Paul Prenter-Freddie's Betrayer, Devils' Spawn!

"Yes, you asked very politely, and I thank you for that, and I'm trying to get better about it, but I still often say it out of habit. Not meaning to offend, it's just the way I talk. Matter of fact, I use it most often when someone has recently offended me - as in, some of the venom-spitting that's going on in here."

- Thank you for understanding my feelings, Mandy. I can understand what you are saying, as we all have habits. If I have by any chance offended you in my previous post, I apologize for any offence as well.

I think it is a pretty extreme for you to refer to Peter as the "Spawn of Satan." You do not have all of the facts of this story (and never will), so why be so extreme with your insults towards a deceased man?

Because he is deceased doesn't mean you can't say anything about him.
for example Hitler is dead , but people do not stop talking about how evil he was because he is dead

More so, I was asking why waste your time on insulting a dead man, who you know very little about. I also think the comparison you're making of Paul Prenter and Hitler is terribly extreme. But I guess whoever wronged Freddie in their lifetime ranks with other people who were responsible for oppressing and killing millions of innocent people, right?

Careful. You wouldn't believe the number of people who will probably try to make arguments for why this is true.

Yeah, but I've got my sanity to back me up. ;^)

speaking of JIM is he dead yet if not how was he able to live so long with the disease?.. or does he have it?..and what the hell is he up to these days? still making $$ from Freddies death?

Paul Prenter was NEVER Freddie's lover. Peter Freestone said so!

I believe that Jim Hutton in his book "Mercury & Me" said that Prenter was in fact & old friend of Freddie's, which is in the excerpt from my first post.

But various press and interviews I have read said Prenter was Freddie's lover as well. Don't know for certain.

I think he has HIV but not AIDS. Or maybe I made that up I can't remember. He aint dead as far as I know. And he doesn't make money from Freddie's death. They guy loved Freddie, Freddie loved him.

i can't believe ANYONE would make such an extremely bizarre, snidey, offensive and bitter comment as that!!!!

....and i would hate to see what way you think people should die for say - burglarly or car theft - because they are bigger crimes than what this sad creature committed.

how can ANYONE deserve to die in this manner? as this is a queen forum, the whole AIDs thing might reasonably expect people (in QZ) to show a little understanding and tolerance -

you have made one very sick comment
wash your mouth out with soap and water

Oh...I can see why that sounded bad. However, you'll notice I never actually said anything about AIDS - I don't honestly think anyone deserves to die in that sort of way. What I actually meant was that he deserved to be spurned and hated by Freddie but I can see how it didn't come out like that.
Classy post btw.

A lot of ppl on here speak out of their arse a lot, I dont think Paul and Freddie were lovers is a proven fact. There;s evidence against it. Here's a quote disputing that fact:

"Paul died of AIDS in 1991 in his native Dublin, by which time I hadn’t been in touch with him for a number of years. I did read somewhere on the internet an article which insinuated that Freddie could have caught AIDS from Paul, which is frankly ridiculous, since their relationship was never anything more than a business and social one.
"

Here's the link from that "source" lol

I don't care whether that low life boneless idiot (no need to give him the privilege of naming him) was treated good or bad, come on EVEN IF he lived a nightmare (which I doubt since life proved that Freddie took care of those he loved really well) you just don't do that.
Come on how many of us have been hurt, yet NORMAL people don't go and do that if not for the love you feel, if not for the friendship you shared, but at least for your own integrity.

Do I think it's bad that someone said he deserved to die, not sure, being politically correct is not always the right way. Would it have been better to say: What goes around comes around? Definitely!

Furthermore, if Freddie was such a nightmare why didn't he walk instead of sticking around? Now, no need to know both sides of this story let's look at the facts.
- He was Freddie's assistant/friend
- He betrayed Freddie
- Made money out of humiliating him
- tried to contact Freddie after (now if it's true that this was the action of someone that was treated like S_ _ T then why calling back? to get more info to sell?

It may be wrong and not fair to say he deserved to die, but life ain't fair, everyone has a right to have some privacy and trust people you love and that monster's action changed Freddie's life. Now you go take your high road of saying that the idiot didn't deserve to end the way he did, take that to his family and to those who love him, go and tell them to their face. I never wish badness on anyone, but I do believe in Karma, we are no1 to judge, that's God's role but cannot blame those who love this amazing man for feeling angry that the gutless action of one hurt Freddie.

Never mind all that, I think the worst thing about Pretner's involvement is the way he tried to work his way into the band, influencing Freddie's attitude to the band and its music and his role in it and his relationship with the others. Sad to say, but Freddie was seemingly too taken with Pretner's company to stop and separate their private or business relationship from band issues which should have been down to the band and Jim Beach. Freddie didn't seem to want to ditch him, and this apparently caused a lot of friction with the others, culminating in Hot Space!

So, is Paul Prenter Queen's Yoko Ono or something?
Didn't know much about this guy and his influence until the DOOL documentary. Apparently he hated guitarist! hehe :)

For one second I thought Arlene was back!
