At abut the 5:30 mark he mentions 4 or 5 pst innuendo songs....where the other ones besides the 3 on the album shit? why havent we heard them or did he just mispeak
It could mean a number of things: unreleased material, unusable material, songs without Fred such as 'Lost Opportunity' or, simpler yet, a misrecollection.
Someone on Queenonline posted an interview with Brian just after Freddie's passing, in which BHM made reference to 10+ unfinished tracks that may or may not see the light of day. I've been trying to find that interview since I first saw it, about 18 months ago, but to no avail. It was in PDF format.
After many years he just misremembered the exact amount. Since they've said many times that Freddie asked them to write more songs and wanted to work until the end, it would make absolutely no sense for them to "hide" that stuff, basically disproving their own words.
Ian, there are probably more than 10 unfinished songs in the archive - things like 'Love Makin' Love' which ended up on the Freddie solo compilation, and other things like Face it alone, which doesn't have enough on it to be finished.
I think any useable songs with Freddie on them have probably been released, or are the remaining Michael Jackson tracks. Let's not hold our collective breath. Or he misremembered. Remember he did say '200 000 people' about Knebworth, but the official count was 120,000, so you're not saying that 80,000 were unaccounted for at that concert.... I think it's just a euphemism for a few, an indeterminate number. The 4 or 5 songs reference that is, not the 200,000.... that means 'a lot' ;-)
I don't mean to sound disrespectful to someone who isn't here, but David Richards sounds pretty mashed on this interview, drunk I mean, and in 2011 on the Days of Our Lives documentary, he looked completely hammered.

The man was battling cancer at the time, a battle which he sadly lost. Do your research before you start shouting insults.
Sorry, I didn't mean it as an insult, I meant it purely as an observation. If he was battling cancer at the time, the chances are he was mashed on medication, effects from the disease, fatigue, effects from the treatments.
If he was mashed on alcohol, I wouldn't blame him either, given the circumstances. My mistake, and I'm sorry I created a stir.
Sorry David Richards.
