Was Freddie Mercury a fraud singer?
To be fair even on some of the later gigs (Cologne is the best late concert) his voice was still decent, I mean he nails songs at Cologne and Budapest, Frejus has some unreal versions (Bo Rhap is superb) Barcelona is...

Queen's heaviest song...
Another song that seems to have been totally overlooked IMO is We Will Rock You. I think its popularity has led people to overlook how heavy that song could sound. Its so simple but its very punchy, you've got that si...

Freddie knew he had HIV in 1984?
I wouldn't be at all if he dd have it in 1984. He also probably would have had an increasingly good idea that he had it, even if he did actually take the test a fair bit later than 84-85. If people you know and used t...

Was Freddie Mercury a fraud singer?
NEVER hit the notes... Someone should let this guy listen to the 79 Newcastle shows!! How about this version of 39 where he actually goes HIGHER than the recorded version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-LwCClVz8Y Ju...

Big announcement tonight
A tour of some sorts looks probable... I'd not be shocked to see Queen doing a combo of solo shows as well as shows as openers for Guns N Roses (well Axl Rose and co!) in late May like Brian did back in the early 90s....

New Wembley DVD opinions?
The first night is superb, its better then Budapest overall IMO... The ENERGY is what really makes thisn concert, yes the band sound great and Freddie's vocals are on the whole part very good (I'd say it has the edge...

TYMD is immense, SO much energy, esp in the first minute!

Track Listing for Deep Cuts 3
Good tracklist, would've liked to see Gimme the Prize but I suppose the Hitman covers the heavier aspects. VERY glad to see Mother Love, Don't Try so Hard and Bijou in there, all three are wonderful songs that portray...

The "Official" Top Ten Queen Gigs List
Hmmm BA over Sao Paulo? Not sure about that to be honest, great crowd and the gig itself is almost certainly a top 15 gig but SP performances were amazing and the crowd weren't exactly lame there either! I'd go 2nd ni...

The "Official" Top Ten Queen Gigs List
Whilst it may not be a classic Queen gig, I think its very hard to ignore Live Aid performance. It would surely be big enough to deserve a top ten place, Queen performed to by FAR the biggest ever crowd globally they...

Foo Fighters covered Tie Your Mother Down at the weekend
The funny thing is about that youtube link someone posted earlier, the improv that was done before WWRY/TYMD even had a similar tone/raspy quality to Freddie's in say 85 and his later 86 shows when his voice was a lit...

Royal Albert Hall "Anthems"
I was there at the 4pm show. I wasn't too sure what to expect from it really, any oppertunity to see Brian May is worth it, but I weren't sure about the whole idea of the concert...the crowd was respectable but it was...

What Is Freddie Mercury's Greatest Live Vocal Performance?
Hmmm a tough one!! Liar from Newcastle 1979 is immense... Somebody to love from Sao Paulo (amazing imrpvo opening, pretty much all the high notes, multiple C5's at the end) WATC from Live Aid--- I mean he gets the C5...

Freddie's Voice Differences between 1984-1986 (live).
The big difference vocally seems to have been between the Australia shows and the Japan shows. For whatever reason it seemed like his voice just totally cleared out, the tonal differences between those shows is unreal...

Favorite guitar solo of Brian's?
At ,least with Hyde park 76 there was some variation, and as I said the first part of his BR solo was probably about as quick as Brian would play on his own solo part. Obviously with Brian it was his use of delay that...
-
Favorite guitar solo of Brian's?
Live at Wembley is superb, I think for atmosphere and everything its up there for sure! The only problem with it is its very fractured, esp in the first half, and its a little 'samey' perhaps at times. Still a great p...

Brussels 1986 (The A- Source)
Ah gosh any Crazy Tour show would be amazing. Imagine if we all pooled together some money in an attempt to get say either a better quality/or another concert from that tour... Of course it all depends on whether Greg...

What is the best live version of Another One Bites The Dust (Debate Topic)
It is very agressive, then again Freddie sang it in a very similar way in Vienna 82 as well...so who knows! As for my fav, man thats a tough call, numerous 86 versions could win it, I love the first Vienna show. Howev...

I do hear the G, thats fairly obvious... However I still don't think you could rule it out him getting that High C JUST because he goes down to G4...who's to say the guy didn't simply miss the A4 and hit a slightly lo...
