That was Freddie`s most classic outfit... if you want rockstars to look like the cliché "rockstar" than I think you have chosen the wrong band - then you should perhaps listen to the Rolling Stones.
It was Freddies extravagant costumes that made Queen live unique. I think that 99 percent of the Queen fans agree that shows like Earls Court, Hyde Park or New York / Houston 1977 are THE classic queen concerts - and on all those occasions Freddie was wearing a leotard.
I LOVE HIS LEOTARDS!!!

Another One Bites The Dust and Body Language. I'm sorry, but it's just those two that just didn't work for Queen.
Yeah, Another One Bites The Dust really killed their career in the States didn't it? Didn't work at all for them...
I'm sorry, but I just don't fancy staring at another guy's bulge. I could perhaps tolerate those tight jeans that Robert Plant or Roger Daltrey used to wear in the 70s, but leotards are just completly disgusting to look at.
I seriously don't mind if what Freddie wears is the same as the usual "cliche" rock star outfit, as long as the music is not cliche, then that's good enough for me.

Yes, but then Freddie would not have been the outrageous Freddie we all know and love!!! ... then Queen would just have been another 70s rock band.
You are probably the first Queen fan to complain about this.

I totally agree with you. I love the fact that he was so colourfull. He just didn't really care what everyone thought. He just did what he thought was right. "It looked ridiculous then but it worked!". The only thing I maybe would erase is the body language saga...
I would erase Freddie's death, so i could see what Queen would be like today.
Freddie Mercury's Death!
They would be 'MASSIVE' Today..makes us sad really to even talk about this Topic

anything post freddies death :( has been a bit average, wheeras before esp in the 70s twas brilliant. theres nothing realy u can justify as erasing cos MIH was tribute to Freddie, 46664 is for a great cause, i didnt like MIH films v much though - just not the same without Freddie
Good topic by the way!

thanks to you both at least some people appreciate a change in topic!!!!
I'm sick and tired of you people who bash 'Made In Heaven', along with all the stuff they did in the 80s.
I mean, in the case of 'Made In Heaven' they couldn't record more original post-Innuendo songs because Freddie didn't have much time left. Can you fuckin' blame Queen for that? At least they put a huge amount of effort possible on making a whole album (even if they had to take previously recorded tracks). To me anyone who bashes the great effort that was put to make 'Made In Heaven' possible is just absolutely disgraceful. Freddie went back to Montreux to record despite feeling completely weak due to his illness. He would have desired more than anything in the world to make a complete brand new album, and sadly that wasn't possible. Yet, I'm sure he's more than proud of what Brian, Roger, and John did to finish the album.
And about the 80s, is just fuckin' ridiculous that people can't take anything for a change. Queen was still Queen, the problem is that some people want bands to sell them the exact same thing over and over again, and Queen was too good for that. They would expect Queen to always make their albums sound exactly like the glam-rock era of the early 70s, but it just can't be done that way. Times change, and so do rock bands. If you want to listen a band whose albums always sound the same, then go buy all the Dream Theater records.
Seriously, are you guys real fans?

I, like many Queen fans wasn't very fond of 'Hot Space' the first time I heard it. Yet I think that it's not all that bad as so many people want to put it, and it has grown on me a bit. It's still my least favorite album though.
You could say that 'Hot Space' was a mistake, and in many ways it could possible be, but as I mentioned before Queen learned from that.

hot space - that is all - then they have a fantastic back-catalogue
It's very different....if a completely different band-new band-released that album would you like it? Cos I really like the songs but I agree it definitely wasn't the Queen everyone knew before that album. But it's different, and has some great songs on it.
Exactly ! Hot Space, Let's Go!
Have the people who continously moan about the album bought the On Fire CD/DVD releases, I wonder....
