80's Freddie or 70's Freddie?
| lifetimefanofqueen 24.06.2010 10:27 |
here's a good Question, when did you prefer Freddie? his glam look in the 70's or his signature moustache look in the 80's? For me, hmmm, I love both! but I probably like 70's Freddie. yay. XD you? |
| Marina K. 24.06.2010 10:43 |
special charm in his youth, special charm in his mature age - impossible to choose.. |
| Princess140686 24.06.2010 10:49 |
When you Love somebody no matter his appearance ! Freddie 70' or Freddie 80'...it's FREDDIE !!!!!! ..and I love him since 26 years..... |
| Kacoblin 24.06.2010 14:49 |
I will still love Freddie no matter how much hair he's got on his head or above his lip. |
| andreas_mercury 24.06.2010 21:19 |
freddie of 1991 you see the dignity |
| Saint Jiub 24.06.2010 21:41 |
70's - Freddie's songwriting ability was never the same after The Game. |
| Gregsynth 24.06.2010 22:17 |
I prefer 1980s Freddie. He had the mustache, and that mustache gave him the powers of replicating his songs live! lol |
| plumrach 25.06.2010 02:54 |
I like him more in the 80's than the 70's but he was just a magnificent all round person and sorely missed |
| lifetimefanofqueen 25.06.2010 04:46 |
yes, Freddie is sorely missed indeed :=( WE MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH FREDDIE!!!!!!!!!! WHY YOU, TELL ME WHY YOU, COULDNT IT HAVE BEEN SOMEONE EVIL!!!!!!!! :=( |
| LordOfAllDarkness 25.06.2010 12:05 |
70s Freddie indeed |

80's freddie Although if you think about it Freddie radically changed his look and the 80's freddie did not really resemble the 70's Freddie, he appeared more grown up and more reserved I think, at least during interviews anyway, on stage he was still the master |
| Over the Field 29.06.2010 14:57 |
70's Freddie especially the Queen I - Day at the Races period (long hair, glam stuff) |
| skip 01.07.2010 02:45 |
'70s Much better music. |
| andreas_mercury 01.07.2010 04:06 |
very true although even the worst queen is better than the best kiss ...... end of discussion. |
| mike hunt 01.07.2010 11:58 |
Songwriting, vocal arrangements obviously 70's. live performance, vocal power 80's Appearance, 1973-76, Then 80-86 |
| Major Tom 01.07.2010 12:13 |
BOTH darling! |

| Holly2003 02.07.2010 05:51 |
Don't really give a hoot what he looked like but the music was certainly better in the 70s. He was more ambitious, and more willing to take risks with Queen stuff. However, Barcelona was new and interesting, so who knows what direction his solo career would've gone. Probably more interesting that Brian's forthcoming concept album about a world ruled by badgers ... |
| andreas_mercury 02.07.2010 06:36 |
" "Revenge", "Destroyer", "Creatures Of The Night", "Alive" Heavier than anything Queen ever released." heavy yes ..... weighed down with crappy music. |
| mike hunt 02.07.2010 06:54 |
Let's not get into this Queen vs kiss bullshit. not worth arguing. I agree with holly about barcelona....easily freddie's best stuff since his heyday of the 70's. Of course the album isn't for everyone....some might find cabelle's voice a bit much, but for what it's worth Even queen 2 isn't for everyone. Doesn't mean it's not amazing. No question if freddie lived longer we would have seen more great albums like barcelona..albums that no one else could have made. Of course the ham couldn't resist another dance album that would have made his fans cringe like mr. bad guy. |

I definitely agree that musically he was better in the 70's than the 90's (lookswise, probably the 70's as well), but he still had some great moments in the 80's. Even on AKOM, IMO Queen's weakest album, he contributed arguably one of Queen's best hard rock songs in Princes of the Universe, and he was great on several other songs such as PISCTP, FWBF and WWTLF. 'Probably more interesting that Brian's forthcoming concept album about a world ruled by badgers ...' Ha! Good one. :D |

