Lord Teeth huh? Why the hell are you on a Queen site if you want to ridicule Freddie? Could it be you have nothing better to do than beat a dead horse? That's the kinda comment somebody makes when they are losing an argument...Steve Perry?? ha ha...[/QUOTE] I don't know who was the best singer in rock history, but something to keep in mind is freddie sang a lot of different styles on stage from hard rock, "tie your mother down" then ballads, "love of my life" while perry pretty much sang the same style ballad/pop music. Of course if freddie sang only songs like love of my life and is this the world we created?...he would have had a much easier time, but going from one extrem to another would cause most singers problems. Just a thought.

Just because he didn't sing and didn't hit the higher notes as same as he did on the original albums doesn't mean he was not great live. I don't mean to be a blind worshiper of him. But well, I'm thinking of their live setlists, for instance, he sings '39 cheerfully and on the same stage he sings Sheer Heart Attack kind of violently. Or he sings Love Of My Life emotionally and on the same stage he does Body Language thrillingly. In one stage his vocals make you smile or even laugh, thrill you, entertain you, cheer you up, make you cry, give you peace of mind, inspire you, make you feel released...not always that many, but very often...and that's why I've never got bored with his even in the live stages. Actually, I can't tell who's better, but there are very few who could do so like him.

In which case Lord Teeth was "pretty damny childish", because he used to come up with some rather silly nicknames for others (Gemma, Phoebe, Maggie...)

Well I know another guy who's a big Thunder fan and he said Bowes is definitely a huge PR fan.
Besides, my ears don't fool me. I can hear it.

Also I found this from www.allrightnow.com

Lead singer Danny Bowes
When asked what was the first gig he ever went to? How old were you? What was it like?
His reply was
Bad Company December '74
- Rainbow London
"I remember every moment..."

So it stand to reason that he was influenced by PR, like every blues-rock stylist has been.

Wow I made a typo....maybe you and that Valensian fucker should go have a sausage party and let us know how it went ya Quier......By the way I misspelled it on purpose so I could leave ya something to comeback with....Either that or get him some pom pom's as he likes cheering for ya like a little high school bitch would...Give me an F......Give me an A.......Give me a G....I'll leave the spelling of those letter's to you since your such the English Teacher....Ballz on your chin again.....PEACE

Yes! I have a friend, who is a singer, and, she always used to say that Freddie had an amazingly beautiful voice, but, needed to learn how to control it during live performances. She believed some training would have accomplished this.
In my, admittedly, untrained opinion, Freddie's voice is so expressive, and, powerful, it blended perfectly with Brian's guitar to make the unique Queen sound. As far as his live perforances: I can tell you that Queen songs are very difficult to sing(for an average singer, certainly), and, I imagine, even for Freddie, singing those already difficult songs, whilst prancing about in the heat for extended periods of time, must have made it difficult to hit some of those notes gracefully.
I have actually heard very very few singers who sound half as good live as they do on the albums(I'm old), and, I'm quite certain, were I to list them here, I'd be mocked mercilessly![QUOTE][QUOTENAME]<b><font color=B22222>daria wrote: [/QUOTENAME]In the post-war popular music genre, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and some other 50s music singers&performers are/were naturally technically better than Freddie and can be counted to the greatest voices of all time (note: in the post-war pop music genre). Freddie had an amazing voice and great talents, but he had no vocal training. If he would have been trained, he really could have sounded "like God". Or he would have become an opera singer.[/QUOTE]
