Freddie confirms Queen are not Queen if four members are not there

Vocal Harmony Dont make me laugh, you never wasted any time jumping on the band wagon when this thread came on here you attacked straight away and you know you are the one who lacks basic knowledge in rock music.
Queen have been more successful than most rock groups and Deep Purple do not come near to the sheer talent of all four Queen members, you are a laughing stock.
Queen are the greatest rock n roll band in the world, and that was also said by Peter Hince who was a Roadie for Queen from 1976. He would shoot you all down in flames on here because you all talk utter crap.

Actually the context for what Freddie said, in the Dave Clark interview, was that he was asked if he was bringing the Queen sound to Dave Clark’s musical, and he said no, Queen is all four together. Meaning that he Freddie, alone, was not the Queen sound. He wasn’t making a comment about what the other 3 togother were, or what Bri and Rog alone would be. Now one could infer. But what he was actually saying was I Freddie am just Freddie, not Queen.

(And I know that Freddie was not in the cast of the musical but did some recordings for Dave Clark’s record Time.)

I don’t particularly care for Adam Lambert as a singer, from what I have heard, but Bri and Rog can do what they want with their lives, and people can go see them with AL or not, as they wish. And Bri and Rog can call themselves Queen + or The Peasants Revolt for all I care. I think people have figured out by now that they’re not getting Freddie. :-/

Gallileo 1564 Yeah we all know the drivel May & Taylor have on offer and nothing new there, i just wish they had gone on the road as just a pair of rock musicians and no need for anyone to take Freddies lead vocal, and at least that way we would have no feuds on here,
You did hear what Freddie said about the Queen sound and that it can only come to life if the four of them get together on that stage or in a recording studio, other wise it just does not work.
It is a bit like Jeff Lynn after he left ELO the band was not the same as it was and we all associated Jeffs voice as ELO and the same with Freddie such a recognisable voice and the harmonies are typically Queen as Freddie used them as his trade mark with the others.

Freddie compares himself to John Lennon. I tried to make this a clickable link. The relevant comment is in the first 30 seconds. Posting this because the Beatles have come up in this thread.

I would have loved if one of the reporters had asked Freddie his reasons for this opinion.

Yeah, I guess Long Away, Sleeping On The Sidewalk, and live versions of Love Of My Life weren't Queen songs either.[/QUOTE]

'Long Away' does have the four of them.

Then why do you keep posting here if you think you're smarter than everyone else here?

You clearly need to graduate to an audience who can handle your unparalleled knowledge about everything under the sun.

So do you think Jeff Lynne should be out as ELO playing now? After all, Roy Wood the original founding member left many years ago. Kelly Groucutt who was a major part of the bands vocal sound from the mid 70's through to the 80's left (and unfortunately not with us anymore). Bev Bevan left mid 80's. There were so many lineup changes in the band over the years but they still performed as ELO. (Not talking about ELO II or Orkestra).

Douchebag formerly known as happystar...are you Treasure Momento?
You two really are similar.

Haven't read the whole thread - I will do though - but my take is that Freddie was very generous when it came to the chaps doing their own thing, as he also found it necessary to do his own thing. With the current set of circumstances (IE him being dead) I'm sure if he is able to look down he'd be OK with it. They celebrate Freddie. He'd be fine with it.

Im sure if Freddie was looking down at the other two Queenies he would say it was ridiculous.
Freddie once said he would never want to perform on the stage running around as an old man so god knows what he would say about Roger and Brian still at it and Brian in his 70s now!

So you think because his personal preference would be to not still tour at that age he'd think no one else should either? There's a lot of musicans in their 70's still touring, Mick Jagger (75), Paul McCartney (76), Rod Stewart (73) should they all have to retire as well? Who gets to set this arbitrary age that someone should give up doing what they love at?

Mr Right a.k.a. Gerry has taken a disturbing turn.

If you want to have a disturbing bit of insight into what's going on here, go back to page one and read Gerry's posts, all of them, from there - but pretend that when he writes Queen he means "my religion" and when he writes Freddie he means "Jesus".

This is not music fandom. It is not trolling. It is not even homophobia or habitual conservatism.

This is religious fanaticism.

When you're in your 30s it's easy to say you will not perform on stage anymore when you are in your 50s.

Mr. Right do you never ever change your opinion? Do you stick to things you said 20+ years ago in a conversation?

I am quite sure Freddie took things pretty easy in interviews and would have said things differently if he had known what people do with this.

In the book A LIFE IN HIS OWN WORDS you find the quote I like leather. I love to see myself as black Panther. SHOULD BRIAN, ROGER AND JIM KNOW TRY TO MAKE PEOPLE REMEMBER FREDDIE AS BLACK PANTHER???

No I didn't, although in your small minder way I can see why you may think I did. I question whether or not you are in a position to call out journalists and others for verbally attacking Freddie's sexual orientation given that you've said the same and worse about Adam Lambert and his following and those of us who have enjoyed the current touring line up. Rather than post a rational educated and mature answer you were your predictable self and posted a couple of insults then went on a one man crusade against everyone who doesn't share your opinions.

Deep Purple, along with many other bands had members who were/are more accomplished musicians then the members of Queen. That is very different to saying Queen were not a brilliant band.

Don't worry I know who Ratty is, I've spoken to him about lots of music not just Queen. Thankfully he has a mature open mind, unlike you.
