Tut tut tut, very uninformed post. JL lived and breathed the punk movement and if you were into music at that time you would easily recall how big and important the SP were in that era. He was sold out and exploited by management but still remains a very respected figure by critics and rightly so.[/QUOTE]
Are these the same critics who who treated Queen like shit? Why should we care about what they respected? NME made it look like punk was a big deal, but it was just a fad. [/QUOTE]
In retrospect it was just a fad but from 1977-1982ish it was a massive movement. I didn't live it personally but I can appreciate how important it was at at the time. It was political and cultural as much as it was about music and it gave a voice to a lot of disillusioned people. It offered something different.
Who cares about what NME said about Queen in the 70's? NME backtracked in the late 90's and now they hold Queen in very good regard.

The first part of this is completely and utterly irrelevant. The second part has absolutely nothing to do with any talent JL did or didn't have.[/QUOTE]
It's become clear to me that you are clinically retarded. Or maybe you are just illiterate. Either way, next time you see your mother punch her in the face for raising you so poorly and drinking heavily while she was pregnant.

You are the one not reading the posts and you're calling someone else illiterate? Not to mention the fact you're just being offensive.
What the hell is up with people not reading the posts and just going full retard? XD

Well now, you did name NME in your post regarding the punk movement and they were highly critical of Queen in the 70's, my sincere apologies if I did draw an incorrect conclusion from that..

I forgive you. Now apologize to mooghead as well, cuz that was uncalled for. :P

There was a thread about the interview a few years ago. Shame the video isn't available anymore.

Naw, sorry. He's a moron who seems incapable of rational thought. I doubt he's even a Queen fan. In 11 years and nearly 3500 posts he has contributed nothing positive or informative to this forum. It seems like at the toss of a coin he could have ended up on a Pet Shop Boys forum but sadly for us he ended up here.

Thanks, but I don't need others to stick up for me. The whole thing is just another tedious example of someone kicking off for not thinking the same as them. Resorting to insults on an internet message board actually brings out my sympathies for perpetrator.

Freddie only talked about Sid Vicious!!!
BRIAN MAY: "I had a few conversations with John Lydon, who was always very respectful. We talked about music".
Quoted from the book "Is this the real life".
NME was a shit. They were shit with Freddie (Is this a man a prat? was the headline), and was a shit with The Mission (they gave them a cover with the headline, the most estupid band from England). What do you expect from NME in the 70's and 80's?
And now, Mojo, Uncut, Classic Rock, all are good reviews for Queen by critics. Even in the 91 with Innuendo.

I still feel like calling that BV's rumour into question. Unless Mr Lydon was talking about an unreleased track, where would have Freddie invited him to sing? It would've only made sense for Fred to invite him to sing on one of his (Freddie's) own songs, which leaves us:
* Champions: Unlikely.
* Get Down, Make Love: Disproved by the multi's.
* My Melancholy Blues: Has no backing vocals.

I think Sheer Heart Attack would be the song. Only chorus, and Roger Taylor liked and still likes some punk bands like The Sex Pistols or The Clash.
You would have the leader of the musical revolution of the year in a song of your band. Match point.
