughts on Thor Arnold and Lee Nolan's eleven year friendship with Freddie

    I love the idea of Freddie being too shy to approach someone in a club. It's just one more endearing thing about him. Mind you, as someone else pointed out here already there's nothing shy about walking up to Jim and...

  16. Freddie knew he had HIV in 1984?

    Freddie had put on a bit of a belly during the Works shows and certainly by 1985. Not far by any stretch of the imagination but pudgy enough for it to be noticeable. All gone by the time of Live Aid of course. Was thi...

  17. News Of The World 40th Anniversary Box Set - ITS OFFICIAL!

    On finally hearing Sleeping On The Sidewalk live I can see why it wasn't kept in the line up. It just didn't quite work but (to my ears at least) the reason seems obvious - it was in performed in completely the wrong...

  18. clarification of Thor Arnold's role in Freddie's life

    Hi Lee, great to have you on board - "welcome, welcome welcome" as John Oliver says at the start of every show. Nolan is an Irish name as far as I know, do you have a bit of Irish in you - asking as a proud paddy myse...

  19. clarification of Thor Arnold's role in Freddie's life

    I do so.e minor Doing from time to time and last Saturday night some guys in their twenties wete talking about the movie Ted and how much they loved the Flash Gordin theme. So naturally I jumped at the chance and play...

  20. clarification of Thor Arnold's role in Freddie's life

    I think the gag was that I was the one riding at the back - of Mike's tour group!
