Does Freddie Really Drop the N-Bomb Here?

I love fried chicken myself....I'm white....and if it was racist (which it wasn't) then all four members should be called racist, not Just freddie.  If the others were uneasy about the word "fried chicken" then the others should have said something.  Freddie wasn't the leader of the band, remember that?....he's just 1/4 of the band. Obviously the guy has issues with freddie, looking at every lryic the man writes.  Freddie was fucking evil!...lol. where's his white hood, lol. fucking people here are a joke!...Never mind me, i'm a angry motherfucker these days. especially dealing with assholes.

ROTFLMAO!

Seriously, it was a joke.  It's amazing how sarcasm gets lost in translation on the interweb and all.

My rant had more to with that idiot kd2hot than you, while you were obviously joking He was actually serious.

My reply wasn't directed at you, Mike.

I was generalizing, my dear.

You may continue.

I love fried chicken AND watermelon..:-D

to me theres no surprises to this topic

freddie does in fact say *N* word to this song, and it is documented that he was a bit ... in the way of prejudices shall we say wasn't the most brightly minded towards blacks.  it has something to do with his upbringing but in the end he was totally disrespectful of them and basically hated them all

its BIGGER

listen carefully

I agree with you.  He sang the word "bigger".

It says "nigger" on the lyric sheet that came with the vinyl.

both wrong & both retarded   'listen carefully' is no match to closer waveform analysis ....  besides to any fact it's just a long known fact (an "open secret" because in the business anyone knows it) that freddie would drop N bomb in that song

he did it specific because of the venue they were in and the situation, he thought he could get away to it - and he did obviously if you are fooled - it was his way of laughing at all of the ones who said "don't play in this place or you are racist", so he flaunts it

N.  not B it is an N, and you should all deal to it .

Are you guys totally joking? Of course he was NOT RACIST! And he is saying BIGGER, not the "N" word here.

One of his all time FAVORITE singers was Aretha Franklin for goodness sake!!!!

As far as being homphobic...If he was...then why would he have suggested the band name QUEEN? He sported the "gay clone moustache" look for years and years. Much to the dismay of fan here in the US because they identified....and still do for that matter....that "look" with being gay. I personally think he looked great. And to address the fact that he wasn't officially out of the closet...it was the 80's so there was much more discrimination than there is now.

Well I've loved a million women
In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
Brought to me on silver trays
Give me ev'rything I need
To feed my body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger
Maybe that can be my goal
I was told a million times
Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
And get better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Same as when I started

Also, Freddie was a big fan of Jimi Hendrix.

Plus one of Freddie's BEST FRIENDS was PETER STRAKER, an black man!

So now people are discussing what people will say about Zebonka uploads without Zebonka even starting it?  Man, this site has gone downhill/

i think you dont know the scenario you are discussing!!!!!

freddie did not use that N word to be in racist approval ... he did it to mock the many anti-Sun City complainers.  it is well known and a FACT he dropped the word in there to he assumed that it would get at least one of them upright

but recordings of the show being so scarce it has passed from consciensce but I assure you he had reasons one of them not being a real racist one....  freddie was a legend

My post pretty much hit the nail on the head. Why is it so hard to believe, let me break this down in a way that's simple. As previously stated, nigger was in the original lyric sheet, I don't know if that's true or not but I'll go with it. Two, he used nigger in another song "march of the black queen" so that ends all discussions about being shocked that the word came out of his mouth. Get over it, it was in his vocab and he showed he would use it in song. Now was he racist or just ignorant, I say insensitive (a kinder word for ignorant) right or wrong he probably didn't understand how words alone could hurt so much and knew in his heart he didn't hate so why would it matter what he said if he knew that. Take his version que sera sera (fuck off and die you fag). That's an insight on his sense of humor that you can apply to this situation. Instead of being jealous of me and branding me a know it all maybe some of you should open your minds and listen and if it doesn't logically work it doesn't logically work.
