1) Bono for Freddie & HIV

2) For those who haven't seen this one( when Freddie met Bono + Status Quo + UltraVox). Quite entertaining...

Have to say I was impressed with Bono for doing the recent promo, he actually seemed genuine in it. I don't feel like punching him anymore...

Yeah Bono had so much class at Live Aid when he stole the mic from Freddie to prevent him from singing...

The best maneuver he made that day was hiding from the press all day after promising them a live interview and then magically making himself available 2 minutes before Queen went on, you can hear Ga Ga been played during his recorded interview. Queen still went out on the Live broadcast despite his efforts.

Nice guys finish last as they say, and Bono never came in last in his life, he manages every small detail with the careful precision of a sociopath.

^ that's just not fair.

Live Aid had an incredible lineup of bands, many of whom were way more popular than Queen at the time and, in some cases, playing for the first time in years, and thus way more highly anticipated. 1985 was not exactly Queen's shining hour July 12 and earlier.

It's not Bono's fault that most of those bands sucked, leaving Queen, by comparison, as the best band of the day.

Live Aid could've been known as the day that both Zeppelin and Sabbath rocked the world again, but that's not exactly how it turned out...

Real wizard: Even if zepp and sabbath had played Live Aid, Queen would still have stolen the show hands down,
Freddie was magnificent on that day and no one could have stolen Freddies crown.

It is fair, because It's true, backed up by video evidence and comments from Bob Geldof re the difficulty the press had getting a hold of Bono, until Queen took to the stage. My comments are not performance related in any way, I am just pointing out the fact that Bono premeditated his actions and timed his interview to coincide with Queens performance thinking he would have the live feed.

There is a video somewhere of his interview and you can see how distracted he is as many journalists leave the room to watch Queen from the balcony.

[/QUOTE]that's such an unfair things to say. you have absolutely no idea what actually happened that day backstage - there could've been a thousand legitimate reasons why he was unavailable. it's your opinion and - without actual evidence from the horses mouth - you have absolutely no grounding for your conjecture.

Palming off comments like the above as truth only adds to the Gerriracyists theories on "everyone but Freddie being an arsehole". honestly fella, unless you know 100% that you have all the facts - you really shouldn't be saying this.

Brenski. The adults are talking. Shhhh!

Oscar you're being stupid - surely you know by now - Gezza knows everything. neither band appeared that day, there was also, no status quo, u2, the who, or any other bands...every fucker knows that ONLY queen appeared at live aid - they performed a 6½ hr set at wembley, then flew across to Philly - did a 3 hr set, flew back to wembley to close the set then flew back to philly to close there also - it was all done with lights, mirrors and clever editing - but no-one even those in the stadiums saw any other band, and didn't even notice any gaps in proceedings....and let's not forget that Queen also did the whole australian live aid before jetting to london...Gezza, we're forever in a debt to your knowledge oh wise king of Moronica.
