  1. So Let Us Rewrite BoRap

    I thought you meant the song..... "Mama, just tilled the land..." (why was that the first thing to pop into my head?! I think the film was done with the best intent. Surely someone will write another, very different f...

  2. looking for Freddie Mercury interview

    I know the quote you mean and remember hearing him say it, but can I remember the interview...? Nope! Surely someone recalls, but if not, if it comes to me I shall return!

  3. Mary Austin and the rest of Queen

    Michael Allred wrote: Mary gets his royalties and such but she doesn't own a 1/4 stake in the band therefore gets no say in decision making. Thanks. That's what I'd assumed. But people in here implying she had some sa...

  4. Bad day?

    Well in case anyone doesn't know, https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt6wkOEh6MM/ The full thing is from Brian's instagram. "Tonight our very own Moon is ‘gibbous’ - meaning its phase - its illumination - is somewhere betwee...

  5. The Night Comes Down

    Beautifully expressed Stick . :) And I am glad The Night Comes Down can be part of such a moment for you Philip. It has a simple beauty, made almost ethereal with the purity of Freddie's voice back then and the mystic...

  6. Mary Austin and the rest of Queen

    http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1524211/band-was-jealous-of-mary-austin.aspx Can we just agree about a few things: 1) Freddie was in love with Jim Hutton and Jim brought peace to him in his final years of life. Freddi...

  7. Q & AL Will appear at Oscars

    Well lets hope they do that movie song from Highlander: Who wants to live. Adam can do that. But I guess Brian wants Hammer to all I guess. (Sometimes, if you can’t beat ‘em.... I am NOT proud *hangs head*)

  8. Queen's first album production

    Ziggy_SD wrote: Bobemian, here you go! https://youtu.be/bVCBfaTIm3g Let me know your thoughts! I LOVE this! Thanks for sharing - it sounds SO much better. I'm not the biggest fan of Now I'm Here (I mean, I like it, bu...

  9. Will Rami's non-singing performace lose him the Oscar?

    I just got a cold shiver imagining the film without Freddie's singing voice!

  10. Who was the most consistant member of the band in studio

    Iron Butterfly wrote: I think Freddie. For example, he had a lot of input for Radio GaGa and even changed it when Roger wasn't around. That's one example. I think this is a good example of what's really important here...

  11. Freddie Mercury live in Hog's Grunt Pub, Cricklewood, UK (with Taxi)

    8th January 1982 - Freddie Mercury made a guest appearance with Peter Straker’s Taxi, Hog's Grunt Pub, Cricklewood, UK - sang Jailhouse Rock. (From brianmay.com) OK, it must be out there somewhere though right. Everyo...

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

    Just a tiny comment, but I'm glad you had a happy chat with Phoebe, Lee and Thor and that he'll write an intro for your book. Regarding the film - I loved it and thought it was done in the best spirt which moved me as...

  13. What is your favourite Queen song outro?

    I love Teo Torriatte. I guess since it was already CDs when I discovered Queen it heightens the effect, since ever since I first heard Queen albums I'd often hear them on loop, since they were on CDs and would either...

  14. Racism on this Forum

    NPOWER wrote: So you all think my post was racist, well it was not ! i was merely explaining that the guy who was bad mouthing Freddie & Brian was probably black and had a problem. It is a given fact that many black p...

  15. Deadline Article w/ Brian & Roger

    I imagine we'll never know fully unless it is clarified in dvd interviews for example. Brian especially seems to have been on set a lot, but my impression is they were there to advise regarding the music most of all a...

  16. Racism on this Forum

    Fun Lovin Criminal has called me a community worker whose opinion they don't want to hear (while at the same time saying everyone should be allowed to voice any opinion. So apparently, opinions so extreme as that Mary...

  17. Racism on this Forum

    This forum is not the nicest place at the best of times. I would hope people might be generally courteous (or at least not intentionally rude and cruel) to each other, especially considering we are all of us here beca...

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

    Thor, I love how you always post with such kindness. Good luck with the imminent book-happenings. I had more to say than this, but I pressed reply & forgot what I meant to respond to, ooops. Oh dear: one of those days...

  20. Queen/Mercury book recommendation?

    It's a long time since I read it, but I enjoyed Queen: The Early Years by Mark Hodkinson. If you're interested in Queen in general, I found it really interesting to read how everything began for them all. People might...
