1. well who wrote them then?
2. they had more pop hits than rock hits...
3. he was....he hadn't slept with a woman since about 84
4. queen only ever made two proper heavy metal songs...the rest were rock/prog/rock or pop songs[/QUOTE]
1. That they only wrote those songs and nothing else. Some people actually think that.
2. Yeah, sadly... But their best songs was their old, heavy tracks.
3. The whole thing of that he was so crazilly (is that a word?) in love with Mary quite proves the fact that he fucked both sexes. But I know he prefered men.
4. No way. Their first 2 albums are littered with metal, and then they did come up with really heavy songs every once in a while. They are counted as British Metal among others by the experts and by me.

Ummm... Freddie was said to have had sex with 4 or 5 women in his life, the last time this happened was late 1983, early 1984, and hadn't banged Mary since the mid-70's.
Same sources estimate before Freddie settle down to a monogamous relationship with Hutton, he was the top and bottom to the tune of 3,000-4,000 men as Phoebe claims it was not uncommon when he first became Fred's personal assist. for Fred to literally wear out 3 men, and be calling out to Phoebe to go get him "2 more hunks."
Just a hunch.... but I'd say our Freddie was somewhat homosexual.
Once Freddie came to terms with his homosexuality, I think he was about as sexually turned on by women as Donald Trump is to Rosie O'Donell.

Yes, that's really true. In Argentina a lot of people think that Freddie is Queen. They say: "This guy is Queen". The other band members are just company musicians.

I agree with all these misconceptions etc. I don't have to deal with as much of it but for reasons of the program I am in in school (G.A.T.E.) I don't have to deal with these as much anymore as I have had virtually the same class for 4 years and I have made them listen to learn about and learn to love Queen lol (seeing as I never shut up about them they didn't really have a choice :D)

I agree...with THAT and the gay thing...but also...I hate that people assume that just because Freddie was gay...that he's like untalented and he got AIDS and no one cares...and he wasn't important....and he's missing from music books....and that people like Elvis are more important and talented...and ignorant people....that think that Bohemian Rhapsody is ALL they fucking need on their music lists, Itunes and Ipod...and with that....they have THE BEST OF QUEEN in a papersack. Ignorant idiots I should say. Queen are thought as "Bohemian Rhapsody and nothing else". In my opinion, Bohemian Rhapsody is not such a "WOW" song....People don't realize that there is just so much more to Queen than Bohemian Rhapsody. But they don't care. All they need is that one "golden jewel" and their collections are complete...and what is that golden jewel you ask? Bohemian Rhapsody of course. Ok..sorry completely off topic...
But still...another misunderstood thing about Queen is just...the fact that they are ignored...some people just make a general statement "Who in their right mind would call their band Queen with 4 guys? They are probably all dead...Gay....and maybe one of the old geezers is still alive or something...but anyways...we don't care....we are just ignorant people". Another thing: Genre misunderstanding. Let me tell ye.....I was conversing with my *friend* in class yesterday....enlightening conversation it was...Oh yes...especially after she called Queen *POP* WTF???? "Oh yes...I don't like Queen...they are too opera-ish" (which brings us to another misunderstanding about Queen being OPERA just because of the name of their album ANATO)...Ok..."They aren't hard rock at all"
WTF you loser? They are rock....you can look it up...and even listen to it if you want. But *sigh* "NO THANKS". :D...
Another misunderstanding: Queen's sometimes silly song names. People just judge right away. and songs with names like "Tie your Mother Down" throw people off, and make them think Queen is some emo band or something...and Freddie Mercury sounds like Michael Jackson. LOL. WTF. I'll stop my rambling now. Sorry for the long passage. XD
OMG. One more thing. Ok...since rock is like completely forgotten in America (exaggeration...but you know...Rap music takes over =0)...How come they know of Paul McCartney and John Lennon but they don't know much about Freddie Mercury and Brian May? I mean...I was shocked when we were discussing musicians in class....and Brian May wasn't even mentioned. :(...I mean...I know that Queen messed up in America...but still. =(.[/QUOTE]
Well, I don't think they all know of Paul McCartney... I think they know of John Lennon a lot more.
I know a lot of people who know Freddie Mercury. It's the young kids that don't know much, why would they? Most, not all, listen to new top 40 hits, not classic rock.

