Dunno if Queen have the patent on the title, but they can really get some money out of it as u see. And some can sue Queen for using that title. Gosh. What a crime. Get a life.

What's wrong about Robbie Williams? He's a talented singer and performer, and has lots of great songs.
Even if his choice of titles shows he loves Freddie, then what??? Good for him!!! And for us. He will never be worth a thousandth of what Freddie is, but he is cool nevertheless. After all, who would be??

No-one can. And all the sensible artists out there who are Queen/Freddie fans know that, and simply pay homage rather than try to copy something they could never match. But some people can't understand that.
Never mind, eh.

List of people that don't care:
Zebonka12. We're off to a flying start!
"Gosh. What a crime. Get a life."
Jesus Christ, you can say that with a straight face, having just gone to the trouble of listing all those people who - ah bugger it, there's no saving you.
" What's wrong about Robbie Williams?"
He's crap.
"He's a talented singer and performer"-
Singer no. But I have no problem admitting the crowds seem to like him - this is why I don't mind that he does shows like Live8. He might suck balls but if he can rev the crowd up so they can recieve the better acts like Paul McCartney in a louder fashion, then all the power to him.
"-and has lots of great songs."
There are some pretty songs in his repertoire.
"He will never be worth a thousandth of what Freddie is, but he is cool nevertheless."
Perhaps it's a common misapprehension that people hate him just because he's not Freddie Mercury, and that they're comparing him unfairly. This is not true. I can only speak for myself when saying that I don't hate him because he sucks compared to other people. He just generally sucks and it's sort of painful to see someone like that stumble their way through something they're not that good at. He's an oaf.
"But some people can't understand that.
Never mind, eh."
There are some times when people shouldn't pay homage. Elton John is one example. The Hitchhikers Guide movie of 2005 is another. I bet Douglas Adams was rattling in his coffin when the words "For Douglas" came up at the end. More like 'Way to screw over the dead guy's magnificent book'.

Hey I just heard that Robbie loves scrabble! Another similarity to Freddie? LOL.
Anyway I still think he's cool.
Anyway I still think he's cool.
Robbie wants to be Freddie? So what? Weren't most of you spending your time on watching some awful amateur Queen cover bands?
Maybe because I don't know a lot of things about Robbie - I can only judge about him by hearing music he's doing. And I haven't heard something awful in it. Gary Cherone was trying to sing and look like Freddie on Freddie's tribute more than any others ever, but Extreme is still respectful band for Queen fans. Only one problem of Robbie Williams for Queen fans is - he's Robbie Williams. "Everything done by Britney or Robbie is crap, no matter what they're doing", yeah?
If some young guys would start listen Queen music, because their modern idol Robbie tells him that Freddie and Queen were great - I'd be glad.
(P.S. There was a hit song in the first half of 80s called "A Winter's Tale"... Nasty Queenies stole others' fame!)

I agree with you Serry. I was just joking because some people on the board find it so hard to accept that Robbie likes Freddie...I actually think it's not bad at all. And I think he's a very good singer and has some great songs. I too don't know anything about him.
I just heard there's a scrabble championship going on and that Robbie might take part in it LOL! So that made me laugh, thinking of this thread.

No, no, Fairy - my reply was for the starter of the topic, not for you - he wrote that Robbie wants to be Freddie :)
LOL Serry
Jesus. I've walked into a room of idiots... I should fit right in.
I don't hate Robbie Williams because he's Robbie Williams. I dislike him because everything he's done (that I have seen) sucks balls.
How on earth that makes me an ignorant prick I've no idea.

Thank you. We love you too. But to be honest - you've walked in that room just after you were born and you still alone there!
Damned... What a need in making these rude and offensive comments?! You don't like Robbie - okay! Should we don't like him too because of your opinion?! Hell, no! You don't like what he's done? Let's do something by yourself and then we'd talk about you!
That's why I'd never upload Face It Alone for you! :P

"Thank you. We love you too."
That's a strong word.
"But to be honest - you've walked in that room just after you were born and you still alone there!"
Bam, wrong wrong and more wrong on a level you can't possibly understand! Furthermore, if it were full of idiots, would I be alone? Nincompoop I was just poking fun...
"Damned... What a need in making these rude and offensive comments?!"
Rude and offensive? Are you Robbie Williams? Of course not - therefore it shouldn't offend you. I don't hate anyone for liking him, that's their own twisted decision.
"You don't like Robbie - okay!"
Aha. I was worried I hadn't made that clear yet...
"Should we don't like him too because of your opinion?!"
Opinion... it's a funny word, often used to disengage from an argument when one knows they're wrong.
"Hell, no! You don't like what he's done?"
NO I don't! It's *awful*.
"Let's do something by yourself and then we'd talk about you!"
(stifled yawn) Look, what I do in my spare time is beyond reproach, I have no lack of confidence in my ability to hammer out something better than Robbie Williams' brand of *crap*. I AM NOT A SINGER, but I am a guitarist and I know what I'm good at, so I'd never make an idiot of myself stumbling across stage doing something I can't. I'm sure the man is a wonderful wonderful person with manifest talents. Singing is not one of them.
What *is* this stupid comeback people keep using? The moment I shit on someone who sucks badly, the first thing they go for (perhaps it's an automatic response) is "well can YOU do better?".
Sure I can.
"That's why I'd never upload Face It Alone for you! :P"
Someone already did. So we can put that joke to bed. :D

