No, Fred joined 2 thirds of Smile and they auditioned Deacy and worked as a unit.
They nurtured what they had and it evolved into the hugely popular group. As they said - they were all equals. No component is greater than the sum of it's parts. How can you not see this?
I have quite particular tastes and this is my choice. I could never really get into the Stones, Oasis, etc etc but that's not to say that I state they are shit. Music sales and fans can confirm these facts....just that it's not something that I can like.
I'm heavily into flamenco so I doubt that most of my favourite players you have even heard of. I am also a massive Rush fan but lost interest after their 'Hold Your Fire' album. Doesn't mean to say I'm wrong or not loyal cause they are bigger than ever now. It's MY choice and preference. Many will not understand why I like my things, just in the same way that you just can't accept that Queen have taken AL to front them - so they can perform again cause they probably like to do so.
I'm sure your 'buddy' Wayne Sleep still keeps his hand in. Wasn't he on some show in the last few years that wasn't deemed 'proper ballet'?? Did the loyal snobs cast him out . No they didn't.
You need to seriously expand your blinkered way of thinking. It's a sign of maturity to have your view and just accept that it's just YOUR view and appreciate others' opinions vary from yours. Doesn't mean that you are correct or the 'yous are.
Move along..............

I agree with almost everything you said....I lost interest in Rush After Hold your Fire or Presto....And I understand Queen were a unit all contributed great things. Take one member away and Queen might not have made it...or sounded the same, it took all four members to make Queen what they were, but saying all that, they were not Equals....No way was John Deacon equal to Freddie mercury, that's pure ignorance. Watch any Documentray and it's all about Freddie's impact, Brian gets a good mention, while Roger hardly gets mentioned as a great drummer, but only how drunk he got and spent a night in Jail. John gets a mention occasionally...they were not equals. Queen's prime Freddie and Brian wrote all the impact songs...Roger and John wrote only 2 songs per album...In Roger's case only the occasional good song...The rest were filler like Loser in the end.....They were not Equals! Now watch Rush's Documentray Geddy and pert get equal praise and lifeson pretty close...They were equals.

By the way, I'm a fan of Roger And John...I'm not putting them down at all...Deaky wrote song great tunes, as Roger did.

Everyone on this site is a Freddie Mercury Fan, And I agree about Lambert, he's truly horrible singing Queen songs...He'll be good for broadway or something. But I'm only tempted too go seethem at the garden too see Brian and Roger for the last time...Even though I'll cringe at the sight of Lambert...I'll probably pass on this show in the end...

Mike G: I SAID ROGER AND JOHN WROTE 2 SONGS PER ALBUM BUT "BRENSKI" ON HERE WENT OFF HIS HEAD AT ME.
I ALSO POINTED OUT JUST LIKE YOU THAT JUST HAVING 2 MEMBERS TOURING IS LIKE HAVING A CAR WITH HALF AN ENGINE
ON THE ROAD, AND IT NOT QUEEN AT ALL, ITS JUST MAY AND TAYLOR FLOGGING A DEAD HORSE AND CALLING IT QUEEN.
WHY SETTLE FOR SECOND BEST??

Gerry.[b] YOU [/b]said [b]NO SUCH[/b] thing. I've re-pasted below what YOU actually typed - you [b]NEVER [/b]mentioned [b]JOHN[/b] - check again - and don't go editing your original post or your post above this - [b]YOU[/b] definitely [b][i]originally[/i][/b] said [b][i]"roger and bri"[/i][/b]

Freddie was not a one big hitter as you put it. Freddie wrote most of the bands work on albums, where roger and bri may have had 2 songs each and deacon did not appear until A night at the operas "Your my best friend". A disagree with you when you say Deacons "Another one bites the dust " sold more than "Bohemian Rhapsody" though as it considered the greatest song ever written in the history of popular music. Freddie went back to the rock/opera style with "All gods people" from innuendo. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [b]gerry wrote: [/b]Freddie wrote most of the bands work on albums, where roger and bri may have had 2 songs each and deacon did not appear until
[b]brENsKi wrote:[/b]never let "YOUR TRUTH" get in the way of the facts eh?
here's some genuine facts for you - up until the point where songs started getting co credited to "queen" rather than individual writers:
Freddie 50¼ songs Brian 46½ songs
certainly not the "2 an album" crap you spout is it? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
now, any chance at all now that [b]YOU[/b] might finally come back and admit to [b]EVERYONE[/b] that [b]YOU[/b] got it wrong - that [b]YOU[/b] didn't even [b]kNOW[/b] the difference between [b][i]what you thought[/i][/b] you'd typed and [b][i]what you actually typed[/i][/b]?
any chance? thought not.
PS - Deacon did appear BEFORE "you're my best friend" - thought you were a "back in the day original queen fan? then how did you elect to forget JD's SHA track "misfire" ???

Back to the heath issue. Brian looks and sounds fabulous and easily toured with Kerry. But 19 performances on this Q + AL tour is alot. I think he can do it but this upcoming tour may physically take alot out of him. He seems determined but hopefully will listen to his body. He performed the iHeart gig just after his operation and from viewing the vid, was obviously in pain. He is now stronger and better, hopefully enough for this challenging tour.

But I can tell you really mean it BECAUSE OF ALL THE SHOUTING.

Yes im shouting because your first post to me was rather un-pleasant to say the least.
Manners are free you know, try it some time.

You're a complete twat to just about everybody who interacts with you, and spend your time derailing every thread with whining bullshit. So no, you get what you deserve.
