Thanks for this new footage it's a great discovery and gives me a new favorite Freddie quote

It's from an unreleased 1995 DoRo documentary simply titled "The Freddie Mercury Video".

WOW! Thanks. Never seen this. What great charachters they were all!
Freddie " Honey, you 've been around " and " "Oh. yeah thats it Motherfuckes!" LOL...adorable

Can someone tell what Freddie sais on 0:38 " Its nice, its not easy but...?..."

Great insight into how much fun a day this must've been.

Well the person who is hoarding the documentary should release it so we can all see the other rarities...he's not the owner of the Doc anyways so he has no right to keep it to himself...what an ass.

Cut it out dude. Constantly attacking the uploader won't bring us any closer to getting the full product, if anything (s)he probably won't be as inclined to even put out any more snippets.

Why should we stay calm with people who are acting as if they were the rightful owners of a product but which they aren't. It's hoarding at its purest and I hate those who are inclined to act in a greedy way simply to have money for something that is rare. That is my point.

^ stay cool....maybe it`s part of a deal...we don`t know it ! A few collectors have it already, I know at least one QZ-user who owns a copy. We will have it sooner or later.

[/QUOTE] Listen, I understand your frustration and share some of that for sure, HOWEVER one thing the Fanthology fracas taught me a few years ago is that attacking the "hoarders" viciously and relentlessly is NOT the way to go if you want to see or hear their gems. The LAST thing you want to do is essentially have them take it to the grave with them, and in turn you probably don't want to be known as THAT fan who probably forever fucked us over. (Trancert and Q+PR Worchester video, anyone?) Give our anonymous so-called "hoarder" a chance, back off with the attacks, and just MAYBE you might see it sooner than you might think!

Although I'd very much like to see "The Freddie Mercury Video" and other hidden gems, I think the fact that we don't have them in itself adds to their mystique, and makes us look forward to something Queen related.

If every video/song were out, what would there be to look forward to? The fact that some things remain unavailable to most, makes them more interesting.

So what Freddie sais on 0:38?
" Its nice, its not easy but...?..."

ANYONE?

its not easy but we ad-lib :)

On a slightly side related issue, I am friends with someone who has talked at length with various friends/colleagues of Brian's, and he swears to me that Brian has given instructions that the Red Special should be buried with him when he 'goes'.

I have no way of knowing if this is true, (other than trusting the provenance of my friend's contacts), but I simply don't want to believe it; surely it would be either handed down to one of his kids, donated to a music museum, donated to Roger (if he's still alive), auctioned off for the MPT or animal welfare charities, or something similar, rather than just being buried 6 feet under??

Not 100% sure myself, but it could be: "...well we, we had it"
