What common misconceptions about Queen annoy you most?
For me, people thinking Roger sung Sheer Heart Attack (some people think he just sung verse 2, but they're still wrong!) generally makes me incandescent with rage. You can't have two much more different sounding people than Freddie and Roger, how the hell can you confuse them??!
And obviously the whole CLTCL/Elvis thing. Idiots.

for years most people did think all the members of Queen were Gay it was just talked about every time some one would bring up the groups name. the first thing out of there mouth would be oh thats the Gay band. yes it is annoying having to explain to people that only one person in the group was Gay.
In the Q Classic "Queen- The Inside Story" Magazine, Francis Rossi seems to be under the impression that Freddie wrote 'I want to Break Free'. I also remember an interview with Freddie from 1985 (I think) where the interviewer believed that he had written the aforementioned song. It seems that plenty of people get that wrong...poor John.

He did sing the part 'ticulate'

Lol FriedChicken. Sure he does sing that one word (and backing vocals on the chorus obviously). That doesn't make people thinking he sung the entirity of the verse vocals any less annoying...
Oh and Mazzalad, the "gay" remarks made by posters in this thread are referring to things other people said. The posters aren't agreeing with it.
And Freddie was gay not bi. As far as I know, he started out sleeping with women then gradually switched to men only, thus becoming gay. Not that it really matters, of course.
Anyway, what with the other three members being married and having several kids apiece.. they look fairly straight to me.

Also main misconception, that Freddie died in 1992
(Fact it actually was 1991) and that he released his press statement 2 days before he died (FACT it was 1 Day before he died).
Also (This drives me NUTS!) misspelling of Freddie's REAL name which I have seen as Farook, Faroukk, Farok, (Fact it was Farrokh).

most annoying misconception - 'But isnt Roger Taylor in Duran Duran?'
*nervous twitch*

that Queen consisted of Freddie Mercury...
....and John was the least important member...( if they only knew the truth..)
One of the most annoying misconceptions about Queen is that they're all gay, as I was once told just look at the music video to Bohemian Rhapsody, this by a non-Queen fan. Also that if you like them you're gay.
Yep most definately. People always say that to me. I just tell them to get bent.

eh heh heh heh!
That We Are The Champions is a gay pride anthem song.
I'm not sure that was Freddie's intent when he wrote it.
The truth is that it could be an anything-anthem song.
The lyrics are very universal.

That BoRhap was the first music video.
And people buy into it.

I think the worst thing is when people talk about Queen like they were some mildly succesful, forgotten band. Like that knob out of G4. He said something like 'Queen were great, it's a shame more people don't cover their songs' or something like that. People don't (usually) cover Queen songs because they can't do them without ruining them (usually). It was patronising. He was talking like he is some huge artist and Queen were just some band left in the 80's. Queen are more significant now than he will ever be.
All the great bands after Queen have said how much they love Queen. And almost every rock band has played either WWRY or WATC at some point.