Is it supposed to be funny? Well, it is not.
I know who's singer Robbie Williams and I don't know the guitarist Zebonka. That's it. So you're awful and crappy guitarist, you're trying to play on the instrument that you don't have to touch even, right?
No, I'm not Robbie Williams, but when you came to say "You all are idiots! Especially you Serry!" - that offends me, I don't know why, but offends...
Opinion is a funny word for you? Well, this is where the discussion is over - good luck in your future life and use this rule ("opinion is just a funny word!") with any man/woman you'll ever meet.
(Room was empty, but when you came in - it became a room full of idiots, and you're still alone there... But it's "on a level you can't possibly understand")
P.S. Please don't reply on this - I'm an idiot too and not an ordinary idiot, but an idiot with terrible English. No-one is interested to read our stupid fights here. Amen.

HOO boy, read this one before going out this morning!
"Is it supposed to be funny? Well, it is not."
Are we talking about 'Face it Alone'? Jesus... get a grip. The 'Face it Alone' injoke that gets mentioned here is no funnier than the one about the poster with bad English, or whatever. People chuckle over it, or at least pretend to - it hurts no one, leave it be.
"I know who's singer Robbie Williams"
Hahahaha.
"and I don't know the guitarist Zebonka."
Do you HONESTLY think I'd go under a name like Zebonka? I picked it because it was the first thing to come to mind when I regirstered in this marvellous microcosm of humanity.
"That's it. So you're awful and crappy guitarist"
Ease off on the fuckwit throttle hombré. As I pointed out (or failed to, rather) I am better on guitar than Robbie Williams is at singing. Look, this is not a bigheaded thing to say. I suck at juggling. He sucks at singing. I don't know what you suck at, but I know you're probably great at something else. Same with Robbie Williams - but just as people have every right to appreciate him, I've the right to say 'nah, he's crap'.
No, I'm not a crappy guitarist. Idiot.
Look we're all good at something, whether it's because of divine intervention or just years of practise... who knows. Obviously not you buddy.
'...you're trying to play on the instrument that you don't have to touch even, right?"
You remind me of that Nuno guy that was on the remixes forum.
"No, I'm not Robbie Williams, but when you came to say "You all are idiots! Especially you Serry!" - that offends me, I don't know why, but offends..."
HAHAHAHA, when exactly did I say that? Can you point me to that post? I'm only ragging on you now because you're disproportionately flabberghasted and it's a hoot.
"Opinion is a funny word for you?"
... Jesus. It's like trying to help a one legged man down a flight of stairs. He knows he needs the help, but he's too proud to accept it. I was just poking fun, making merry - you must feel awfully persecuted or lack serotonin for everything to be so... serious. Go watch some Black Books, it's a damned funny show. Shitloads funnier than me anyway.
"Well, this is where the discussion is over"
HAHAHAHA... ok. When I throw some racial taunts around, direct sexual connotations towards a minor, and majorly piss off the guy that runs the site - then the discussion is over. As hard as it is for you to understand, you don't have control over this. Sure, you can leave, exercise your right to ignore me, just looks lazy is all.
"good luck in your future life"
I don't need your luck mate. But thankyou for the thought.
"and use this rule ("opinion is just a funny word!") with any man/woman you'll ever meet."
Look... you've totally missed the point there too. The opinion that Robbie Williams is not all bad is actually quite hilarious. He sounds like a buzzsaw. I heard him on the radio this morning, I thought he wasn't being serious. But no. He was.
"(Room was empty, but when you came in - it became a room full of idiots, and you're still alone there... But it's "on a level you can't possibly understand")"
And by posting in it, you invalidate your own statement that I'm alone in a room of idiots. There's nothing I don't understand, except war and politicians. Even then I understand it, I just don't give a fuck because I've better things to do!
"Level I can't possibly understand..." funny. I think I've heard that somewhere.
"P.S. Please don't reply on this"
Oh yes. I remember somebody in the "Freddie's Ring" thread told me to stop replying to them - each time, replying to ME in order to do so.
