Comments at You Tube about Queen and Freddie

Also it's really rude to start this on Invisible Woman's thread about YOUTUBE comments. Make a new one about Renata's writing. It's easier than making new accounts amirite?

I just took a look at that blog and who ever writes it has imagination and courage. It takes courage to express anything and be creative. So much easier to be an 'asshole critic.' Critics are so busy watching and stalking everyone else they never do anything original themselves. Creators think and create stuff about people that inspire them. Freddie used to repeatedly draw Hendrix. Leave that blogger alone to create and look in the mirror, there's work to be done.

Sorry, Invisible Woman. I'll leave it there.

Sometimes I read comments at You Tube about Queen's and Freddie's music and Freddie's private life, but I don't comment ( exept two times about songs ). There are really some disgusting comments. Do you read these comments and do you comment?[/QUOTE]

I used to read and reply to some of the comments. It was awful at times. I no longer read it or reply.

LilMal and Delilah546, Oh henny! The irony! You took the time to make multiple QZ accounts, just to accuse someone of having multiple user accounts on OTHER unrelated social media. You just showed yourself up as a thirsty cyberstalker.

Your barely decipherable word salad has no relevance here because CaptainJory has never had beef with anyone on QZ, so what's the point? Four year old fanfics on someone's blog are inconsequential at best and do nothing to bolster your point (which is?). As SmokyQuartz said "Critics are so busy watching and stalking everyone else they never do anything original themselves. Creators think and create stuff about people that inspire them". People using their imagination are to be applauded, not creeped upon by gray panty wearers, jerking over their laptop screens. If we didn't have innovators and creators, there would be no Queen. Authors invent to entertain. So the author will be happy you discovered their blog and found their stories amusing; it will help with algorithms and sales, which is what authors rely on for publicity.

You do understand how **Fiction** works right?

In case you're struggling, just because JK Rowling wrote about a wizarding school, doesn't mean she thinks it really exists. Creating a screenplay about a charismatic serial killer doesn't mean you want tea, cucumber sandwiches and a whole lot more with the Yorkshire Ripper. Are you following? When Freddie wrote The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke, it doesn't mean he believed Richard Dadd's painting was real and Ogre Battle doesn't mean he believed in ogres. So when a writer obliges fanfiction requests about "straight Freddie", then it doesn't mean they actually believe he was into girls. Their Freddie-inspired novel kind of proves what they *really* believe. Decent authors don't let fantasy cloud realty and fantasy is healthy as long as you know it's just that. Besides, those blog posts are FOUR YEARS OLD.

Judging by the blog, they've now gone professional. Can you say you've had the patience and dedication to sit down and research Freddie's life and write a series of novels inspired by him? Probably not, because you're too busy trying to hunt authors down and expose them like they're some kind of pedophile. Oh and buddy, bringing the LGBT community and pro-gay activism into it has shown you up to be one of those fans who go into meltdown at the mere thought of Freddie being gay. It's so obvious.

When i was 10 i knew Freddie was so special, the way he moved on stage and how he sung those songs and then it got out Freddie was gay and i was overjoyed !
Just think if he had not been gay he would not have been so creative and special.
It is usually the gay stars who go the extra mile to put on a good show, well it was back then with Mercury, Bowie, T.Rex, etc.........

Yeah it's the camp outrageousness that I love about him the most. His inner sexuality struggle (while unfortunate for him to go through) must have provided the angst he needed to create good songs. Those campy, flamboyant songs helped to define (along with Brian's unique guitar sound and the band's harmonising) Queen's signature sound. I love that whole androgynous glam subculture and also the music hall influences that went with it. If these people didn't have that effeminacy, they wouldn't have created the things they did.

Yes absolutely, Freddie gave those songs, so much flamboyance and style and o one else would have thought of doing it that way back then. Bowie and Marc Bolan had there own flair but for me it was Freddie that stole the crown, i loved the way he done it all. On the other side of the coin you had bands like Sweet who pretended to be gay and outrageous but it never looked natural, you could see they were taking the mickey.

I watched this video about top 10 bad songs by good artists, and Staying Power was on there. It's not a bad song to be honest, so I commented, "Queen shouldn't be on a "worst" list." And then this guy replied to that comment saying, "Queen Fan 12 They certainly don't belong on this list. It's supposed to be the worst songs by GREAT artists, which Queen is not. Good, maybe, but not great. Very bland.?" And boy did I get mad.

fuck'em all

I really try not to. It kinda weirds me out seeing all the comments from people about Freddie talking like they actually knew him personally.

Although a few weeks ago I was casually glancing down at the comments for the "Another Bite the Dust" music video and someone said "The Trump administration should use this as their official song!" I actually found that amusing and it made me laugh on a Monday morning before work. :)

But...but...Ted Nugent is supposed to be providing all the Trump-misadministration's music. I mean, who else is going to pay for his crap? Even the NRA only want him so long as he leaves his guitar at home.

Also, "Highway To Hell" seems appropriate, but I fear the devil might sue over defamation...

I walked out of a free Ted Nugent concert once. That's how shit he is, musically and also as a human being.

You know what's embarrassing? I thought Ted Nugent is just a character from the Simpsons (that's where I know him from), actually parodying some other rock star, like Rainer Wolfcastle is a parody of 80's Arnold :-(
