Bohemian Rhapsody - 2nd trailer

i read somewhere once, that he didnt like curly hair as all the guitar heroes had long straight hair - jimmy page etc... so straightened it.

I think it's just wrong to put WWRY made during hot space era. Major butthurt for me.

I've just noticed that Brian's hair isn't curly in the Smile scene. It looks more like a John Deacon hairstyle. I'm going to pretend that this confirms the conspiracy theory that Brian's trademark hair has been naturally straight, all along.[/QUOTE]

The conspiracy is confirmed! (Or he just straightened it, like everyone else said.)

ive had a' beef' with the official story for a while i.e Queen were a spent force before Live Aid. Queen were massive in 84. it was the year i got into Queen [aged 12] and lots and lots of people in school with me at the time loved Queen then. radio ga ga saved Queen's career in my opinion not live aid. they played two of the songs from 84 at live aid for goodness sake and it was their biggest songs played at live aid. They were regularly being featured in the press and on tv in 84 and had four hit singles and a hit album. i call the official narrative nonsense

plus, a few of gigs before live aid they played to 250 000 people in Rio

Everything points towards Maylor biggibg themselves up and make Freddie less important. Sad. Still got the feeling that SBCwas right in some ways. They really might have considered to let Freddie die in the middle of the Movie and then Show their Queen plus drivel. This might have got scrapped and now they try to sell "the big Queen reunion in 1985 after Freddies huge Mr Bad Guy flop". Utter garbage and another sign that Maylor lost the plot....

Yeah, you hate Queen+ projects. It took a while for us to get that, but after the millionth thread you spammed on the QAL section of the forum it started to become clear to all of us.

SBC said absolutely nothing about them killing off Freddie or trying to make him look less important. There's hardly any evidence of that in the trailers either. SBC actually complained about Brian's wishes to make a more family oriented film, while he feels it's difficult to make a true Freddie biopic like that. Rephrasing that, we could pretty much assume they want to paint Freddie as some sort of perfect hero while SBC wanted to explore the wild, drug abusing horny beast side of Freddie.

You're insulting Maylor in advance for something you ASSUME they've done with the film before even watching it. How about you wait some 3 months, watch it, and then, if they really did turn Freddie into some sort of supporting role for the big Smile guys you come back here and bash them for it?

I agree Raf.....watch the movie first before you bash it. I think it could be a hit. I also never agreed that live Aid saved their career. It was obvious Ga Ga was already a big hit, as was The Works album.

Yeah, Live Aid didn't save their careers. They were doing more than fine.

However, I believe one of the band members mentioned Live Aid felt like a shot in the arm that reinvigorated them and got them wanting to record again.

Eventhough they had had a break before The Works I suspect there still were tensions in the band and that plus the extenuating touring they did for that album, including the Sun City controversy, just left them beat. Maybe they would have taken yet another break after that if they hadn't played Live Aid? One can only speculate.

Raf do your homework before you post your drivel on hear you sad twat. SBC clearly stated that Maylor were planning to let Freddie die in the midst of the movie whiel "going from strength to strength": Check the Howard Stern interview. If this is true remains to be seen but I have the feeling that there once were loose ideas for exactly that plan before the final script was written.
And those "mistakes" with the songs: "FBG" in 1974? '39 on the first tour???No coincidence that these are Brian May songs. He still is a two faced character who more than once was jealous of Freddie.

Sacha did say that but who in their right mind would believe him, he'd been dropped from a movie he'd spent six years putting work into, sour grapes is my theory. Listen to the interview, the way he words it makes it impossible to believe him, it just sounds utterly ridiculous. http://youtu.be/xq-M4JA3fIU

he would not state it if it was utter bollocks. I would like to know what he thinks about it now

Why wouldn't he, it's his word against theirs, can't prove it either way so he's nothing to lose. I daresay he'll get asked what he thinks once the movie's released, I guess we'll find out.

The thing is it does fit with what we know about Dr. May and his rewriting history.
While I don't think it would be half way through the movie, I can totally imagine Brian pushing for a good 15 - 20 minutes devoted to him leading the Queen + projects.

I suspect adding more Brian songs to the early years wasn't accidental either, he's got to make sure he gets those royalty cheques.
