I have no problem with Freddie having a moustache when recording We Will Rock You, or FBG in 1974, but I do have a problem with Freddie being blamed for a breakup of the band which never happened.
Freddie most definitely knew he wasn't very well by Live Aid, although probably didn't know or didn't want to know what it was, so I don't care about that being in the script.
I care about Brian writing We Will Rock You as a slap in the face to Freddie "Screw Him" said Brian just before getting up to clap. I care about Freddie having to grovel which never happened. I care about how much they dissed his solo album and made out like it was to break up the band, which it wasn't even if Queen were in trouble then.
I think Brian May has been a total prick over the script, there were so many other routes the film could have taken that would have been better than the sheer crap that we got. It could have been good but it seems that Ego Will Out.
Excellent post ...
