  1. Zoroastrians' funeral rituals

    The truth is that Parsees in the UK are either buried or cremated, and that's simply that religions adapt to the culture that they're in, and the time they're in. Even Christianity did not allow cremation until relati...

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

    I agree that he definitely knew by the Magic Tour he was unwell, and he was probably aware as early as 1984, but most likely by Live Aid he had a fair idea. Just to clarify, I was responding to the claim that Freddie...

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

    Queen were on the verge of splitting up before Live Aid, and yes they'd improved their relationship by the Magic Tour, but Jim Beach was probably talking via the past experience. Remember, during that interview, the M...

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

    Actually I just watched the particular clip you're talking about and I didn't see this as a reference to Freddie's HIV status. In the 1980s, those massive acts such as Queen and The Stones in the UK were just reaching...

  5. Disappointed... again

    Honestly I don't think any of them care about the money. Perhaps the record company cares about the money and has asked them to release something? The widest catch is to put an album out as Q+AL because Adam's fans wi...

  6. "Common-law wife"

    The common-law wife quote certainly appears in either or both "Queen: The New Visual Documentary" (Ken Dean, Omnibus Press, England, 1992) or "Queen: These are the days of our lives The essential Queen Biography" (Ste...

  7. Drowse Lyrics

    Honestly I thought this was just a Bowie-esque stream of consciousness type song. Not too much meaning in the lyric. Yeah, easier lays is about getting laid.

  8. 1989 Tour according to Brian??

    There is actually a video on David R Fuller's youtube channel, and I think it's Brian on RockLine 1989 or something, and he talks quite a bit about the idea of going on tour. I think he was just deflecting, not giving...

  9. 1989 Tour according to Brian??

    Honestly I wouldn't read too much into the "If I'm still alive" comment. Maybe he was caught off guard and said something he really shouldn't have, but equally it could have been a flippant remark, although honestly w...

  10. The Game Review

    I think Freddie used to say things just to get people off his back. Saying a song is "throwaway pop" is easier than saying "this is about the struggles I've had reconciling my culture with my sexuality", or "this is a...

  11. Were the Wembley shows intended to be filmed like Montreal?

    I kind of buy the rehearsal story. They simply wanted to check that the cameras were at the best angle to capture the band. They'd have planned it out before hand of course, and they'd likely already know what worked...

  12. 1989 Tour according to Brian??

    That's kind of what I thought. Back in 1989 the public didn't know Freddie was ill, although retrospectively we can see the changes in him. Let's not forget that 1987-1988 was actually quite a big year for Freddie, re...

  13. Brian May's health

    Well, however long he gets I hope he can stay in good health for some time yet! It's very scary that he had no symptoms! Brian has been living as a virtual advert for healthy vegetarian lifestyle for at least 20 years...

  14. Were the Wembley shows intended to be filmed like Montreal?

    I'd thought the filming of the Friday show was a camera rehearsal for the Saturday show, but who knows? What I know is that the audio on the 2003 release and the 2006 release is very different to the audio on the 1992...

  15. 1989 Tour according to Brian??

    Yeah also the Brits 1990 he said the same thing. I think it was a combination wanting to appear normal, and a sense of hope that somehow it would all go away.

  16. Roger Interview 1993

    That's right, Roger and John did appear at something didn't they! I have read that in the past. Honestly for a Queen solo project and tour, Brian's Back To The Light was incredibly successful. Number 6 for the LP in t...

  17. 1989 Tour according to Brian??

    I mean honestly Freddie was probably not very well a couple of years before 1987, but that was the year he was told he had AIDS, yes. Chances are he knew he was positive before and didn't even tell Peter Freestone whi...

  18. 1989 Tour according to Brian??

    So in 1989, an article with Brian appeared in the Chicago Tribune, in which he reportedly said: “As for the future, we`re all very sad that our fans here couldn`t see the last few shows we took around the world, so we...

  19. Roger Taylor's voice

    Right, yes, Roger's voice has never been pop-friendly in the way that Freddie's was. Even Brian May's voice is more pop-friendly. Interestingly Brian's solo projects sound more like the popular Queen sound than Roger'...

  20. Roger Interview 1993

    Brian has said multiple times that he did not want to be in Queen after Freddie died. There are snippets here and there about them talking about the 'final recordings' or 'final album' as far back as 1992 - at some MT...
