'Who Wants To Live Forever' is not about AIDS nor Freddie.
Hmmmmmm this is getting very confusing. Are we being sarcastic,
lying,
or stating the obvious?
:(
No, don't answer that..

Sorry, but I'd answer :) They are REALLY asking such questions, believe me! "How old Roger is?" - is a real story...
I personally don`t feel bothered by those questions. Nobody has to know them. Yeah I know the google argument but I personally feel it`s easier to ask a forum where certainly they can give you an informed decision, than visiting a random website that can easily be wrong. Of course, if I were a newbie and got insulted because I didn`t know Elvis didn`t write songs or because I didn`t know Mr. Robotto is from Styx, I would certainly go away.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

Like alot of you out there, I have got fed up of the stupid questions from "various" people. SO... I have made a newbie questions topic. Here you can put all the questions asked by the ignorant - and answer them. Then we can be really mean if they are ever asked again. Write the question, and the answer, and then it can be banned!! :D



No question is stupid, asking questions means you want to learn, ignorant is the one who doesn't ask, who stands in silence without knowing or wanting to know. You were born knowing everything? everyone was a newbie, it's easy to just answer the questions, and let go, or simply not bothering, why get mad with questions? tehy're not attacking no one, they just want to know.
Doing Alright!

So why newbies can't search previous topics and read some articles on Queen sites? Is it too hard? There's no problem in answering question, but when someone ask you per week about the same simple thing it makes people mad.

Yes but it`s not their fault. When a newbie enters he/she doesn`t know if the question has been asked before. An organised FAQ would be useful, but still there would be people who would ask here, and there`s nothing wrong with that

- "A Winter's Tale" is not cover of the David Essex hit (2nd place at the charts at 1982)

- Brian and John are not left-handed although of first footages of new (GVH1) version of 'Bicycle Race' video (there's mirror effect and it seems like Brian and John took they guitars in the left-handed way)
There is no BBC version of Black Queen

John plays guitar in Back Chat but it`s the rhythm, not the solo

Another One Bites The Dust wasn`t written for Jacko although it was him who suggested it as a single

Tim doesn`t feel any guilt for leaving, he`s happy to have done it because otherwise there would have been no Queen

The We Will Rock You "groan" is Brian from counting before making the stomp-stomp-clap percussion

Brighton Rock intro is from a special effects album they got when signed with Elektra, Teo`s ending is sung by the band+crew+friends.

There are live versions of Roger's songs (which are present on Queen albums with Roger lead-vocal) with Freddie's lead-vocal on it - 'Rock It' and 'Modern Times Rock'n'Roll' and he sung a couple of improvised lines for 'I'm In Love With My Car' for once (Roger forgot lyrics).
