I wonder why Freddie liked arrows so much on his clothes, at least on the Hot Space Tour, at Milton Keynes., etc.

Also arrow imagery...remember the "sensual" body painted arrow pointing..down..that the band had in the video for "I Want To Break Free".

(Although The Who used an arrow as their main logo too.)

But Freddie & Queen used it for more shall we say...erotic meaning don't you think.

They wore clothes that were in fashion at the time, the Works era gives a great example.
Guess jeans, addidas shoes, well every one cept brian, he stuck with the pirate age shirts.

That was Body Language - why do I even bother to answer. Apparently you try to wind up people with your nonsense posts.

He wore the arrow stuff on Hot Space tour because that was his 'thing' for that tour. Differant things for differant tours. Like the jackets on the Magic Tour, the crown lighting rig on the Crazy/Jazz/Live Killers tour (or whenever it was).

On the cover of Body Language the single it has the arrows painted on 2 bodies. Freddie wearing the arrows connects with that. I think that stuff is clever. Like when the artwork of singles is similar of the album they are off (like Innuendo or The Miracle).

It was a daft question really. In words similar to those of Dr Frank N Furter 'You better wise up Arlene Weiss'.

You know, pretending to be someone else doesn't work, as you have the same name...

Oh, I hope we get a deep and introspective post on Brian's obsession with clogs next!

I want to break free video does have ppl with arrows painted on them during the solo part, in some ballet like crap dancing and stupid shit like that, I had to actually see it again, I thought the same way Barb did about that, very easy to forget, well not so easy, but this aint something I want to remember.
Now about Brian's clog, go ahead Arlene, start a new topic so we can discuss that

Well I like being on top and assertive, start things..you get the point eh,...of my men that is...but I also like a man who isn't a p***y and is ready to be a man of action..as Freddie would say, "Action this Day".

Go for it...be a man!!!

There is no version of the IWTBF video with body painting, not to mention arrows.

The middle part of the video is an re-enactment of Nijinsky's ballet realisation of Debussy's "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un Faune". The dancers wear ballet suits, there is no body painting. Freddie is, of course, the Faune and he wears a replica of Nijinsky's costume - with no arrows at all.

"as Freddie would say, "Action this Day".
