I still dont understand first that Bitch Jagger stole the part on M Jackson's song State Of Shock then he didnt pay his respects at the FM tribute.. ok whatever.[/QUOTE]
Mick Jagger didn't steal the part, both Jackson and Jagger asked for Mercury's permission. If you don't believe, take a look at the Musical Prostitute interview. I believe Freddie mentioned it in the interview...

THey weren't that close as friends. And they only did one small project together. You could also be asking why Billy Squire or Eddie Howell or Jo Dare weren't there[/QUOTE]
Billy was there, wasn't he? He just didn't perform, but I'm sure he was in the WATC singalong at the end.

They weren't *good* enough for the Freddie Tribute. But that could be said for most of the acts, except Roger Daltrey.
I mean shit! They cancelled the Rock 'n' Roll Circus after one episode, because The Who kicked their arses! It would've been traumatic for him to experience the same thing again.

Yes, you can see Billy (and also some members of the Scorpions) during WATC.

Why is this in Serious discussion?
So in reality this thread is about bringing down one person to elevate another. Freddie doesn't need you to trash Jagger in order to make him look better. Another fucking retarded thread.

I always thought of the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert as a showcase for bands and artists who were influenced by Queen to pay their respects, rather than older rock stars singing Queen hits.
Aside from Daltrey, Plant, Bowie, and Elton John there weren't so many classic rock artists.

I remember a magazine at the time showing Klaus Mine (spelling?) in a picture and asking who the hell had invited him. LOL

No I don't think the Rolling Stones were "too good," for the FM Tribute. As previously stated...they were going through some pretty rocky times at that point between Bill Wyman's departure, and Mick and Keith sorting out their working relationship again...They just weren't there...period.

Klaus Meine.
I remember I wondered why he was there and I asked on this forum and YV I think said it was because Guns N Roses might not of performed due to a lot of threats, so Scorpions were there to replace in case GNR couldn't perform... and that Scorpions became friends of Queen in Freddie's last couple years of life.

I mean, I can see why you're asking, but not everybody could be their.
If you're wondering why the Stones didn't make any kind of statement of Freddie's death or something I don't know. The one thing that strikes me the most is why Micheal Jackson didn't participate. I mean, he was Freddie's friend and musical collaborater. Then again thats just me. Take care.
Steve[/QUOTE]I think Michael was up to his neck in shit from the childmolestor charges...or maybe just on his Dangerous tour...

Michael Jackson was recording the Dangerous album
The FM Tribute Concert was perfect, even with some mediocre performances (Robert Plant comes to mind), any additions would be welcomed, but it was fine the way it was.
Axl Rose, David Bowie and George Michael were on fire that night =)

The show was great, I don't think you could have got any more artists in there, after all they had to cut Chris Thompson's performance of "A Kind of Magic" because the show overran that long (the Met allegedly threatened to arrest anyone who went after so long and they wrapped up the show)
But who would you rather have had, The Stones, or Extreme? Would it have been the same without Metallica opening? Maybe if the show started earlier, without that damn annoying Virgin Atlantic video showing for an hour before the show started there could have been more performers!
(I was there too, about 20 rows from the front, centre stage, in front of the camera enclosure. And I couldn't talk for 2 days after the show either)

I thought Chris' bit was cut because of what happened to the start of the Spinal Tap bit where they had sound problems?
And yes I would have had Extreme instead of the Stones. But then again, I am talking with the benefit of hindsight and knowing that Extreme were very good. Who knows. If the Stones had played they "might" have been just as good if not better than them - its one thing we will never know now thats for sure.
