Queen

Just watching an old concert of Queen live in concert. Hard to believe that Freddie Mercury has been dead for 22 years.. There aren't many who are anything like the performer that he was... and The rest of the band.. Loved every minute of this performance.. Simply wonderful...

Couldn't agree more - a true legend

Freddy was born to entertain, great singer, great personality and great showman. Sadly missed.

Absolutely, couldn't agree more!  I've said in other topics on here before that one of my biggest regrets is not going to see Queen play live before Freddie died.

I met Freddie and have all of the band's autographs. I was only a nipper! Snuck out of the house at 5 in the morning to catch the train to Heathrow to wave them off in their tour of Japan. (Mtmum was furious with me!) Only  10 girlies turned up and we got to speak with them for an hour and  half! I said to Freddie, I love your coat and his camp reply was, " it is Fox darling!"
Saw them 6 times with Freddie,and have been to some of the more recent gigs which were brilliant and the whole show is more of a tribute to him. Paul Rogers from Cream fronted a couple of them he was amazing!
I remember the day Freddie passed, 22 years ago though. How time flies.

Freddy is irreplaceable, no one else has ever come near to his brilliance.A superb showman, the way he got the crowd going at Wembley was absolutely amazing. I have about 10 different shows on dvd and never tire of watching them.

Liked the music, but wot a horrible group of individuals.  They went and played Sun City in South Africa during the apartheid period against the UN Cultural Boycott.

If Freddie (Indian by descent) had been born in South Africa during the apartheid period he have been classed a 'coloured' would never have been allowed to perform and would have been a second class citizen at best, but this didn't make any difference to him as he took the apartheid gold, along with the rest of queen.  Then the cheeky beggars turn up for concerts that were designed to highlight the poverty in Africa... Rank hypocrites they were only interested in re-igniting their careers.

I particularly fell about laughing at the bald cheek of May and co turning up for the Mandella concert, several years later?  Still at least May has got his badgers to keep him warm, but why he has to wear them on his head these days I don't know.
