  1. Funniest Queen song?

    'It's a hard life' has a very funny video... 'I want to break free', also. Personally, I find the incongruity of their respective clothing funny in the 'Don't stop me now' video as well - New Romantic Drummer, Glam ro...

  2. Biggest mistake in their career?

    I can't really see, with the multi-millions they all made (and still make) and musical legacy they left, that there was any serious 'misfire' at all. It's all just part of the story. Had it not been for Sun City, for...

  3. Hardest Queen Song to Sing

    I love 'Another one bites the dust' as much as anyone, but it is the sound of a man shredding his vocal cords.

  4. Hardest Queen Song to Sing

    The studio 'Another one bites the dust' would be impossible to replicate, I think. Even Freddie baulked at it live.

  5. John Deacon in 2014/2015

    John was/is obviously very different to Brian and Roger. Being talented and popular didn't make him cut out for stardom. I think that what Freddie brought to the band was integral to John's tolerance levels for being...

  6. DEAR PATHETIC SICK TWISTED "Freddie & Aids" FREAKS

    The only point of interest for a fan really is in knowing when Freddie knew about his diagnosis, so you can look at some of the performances and think, 'Wow, that's incredible that he performed like that knowing he wa...

  7. What is your favourite Queen video?

  8. IS-supporters massacre staff of French satirical magazine

    It's devastating.

  9. Freddie's best album, vocally?

    Oscar J, if he started to lose control of the A4 live, the 'break' would have been a couple of notes below, believe it or not. When a tenor (or soprano in a different octave) moves between the upper-middle and high re...

  10. Freddie didn't change much from 1979-1987

    *partying* - not *praying*! Stupid auto-correct!

  11. Freddie didn't change much from 1979-1987

    Re: the HIV/AIDS thing that people are commenting on, if Freddie had died of cancer, would you be going back through old photographs, trying to spot the first signs of weight loss, hair loss due to chemotherapy, sayin...

  12. Queen, well a third of Queen were awful tonight.

    Was the point of the original post to say that Queen+AL are terrible, Brian May and Roger, Spike are washed out, or that 80s Queen is crap? I can see the link between the first two, but how is Queen+AL linked to a com...

  13. Brian May comments about Lambert/Freddie.

    I can't see what the problem is - I didn't get that Brian was saying Adam Lambert was better than Freddie Mercury at all in that quote. He was just talking in a friendly way about his vocal range. The chemistry of the...

  14. Mother Love outro

  15. Mother Love outro

    I may be biased because I don't like the song much. But was it written hurriedly at the time, or was it something Brian pulled out from the past? And would it be about death if it weren't for the Freddie link? I'm not...

  16. Was "S. Flavius Mercurius" the inspiration for "Freddie Mercury"?

    I also thought it was inspired by Melina Mercouri ('Melina' was also Freddie's pseudonym, of course), but I have no evidence whatsoever (other than 'I'm sure I read that somewhere'). Melina Mercouri won several awards...

  17. Mother Love outro

    I don't like it; it feels like someone is forcing us to associate the song with Freddie, rather than leaving it ambiguous and open to interpretation. It wasn't written by Freddie, and may not even have originally been...

  18. Freddie never seem to pay much attention to John on stage?

    I thought they all interacted with each other; perhaps John and Brian less so because of generally being on opposite sides of the stage, but Freddie seemed to interact with all the others, and John was quite often nea...

  19. Adam Lambert is gonna ruin Queen legacy??

    I don't think that anyone would confuse the two distinct "Queens" - the first one with Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, and the second with Just Brian and Roger and whoever else happened to play with them. The fact tha...

  20. The Miracle album: Criminally underrated?

    One of the things I like about Queen is how they walked the fine line between success and failure in their songs and videos... there were very few 'safe' offerings, either as singles or other album tracks. That does m...
