Which Queen song did the band overlook as a potential single?
"In the Lap of the Gods... Revisited" It's Late Was it all Worth it. Don't try so hard

The Game or The Works?
The Game. What Alba says.

Live '89
Freddie knew he had AIDS in '87. By the time they finished recording the Miracle, the band knew. A Tour - or even a single show - was never an option. The "Everybody wants to tour except Freddie" was just a cover-up....

Which Songs Would You Have Picked For Queen's Live Aid Set? (6 songs)
David Bowie was there, Under Pressure with David would've been awesome.

Is Body Language really that bad?
Get down Make love....I really hate it. Freddie's first promiscuous song. The prequel to don't stop me now.

John uncomfortable at the Freddie Tribute
I remember watching the tribute concert and noticing John was more in the background than in previous tours with Freddie. Some songs went by without a show/close up of John, making you wonder if he was still on stage....

Queen's best songwriter
It was the mix of them all that made it special. 4 unique talents in one band. Today we learn on TV that music is a contest. That there always has to be a winner. Vote & Choose. Just enjoy the diversity in stead.

What if The Miracle was Queens last Album ?
"Similar memories here! I remember perfectly that summer in my holiday place by the mediterranean, just 13 years old, playing the Miracle in my walkman all day. Great memories. That´s why this album, with its highs an...

'Bohemian Rhapsody' movie reviews & impressions
After much hesitation I decided to have a go with it. Touching at some points, but too much fiction on many occasions. "Brian and John" were quite realistic in looks and behaviour. I found Roger out of key with his tr...

First reactions to the These Are The Days of Our Lives Video?
They sort of caved in in those last years. A few interviews, no performances, and questions were asked and the press were all over Freddie. Brian and Roger did a bit of publicity work and avoided awkward questions. Bu...

John Deacon on cover of Bass Guitar Magazine
I respect John's decisions, but I regret that he didn't do a proper farewell to his fans. A last interview, some sort of goodbye...he just faded away in '97 without an explanation and that was it.

BohRhap: "Can you go a bit higher?"
I think the movie will be hard to enjoy, with all the artistic freedom used to make it attractive for a larger audience. On the other hand - there are so many documentaries out there that are fact-based. This is a dif...

No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young)
I believe it was Brian's song. He decided to get Roger and John involved in stead of making it a solo effort. They also had a one-off live performance with Elton John ("Show must go on"). I think the guys had one more...

A possible setlist for a Queen tour 1989 - 1991?
Not a full setlist, but I would love to have seen a start with a taped "Party" and the band kicking in with Khashoggi's ship. WHO SAID THAT MY PARTY WAS ALL OVER? I want it all and breakthru and the Miracle would be h...

Freddie knew he had HIV in 1984?
As far as I know this has been discussed over and over. Freddie found out he had HIV/AIDS in 1987. Several sources confirmed this. In the years before 1987, he must have been very worried and uncertain about his futur...

Does anyone know what the next official Queen release will be?
2018: Queen+AL Live album, perhaps even a studio album (has to happen at some point, not sure if it will be any good) 2019: Miracle 30th anniversary pack. Could be interesting because of all the recordings made in '88...

What if.....
They might have split up. And rejoin years later on. Without John, that is. Think he was fed up with it all but Freddie's condition kept him on board till the end. Oh man, how we all miss him. Creative, funny, excelle...

Are Brian and James May (from Top Gear) brothers?
James is Brian, but with a different wig.