It is pathetic that everybody knows who Paul McCartney is, they know who John Lennon was, and they know who Gene Simmons is yet all they can say about Queen is that this guy in the band died of AIDS because he was queer. It shouldn't anger me, but the fact that they were four fantastic musicians who were in some ways more talented than even The Beatles or KISS upsets me. A lot of people just don't understand just how great Queen was and how much chemistry their was. I just hope the band isn't forgotten completely one day. I'd love to know that Queen will be in text books one day just as we read Mozart in music books today. I would love to know that Freddie Mercury will not be forgotten in a 100 years. That's just my opinion, some people might disagree...[/QUOTE]
LoL about the Gene Simmons bit, When I was in middle and elementary school, no one knew who Gene Simmons was. They know of Freddie more than Gene Simmons. In my area a lot of people know who Freddie Mercury is, and usually know he has died. (I'm talking kids know this), but they don't know much about the other members of Queen, and they certainly arn't used to 'band members' as they listen to top 40 solo artists or rappers (eminem, britney spears, hilary duff)

Yeah. There's a whole lot of songs on the albums better than some of their singles, which the US, in particular, would of appreciated more. (Put Out The Fire, Tear It Up, Life Is Real, Gimme The Prize, etc)

NOW, here's one that pisses me off (Sometimes, sometimes I like it though), when they are about to play a Queen song on a classic radio station here in New Hampshire (Q106), they, most of the time, introduce the song ... example "Here's FREDDIE MERCURY AND THE BOYS with ONE VISION"... that's how they usually introduce the songs. Now I know that they know he's in Queen, (It says it on the CDs and vinyls they play), and they talk about Queen often (My area is actually big on Queen, AOBTD is the local school anthem)... but Freddie, and Brian a bit less, are known as 'Queen'... I've heard both mentioned on my radio station, but not John or Roger.
^ Good point. It pisses me off too. "I am now going to play Freddie Mercury and David Bowie's "Under Pressure"...It's like ... STFU! lol...
I've been ticked off this week...about something....
:
1. Queen are a singles band.
2. Queen are pop.
3. Queen died after Hot Space (to some people...in America (right? correct me if I'm wrong)
Ugh. Especially the second one...BLEH.

As a teenager, surrounded by people with severly lacking music tastes, they come up with some intressting misunderstandings:
1) The most common, is that every member of queen was gay... and so many of Queen songs they do recognise are gay anthems!!!
2) The most, well, intressting, they were a bunch of transexuals??? PAthetic, I know
3) They couldnt sing...
5) Queen songs arent "heavy", I know a song dosnt need to be heavy to be good, but when I played Sheer Heart Attack, Brian May's solo Resurrection, Brighton Rock and Modern Times Rock and Roll, while the heaviest, had no ideae Queen wrote such music. THey thought it was all soft rock with pianos (which is just as good, and if not better!)
4) They didnt write the songs, and this is the most concerning. I meet people who think McFly wrote Don't Stop me Now, and more often G4 wrote Bohemiman Rhapsody, everyone knows The Show must go on, but dont realise that Queen wrote it, and similarlly with another one bites the dust, tie your mother down, take my breath away (this is forgiveable, I suppose), we will rock you and we are the champions. Todays ignorant youth.
Hopefully the new Queen+PR album might try and reverse some of the ideas above (but please dont let this thread turn into a debate on the new album just because of that comment)

I was just reading through the posts and something else gave me an idea, Brian's hair is feminine, but wouldnt it be so cool to have a hair style like that?
Well, it isn't nice to comb, believe me
