  1. How were you first introduced to Queen?

    I learned the violin and piano as a child l & I'd get up at 5am to practise, then I'd lie in a dark room with earphones on & my reward to myself was to listen to the radio for an hour before I had to go to school. It...

  2. The song "Fun It" is severly underrated

    Inspired wrote: I thought Roger hated disco as he moaned at "Hot Space" ? I find it interesting that Roger hated Hot Space, because Fun It is definitely (in my opinion) the most Hot-Space-y pre-Hot Space track Queen d...

  3. Would Freddie have turned to the theatre if he had lived?

  4. Would Freddie have turned to the theatre if he had lived?

    I wonder if Freddie would have written an opera one day. Compare artists today such as Rufus Wainwright and Neil Hannon who have. Written a full opera, designed the costumes... maybe got someone to add some ballet in...

  5. Albums that weren't big at the time of release

    How successful was Queen II at the time, say in comparison to A Night at the Opera? If Queen II had been super-successful, do you think Queen may have stuck more closely to that kind of music? Just two questions I con...

  6. Cool Cat sample

    I'm curious.... how old is everyone here? Those under ..... let's say 40??? A reasonable age, I feel... Yet, an age where I doubt few if any of us knew (so are sadly unable to hold onto Live-Queen/knowing Queen when F...

  7. Badges I just found...

    I read "Badgers". I really have been looking at Brian's instagram for too long...

  8. Old script from the Bo Rhap movie dated 2015

    I assume if they'd done this, actual Brian (and a great deal more briefly, Roger) would have been in the film as themselves doing those scenes?! I don't think it would have gone down well myself done in this way, thou...

  9. Mercury and Me Jim Hutton

    I am in agreement that Freddie would not have wanted Jim to write the things he did in Mercury and Me. I feel pretty sure Freddie would have felt it a betrayal - not that Jim wrote a book, but that he revealed such in...

  11. Mary austin

    OK, if anyone wants to read the facts, Freddie's will is here: http://elblogdequeen.com/2006/03/testamento-de-freddie-mercury.html There is no mention of 50 years. As I understand it, he leaves: - House and all conten...

  12. Freddie's solo albums are actually quite good

    I LOVE Barcelona, especially the more recent orchestrated version. I wish Freddie could have heard it this way. Mr Bad Guy - I like it, but I wouldn't listen to it often. I'd say it was better than most of Queen's 80'...

  13. Team Deaky Project

    He's so sweet! Makes you smile to watch and listen. And also, quite clever to get a load of viewers to do part of his degree work, no?! ;D haha. I don't want my face on screen though thanks! Funny how Brian May posts...

  14. Yellow Breezes: Freddie Demo

    I'm as big a Freddie fan as anyone, but I'm not convinced *every* recording ought to have seen the light of day.....

  15. Lyrics that haven't aged well

    And yeah, I find the lyrics to Life is Real, just dire... but I don't think that has any relation to time/aging badly...?! Guilt stains on my pillow Blood on my terraces Torsos in my closet Shadows from my past .... B...

  16. Lyrics that haven't aged well

    Making it a bit lighter, I find "What's that machine noise? It's bytes and mega chips for tea. It's that machine, boys With random-access memory." ...hilarious! It has really dated... but not in a bad way. It's funny...

  17. RUMORVILLE: BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY Producer considering sequel

  18. RUMORVILLE: BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY Producer considering sequel

    It made so much money & surely gave everyone such an ego boost & it did end in 1985. People would watch it, so it is certaibly easy to conceive of it happening... Not sure if it winning awards help or hinder the idea...

  19. Misheard Lyrics

    There are loads for me. I'm not really a lyrics person (as in I always hear the music first and that's what matters most to me) so I am sure there are loads of Queen lyrics I know wrongly in my head even now. A boring...

  20. Thoughts on Thor Arnold and Lee Nolan's eleven year friendship with Freddie

    Hope you had a wonderful birthday celebration Thor and Lee (& actual birthdays) and thanks for the stories and the interview link. I only had chance to watch two or three minutes this morning, but I look forward to wa...
