  1. John and Freddie

    I'm quite certain that in Jim Hutton's book, he said that John and Freddie drifted apart towards the end of Freddie's life.

  2. Bo Rhap vs Prophet's Song

    The Prophet's Song is fantastic and is many ways superior to Bo Rhap, albeit a little less melodic. I'm sure Brian put much, much more effort into Good Company than The Prophet's Song.

  3. Headlong

    Do you guys remember that Freddie apparently had a wound on his calf (or somewhere else on his leg?) for quite some time before he died? As he was suffering from AIDS, his body couldn't heal it. I cannot remember whic...

  4. Last Verse of Mother Love

    I think if Freddie could have recorded the last verse he would have. He simply didn't feel strong enough on the day and unfortunately his condition only got worse. We've all heard the stories about him urging his band...

  5. John speaks!

    It's Freddie without a doubt.

  6. Roger and Brian now compared to the 80s

    Listen to Roger's drum fills on recent recordings of 'I'm In Love With My Car' compared to the way he used to play it. They used to be fast and furious. Now, not so much. Of course, this is probably comparing 1970s Ro...

  7. Did Queen lose the States, because they 'lost' Freddie?

    There's no denying that Freddie's hit song writing output did decline in the 80s, but we know he made substantial changes to AKOM among others. I have an interview disc which I haven't listened to in 10-15 years. It c...

  8. freddie Mercury's Crowning Studio Vocal

    I don't know anything about the actual notes or ranges, but in my opinion, Freddie's best ever vocal performance was recorded in 'Teo Torriatte'. This is best heard on the Japanese HD mix. His vocals sound glorious.

  9. Brian May on BBC

    Honey badger don't give a shit...

  10. John Deacons character...

    In Jim Hutton's book, he said that John withdrew (his friendship), from Freddie during his illness. I can't remember where I came across it, but I did read that John became depressed after Freddie died, (as did Brian...

  11. Songs that you wish Freddie could of sung live

    I would have loved to hear him sing I Want It All and Gimmie The Prize.

  12. A scandalous obsession.

    I think Scandal would have worked particlarly well live.

  13. Brian May photo with Chickenfoot's Michael Anthony

    Attached is a picture of Brian May with bassist Micheal Anthony, (formerly of Van Halen), after Chickenfoot's Manchester Academy show. If you're unfamiliar with Chickenfoot, check them out!

  14. Which name would you like BM and RT to call themselves?

    I can't take credit for thinking of this, because I read it on a Queen board years ago, but I was always partial to 'Taylor Mayed'. It occurs to me that the person who did coin that name may be among us now.

  15. Songs that sounded BETTER live

    Perhaps I am in the minority hre, but I always preferred Brian singing 39 over Freddie and wished he had sung it live so sooner. (The first time I heard him sing the song from start to finish without introducing band...

  16. Cold Chisel Remasters

    Wow, Davey Lane! Not sure if the non-Aussies would be too aware, but this guy has done some fairly known stuff over here. Just saying... :-)

  17. Cold Chisel Remasters

    Cold Chisel were/are a great Australian band and their re-releases put Queen's to shame. Apparently Midnight Oil are set to release a similar box set , (including all albums remastered plus more), in March. They're an...

  18. Terrible Page about the Tragic Life of Freddie Mercury

    Wow... I'm a bit lost for words about that. I think the site is very misguided. I'm a Christian and I agree that parts of what that author said about Christ being the only way to salvation. (The guy is not saying anyt...

  19. The Unblinking Eye (Everything Is Broken)

    Does anyone know when Roger's forthcoming album, apparently called 'The Unblinking Eye (Everything Is Broken)' is due to be released? I thought the title track was really good.

  20. Pink's version of Bohemian Rhapsody

    Not sure if this is old news or not, but watching that terrible recording of Beyonce's terrible rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody reminded me of Pink's version, which my wife has on DVD. I did a search and someone has po...
