An interesting article about Queen's early bass players

and early days in general : http://www.popmatters.com/feature/137549-is-this-the-real-life-the-untold-story-of-queen/

thanks Peter, interesting read indeed ! ah, feel sorry for Doug :-)

That is interesting.........the general verdict seems to be that Queen wasnt really that good live in that time period...(70-71).......maybe John was the final piece to the puzzle :D

And I never heard of Build Your Own Boat as a possible name for the band! I think they made the right choice by not going with that one.......lol

I now have this book on request at my local library, sounds like an interesting read......

I have Mark Blake's book. Interesting.

Sounds like theres at least a few tidbits of info that werent revealed in that "Queen The Early Years" book!

Very interesting read. Thanks.

Thanks for the link.

Thoroughly researched. Great stuff. Lots of new tidbits.

‘So there was Freddie Mercury, a shop assistant, giving pop star David Bowie a pair of boots he couldn’t afford to buy.’

Hilarious.

Years later, on September the eleventh no less, Freddie and David would be mixing one of the most important singles of the decade while Bon Jovi was a few yards away from them, probably mopping the floor or unclogging the toilet.

lolol

Fantastic article! Thank you very much!

Cheers,

ha! - ken Testi's sister sitting on Freddie's knee learning to play noughts and crosses! - bet she's still drinking out on that one.
