Queen’s Disco era in the USA.

"Running out of ideas" is an interesting phrase: It's not like they walked into Queen with a stockpile of ideas, which is all they'd ever have.

As a creative person I know ideas come at odd moments, all the time. Well, maybe fitfully, but you get the idea.

I wouldn't even accept ideas come more slowly; Experience counters whatever youth brings.

Trouble is Queen were very British and the Americans could not understand the bands flamboyant nature, even when they dragged up for "I want to break Free"
so today i wonder what they think of an out Homosexual like Adam Lambert who is in your face style of performance with his tranny looks and over the top persona?

Well judging by the response they get I'd say it's more accepted now, I guess 30 odd years is a long time, things have thankfully moved on. They aren't fully there yet but there is a lot more tolerance.

The way AL goes on they will never be fully there, he is a complete joke and dresses like TV.

That's an onstage thing, the same as Freddie dressing in leotards, ballet shoes and that red sequined playsuit. He doesn't dress like that all the time and I've never seen a tranny wear the kind of things he does, even onstage.

I think it's great that we have Freddie's voice over different kind of music, and I think the funky music is pretty good, and sometimes I'm in that funky mood.

rockchic : one of Lamberts most ridiculous costumes has to be the silver tin foil suit with bulky silver stilletoe boots looking like Gary Glitter from 1973 !

Ha ha, Gary Glitter - knew it reminded me of something. Yeah not his best look I'll grant you. Can't help laugh though, he's said a few times he sees himself in a photo or onscreen and thinks "what the hell was I wearing". At least he can laugh at himself.

@MIKE

Yes, Radio Ga Ga is played. It's a regional thing!

Jake12 ..... everyone USA wise prefers 80's Queen. The obsessed Queen fans can't believe it!

Body Language #11
Under Pressure #29

ENOUGH SAID!

Ga Ga hasn't been played In New York In years...the only other 80's songs the radio plays these days is Another One Bites The Dust and Under Pressure...chart position doesn't tell the whole story. Body Language had a good chart position, but no one has heard of it except for the fans at that time.... After 1982 that song was never played again. Crazy little thing was a 70's song.

I hear Body Language sometimes but not as much as I should. Local rock radio isn’t as good as it was. We’ve got a local rock station and a local pop station that are sister stations. The pop station plays Radio Ga Ga.

Queen doesn’t help when they only promote certain things.

What’s really funny is Don’t Stop Me Now’s popularity
