JOHN LYDON ABOUT QUEEN AND FREDDIE MERCURY

Nobody at any point in this thread has suggested that he did, and I don't think anybody (apart from you?) is even entertaining this idea.[/QUOTE]

Have a look:

He didn't todl me the song. I can imagine Sheer Heart Attack [/QUOTE]

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.[/QUOTE]

I think it's totally plausible that Lydon was invited to sing SHA. Even Champions (It has a massive chorus).[/QUOTE]

Two people suggesting and/or entertaining the idea that Rotten actually sang BV's on that album. Needless to say, I'm neither of those people.

Also, re the video of the 'recording' of WATC and MMB, weren't you a staunch proponent of the idea that it was a recreation, all for show, and that they can't have actually been recording anything? [/QUOTE]

I was and still am, but I'm fully aware I cannot possibly prove it either way, that's why I wrote, and I quote:

As for 'Champions', it could open another can of worms: is the recording footage authentic (as in, were they actually recording the song when they were filmed) or is it a recreation? If it's the former, then Rotten's clearly not there; the latter ... well, can of worms indeed.[/QUOTE]

I'm therefore considering both possibilities (either I'm wrong or I'm right about that alleged recording footage) and siggesting hypothesis of what that could mean regarding the idea (suggested by another poster) that Rotten might have been singing BV's on 'Champions.'

I'm not saying that he sang on it.

I'm saying that the possibility that he was invited to sing anything,
is totally plausible, and it should not be reduced to freddie's songs.

Let's remember this is the ONE album where Queen produced themselves (assisted by mike stone).

They may have been open to try anything.

Ozz has confirmed, as I suspected, that he was just entertaining the idead that Lydon was invited but didn't actually sing.

I'm pretty sure Darko is talking about the same thing in his comments. No doubt he'll clarify.

I think you've just misinterpreted what people have been saying Seb.

If so, then I happily stand corrected. No problem at all.

Edit: Finally heard the interview and yeah, it's clear he turned it down. It's sorted then.
