He really pissed of the LGBT etc crowd because he never really advertised his sexual proclivities and refused to propagandize for the cause.

It’s a long song, if you want to cut to the chase skip ahead to about 2:00 and turn up the volume.

LONG SONG?!?! I’VE LOVED that song since I was 12 in ‘80!!!

32 guitar tracks used for the end solo!!!!

Fat Bottomed Girl was actually a nickname for one of his guitars!!!

My long lost brother!! :)

The Lord God has already NAMED all the heavenly bodies.
Naming stars is an exercise in futility. The Psalms

I didn’t know that! Fat Bottom Girl huh?
Freddie was embarrassed by his buck teeth, sometimes covered his mouth, like a Vietnamese.

Yeah, those boys could rock.

I’m pretty sure in the Mark Wahlburg movie `Rock Star’ the “Steel Dragons” were based on Queen.
In a Brazil show they ran Freddie off the stage, they were so outraged by his costume and mincing around and well, you know.

I didn’t know any of things. Cool.

They were GREAT! :)

You had to accept Freddie for what he was to like Queen.

They were a band. A great band.

BTW, I LOVE the rhythm guitar in Another One Bites The Dust

Favorites are I Want It All, The Show Must Go On, Somebody To Love, Sweet Lady...and a couple of the fruity tunes that I’ll take to my grave!! :)

I could never approve of the lifestyle that led to Freddie getting that terrible disease. Our choices do have consequences...but I do love the music of Queen.

He had a God-given talent with music, even if he was a horrible sinner. That can be said of most popular musicians.

Barack will get a Black Hole named after him.
An ever expanding mass of nothingness.

Wifey, font of all useless musical trivia, tells me the fictitious band was based off Judas Priest.
