We all know Freddie is an excellent singer, and we all know that Queen is VERY highly regarded as a top live band. Sometimes though, even the great ones flub up on stage. Post your favorite Queen bloopers/mistakes here: My personal favorites are: * In Vienna 1986, Freddie forgot the lyrics in the first verse of Radio Ga Ga--so he made up some new ones (he replaced the words with "da" for each syllable. * In Japan 1982 (last concert of the Hot Space tour), Freddie played a wrong chord after the rock part of Bohemian Rhapsody and laughed at his own mistake! * During the Rock In Rio performance in 1985, Freddie forgot a line in It's a Hard Life and replaced it with "da's" for each syllable (similar to the Radio Ga Ga error). * Hammersmith 1979 (last concert of the Crazy Tour), Roger Taylor hits his crash cymbal too early during the intro to Don't Stop Me Now. Freddie was smirking for about 2-3 seconds after. * Finally, during a Hot Space concert, Freddie introduces the song Save Me, and Brian forgets to play the piano. Freddie stops singing after the opening line (It started off so well), and said "It didn't start off so f*ckin' well!" |

How about the time Roger forgot the words to I'm in Love With My Car? I forget where it was, but its pretty funny. You can probably youtube it or something. |

Yeah, that video is hilarious! It took Freddie to bring everybody on track! |

There are a few shows where Roger forgets the lyrics and Brian is heard messing up the solo in STL in Paris. Dallas 78 on the opening night Brian introduces Death on Two Legs when Freddie corrects him and had to introduce Somebody to Love. In a lot of fast versions of We Will Rock You Fred gets some of the lyrics backwards but always gets them right at the end of the show. Hell, shit happens! |

I can't remember the show, but it's from a 1979 concert on the Jazz Tour: Freddie missed parts of the lyrics in the We Will Rock You verses and had to pause to get back on track. |

What about Rock In Rio - It's a hard life ? Did Freddie forgot the lyrics or was it intentional ? |

If he was from an English-speaking country, it would make sense to expect him to be grammatically correct, but since he's Brazilian, cut him some frickin' slack. At least we all know what he means. |

Actually, a lot of people born and raised in English-speaking countries still can't write well in their own language. Same for people born and raised in Portuguese-speaking countries, French-speaking countries, etc. I do agree that if somebody's got 10 seconds to write a message with grammatical mistakes, he or she could've also used the same 10 seconds to write it correctly. But I also agree that there's no need to insult another person just because of an error. |

I don't know if they'd be technically bloopers or not, but there are a few fairly hilarious versions of '39 on youtube where Brian, Freddie and Roger all struggle to reach the high notes, and the resulting sounds are very funny...to me at least. |
| Gregsynth 04.11.2009 15:09 |
Could you link them? lol |
| Vandango 04.11.2009 15:27 |
yeah a link would be nice |
| Dusta 04.11.2009 20:25 |
Ah. Sorry about the lack of links. I can only youtube at the office(my home pc doesn't like youtube). Plus it was my understanding that we were to post youtube links only in the youtube thread? So when I originally posted to this thread, I didn't include the links. Will try and get back here while at the office tomorrow and post a few links. Anyhow, a simple search of, "Queen '39 live," will yield you several humerous videos. There is also one of Freddie in his fancy harlequin leotard, red socks and ballet slippers. In that particular video, Roger, it seems, is unable to take his eyes off of Freddie's...outfit...for a time...Houston, maybe? That alone is quite funny! The expression on Roger's face is quite telling! |

An obvious one is from the original We Will Rock You (Montreal) VHS release, on one of the nights Freddie clearly forgets to sing on part of Killer Queen (although they dubbed the other night's performance of that part, but bizarrely left the visual on where he isn't singing!) |

I got the video version up! |
