Your thoughts on three of my favs.. Ogre battle, Father to son and Liar

Better trash the record. It's skipping to much.

it's a playlist of tracks from the first 3 LPs - all written by your (supposed) hero Freddie. Yet you call it utter crap. Obviously you know f-all about Freddie then - or his songs.

He's fifty-seven years old with six children
He sees the world through a ten year old boy's eyes
He doesn't even notice that it's raining outside

Brenski You do need psychiatric help and everyone on here understands working in the prison's has fucked your brain up mate.
I am not going to punish you this time just pity you because i have sympathy for folk who are unbalanced and waiting for mental health treatment like you.
Keeping taking the Seroxat tablets and go and visit your local "Mind" organisation.
I did think there was something wrong with you when your said Zeppelin were better than Queen ha ha ha ha

Seroxat is an anti-depressant - I'm very happy, so I wouldn't need it. But, as you seem very aware of Seroxat, perhaps this is because you've been taking it instead of your prescribed clozapine. It would certainly explain the increase in your recent psychotic episodes

I never said better. I said bigger. Learn to read you illiterate imbecile.
Better = opinion = subjective
Bigger = fact = objective

Tut Tut you do clog up these threads with your trash comments.
In fact since you have been on here in three weeks you have trolled more than anybody else on here.
Seems like retirement has left you bored and silly.

I think you're mistaking trolling for making fun of an asshole. Or at least what usually gets pushed out of it. Remember Gerry, you smell, act and look like a piece of shit on here. You might forget from day to day but we won't because you keep leaving those brown stains everywhere. You are the ant that keeps thinking it's smarter than the giants that tower over you. You are small, boring, insignificant and forever worthy of ridicule (see my signature). You are a sad and worthless excuse for a human being whose time and effort spend on here is just for your own justification. No-one actually sees you as a serious partner for discussion or for that matter as one to take seriously whatever you spew out on here. You are a zombie to be behold as a weird curiosity but not to be understood why you are still walking around. A shell, empty, lifeless and devoid of growth or even a spark of originality. You are the fluff of your own life. You are nothing. A small play thing that squeaks now and again but doesn't hold any real value or interest to anybody. You are so boring, repetitive and predictable that replying to you only has the value of sharpening ones own attempt at originality and creativity and to pass the time on a dull moment of the day. But of course, as always, your delusion with yourself is far stronger than any reality that might be shown to you. Any mirror, any analysis of what you are and mostly of what you are not. Time for dinner I guess. You are hopeless beyond words. See you next time when I feel like trying to flush you again!

@Shit Stick : There do you feel better now you have spewed up your guts pet?
Run along to mammy because you need a bath before you go to nursery in the morning luvvie ha ha ha

I've been on here [sic] a lot longer than 3 weeks. It's going to be well over 10 years.
Another name change? well I'll just continue to call you Geraldine - you do realise that changing your username is not an etch-a-sketch solution to all of the idiotic posts you're made to date.

Although, ROSE kinda suits you - and naming yourself after your hero: Rose West, is more fitting in with your own personality (such as it is).

Freddie was a prolific writer back then. He definitely managed the production line. I tried to compile a "Brian" album from those first 3 LPs - it was good - but not great. Then I did the same with Bri/Rog/John songs and it still didn't measure up to the "Freddie LP"


It all kind of falls into place when you consider that throughout the 70s - Freddie wrote the hit singles for the UK (home market):

Brian 3½ (two of these did not make the UK top 20)
Freddie 7½
John 2 (1 did not make UK top 20)
Roger 0

Freddie was the one in the band to get them into the limelight with his songwriting in the 70s which was head and shoulders above other band members.

It wasn't that his songwriting was head and shoulders above the others - more that he had an ear for a hit single.

Doin' Alright
Father To Son
White Queen
Night Comes Down
It's Late
Spread Your Wings
Who Needs You
- are as good as Freddie's writing over the same period. They just weren't hit singles.

In fact, it could be argued that Brian was the more balanced and mature writer - as tracks like "Doin' Alright", "Son & Daughter" and "Brighton Rock" had much of their origins in the Smile material.

Brian was writing Zep-type tracks, while Freddie was nearer to Genesis/Yes storytelling style (but not arrangement)

Mercury's songwriting was nothing like Genesis or Yes far from it.
His songwriting was sophisticated and over the top with some of the gems he wrote and no one ever wrote a song like "Bohemian Rhapsody" add to that brilliant ditties like "Killer Queen" "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" "Seven Seas of Rhye" and "Bicycle Race" Freddie was the greatest songwriter in the band easily.
As the eighties began Fred was comfortable enough to let the other band members have a go and he took a back seat.

I don't know. Difficult to compare the song writing abilities of the individual members. One would have to know everything about which part of a song can be attributed to what member and what it would mean in comparison to parts of songs attributed to others. Personally I can't choose.

You're definitely Gerry. No doubt about it.You give yourself away with your inability to read. I never said Freddie's songwriting was like Genesis or Yes.
Read again please. I said:

best examples of this: My Fairy King, Jesus, March of the Black Queen, Seven Seas of Rhye, Great King Rat, Ogre Battle, Fairy Feller - all storyteller-type songs. I'd suggest you refer to the period of the thread-title - this is about the early-Queen stuff. And, FYI - SSOR is not a "little ditty" - it's a great rock song expertly condensed sub-3 minutes and used the exact kind of story-telling language I referred to:
lords and lady preachers, peers and privvy counsellors, master marathon, flash and thunder fire, shod and shady senators, mighty titan and his troubadours...these are old-world terms used to tell the story.

there's a huge difference between style (storytelling) and arrangement - which is precisely why I made the distinction in the first place.
