Just watch at 5:14. I cannot believe what he said and freddie would be hurt if he heard that. Roger Taylor should be ashamed really...

Roger Taylor was so right. The direction Queen took in this period was terrible.

Just because he liked Freddie doesnt mean he must embrace the gay scene..Me, I love Freddie and the gay scene I dont care as long as u dont do u dirty things in front of me

The comment - if you listen to it carefully - is about Paul Prenter (and a mention of him thinking Brian's guitar sound old fashioned) - and the influence he had on Freddie. And, as Roger says "hence on the band".

I don't find it at all offensive. The "gay club" comment isn't actually anti gay. It's a musical comment. But then I'm straight so what do I know about things being offensive to the gay community. I do know that wasn't Roger's intent.

OK, I've been trolled... :-)

What did he say ? I don't have youtube access at work

He said that Paul Prenter tried to move Freddie (and the band) towards gay club music and he did not like that. Really homophobic of Roger that he wanted to play Rock music and not club music ;-)

Yes - Saying he wasn't keen on the music generally played in gay clubs, and would rather than play a different sort of music is SO homophobic isn't it?

Actually I think Freddie had enough of a "musical compass" not to be too influenced by Paul Prenter. Unless you count Hot Space as a counterexample. :-)

Personally I don't as I think at least 2 (and possibly all 4) of them were up for it (Hot Space, I mean).

In fact I think Roger overstates his aversion to Hot Space - with the benefit of 30 years of hindsight.

Body Language is a gay club song.

Roger is not Homophobic at all he was not into House Music. Freddie was into that Music and so was John. Sexuality has absolutely nothing to do with Music its Universal

 You haven't seen the Adam Lambert threads, have you?

He's not being homophobic, but saying he didn't like the music played at gayclubs really.

Someone is trying to troll the Queenzone forums with nonsense threads...
