Freddie quesion I've been wondering for YEARS!

I've been a Queen fan for quite some time, and was always confused about one specific thing...

WHY THE HELL DID FREDDIE ALWAYS HAVE A METAL ROD ATTACHED TO HIS MIC???

If I remember correctly, at an early Queen show while Freddie was performing the top part of the microphone stand broke off from the bottom part and Freddie just performed the rest of the show that way. After that show, he just decided to have half of the stand attached to his mic as sort of a trademark thing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's how it got started...

Exactly.

Wow...I didn't know that, but that's interesting. It's neat to see how such common trademarks started so mundanely (sp?) Thank you for putting my mind at ease.

I love that whole 'half-mic' thing... So cool! :D

Don't forget that it wasn't just for being a trademark thing. He liked it because it wasn't heavy to move around the stage.

Peace,

It's what Rainmaker said...only a bit different.


When Freddie was in a band called 'Wreckage' (His band in de late 60's) the stand of his microphone broke, and they didn't have roadies to put it back. So he twirled around with it, and the audience liked it. So he kept on doing it ever since

I was wondering that too!

When I was little I always thought it looked like he was waving it around like a magic wand...kind of like a magician or something. Like at the end of "Let Me Entertain You" he waves it in the air on the last note before the stage goes black....

I like when in the video for SMGO he used it to swordfight with the others:)

That would be Princes of the Universe.
