mike hunt wants to give queenzoners a brief history lesson. It seems some of you are confused, saying brian and roger created the band queen, exuse me, but brian and roger created a band called smile (not queen) then freddie joined forces with them and was freddie's idea to drop the smile in favor of queen. why am i bringing this up? simply because some on these bullshit forums keep saying brian and roger created queen, simply not true. roger wanted to call the band "rich kids" remember? also, remember who came up with the art work, all the early hits. What is mike hunt trying to say? One man created queen and that man was freddie mercury. followed only slightly by brian may.

Who disagree's with this My Cunt??
Even Roger Taylor himself said this...
You say Freddie = Early Hits??
Body Language, Under Pressure, Staying Power, It's a Hard Life, Man on the Prowl, The Miracle, (co-wrote) Breakthru, Innuendo, I'm going slightly mad, The Hitman, Don't try so hard, co-wrote The Show Must Go On (Brian has said the first verse of lyric's is mostly Fred's.... "I'll face it with a grin" line is Fred's)...
So this means Freddie had most of the later hits as well....while dying from AIDS.
I think John Deacon put it best in one of his last interview's on why he has retired "If Freddie is not there, then I am not working with Queen, it's me Brian & Roger....it's hard to be Queen, without...well...Queen." (JOHN REFERRING TO FREDDIE BEING QUEEN)
I WILL FIND THE LINK TO THIS INTERVIEW....I JUST READ IT.

the reason i brought it up in the first place is there are people in queenzone without mentioning names who have said brian and roger created this band, so as a queen fan i must set them straight. A fan of all four members, it seems people don't know the history of queen, or else they wouldn't say such dumb ass things. Check the history section people.
Mike, I agree with you...
I would just suggest that if you felt strongly enough to create a topic on this, you should call out the people who have done the offending to your belief.
Hopefully, if you do it politely, this can become a decent thread...with decent, civilized discussion.

tell us when we should really care. ok? look most of already know this, but some of the new queen fans might not of and are presuming from the latest tour. now both of you shut the fuck up cos we dont fucking care!
News flash - we already know this stuff.
Why don't you regale us with tales of how Freddie wrote CLTCL while in the bathtub? Stunning!
DId you know Brian's guitar is homemade???
Oh, did you know that Queen stole the show at Live Aid?
It's true! WOW!

Let's face the truth here- Freddie was Queen.
Yes technically only 1/4 of Queen, but in reality
he was much more than that!

Freddie needed the band to get anywhere, without the connection with brian and roger and john, he wouldnt have made it and same is true for the rest of the band. Freddie joined smile, droped the name and wrote the early hits yes BUT, he only wrote the lyrics and chord proggresions and occasionly came up with riffs and to be honest, Freddie wasnt pleased with his vocals in the early days AND if the shear heart attack tour failed then they were gonna disband.
A band is a band and thats how it is you fools, let it go. if your such a queen fan ten youd know how they would feel so pull the rods out of your ass's and get over it, you wanted them to go on tour, john wants to be retired and do you expect them to tour without a lead vocalist, its not queen, its Queen + Paul Rodgers, non of you complained when it came to the F.M. Tribute. Paul is not freddie, nor is brian and roger Queen but they are a strong part and if they wanna tour they should and if they wanna use the name they should.
I dont feel like fred would comlain, REMEMBER HE LIKED PAUL RODGERS.

Yes thankyou. Queen was four equal members. They are people behind their godly music talents, they can do whatever they want. It isn't your band, so why do you care? If you don't like it them don't listen to it and don't appreciate what they are doing if you have such a problem. As for me, I happen to be very supportive of what they are doing.

and if Sharron G or Mike Hunt or BPP post anymore carp in this thread or any other thread about Queen RIP 1991 etc etc then they are daft twats who are better off dead!
SMILE,QUEEN,RICH BOYS.... they could have gone with names like; My mother ass, or the cock or even piggy f*cker.... they are just names and it's not the name who important, the music they made were explosif..
and again, Freddie joint with Brian and Roger to make a team and this music is a teamwork....and Queen wouldn't be Queen if there were no Brian nor Roger... It is something magic that happened between the 3 of them an later of course joint by John (cause he had some contribution in Queen aswell)...
This is going to take the road again of the never ending story alway arguing about weither who is the one who made Queen.... In my opinion they all did and there wouldn't be Queen if one of them were missing (it would be diffrent)...
To talk about the Queen name... Freddie made part of Queen and maybe people believe this is bullshit, but even if you can't see it Freddie has still a life within the Queen songs and the majority of the song been performed are Queen songs... And I think if I were death, I would realy apreciate my songs and my work to be iternaty, remembered and ending up like legends....Roger & Brian cary on the candle and I believe freddie is with them in everything they do....
LIFE GOES ON

Brian wanted to call the band "Build Your Own Boat". Strange but true.
Mike makes some really excellent points here. Because Freddie is not here, he can no longer remind us of the vastly important role he played in establishing the true essence of Queen. Brian and Roger should not be allowed to stretch the truth too far. However, it is easy for them to do this without Freddie being there.
At the end of the day, Queen consists of: one genius, one really brilliant guy and 2 other guys who were pretty good assuming that they could get some significant writing help from Freddie. By no means are all four members of the band equal with regard to either talent or creative contributions. If Freddie implied this at any point, then this just illustrates how very humble he must have been.

Wrong, dear - Freddie was *a* queen.
Here's another news flash -
Freddie, Brian, John and Roger *were* Queen.
Freddie's dead. John retired.
Brian, Roger, John when-he-feels-like-it and Freddie's memory are Queen *now*.
