What Went Wrong With The Cosmos Rocks ?

Absolute nonsense. Smile just ended because it ran its course, like literally millions of bands before and since.[/QUOTE]

@Real Wizard, but we keep forgetting that Freddie's pre-Queen bands were such a massive success. Didn't he leave his (critically acclaimed and massive commercial success) final pre-Queen band just to give Roger and Brian a "leg up" the rock success ladder. :-)

You are so intellectually superior. [/QUOTE]

unfortunately nobody is perfect ...

@Real Wizard You know nothing about me and i am an ardent Queen fan i love the four members and have done since 1974 so you cannot arrogantly
tell everyone on here what i do or do not like you are out of order.
I have lost a lot of respect for Brian and Roger now since Adam Lambert got on board but i do still like past projects they have done.
Until you become a clairvoyant keep your beak out of my opinions matey.

Such a horse would not be in the Grand National

So you have one account where you can put a sentence together, and another where you choose not to.

I pity you for having so much spare time and nothing useful to do with it.

That's as maybe. But, were such a beast to be saddled up at the starting gate, you'd be selling your children, mother, and everything you own to raise funds to bet on it.

Indeed a more attractive proposition than the dead horse you continue to flog

I can one-up that :)

Here's an ad for Sour Milk Sea at the Roundhouse in March 1970, just before Freddie left the band.[/QUOTE]

Thank you

(so I lied and visited 2x in one day whilst killing time during the Oscars)

Sure Roger John & Brian were first class musicians but without the amazing songs Freddie wrote they could have ended up another disaster like Smile did.[/QUOTE] Absolute nonsense. Smile just ended because it ran its course, like literally millions of bands before and since. Smile was a big name on the UK college circuit in the late 1960s, and in Queen's early days (for at least a year) they used the Smile name to get and promote gigs because it had clout, whereas Queen meant nothing to anyone. Once again you are demonstrating your ignorance and are clouded by your hatred for May and Taylor. It says nothing about them and everything about you. [/QUOTE] Not only that, but if Freddie was so all-powerful, why didn't he hit it big with Wreckage? Or Ibex? Or Sour Milk Sea? Not trying to put the guy down, as he was undoubtedly a brilliant musician, songwriter, singer, entertainer, performer, etc., but it took the combination of Freddie, Brian, and Roger – and then ultimately John – to make Queen who they were. EDIT: ah dip, brenski already got there before I did. I'll let my message stand.
