  1. Made in Heaven V`s Made in Heaven 2

    TMLWKY was recorded for The Miracle but never released. We only know this because it subsequently found itself on Made in Heaven. There's nothing to say that with 13 studio albums to choose from (discounting MIH and a...

  2. Freddie Mercury biopic 'probably won't happen' (Peter Morgan via BBC)

    There's more to his personal life than being gay. Similarly there's more to being gay than occasional scenes of someone being bummed. The trauma, struggle and heartbreak of him failing to maintain a relationship throu...

  3. DoRo v Dave Mallet

    I don't think it's necessarily budget. To once more use the same two examples - how can I Want It All have a bigger budget than Scandal? Production values and budget aren't necessarily the same thing. You can give two...

  4. DoRo v Dave Mallet

    For me DM's video productions were far superior. He was able to bring a sense of epic and occasion to a video that DoRo were never able to employ. In contrast Queen videos with them seemed low-budget and largely incon...

  5. Lyrically, What Went Wrong For Freddie in the 80's?

    As they became more an 80s-mold rock band songs about love or pining for it didn't really fit.

  6. Freddie Mercury biopic 'probably won't happen' (Peter Morgan via BBC)

    Unless you're getting into personal life then what's the point of making a biographical movie? I'm sorry but 'man has successful singing career' doesn't constitute a 'plot'. It's like agreeing to make an album but the...

  7. Made in Heaven (single - Queen version)

    Looking it up it seems as if the title track from the 1995 album was never released as a single, at least in the UK. Listening to the album it's probably the most obviously 'commercial' record on it with the added bon...

  8. Queen Myths People Tend to Swallow

    When you dissect a post to respond almost line for line as you have it makes it very difficult to reply. I never understood why people feel the need to do this. As if others would be confused as to what they're speaki...

  9. Why the hate for Queen?

    The lack of GVH3 does irritate me some what as it's not as if it's a massive task or something that would even involve that much time. Yet it's been years and likely will never be released. It's just a bit lazy. Not a...

  10. Queen Myths People Tend to Swallow

    Brian produced a large part of the music to SSoR yet the song was still credited solely to Freddie as he was the lyricist. He also worked closely with Freddie on It's a Hard Life but, again, as Freddie was the chief l...

  11. Why the hate for Queen?

    Some people are too harsh

  12. Queen Myths People Tend to Swallow

    Also on Freddie's guitar - he probably wasn't as bad as his self-deprecating humour suggested but during live shows I was always under the impression the majority of the guitar work for CLTCL was picked up by Brian wi...

  13. Queen Myths People Tend to Swallow

    Roger did 'write' Innuendo in terms of being the chief lyricist. Under pre-1989 arrangements he almost certainly would have been credited as the sole song-writer. Similar to how he was AKOM despite the fact Freddie pl...

  14. When did Freddie get the HIV virus

    I susbscribe to the theory that Freddie had suspected or at least feared that he was sick for a long time before his diagnosis. I don't believe the test results in 1987 came as a surprise, as such. People often dismis...

  15. Queen Myths People Tend to Swallow

    I'm not sure it's a myth to say Freddie's writing tailed off. It certainly did from a commercial aspect. He went from producing prolific hit after hit to largely album filler. Unless you count the production work he d...

  16. SBC drops out of Freddie Film...

    But what is this movie going to be? What's the point of making 'The Freddie Mercury story' if all you're going to show is him at work? I don't get what the plot will be. It seems as if they want to make something as p...

  17. SBC drops out of Freddie Film...

    If the film it is to be a decent movie I don't understand how i can stop at the Magic tour as rumoured. Surely the most 'cinematic' element of Freddie's life his his up-bringing and battle with AIDS together with pers...

  18. SBC drops out of Freddie Film...

    We're more likely to see an album of John Deacon making an unexpected return the limelight with a cover album of Janis Joplin songs, than this. We still haven't got GVH3 for fuck sake. How hard can that be to produce?...

  19. New 'Archive live video release'

    The problem with the stuff which could be classified as 'pre-tash' is that it's quite difficult for it to be commercially appealing. Although many of Queen's biggest hits game in the 70s and their reach as a band was...

  20. Freddie's last recording - Mother Love or IGSM???

    It's possible Mother Love was the last thing he sang. It's also possible that it's merely the last lyrics he sang which would be completed into a final released track. He may have been in the studio recording other ra...
