If Freddie was alive...

IF HE WASNT DEAD THEY WOULD BE KICKIN ASS TOURIN WITH HIM RIGHT NOW. NOT SOME DUMBASS PAUL ROGERS WHO CANT SING FOR SHIT!

I'm betting you've never heard Paul RoDgers sing...he has a very good and incredibly capable voice. Before you go shouting stuff like this you should actually think about your arguement.

If he were alive, he would make a song for himself to do strip or he would have already made it. :D
In the middle '70s, he used to do kimono strip for the encore as he was singing Big Spender ( which I used for my old user name!) and he said he wanted to make some by himself...

If he were alive he would probably retire gracefully.

I too think he would have gracefully retired from Rock Music....however, I could see him doing more with opera...

Or putting out an album of great songs of yesteryear, like Rod Stewert's been doing.

You must think, all he knew was music....and Freddie wasn't one to just sit around.

Who knows, maybe Queen would still be touring...its possible...
Hard to believe Freddie would have been 59 this year.

Queen would sooooo still be ROCKIN!

1QUEN_FAN is obviously not the #1 QUEEN fan, but he might be the #1 QUEN fan although, whatever the hell that is.

Who knows?
It's not like any of us are right.
Pretty much guesses and opinions really.
Either way, I would have still loved Queen.
Cheers

in my opinion, because that is all it is, Freddie's voice being one of such a high range, if he was still touring, we'd be seeing different songs performed, ones were he wouldn't have to strain his voice to hit high notes. His voice was at its peak when he died, but 59 is old for someone who can sing higher then alot of women. My guess is, queen would still be around and recording, but we'd see alot less high "Freddie" songs. But you know what, queen ended in their prime, and we should remember Freddie as he was. AWESOME!

Freddie was on the record in a documentary saying that he'd eventually want to back off from the performing role and have more of a production or mentoring role in the industry. So I'd guess that's what he'd have done.

There are some bizarre 'fans' on this site. You preferred he died? Yeh it's reality but what a strange comment. And it's debatable that it took Freddie's death to make them a bigger band.

If he had been healthy and they toured circa 1993+ I'm pretty damn sure they'd have still packed out any stadium in the world.

...I think he would produce lots of albums for others.

Sing duets with Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Robbie Williams, George Michael and Bono.

Appear on MTV Unplugged gig early nineties with the rest of the band.

Collect more awards.

Play in some movies.

Write a book...nah...he wouldn't have the patience xD

yeah i heard that too, if Freddie was alive, still id be able to see Queen perform together (if they toured,with John as well) rather than half of them and that WOULD be amazing!! :-D

I realy don't know about this, if Freddie was healthy, would Innuendo be as good an album? I think Freddie and the rest of the band were inspired (if that's the right term?) to write some of the best music of their career knowing that the next song they recorded might be the last. Saying that I wish that Freddie was still around and they were still making top class albums and touring, but I wouldn't want them fading away, to quote a song/film soundtrack "It's better to burn out than fade away"

If Freddie was alive today he would be enyoing life to the full.

I still think he would be writing and performing as I don't think he would want to be behind the scenes.

Freddie didn't want to die an old man...I too am not one who would like to live till 95 and become the shadow of myself. But he was ONLY 45!!! And his life had become hell years before. Saying it's good he got AIDS and died is really shameful. Yes, he would have enjoyed life to the fullest. He still had many great years to live. I agree his death gives albums like Innuendo a deep meaning, but if he had been alive there would have been different meanings to attach to their songs, and still make them precious.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear, I wish that he hadn't contracted AIDS, in fact I wish that the disease didn't exist, but I do think that some good can come out of anything, no matter how bad. If I could change things and ensure that Freddie remained healthy I would, and take the risk that Queen may have faded away with poor and lack-lustre albums. (Of course this may not have happened, and Innuendo might have been just as good with better to follow) However I do try to see the positives that come out of a situation no matter how dark and depressing the negatives may be.

Dan, I understand what you mean. Actually my post wasn't only addressed to you.

Thanks
