  1. Innuendo - Robert Plant

    I recorded it as it happened on vhs,but when the official video was released,I usually watched that,so I haven't heard this performance of Innuendo in many years. Maybe I was caught up in the atmosphere of the event a...

  2. From Wembley Stadium to DIT Discos - Forum talks to Paul Prenter. 1987.

    Ratty claimed that Prenter had a party in Freddie's Stafford Terrace flat (in which he had been very kindly allowed to stay by Freddie), and the whole place got trashed. Freddie sacked him and Prenter vowed revenge- a...

  3. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' movie reviews & impressions

    I finally seen the movie for the first time tonight! Overall,I must admit I enjoyed it,although some of the innacuracies made me want to stand up and address the rest of the audience like a teacher addressing their cl...

  4. What is the most surprising Queen song you have heard on the radio?

    Just a few weeks ago, I walked into the local shopping centre (which normally pipes only well-known, classic pop through its PA) and I was surprised and indeed delighted to hear Death On Two Legs in all its glory.

  5. A possible setlist for a Queen tour 1989 - 1991?

    We know that during the "Works" tour, for "Break Free", Freddie would dress as he did in the video, complete with false boobs etc... So... If they had toured in 1991,and indeed performed "Slightly Mad" Live in concert...

  6. What if.....

    Brilliant, Holly2003! :-)

  7. What if.....

    I would have liked to have seen Freddie take up Michael Crawford's mantle, not only in the role of the Phantom in "Phantom Of The Opera", but also in the role of Frank Spencer in the revival of "Some Mothers Do Ave Em".

  8. Freddie Books

    It's basically the same yawn-fest that she repeated like a mantra, "Freddie and I were lovers blah blah blah", I agree that I always take anything said in the press with a pinch of salt, but for some reason I've alway...

  9. Freddie Books

    RadioDaDa, from the way in which he writes, I have get the impression that he conducted interviews with Valentin, Rhienhold Mack, and others. Sky was a tabloid hack who had a music column in a British paper, IIRC it w...

  10. Freddie Books

    I've always enjoyed Jims book, I bought it as soon as it was released in early 1995. Peter's book is another favourite, I like how he goes into detail about the tours, and gives insight into the recording of each albu...

  11. Meeting Freddie

    RadioDaDa , I think I've only seen clips of Prenter being interviewed, I believe from South America 1981. There must be more footage, although I have zero interest in listening to that weasel. What he did to Freddie w...

  12. Meeting Freddie

    The Breakthru video is my favourite. Summer 1989 was, for the UK, uncharacteristically hot and sunny, and this summer sunshine video transports me back to those happy days. Jrd1951, another reason for Queen's star fad...

  13. Band that you like better than Queen.

    Have to agree with the comments about the Manic Street Preachers. Fantastic band. I think they're very much underrated. I'm also rather fond of the Kaiser Chiefs, Oasis, The Verve, but of course no band was/is as grea...

  14. Meeting Freddie

    Yes, I've heard that as well. I think after Hot Space and the IWTBF video, Freddie's eyes were opened to how narrow minded some of the industry, and sadly some of the audience, could be in certain parts of the USA. So...

  15. Meeting Freddie

    Indeed. As much as I LOVE The Miracle album, with hindsight it's tinged with an uneasy quality because of what we now know Freddie was going through at the time. But at the time, despite the rumours, I saw the photos...

  16. Meeting Freddie

    I'm not much of a one for "what ifs" but just imagine if Roger had been there, and had been in the same "happy" frame of mind as Freddie and John, and Freddie asks you "would you like to hear some stuff off the new al...

  17. Meeting Freddie

    Yes that's the one. How incredibly lucky you were!! I have also heard and read other examples of individuals who were lucky enough to have met Freddie and they also say that he was indeed friendly,humble, welcoming an...

  18. Mastertapes Queen concert in QP Vault

    Unreleased 1977 concerts sitting gathering dust GRRRRRR!!!

  19. Meeting Freddie

    Wow jrd1951,that is fantastic! I have seen a photo of what I believe to be the meeting you were at. As for the sausage rolls, Peter Freestone mentions in his book that Freddie would bring to the studio an assortment o...

  20. Unpopular opinions related to the band

    I am could easily go without ever hearing Bo Rhap and Don't Stop Me Now again. Not that I dislike them, I've just heard them so many bloody times.
