  1. Don't Stop Me Now but it stops

    What a moronic edit (no personal offence). "It stops"... seriously? You can definitely find something better to do with your time. And the ever-present bot posts all over this shithole are the cherry on the cake. Ever...

  2. Disappointed... again

    Terrible what this board's become. Totally beyond salvation.

  3. Jim Beach timeline question - when did he know about Freddie?

    We can't frame the chain of events related to Freddie and HIV in the 1980s within the context of today. As I said in my post above, in the mid-1980s the number of false positive from HIV tests was high. Freddie was pr...

  4. Jim Beach timeline question - when did he know about Freddie?

    I've said this a few times before here, and while I can make no claims of having any inside knowledge or of being definitely 100% correct, I think the below viewpoint is most likely true: Freddie "knew" he had HIV by...

  5. Freddie's struggle and depression

    We know he turned completely to his music which is what kept him going. All else is speculation.

  6. Freddie's languages

    Freddie was the type of immigrant who didn't care too much to be associated with his home country and wanted to fully integrate and be considered a native Brit, which he managed to do, and good for him.

  7. Freddie knew he had HIV in 1984?

    It says so on his death certificate. He died on bronchopneumonia, which in an AIDS victim is almost certainly pneumocystis pneumonia.

  8. Freddie knew he had HIV in 1984?

    The first HIV test became available in 1984, which is in all likelihood the year that Freddie took his first HIV test. He’d have taken it several times, because false positives and negatives were common at the time. S...

  9. Tony Pike Scoring Drugs for Freddie

    Tony Pike might have gotten the year wrong. He might have been thinking of 1987, during the time of the birthday party in Ibiza. For us Queen fans who are familiar with the timeline of major events, it might seem stra...

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

    To go from manager of Queen to "Entertainment Officer" for DIT Students Unions... wow.

  11. Bohemian Rhapsody Biopic No. 1 in many countries!

    I'm set to see this film on Friday. Main reason I'm seeing it is that I'm a Johnny Depp fan and want to see him with a Danny Brasco moustache again.

  12. Freddie Mercury circumcised or not

    What a load of utter fucking shite. Terrible, idiotic post.

  13. The last words of Kurt Cobain

    It's pretty well-known, as has been since the suicide, that Cobain mentioned Freddie is his suicide note. Not sure what the news point here is.

  14. Queen had never been a real rock band

    "Dumb ass female". Seriously? Do you realise how chauvinistic that sounds? Were you wearing a wife beater vest and sitting in a kitchen in a Sicilian village in 1927, having just "disciplined" your wife for serving yo...

  15. Aretha Franklin

    RIP Freddie speaking about Aretha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhmIB_LKCZ8

  16. That sinking feeling

    Phoebe definitely saw the most of Freddie, given that he said on a Channel 5 documentary, 'Freddie's Loves', that Freddie had a "massive cock". Although that much was evident just from seeing Fred in leotards, to be f...

  17. Spotify and monthly listeners

    Spotify is great. I remember using Napster back in the day and thinking that with free pirated songs on mp3, there was no way people would pay to download digital music. But iTunes began to change that, and then Spoti...

  18. Freddie knew he had HIV in 1984?

    "70s" not "70's". "70's" means "of the 70s". One of my pet peeves.

  19. Freddie knew he had HIV in 1984?

    It's probably best not to enter into moralistic considerations when it comes to mega rockstars in the 1970s and 80s. They were different times, different societal norms, etc. If we enter too deeply into Freddie Mercur...

  20. Freddie knew he had HIV in 1984?

    Look, HIV was discovered in 1983 (by French scientists) and 1984 (confirmed by US scientists) - that's when they found out that AIDS is caused by a virus. Before then, nobody knew for sure what was destroying AIDS pat...
