  1. People on the same league as Freddie on piano

    Freddie didn't consider himself to be a great piano/keyboard player,which is why Mike Moran was used for his Barcelona album.He wrote a lot of his songs on it but although his skills were good he knew he was not in th...

  2. Two nights at Wembley '86

    I was present at both Wembley shows and thought they were both fine,with a great atmosphere on the Saturday show.The performances were deliberately slightly different and extra dates were considered(the demand was hal...

  3. Brian contradicting himself (regarding "POP IDOL" shows)?

    Interesting views...The appearance on American Idol was basically to get some exposure in the states during the tour (ie this is a proper group)and obviously Brian should know a thing or two about the industry Queen h...

  4. Barcelona

    It is a masterpiece! It is the album Freddie really wanted to do and took AGES to record.It is deliberately very different from Queen and can you imagine anyone else being able to sing with The Super Diva?The vocals a...

  5. Rude People...

    I don't know why you are all so emotional about what people think-Freddie didn't give a shit about what the'Little People'thought of him and lived his life the way he wanted to.He admired greatly hugely talented origi...

  6. Albums salary

    ...Which means about 300 million if you include The DVD sales and Videos.I don't work for EMI or anything but they had shifted 50 million albums by 1981 and 90 million by 1991.After that,it just exploded...which means...

  7. What do you think of the Larry Lurex tracks?

    I like them a lot!The musicianship is stong and the young Freddie has a great natural vocal.The release came just as the first Queen album was ready for the shops but if didn't sell so Gary Glitter had no fears about...

  8. Wembley versus Live at the Bowl: which is better?

    They are both great and AT LAST you get the whole show!I think Wembley just has the edge for the sense of occasion although the Hot Space songs sound fab in particular on Queen on fire.What we need now are other offic...

  9. Freddie Mercury Movie

    It would be fab! It woukd take a very brave person to play Freddie at any stage in his career,and can you imagine a Montserrat or even a Straker!I read somewhere that Eltons Rocket Films company was planning something...

  10. I know where Freddie is, and it aint no graveyard.

    I can't believe ANYONE could take this seriously-Freddie,IN a multi mart or whatever-I don't think so dear!

  11. Albums salary

    Sorry can't tell you exactly how many of each one but Queen have now sold well over 200 million albums about 40 million singles and something like 60 million videos and dvd's-And that is just the official ones.Greates...

  12. The miracle album

    I have a review of The Miracle in the Record Mirror May 1989-Queen are. quite probably,the best band in the world,ever! They have kept abreast of musical trends by constantly changing their style and coupling Freddie...

  13. The miracle album

    I like the Miracle a lot and Freddie in particular was very fond of it-his vocals were on fine form throughout.All these eighties Queen albums are more biased towards pop rather than targeting the more Rock based USA...

  14. mount smart stadium 13-04-1985

    What a Great site that Queen concerts thingy is!! Amazing-A credit to however put the effort in.Anyway,the Mount Smart concert was very good-bit of a different audience reaction and it is true that Freddie was totally...

  15. Queen II Appreciation

    you are obviously a proper Queen fan and fully appreciate what the band have been trying to do for years!! Nice post,I agree fully with you! Nice one regards Mr Beach (somewhere nice and hot)

  16. Queen II Appreciation

    It is a Great Album-Not my own favourite but the musicianship is superb and really made Queen a unique and special band who started to attract a fanatical following.The press at the time totally hated it with all sort...

  17. Freddie's last days

    It is from Queen Legends which is normally shown on Vh1 or Other Channels-Originally for the U.S.A -There is a UK version running about as well-Very sad,a good tribute-we now realise we lost one of the greatest and ch...

  18. question about One Vision...

    Queen used to play versions of the studio sessions to cool off and basically have some fun after the gruelling work! That is just one example of many 'alternative lyric' momemts especially for One Vision -you can see...

  19. Great Topic #1: i believe " Hot Space " album is the worst of all ( shit )

    Hot Space was meant to be a totally fresh album-a kind of funk direction if you like.The big problem was the reception in the U.s.A who were really expecting something similar to The Game which was such a huge hit ove...

  20. Nice question about Freddie

    Knew someone that met him in a restaurant circa 1989-said he was very nice and polite and went out of his way NOT to be recognised unlike the manufactured so called celebs of today who will NEVER come close to him for...
