*These Are The Days Of Our Lives Video... What did you think?*

[b]Hi, Bo Rhap! [img=/images/smiley/msn/regular_smile.gif][/img] [/b][b]Oh no, I don't mind at all! I have great respect for any Queen fans such as yourself who are such long-term fans and who were lucky enough to see them live (I would have given anything to see them live, just for one show! Again, DAMN MY AGE!). It makes me [i]ache[/i] to think that I wasn't around in the 70's! [img=/images/smiley/msn/sad_smile.gif][/img] That's great that you saw them support Mott The Hoople as well, good band! [/b][b]So 'TATDOOL' was definitively a 'Goodbye' from Freddie, then. This makes it all the more sad for me! It still chokes me up, too. I want to know if he planned it to be released after his death, though. Makes sense, as there was certainly no hiding how ill he was by then. [img=/images/smiley/msn/sad_smile.gif][/img] [/b][/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

EnglanE.

My friend.I wish i could take you back in a tardis or something.I seem to say this to most Queen fans nowadays.

You would see Freddie in the way that i saw him.He is  still a hero to me and i'm nearly 50 years old.I saw that guy when i was 13.

By the way.I Love the rest of them as well.Brian,Roger and John as well.

first time I saw this video was when axle rose introduced it...Fred was still alive at this point..... that's when I knew the aids rumors were true.   I couldn't believe how sick he looked.  I remember reading freddie didn't want axle to do that show. He obviously wasn't a fan of the guy.  I'm not either.

sorry Mike but you're wrong about seeing this video before Freddie died. Axel introduced it on the MTV tribute show that was shown after Freddie died which was also after it had been shown on the BBC tribute. Off the point slightly but I remember that the fan club also lied about when the videos for the singles from innuendo were recorded, if anyone has the fan club mags from 2001 you can check that out. Also at the time, before Freddie died, there were very few photos of him looking really ill. The one I do remember is of him in a car wearing a powder blue jacket.

sorry about these blank posts, my pc is fucked.

I've only become a Queen fan in the last few months - yeah, I know, where've I been all this time !!!!??? - . The [b]first[/b] video
I saw of their's was These Are the Days......"   My first thought was, why's [b]that[/b] bloke singing and not Freddie?  It was a
full 2 minutes befor I realised it [b]was[/b] Freddie -  and I was really shocked. He looks like an anorexic teenager. Now, I can't
listen to the song or watch that video, it's just too sad.
AS regards "I'm Going Slightly Mad",  I find the pitch of the music very wierd - it sends a shiver down my spine, as if there's something nasty in the background. I like the song, but I have to be in the right mood to listen to it.  He looks 
very thin in this video too.

[b]Wow, that's interesting! I'm struggling to remember what the first Queen video was that I ever saw, as it would have been when I was a toddler! Hmm. *Peruses the tracklisting for 'Greatest Video Hits 2'* - I think it might have been 'I Want To Break Free', actually. It's so hard for me to think that I was only a bloody toddler when all these songs came out! I watch 'Live Aid' and 'Live at Wembley' and it breaks my heart to think that I wasn't there, even though I was alive (but only 3 or 4) at the time! Haha. [/b][b]
[/b][/QUOTE][b]It just feels so wrong that I wasn't any older, let alone old enough to go to any of their gigs! [img=/images/smiley/msn/sad_smile.gif][/img] [/b][/QUOTE]

If i remember way back then, i was surprised at Freddie's appearance during the brit awards but was shocked when I first saw the days of our lives video

The "rumours" were there by 1991 and the archive video for "Innuendo" fueled the suspect that they were true.
For me that "defining" moment was, when I saw the "Headlong" video.
I have seen several people dying from cancer before and the strange thing is, that they develop a certain "look" on their faces, that is hard to describe.
And in the "Headlong" video I saw that "look" on Freddie's face several times even though he tried to act as lively as he could. So for me that video was the "shocker".
"These are the days" was shown after his death and it's not a video I enjoy although I love the song and it's solo.  
I could imagine Queen having also mixed feelings about that video, as it was not to be found on the VHS Version of GH2. And it's not available on the DVDs to this day.

If that isn't arrogance, then I don't know what is.  The word is "alternate" version, not "better".

The extra keyboard parts are completely unnecessary and take away from the sentimentality of the song.

There's a reason why Queen have sold 200 million records and you've sold zero.

OMG, if you think YOUR version of TATDOOL is BETTER than Queen's, you're NUTS!
