The funniest thing is that this post was dormat for WEEKS. Then all of a sudden, I see replies on it! LMFAO!

Steve is the biggest asshole! Just look at him :D

LOL!

Not that it matters, but I found this quite funny: Here's a quote from an interview with Kansas' drummer, Phil Ehart:
[/QUOTE]"When things started going well, we started going into THEIR 
dressing room, and Freddie was always there. He was always very nice. Very 
friendly. Just a regular guy. He was just one of the guys. But the instant he 
stepped out of that dressing room, he was the star. He was in character. But 
that whole band was always very nice to us."[/QUOTE]

[/QUOTE]I love how 2 members of the same band have the exact opposite opinions of Freddie! LOL[/QUOTE]

Not that it matters, but that's not Steve Walsh.

I think that's David Ragsdale--Kansas' current violinist.

Funny thing is that I talked to Steve Walsh's ex-wife about this very thing not a month ago. She said when they were touring with Queen Freddy never hung out with Roger, John and Brian much in the dressing room and when all the band members (of both bands) and Kansas and their wives would hang out or go to dinner Freddie never went. She said Freddy didn't even treat Brian, Roger or John well either. So I don't know - we were not there and she was. And being Walsh's EX wife, I guess she's got no reason to lie.

Freddie was Freddie. Take it or leave it.

True. I would never have wanted to meet him for fear he'd do something to lessen my pleasure of hearing him sing. The less I know about artists the better.

Anyway, Freddie's ego was in fact matched by his talent

From what I've gathered over the years, Freddie didn't really have an 'ego' at all - more that he was uncomfortable around lots of people in private and not sure how to come across because people just expected him to live up to his stage persona.

When it came to the music, yes, he (and the rest of the band) were perfectionists, and rightly so in my opinion. Some people do however read that as having an ego, but that is a very different thing altogether.

I think Freddie was extremely fast to understand people and their intentions.And although its easy to imagine him in a effortless advantageous position he wasn't actualy.
He had to protect his sensibilities, his unique temperament and the side of a "real baby" he admited having inside the often vulgar scene of rock and roll.
So i am sure that if he sow danger he could switch fast to "off-limits' diva persona and discard all the bullshit from getting into him.
