Two things Freddie didn’t display much of an aversion to were sentimental ballads , or cats.

^true. Yet, the language would fit with "that OLD" line indicated. Hmm... perplexing.
Maybe someone should be archiving all these communiques since so many disappear

If freddie didnt like singing a Brian ballad, they wouldnt have done it live, so it cant have been save me etc, it must have been an album track that wasnt done live.

Mkls, it would be great if you posted it somewhere! Wherever you think is more appropriate.

. . . . . . in truth, Freddie, the frontman, the most prolific member, the writer of most amount of songs, the writer of most of the hits, and the person at least 50% responsible of why Queen sounds like Queen...and the person 100% responsible for name Queen, and the logo Queen...and the overall public conception of what Queen is/was....
Not exactly.
Smile had the guitar sound, the drumming style, the embryonic song writing style (early Queen) the harmony structures and Roger and Brian's combined vocal sound.
Not taking away any of Freddie's talent but he was not 50% of what made Queen .
He was the singer they needed, he was the front man they needed he was a great song writer, but most of what you hear on the early albums, sound wise can be traced back to Smile.
Freddie was the voice and the focal point of the band...... he also happened to write pretty much all the band's 70's hit singles. Without Seven Seas Of Rhye - Killer Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody it is somewhat doubtful they'd have gone on to be the massive band they were, or continued for as long as they did. I'm not a Freddie fanboy, I recognise that the others contributed greatly to the band - but to suggest Smile had the songs is laughable. Sounds don't connect with the public and make hits..... songs and voices do.
Smile may have had a lot of things going on for it, but it was still going nowhere.
The same, however, could be applied to Frederick: he had talent, creativity, etc., but without Brian, John and Roger, he would've probably ended up designing illustrations for other people and that'd be it.

They needed each other, but you could say the same for any great band. Freddie and Brian were the prolific writers of the band. Especially Freddie, he had a unique style of writing. Obviously Brian's guitar sound was huge.

Thank you so much!!
I've finally read it all and it's really interesting! Thanks again for sharing!
I was surprised to read about the 'stay-in' periods in Freddie's life when he didn't go out and didn't communicate with anyone. I've never read that anywhere before. But I somehow had a feeling he might have had such times, I don't know why...
A really interesting interview!
