Great answers! If I could add something, as far as the bands' influences, I think nobody mentioned The Beach Boys. On another note, at least Brian, Roger and Freddie seemed to be influenced by John Lennon, even though some already mentioned The Beatles and "Paul Lennon". :)
I would say at least Freddie and Brian had Elvis influences. Regarding Roger, I would add James Brown, Little Richard, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan.
Finally, Brian was also influenced by Buddy Holly and by The Kinks.
Cheers,

..and despite claiming to have watched many of the existing ones, still has inane questions.
I have a question.
How will OP's film differentiate itself from the aforesaid existing material? (Other than not having any actual Queen content due to lack of licensing).

Try google search for Peter Freestone; he is a great source of information -especially about Freddie from 79 onwards
He might even discuss directly with you; really nice guy

Ignore what everyone else has said about the band's influences. Paul Rogers and Free were Brian's childhood heroes, despite being Brian being OLDER than Paul and had already earned his DEGREE when Free released their first album. Still, he said they were his childhood heroes so it must be gospel.
Oh and Paul Rogers was Freddie's favourite singer.

You're missing an important point in your rush sling shit at Brian May.
The likes of Free, Bowie, Elton John, Roxy Music and many others they were loosely in the same age group as Queen but as professional musicians were several years ahead in terms of achievement on a career level, all had hits and successful albums before the first Queen album.
Queen as struggling musicians quite possibly were fans of these bands and looked up to them. Looking back from the present the early 70's were along time ago and Brian, looking back, probably remembers it being part of his life which was still very close to his childhood.
In the Bo Rhap documentary he refers to Queen in 1975 as "mere boys"!

Utter crap.
May calling Free 'childhood heroes' was no different to calling Paul Rogers 'Freddie's favourite singer'. Merely a way of selling them to Queen fans.

The utter crap is your blanket view and inability to see the bigger picture.
Free were playing the gig circuit during 1968, so Brian May's comments could well be true. And as I said before saying they were fans when they were kids, may have been a figure of speach but, wasn't too far off the mark.
The mere boys comment can't be disputed its what he said on film, the understanding of that can be viewed in different ways but to say its utter crap is a small minded view of the subject.

I'm not talking about your 'boys' comment as that has absolutely nothing to do with my original comment.
A child isn't someone in their early twenties - fact.
