If you had the next 4 hours of your life...

.. with any Queen member (still living) and you could ask/say anything you want and get honest answers, who would it be and why?

I would ask Brian (or Roger, I don't really mind who):

-Tell me everything that happened regarding John Deacon - in respect to why exactly he refuse to have anything to do with Queen?

-Did Freddie record any other video footage after These Are The Days of Our Lives?

-Is there any other comprehensive video footage of live concerts which you have not yet released? Is any of it on 35mm film?

What he said!

I'd ask John if he's happy with his life, if he still plays music and if he still writes songs - and if yes, if he intends to do something with them.

Excellent question. We'd all like to know what's up with John, directly from the horse's mouth so to speak.

i want to know everything about unreleased stuff...filmed gigs/ Videos / Recording Sessions / Live Gigs... would be an obvious choice I guess

How close was Queen`s split in the mid 80`s ?

When was the point Freddie might start to point in the direction that time is running out for him...( I`am not talking about when he revealed that it is full blown AIDS to the Band in Montreux 87/88)

Are you aware of the fans online activities ? Do you use boards such as Queenzone ? And what do you think of it ?

Interesting question, if the answer points to anything pre-1986. But keep in mind that even in 1986, Brian and Roger themselves said that they only realised what Freddie was trying to say ("can't do this anymore", etc.) only with hindsight, years after he said it.

He was only explicit about his limited time after 1987/88, and we already know this.

I'd sit with Roger and ask him about authorship, recording timelines, who played what, who sang what and who produced what, and then resurrect my website.

John Deacon: "Why yes, I was known as Treasure Moment and I was announcing all my new music on Queenzone, but they were so mean I deleted it all."

To Freddie : I'd ask Freddie if he really recorded a cover of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Music of the Night (as stated by Georg Purvis in his book).

To John : I'd ask him when he is planning to release Man in the Shadows and if the album features any members of Queen.

To Brian and Roger : I'd ask them to focus on the archive material and to pressure Universal into releasing it and not some compilation.

<---?^^^??....


Wow. I never knew Sebastian was writing all this from prison. Did anybody else catch that photo?

Y' know. .. it kinda makes sense. In a "Birdman of Alcatraz" sort of way.


I'd ask John, that since he and the band are absolutely DEDICATED readers of Queenzone. .... why hasn't he contacted me about the bass guitar I've asked for repeatedly.

Then I'd ask him. (If he refused) well. ... what are YOU doing with it, honestly? .

Then ask again.

Then I'd ask him if he were going to write a comprehensive memoir about his life, insights, understandings etc.

Then I might ask him various questions about a bunch of his work. .... the unreleased stuff etc. His opinion on Lambert.

If he'll ever produce an artist in the future.

Then I'd ask him pointedly. ..."Who is the master? ???"


.... he'd of course know the answer and we'd bump fists and laugh it off.

"I would ask Brian (or Roger, I don't really mind who):

Why not just choose John and ask him directly.. as the initial question allows you to?!

Either one, but I would ask, what the hell was Freddie thinking when he wrote Body Language? that sounds like the soundtrack to a gay porno!

I would ask John everything. Fights, defects of the rest of the band, listen to the recordings he must have, why does he stopped participating in the band, his opinions about the new stuff, etc.

I would ask Spike about... oh no, wait...