All great bands have a weak album or two. Nothing wrong with that. |

So Queen isn't a great band then (since you hate Hot Space)? |
| andreas_mercury 04.07.2010 05:36 |
"At least I didn't pay money to go see a band that I dislike." you are an idiot my friend, i like kiss and it is not even my fault that i pay tickets to see their show (to see a great show) and all i get is raspy singing and a bad sound. oh and fireworks but maybe that will fix everything, right .... |

Who say's Queen has two bad albums?.......and any band that was around for over 10 or 20 years have released a few weaker albums. The stones?......almost every kiss album was weak....Especially the 80's to the present....that's a lot of bad shit, more than 1 or 2 albums for sure. Even the who towards the end were not releasing the greatest albums in the world. A band usually only has about 8 prime years. |
| freddiefan91 05.07.2010 02:55 |
Freddie probably wrote better songs in the 70s ie for example Boh Rap, We are the Champions, Killer Queen and Somebody to Love but he also wrote some great songs in the 80's, Its a hard life, play the game and princes of the universe come to mind Also i see the subject of Hot Space has come up again but its still a decent album, its because people are used to Queen being a rock band that they don't particularly like an album which is more of a funk/dance album I know some people wont agree but if we all agreed on everything it would be a very boring world |

you didn't answer the post i wrote, though. how can you explain to me that the show of kiss i just paid to see was so awful? |
| matt z 06.07.2010 16:37 |
70's mercury... less drugs, smoke and booze, aspiring artists chances and hopes = better music. not that the 80's music was bad... that had it's great moments, but for THE FIRST TIME [on the works] exhibited a "ehh.. i'm gonna skip that one..." from me.. GREAT? HELL YEA... INFALLIBLE?... nah Plus... that gay clone moustache... not like it's the biggest thing...nothing against "queers"... but it kinda got cartooned more than the glam days... TO THIS I POSIT A QUESTION: WHY DOESN'T ANYONE RAG ON JOHN DEACON'S RADIO GA GA FRO? C'mon... you can't tell me that old tripe that no one pays attention to the bassist! |

how can you explain that kiss played alright but the singing was awful at the last show I went to? |

They had to drop three of his songs at a couple of the shows on the tour. Even with Paul not at 100% the audiences had a great time. You didn't. No big deal. |

The Works and AKOM are IMO Queen's two weakest studio albums, but I think they are vastly superior to plenty of non-Queen albums. Not to mention that every Queen studio album features at least two songs (and often more) which IMO are terrific. If I presented someone a compliation covering Queen's entire career, I could easily find room for every album (with the possible exception of Flash, however that doesn't count). skip wrote: 'They sure weren't perfect.' No artist is. In fact, I wouldn't want Queen to be perfect. If they were, they probably wouldn't have been as bold. |

I prefer 70s Freddie. I love the way he looked. I also love the way he dressed.I think he looked okay in the 80S.He was hot alway. |
| plumrach 12.07.2010 02:49 |
The works is one of my favorite albums, i dont think its weak at all, half the songs on the album are brilliant and the other 5 are still quite good Radio Gaga - Excellent Hammer to Fall - Excellent Its a hard life - Excellent I want to break free - Excellent Is this the world we created - beautiful Tear it up - love it |

These 6 are brilliant!!!And you call them weak? So what the hell you call the album weak?! And Hot Space for me ISN'T A BAD ALBUM! Just an experiment, just another style. |
| john bodega 14.07.2010 04:07 |
I don't think the guy should be crucified for having creative ups and downs, in either case. Even if someone thinks Hot Space is a flaming pile of crap, I think the guy more than earned his right to go and record whatever the hell he wanted. He made up for it with Innuendo. |
| Marina K. 14.07.2010 07:14 |
totally agree with Zebonka12 |

Of course it's all opinion anyway. |

The way the songs sounded at live at the bowl.....As it is, it's still a fun record. I go on long road trips by myself, the road and my music.. Hot space got quite the spins on my long drives. One of their weaker albums for sure, doesn't have many clear cut classics like most others have, but still is a cool album. Only the 'coolcats" could appreaciate this one. |
