Electric Six

I was watching this show on VH1 just now called, "Redlight Greenlight". It's a show where these three people judge things. If it's good "greenlight"..etc...and they showed the video by electric six...I saw it being talked about before here but never saw the video...It was very cheesy and quite frankly..it was a piece of crap...it was tacky...one of the women who was the judges was saying "I'm so so so so sorry Freddie"...she was apologziing to him..the other two guys liked the song..she was calling them Freddie..she said that she gives the song the red light "for my boy Freddie".She also said Freddie must be rolling over and over in his grave...this video was horrible...I just didn't like it when the guy was transparent dancing on Freddie's grave..I just hated it....

Dancing ON the grave? Not quite. Look again.

Peace,
Adam.

I haven't watched it for a few weeks, but I think he just dances in front of the grave.

Dick valentine (signer) is playing the ghost of freddie, who has risen from the grave and is dancing. now, if i were a ghost, who has just risen from my grave to sing radio ga ga, it would just be a matter of physical convenience to start dancing where I was when my ghostly apparition rose above the surface. why would I, as a ghost, be concerned about dancing near my own tombstone? i came up to rock, and I'm gonna rock where I came up. so in conclusion, it was in the pursuit of realism, that E6 chose to choreograph that scene.

The video was tacky as hell, but affectionately tacky. It didn't seem like it meant to be hurtful.

Would have been better if they left his real name out of it and stuck to fooling around with the rock star image.

The hilarious part of the show was when the woman kept on apologizing to Freddie for the video..and the other two judges said it was a great video and thought that the rest of Queen liked it too..the argument was quite funny...

I hate that video.. the song isn't that bad but the vidio sucks.. How could they do that to Freddie ??

But I think they aren't making fun of him. Not in a evil way but it's horrible..

Caught it for the first time yesterday on VH1, seemed more like a parody than a tribute to me. The video did suck but the music was okay.
Hey, at least Queen is still being recognized in the States. We'll have to take what we can get.

yep

I didn't understand why there were poodles in the video...I thought they were going to have a bunch of cats in it...

Doesn't the poodle playing the Zak Wylde Les Paul into a Vox Cambridge 15 give it away?...

Marchofthedirtqueen....you will need to explain your "problem" - the *rolls eyes* thing is very patronizing - how can you do such a condescending thing - when you clearly didn't understand the video in the first place - only to *roll your eyes* when someone takes the trouble to explain it to you?

this topic has been done to death...Elec6 are big Queen fans - and most level-headed queen fans saw this vid as a bit of harmless, affectionate fun created by someone who truly loved queen....only a small - very insecure-defensive minority see it as some kind of insult

please don't *roll your eyes* in future when you don't understand and someone takes the trouble to explain

And please, let's remember Freddie doesn't even HAVE a grave, so it's really synthetic, eh!!

Meh.
It is a crappy cover of Radio Ga Ga, that should be obvious.
I saw the video, however, and I don't know what to think really.
Of course, someone is bound to take great offense, and I guess I could allow myself to react that way too. But then again...
why care?
If you don't like it, then don't watch it.
And please....let's not talk about this until we all die because god knows that is what will end up happening.
I am not about to waste my time blubbering over a stupid video.
Cheers

Well said Linda of the Valley. *applauds*
Cheers

Look, I am a big Queen fan as well, and I could care less about this Electric Six thing. People just need to realize that they aren't going to like EVERYTHING they see. Jesus.

Don't try suicide
Nobody's worth it.

Hehe.
cheers
