[QUOTE]: I know from a very reliable source that there was (off course) drugs in Queen. We all know the story why there wasn't an official release of Micheal Jackson and Freddie Mercury of State of Shock. Because Micheal found out that Freddie used cocaine during recording sessions and Micheal didn't want have anything to do with drugs. I think that both Roger and Freddie did used cocaine in their lives. John is unknown but he surely could use some before playing if he was that nervous LOL. in case of Brian I do believe that he never used, it's the same with Roger Daltrey who also never used.[/QUOTE]
Always find posts like this a bit annoying. I mean, you are suggesting that you have a very reliable source (a contact person i guess) but you don't mention annything new.
All you did was summing up the facts we all knew already (and braggin' bout the "fact" that you have a reliable contact close to queen.

Odd coke line? I've read he'd do it a few times a day.
And then Peter Freestone did the drug shopping for him. A pill for that, some potions for this.

I had .....back in the old days, but I won't give you the name because I would harm the trust the person give to me by telling stories, and that person is still a very well known person in the queen circle. But why the negative attitude?You want to know about the lines of boys standing next to Freddies hotel rooms after a concert wich he had, with help of coke? You want to know about the big wallet John took with him after a concert and went to a club with working girls and returned with an empty wallet. You want the stories about Freddie working on Made in Heaven, barely stand on his feet? If you see all my posts(replies) you noticed that I'm very quiet and introspective because I hear many stories here that are really shit. If I tell a story that we allready know (the famous stories like you said) I only do that because there are plenty of odd quuestions about songs that are official or other questions about very well known facts. But every day there are new Queen fans here and for them the stories are new. Don't react so negative

Partly, I understand your point of view: Telling new fans stories wich ,to them, are new. That's a good thing.
The thing I don't understand is that it seems to me that some people within the Queen fan community always feel the need to brag about the contacts, rare recordings, huge collection or whatever they have.
In my honest opinion you are doing this again by saying:

I mean: what's your point?
Like you said:
"but I won't give you the name because I would harm the trust the person give to me by telling stories, and that person is still a very well known person in the queen circle"
If you really do so, why feel the need to talk about it and share some info the person gave you on Queenzone then?
I don't get it.

"YSM told me the other day that................"

"A guy from Queens inner sanctum told me that.........."
Which one has the most credence?
I think Markman38 is just adding a bit of weight to his stories that's all. OK maybe his namedropping (or not) was a bit over emphasized but I wouldnt boil him in oil for that.

@ Ducksoup
I understand your point of view, it is really annoying of people to say I heard from a close contact etc etc . Anyone can say that and at the same time remain in silence over your contact is an easy escape. The point is that I know for myself that the one that told me is/was reliable and close enough to the band to really know. But to mention it souds a tommuch of getting glance over myself by saying see how close I was. Well that was not my meaning of pointing out in this case.
The reason why I told the story about my contact was that drugs is something you can't tell fairytales about. There is always rumour and denying about drugs use because nobody fancy this habbit. Most of the times reading this board I think that a lot of the fans have this ideal picture of the queen members so when it comes to drugs I just want to point out that they where not so ideal after all and not by just saying that, that could just be an innuendo, but by pointing out that it was a fact of history.
The other reaction was a little bit childish because I thought somebody was questining my credibility, while I know I'm telling the truth, but hey you can't know. So I appologise

Well Freddie had a reputation for being a coc-fiend, but other than that, they are a relatively clean rock band. They held their own when it came to alcohol. But yes, I am surprised that drugs didn't inspire them more.
Hi Danny, it is quiet the opposition. I'm a musician too and yes I use drugs too (well not all the time off course I;m not a addict) But using coke gives you the feeling of much more confidence and strenght, your power level is up and you feel king of the world, This feeling lasts foor abou half an hour till an hour (if you had an impressive line)But after that you fall into the trap door and you need more. you alkways know the things you are doing so you can use coke and play. John Entwistle was also a famous coke user to play with the courage he had on stage....chemical courage. But telling you this I am the fisrt one to tell to al people don't use drugs don't do it, if you start it's a hell of way to quit it.
