Freddie Mercury muses over the Queen anniversary he didn't live to see in l

A lost interview with Freddie Mercury, in which the late rock icon salutes the Rolling Stones on their 20th anniversary, has been unearthed for the new Queen On Fire: Live At The Bowl.

The singer, who died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1991, sat down with a German film crew in Munich in 1982 for the TV chat over a pint of beer and a cigarette - and mused about his own band's 20th anniversary, which he didn't live to see.

Mercury says, "It would be nice if people still buy our records (in 10 years' time)."

During the eight-minute interview, which features as an added extra on the DVD alongside a backstage chat with his bandmates Roger Taylor and Brian May before their landmark gig at the U.K.'s Milton Keynes Bowl on Queen's Hot Space Tour, Freddie also opens up about the temptation of becoming a diva rock star behind the scenes.

He says, "Egos can run wild. You have to keep one foot on the ground. It's easy to say, 'I'm a big rock star; I want everything.'"

In the lost interview, Mercury also talks about Queen's "visual theatrics" onstage and the state of the music industry in 1982.

Lost since it's last release

I didn't realize this was a lost interview. Luckily I found my DVD of Queen on Fire: Live at the Bowl, checked the disc, and saw that it was indeed not lost at all.

I also found the article misleading. To me, it seemed to imply that the interview was not in the 2004 DVD and had been added in the 2013 DVD. I just watched the 2013 DVD and found the same contents there.

I bought the 2013 DVD because my copy of the 2004 DVD was spoilt. This 2013 DVD is much clearer than the 2004 DVD and the sound seems more synchronized with the video.

unless there is some "bending of the space-time continuum, the title of this thread

Are you absolutely sure about the improved quality? Serious question, as it suggests QPL fiddled with the concert for the re-release.

Screencaps please?

I thought Freddie did live to see his own band's 20th anniversary (1971-1991).

Who writes this pish?

And why do they have to keep telling us that Freddie died of AIDS? Do they think we fucking missed it?
