Of course. Did you look at the video? Does Freddie look healthy there?

At that time, I'm sure the rest of the band knew Freddie was HIV positive and had AIDS. In fact, they probably knew of Freddie's disease on the Miracle album.

Now, whether or not that scene was supposed to have symbolic meaning or not is debatable. To me, it looks like 4 coffins stacked on top of one another, symbolizing the death of Queen.

If thats true, thats really deep...I always just thought it meant they were going headlong...well, the song has a sexual meaning, if you just listen to the lyrics...lol, talking about hotdog stands, and sticks in his hands...lol

yes, the song is written by Brian and Innuendo is not all about saying goodbye. These Are The Days en The Show Must Go On are, the rest isnt I think. 100% sure that the band knew about Freddie's illness during The Miracle.

By the way, at the time they recorded this Headlong video, in dec 1990, they already recorded the whole Innuendo album. When you read the stories of Brian on his soapbox last month about recording The Show Must Go On, they knew that Freddie was in a terrible shape. http://www.brianmay.com/brian/brianssb/brianssbmar06a.html#10
A very impressive story...

I always get sad about Freddie dealt with the situation. In these days its possible to stay alive with HIV and i wished that he was here so much...
You ain't seen nothing 'till your down on the muffin...;)
My favorite band memeber in the headlong video....JOHN!!!! For some reason he's just so cute in this video to me, lol

I doubt they thought that much about it. If you can get John Edwards to contact Freddie he'll probably tell you how ridiculous that is.
I have never seen this video. What DVD is it on?

Common...!!! Coffins??? GET REAL !!!!!!... Why would they use those?! It's just a video... I don't think Freddie wanted to make such a big deal of his illness...

THERE ARE JUST SHELVES !!!

COFFINS?
Thanks Jellybean for the link. Unfortunately, my computer plays a few seconds then spools for a minute, plays a few seconds, spools, etc. Do you know if there is a way to get the file to play on Realplayer or another media player?

Yes, but you can get it on VHS and DVD. What's wrong with people today being so cheap and not buying official stuff?
"Please buy my upcoming album... I need the money"
Dear Leah: If you read my original question "I have never seen this video. What DVD is it on?" you will see that the answer I got was the reply from Jellybean giving the link to YouTube. No one said it was available on DVD. No, I am not too cheap to buy it!!! I have no idea what to buy. Don't insinuate I'm cheap, you didn't even read what I asked. So, back to the original question, what DVD is this on?

I'm not sure what DVD it's on, but for the youtube thing to work - with whatever video you choose to watch - you should let it load first. That might take several minutes. Wait until the light gray bar reaches at least 3/4 of the way through before hitting 'play'. That should prevent the starts and stops you mentioned.
