How did you discover the band queen?

I discovered Queen while walking the track at a relay for life cancer research walk. I heard the song 'Another One Bites the Dust' and asked my friend, who was walking the track with me, what the song was called. I looked it up on itunes and I've been a fan ever since. That happened last year. Before I discoverd Queen my life lacked the gift of music. If you knew me you would think I've been obsessed for years!

To cut my LONG story on how I discovered Queen... I saw them on VH1 one day, Bohemian Rhapsody was the video and I was blown away. Then after the adverts came a 2 hour documentry on Queen. And till this day, I will always say that this documentry has been the best I've seen so far. I've seen quite alot of documentrys in my time of being a Queen fan but this one topped it all.

I was looking at my brother's CD collection and I found the Greatest Hits CD and I borrowed it without asking and never gave it back. I remember thinking, "Wow! This band's really good. I love the singer and the piano player." Then I saw a picture of Queen in the 70's and I thought Brian was Freddie and I was like, "oooohh, he's cute." Then I found out that the singer, piano player, and the cutie from the picture were all Freddie. That's when my obsession started.

By my parents, who are DIE-HARD fans! xD xD xD *sarcasm* YEAH F-ING RIGHT! I discovered it all by my lonesome, 'bout *ponders* 5 years ago..(?) one day on Itunes... :( I listened to WATC, which I knew from the radio, then I started buying CDS. One by one, in order, till I had every single one. I couldn't stop myself from spending money on Queen. I didn't sleep and eat....I was a wreck. My parents hated my obsession, so they took my CD's and memorabilia away. I was sobbing and crying and throwing a fit. Then, one day, I decided to run away....and burn down the house...muahahahaha...*ehem* KIDDING. My collection grew, and I started buying rare stuff. That is my story. THE END. LOL! I was kidding about the 1st part btw...

i had heard bohemian rhapsody numerous times, so i looked it up on the internet...and there was a tribute site that had freddie's quote "i'm just a musical prostitute, my dear!" which made me a)spew my tea everywhere and b)become a queen fan.

I didn't discovered them,when I was born they were already discovered.

I became a Queen fan nearly ten years ago when I heard WATC.

1978 - 7 years old - my brother's "News of the world" LP - he put it aside for his Kiss albums, but I was enthralled by the kelly frears comic book artwork on the cover; i listened to the first song, and was hooked (i was young, didnt even know that wwry was a hit)

Dad used to sing Queen songs to me when I was a baby :) Then I *borrowed* his Queen CD's as soon as I figured out how to use a cd player.

I heard I want it all on the radio when it came out as a single, and decided to get "The Miracle". Then straight into Queen I (since that was the cheapest Queen CD in the store)

Some years ago our English teacher showed us We Are The Campions. I knew the song already but I wanted to hear it again. I started looking for Queen CDs in the whole house until one day I found Greatest Hits I&II. I fell in love with Don't Stop Me Now and I became obsessed. Later I found Made In Heaven and Greatest Hits.

Jeez, I am way too old. In college, a guy down the hall kept playing the "Killer Queen" single over and over and over again. It infected my brain, I ended buying the "Sheer Heart Attack" album, thinking it would be just some decent pop. As soon as I heard those opening chords to "Brighton Rock" I knew I had found a new favorite band.

Coming home from Flamingo Land listening to Headlong in 1999.

Way, way, way back in high school (lets say early 80's). During lunch hour, our school's radio station would play music. I remember the first time I heard WWRY. Everyone was pounding the tables to the beat. I remember thinking, who is this group. I've been a fan ever since.

Without sarcasm, I want to say that that is a great story, that there are still people who become Queen fans after listening to a song that came out more than 25 years ago. It says something about the power and timelessness of Queen's music!
