Okay, I wondered many years what Freddie says just before Under Pressure at Wembley '86.

It sounds to me like 'the pimes', but I think that's rather impossible.

Help me, I'm desperate...

Thank you. I have wanted to ask that for a long time too as I have no idea what he says too, so anybody wants to chime in.

I've listened a thousand times to that fragment but can't make a thing out of it.

The only thing I suggest he could say is 'the times' but it doesn't make sense. Unless Freddie just thought about that famous newspaper or wanted to make a statement about 'the busy times' with a lot of pressure. I don't know.

I thought he said 'you swines' or something along those lines.
Resistance is futile. You are now an orb.

'i have aids and will die in 1991 dears' thats what he says if you slow it down and use the zoom feature on some dvd players to read his lips... i'm sorry that was a stupid joke...but is it a joke if it's not funny...anyway, i apologize if i offended anyone with my stupidity.

It sounded like "swines."
I guess Freddie thought he finally had the crowd with his "ey-do" thing.

Erm don't mean to b rude but if you mean when he finishes his DAy-O! thing he actually says "Fuck You" really gently I hope this has helped!!!

It sounded to me like "spines." It sounded like there were chimes or something playing there and they sounded like audio equivilent "getting a chill up your spine." That's probably not it, but that's what it always made me think iof.

Exactly.
And afterwards, is the muttered comment in question here.

It sounds like 'spines' to me too. Weird.

He certainly does say "the Swines". well he does according to this site
http://www.ultimatequeen.co.uk/homepage.htm
then go to songs, queen, live albums, wembley. This site is good because it tells you every word said in concert. I read this then i watched wembley and it does sound right.
Q
I originally thought he was saying "it's time..." but I believe (ir have believed) now what he is saying was "let's find..."
"Have you ever seen or touched any monkeys?"
S
what happened, was the band caught Freddie out and played Under Pressure to early , so Freddie simply said "you swines" to them.
We love you Freddie, R.I.P

But he says it at the same time as Roger starts the beat for Under Pressure, so that can't be right. I think it sounds more like "there's times...", but that still doesn't make sense.

Perhaps he was going to say something else, as a sort of introduction to Under Pressure, but the song had already started so he didn't bother?
