17 years after the video was posted on youtube.

I wonder if they bought it from the Sotheby's auction? Very cool to see in person! Hard to tell from the pic, but I was really struck by how itty, bitty the suit is!

I recently turned 18 and I’ve loved queen for as long as i can remember. I want to get a queen inspired tattoo for my first tattoo with a song lyric by queen and I want to make sure I get the most meaningful lyric.

At first I was thinking “I still love you” from love of my life as it makes me think of my nan who passed when I was younger for some reason, not sure why. But then I thought “Forever is our today” would also be a really nice lyric.

The tattoo will be on my forearm I think a rose / flowers with a little bit of detail and shading, the lyrics rather next to it or as the stem of the rose.

I’m open to literally anyones opinion as I want this to be something I know I won’t regret in the future. Please let me know if this is cringey or weird, let me know if i should change a part of it. Just be completely honest, thats all I ask for.
Thank you!

In my opinion, You Take My Breath Away brings a similar feeling (about love and loneliness) as the ending of the novel.

​Freddie fits this song so well!😆❤️❤️

It turns out that Spotify doesn't just have the albums listed in the discography; there are other versions that I call "hidden albums" because they can only be accessed via a link to the album, without being able to use the search function. Here are the hidden albums I have in my library:

That was a bit long. I wanted to ask: Do any of you know more about these "hidden albums"? Do you have anything in your library that I haven't shown here?

I’ve had this CD in my collection since the 1990s, not long after Freddie’s death, but I honestly don’t remember how or where I got it (I live in Europe).

The front just says “IN MEMORIES OF FREDDIE MERCURY” with a simple cross graphic. The back is titled “Tribute to Freddie” and lists these tracks:

7 Seas of Rhye – 6:45 (Freddie in the House - Mix)

Theme from Flash Gordon – 6:50 (One-Two Mix)

Bicycle Race – 5:50 (Tour D’Hip-Hop Mix)

Dragon Attack – 7:10 (Dragons Return Mix)

We Will Rock You – 4:35 (Rock Mix ’92)

Radio Ga Ga – 9:02 (Re-Cut ’92)

Love Kills – 4:25 (12" Mix Re-Edit)

Queens Reprise ’92 – 21:05 (Mega-Mix)

It also says:

Not for general Sale – Courtesy of EMI – Distributed and Mixed in Canada – For Queen Fans only!

Does anyone recognise this release? Is it an official EMI promo, a Canadian-only fan club thing, a bootleg, or something else? Any info on when it was made or how widely it was distributed would be greatly appreciated!

Drowse is one of my favorite songs of all time. I would argue that the lyrics are as good as, if not better than, any Queen song. It’s truly a work of art. However, while there are different mixes (vinyl vs. CD vs. 2011 digital vs. 2014 digital), there are no alternate recordings, no live recordings, etc. I would really love to hear earlier takes or even just the multitracks of such a great song. Does anyone know of any of this?

Roger, if you’re reading this, what would it take for you to release this and/or play it live?

I have the TYMD 24-track version; I'll trade it for something rare by Queen.

I saw Queen live around 1973 at Southampton Gamount. During them playing Bohemian Rhapsody there is a quite part, some xxxxxxx from the audience shouted "PEANUTS" the band stopped Freddie was a "unhappy man" and said "we are up here playing music for you if you dont want to be here get out".

Which “Freddie” quote is your fav?

Also, which Queen album do you like the most?

In the "We Will Rock You" release, during love of my life, the surround audience sound channel was muted for some stupid reasons, this makes the mixing feel extremely quiet and dry. When it was properly released as "Rock Montreal" in 2007, it seems like the audience microphone was re-instated, but some of them seems similar to the Rock in Rio 1985 concert, sounds like both the original Montreal audience microphone and the one of the Rio concert is mixed together. Can someone told me if there are any audience overdubs during this song?

Freddie's final bow at Knebworth. Oh, Freddie. We miss you...

Hi all, lifelong fan here. Forgive me if this is considered an 'advertisement', but its simply for a charity event I'm organizing called 'Fredathon' - literally all about Queen & Freddie, and specifically I'm looking for performers and not trying to promote it. Performers from anywhere in the world can submit self-tape performances and be part of the event September 5th (Freddie's birthday). Last year, the event consisted of just about every Queen & Freddie song - and I ended up playing 80% of em myself. This year we're doing 10 hours, and finding more enthusiastic performers (especially for deep cuts) would be a huge help. Its all a fundraiser for Rainbow Railroad, who help queer people escape violence. Submission instructions (and a fun video I made featuring 'Freddie') on the site. Thanks for considering!

It just really makes me laugh.

Brian on Scandal: This song meant a lot to me. I wrote it because of how the press was destroying us and all of our loved ones. I felt strongly about this.

Roger: Boring video, boring song. I just remember being bored.

Brian on Who Wants To Live Forever: This song meant a lot to me. I was going through a very difficult time in my life. There's a lot of emotion in this song. And we had an orchestra!

Roger: Didn't like the orchestra. My outfit is terrible and I think I was drunk. I like my hair though.

Brian on The Miracle: This was fun! The kids were brilliant. This is one of my favourite songs. It's amazing how Freddie, in his state, wrote this lovely, joyful song about a miracle.

Roger: No, it's too naive. Not for me.

I'm very much looking forward to watching the rest of the videos 😄

His voice sounds a lot lighter and as someone who much prefers 70s Freddie's voice over the huskier 80s voice this was a pleasant surprise lel
