I'm sure lots of people claim songs were about them, doesn't make it true. Killer Queen is quite obviously not about a record producer, nor are the two words in the title referring to separate people, that's just plain stupid.
eric hall actually appeared on an official Queen documentary and told the story of killer queen.
was on ch4.
was on ch4.
Eric Hall is talking a load of bullshit then.
I don't think other members of Queen would have let eric tell the story if it was not true
and on an official Queen dvd.
Freddie had lots of male lovers, and eric was one of them back in 1974.

It wasn't an official Queen DVD, it was The Story of Queen - Mercury Rising.
Plus the fact that, you know, the lyrics are quite obviously about something else.

"Days of our lives" which was televised and on dvd & blu ray.
It's not on that documentary.

Killer Queen is so obviously Freddie writing about himself, end of.
His battle with his sexuality is what led to his greatest work. As soon as he figured it out, his work started to tank.
And as always, the thing that makes you great is also your worst enemy.

Gezza, you do know what the " " mean don't you?
and while you're telling people they are "talking tosh" - try looking in the mirror:
1975 - First time that wasting symptoms are noted in Africa - these were later called AIDS.
Although completely unrelated - the self-same year Bo Rhap was released.
NB - you do realise that HIV is NOT a new illness? first transmitted to humans as a simian immunodeficiency virus in the VERY EARLY 1900s.
The first identified case of HIV was in a man who died in the African Congo in 1959!!!
Do you realise that HIV & AIDS are not the same thing?
Still can't believe someone is confused about the meaning of probably the most obviously apparent Queen song....
I see Furniture Village are using the song in their ads to sell sofas etc. Tasteful, Queen Productions, tasteful ...

Did you even read the post? There was no confusion, simply asking which of two possible interpretations of one line makes more sense and has more weight to it.

Which gap?
