no haven't seen them live!! i don't even know their stuff, just the hits!! they've got some quality tunes & i really need to check them out properly sometime

i was watching a documentry over last couple of nights, great footage on it. freddie was AMAZING performer & his spandex was soo tight!! he was a special bloke.

i remember this, look at the crowd, beyond cool... could it ever be matched?

he had some teeth on him but that bloke could sing!! & move

There was an amazing 2-part documentary on Queen on BBC2 a few days ago and someone posted the full doc on Youtube - check it out if you have any interest in Queen and/or Freddie Mercury - a lot of rare footage and "new" info that I never knew before despite being a huge Queen fan.

Part 1 (covers the period from the beginning of Queen in 1971 to the Game album in 1980):

Part 2 (1980-present day):

He had an absolutely gorgeous voice.

Thanks! I still miss ole Freddy! What a kinetic stage presence and an amazing performer.

I love riding in my vehicle on the way to work when the radio station I always listen to plays "Bohemian Rhapsody." When the DJ man plays "Another one bites the Dust," the rhythms energize my day.

When these songs come on, I turn up the sound alap (look in my rear-view mirror intermittently for the riders in blue) and enjoy the way Freddie's voice dances over the instruments. QUEEN GREATNESS is still alive and well.

Yes, I appreciate the life our individual God gave to the man FREDDIE MERCURY, x infinity.

I love Freddie! I miss the band and I miss his beautiful voice. I have all their cd's, but I sometimes think about the music we've missed out on since his death.

Eye cant remember where eye heard it & it could b wrong?????????but someone said prince used 2 watch queen b4 he went on stage???2 get him reved up??u ever heard this or is it jusy bs??.

I just caught up with that documentary and had tears streaming down my face at the end. I remember becoming a big Queen fan when Freddie died (I was only 10). In the same way people always remember where they were when Kennedy was shot, the 3 I will always remember are Freddie Mercury, Princess Diana and Michael Jackson.

I'd love to see the big Wembley tribute concert again as I only saw it once on TV at the time.

yeah i remember reading on the org that during a tour in the 80's he stayed in a stately home somewhere in uk... the staff said he would watch queen vids all day

i can understand it, freddie's performance has me spellbound too!! i can't take my eyes off his thing either!!

i'm suprised he never tripped over it. wow his tach is so luxurious

these live aid clips are beaut! check out his major air guitar

That was a great documentary. Just wish it was longer as Queen's history is so long and interesting LOL.

Great that they mentioned "hot space" and how Taylor didn't like it LOL. Also great that they mentioned how dumb MTV were banning one of their best videos "I want to break free", despite playing other effeminate videos like Motley Crue, David Lee Roth and Whitesnake etc.. at the time. I guess as Queen actually dressed up in drag as just opposed to looking like they did was seen as too offensive for MTV? Ridiculous and that killed them forever in the US.

Also surprised they touch on the Sun city thing. I think I saw a clip of Hall and Oates calling them out at the time. Bad move by Queen, though as they (or probably Freddie) had said, they were never, ever a political band. Still a dubious thing to do at the time though.
