bazmitch: "Hi people. Interesting to see the speculation about my recording. Listen to John (S. Stuart), he knows the truth. Yes it is the only existing recording of me with Queen. And John, of course I look older. The only picture you have probably seen of me was taken 35 years ago. I still had hair! If any of you get hold of my recording I hope you enjoy it. Glad to make it available for you guys.

regards Barry Mitchell

Note: The only picture I have seen of Barry is in "As It Began" - and it dates from the early 1970's - hey you should see pictures of me 30 years ago. (Then again, perhaps not!!!).

PS: Would be willing to answer a few "Queenzoner's" questions re: your days in Queen? If not, that's OK, as we all respect your privacy.

Barry is another of our celebrity "readers", as some may remember that John Frankel from the "Left Handed Marriage" also wrote in here, earlier this year.

I invite to Brian May and/or Roger Taylor to join the site (with a username) and share some comments and stories with us!
(an almost utopic idea but since Brian has visited this site - I've read that somewhere... not in wikipedia! - it wouldn't be a crazy idea)

*Roger writing here? Nah...*


That would be great, but if Brian visited Queenzone in the last month or so, i think that he doesn`t want to come back again. For me this August was the worst month of Queenzone!- Too much hate goin`around.

Lets hope that things are calming down a little.

Take care
LOL! Brian does write here (and I'm not him by the way!) But a friend of mine has noticed that he does sometimes write here. Not too sure what name he uses but he hasn't written here for quite sometime. He mostly voices his opinions on his own site and who can blame him. Better to remain anonymous, and by the way who cares who posts here especially if they are willing to lend a hand in adding their information without giving their identity away. With so much misinformation about the band out there who cares who's posting the correct information as long as it is correct and can be verified.

As far as Barry Mitchell is concerned he's just lending a hand to the fans who are interested in what he has to add.

Thanks Barry.

Cheers,
David
HELLO DARLINGS!
i'm glad to know that Barry Mitchell is a member of the ZOne. Welcome on board!
Anything too stupid to be said... is sung.
I´m almost sure that the guy in that pic is Mike Grose.
Hi Alex.
Yes that is Mike Grose. I think the only picture of me in queen days is the one in As It Began.
Brian was taking pictures all the time, but it seems that no other`s exist. How I wish I had taken some. Thankyou all for the warm welcome to your forum.

Barry
Barry, nice to have you here! I have a question: did you remain in contact with the guys after you left Queen, at least for some time?
I'm so glad you are here Barry!!! It's awesome you are sharing with us your stories. It's very kind of you.

:)
Wo ist das kamerahhhhhhhhhhh!!! NJ!!!
Barry, a quick question if I may?

When you knew Freddie - was he still Farrokh Bulsara - or was he by then Freddie Mercury? There seems to be a bit of a debate as to when he adopted the Mercury persona.

Thanks.

I used to visit Freddie whilst he was selling cuban heel boots in kensington market.I maybe saw him 2 or 3 times over a period of 6 months or so. But I lost contact after that.
