  1. 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...

  2. Another One Bites The Dust (Rock Montreal Overdubs)

    From the first line I think you can tell there's two Freddie's on the track. It's not an echo (although it's probably intending to be one) but the two voices sing each line slightly differently to the other.

  3. Vanilla Ice Owns "Under Pressure"

    Maybe 'Vanilla' owns the rights to use it e.g not face future lawsuits based on continued promotion of Ice Ice Baby. I'd very much doubt he would own the song. I doubt whether an early 90s rap star with one hit song a...

  4. Why was '39 not played live after 1979?

  5. Mother Love?

    It's possible perhaps that the bulk of the song was recorded at one point but it took a few weeks longer to get pick-ups re-dos etc. Freddie's voice wasn't in great shape at that point. It might be the case that other...

  6. Fat Bottomed Girls

    Often during live shows Freddie was clearly just making a noise that sounded vaguely like the lyric. Such as Live @ Wembley DVD during Friends Will Be Friends 'Only a phone call a way, you tried to track him down but...

  7. Highlander Remake

    if there is a Highlander remake you'd doubt it'd want, as it's sound track, something that sounds it was from the 80s. I hate all this remaking of stuff anyway. New ideas?

  8. Was the group Queen a commercial band?

    In the early days they were a hybrid of bands overly obsessed with commercial success and artists who scoffed (or at least pretended to) their noses at trends. They stuck to their guns early on but were commercially s...

  10. Fat Bottomed Girls

    Misheard lyrics is one thing, miss pronounced lyrics is another. I swear during Spread Your Wings, Freddie sings... 'You've got no real ambition, you won't get wery far' wery as opposed to 'very'

  15. Live at Wembley camera edit

    Not saying more Freddie in terms of camera time but perhaps more 'fuller' Freddie e.g show him interacting with the audience for 20 seconds or so then cut away. Instead it's cutting away every few seconds and often to...

  16. Fredie Mercury, Michael Jackson and the llama incident.

    I have a hard time believing anyone in the music business wouldn't work with someone because of drugs. I know Michael Jackson was sheltered from reality but surely not THAT sheltered. The equivalent would be to say th...

  17. Barcelona re-release - What the @#8! did they do????

    It's not terrible. But my concern is I think the orchestra somewhat drowns out the vocals a bit

  18. Live at Wembley camera edit

    I know the DVD is older than the arc now but it always strikes me when watching it just how visually distracting it is and little really there is of Freddie. Of course there is a LOT of Freddie, but compared with othe...

  19. OMG freddie is gay?

    Bisexual is what gay people were in the 80s. I think he loved Mary but as a friend/sister rather than lover. I think the whole 'he isn't gay he was bisexual' thing is (usually) spouted by those who had an issue with h...

  20. Would Freddie have been fit enough to tour in 1989 ?

    In hindsight we're quite fortunate that we even got the Magic tour. Reading about it, it seems as if Freddie put off getting tested for a long, long time. If he had got tested earlier than he did there may not have be...
