Loads of people (Talking about people that arnt fans) act like Freddie Mercury was Queen, because they didnt know the names of the other members, they didnt know that the other members helped wrote the songs and stuff. All they saw was Freddie Mercury being an amazing front man, and knew he had a great voice. So they instantly think Queen = Freddie.
They couldnt give a shit about the other members and if their right or not. Why should they? They aint big fans? It dosnt matter to them. I dont get why fans find this annoying. The fans, know that Queen was 4 amazing members, not just freddie, does it matter that lots of people dont see it that way? Let them be wrong, it dosnt matter to them, and it shouldnt matter to you, that lots of people are ignorent about the band.
What I did find quite annoying one day was about 8 of my mates on the train home from school trying to convice me that the freddie mercury tribute concert was held before he died. Saying that he annouced he was going to die and then they held the concert... Fools. AndI kept telling them they were wrong but they came out with stupiud things like 'But he sung on stage with david bowie!' And 'There musta been two tribute concerts then!'

1. the misconception that Queen was a gay band
just a load of crap.....just because their singer was bisexual....they don't understand that the rest of the band was completely straight
2. the misconception that their music was gay...
bigger load of crap...if anything...after Freddie became more interested in men, Queen took great pains to ensure that their music was for everybody....songs could be for everybody....sexual preferences were not in there...if anything songs were more straight (75% of the band) for example..in My Baby Does Me "My lady....does me good"
3. the misconception that Freddie was the band...
he was a significant part of the band and probably the best singer/performer that has ever been on the planet...but he was still just a quarter of the band....Brian for sure was equally as significant with his songwriting and superior guitar playing
4. the misconception that We Are The Champions was in anyway some kind of gay anthem....
huge load of crap....it was written about Queen's rise through all the crap...and for them and their fans for concerts....and to be extended to sporting events etc....great song...has nothing to do with sexual preferences....which is why Green Day is also using it
....now on to the sexuality questions....for sure I'd say Freddie was bisexual because he had sex with female partners....Mary, Barbara etc....If anyone does both sexes even occasionalliy I'd call them bi....I think Freddie would have prefered to be known as something like Omnisexual as when he referred to his comments...."I'll sleep with women, men, cats whatever".........and after all that...who bloody cares.....he was the greatest singer/performer that there ever was and what he did or who he did in his spare time shouldn't be significant in rock music.....enough said....

That Boh Rhap is about aids....just stupid....
My grandma thinks that CLTCL was an Elvis song, that WWRY was a violent song about throwing rocks at people, and this is a quote
"How could Freddie have a girlfriend when he was queer?"
It annoys me so.

ahhh...u stole mine! i read through the whole thing and was excited that nobody said that yet!...'cept till i got to the end...thanx...
j/k! ^.^ Yeh, that bugs the hell out of me! And also, people at my school know I'm obssessed so they're always like :Ooooh, Queen was a gay band! and Freddie Mercury died of AIDS, right? which seems like an innocent question, but they are CONSTANTLY saying it!!!! But you know, then I get my...well, not really friends but we're good with eachother and everything...signing my yearbook saying that Queen was a totally awesome band and stuff...so whatever. There's good people and then there's annoying people...just gotta learn to kick the annoying people where it hurts the most. ^.^

that every fans are gay...
That Freddie was bisexual. Freddie was really gay.
Well, everything mentioned on here are all bound to annoy the crap out of me, but once someone told me that the bass and piano lines from Under Pressure was taken from Nirvana, in which I wished I'd responded with, "And what kind of crap bong are you smoking?"
I hate the blank stare most of all:
"What's your favourite band?"
"Oh, Queen."
*a blank stare as they try to think of a song Queen did*
This works for me though, since while they are accessing their memory banks, they usually don't notice my left hand skirting around behind their heads as my right slips up under their chins. It's all over with a quick but forceful lift and twist.
I'm really running out of places to hide the bodies, so I hope Queen does something soon to get themselves back in the top 10. Otherwise, I don't know what I'll do! Queen is the be-all and end-all of the musical world. Anyone who doesn't know that had better be able to run faster than me!

Under Pressure base line hits... people go: "Dude... why are you listening to Vanilla Ice?"
God I hate that... and when people think Queen was only Freddie... he might have been the lead singer, but he wasn't the leader (as he so wonderfuly put it himself), Queen was 4 people and it always will be.
(No, I am not bashing Q+PR so don't start.)

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.
Oh my god, I hate when people do that. Then I start yelling them and I go into the explanation of Freddie. Damn bitches.
when people say "didnt that gay bloke write Bohemian Rhapsody" when he knew he was dying? my family say that to me all the time. and also when people say oh roger and freddie theres something going on there, that really pissed me off! and when people scruitanise freddie for being gay, its his chioce get over it!
