I want your opinion about wich member of Queen comes across as the most intelligent one through interviews and footage of them "work and play". John Deacon perhaps should be excluded due to his decision to keep a low profile. |

"excluted"... irony alert... :/ |
| Flash Jazz 07.06.2013 09:14 |
Brian without doubt |
| mooghead 07.06.2013 09:19 |
Define 'intelligent', if it is about qualifications then Dr. Brian wins. They were all hugely intelligent. Being able to just write music requires a certain level of intelligence (not including people like the Spice Girls and Robbie Williams who have song writing credits for rhyming a few words...) |

it's hard to define intelligence mirroring the amount of quality music they provided to the band. i think freddie was quite a genius for delivering vocals in a unique exact way that they phrase different takes. that's awesome! in terms of songwriting i think that either freddie aswell as roger did their work on a more emotional way while brian used to reflect his kind of work. john indeed fills the gaps with a phenomenal playing of his instrument (well, at least in the 70s)... i think the phenomenon queen is based on a balanced way to bring emotional and reflected states of progress in terms of work into a most adorable kind of value. no need to discuss who has done what in no matter. the kind of individuals working as a group is the intelligence in terms. |

Oh sure...Brian...with no common sense. |

The question was formulated as "who has appeared the most intellectual in interviews and videos", not in music. |

His way of speaking comes across well, and I really love is voice! It's easy to listen to and he comes across very gentleman like in a way. I know, he doesn't have the best memory. |

hi, i am new here. i think freddie is the most intelligent member of queen even in interviews. he comes across as genuine, and has very intelligent and natural responses to most questions. everybody can relate to his honesty and appreciate his ideas. brian on the other hand always feels the need to give the correct answer, the 'desirable' answer. (i am talking about queen interviews, not his political or badger view) |
| AlbaNo1 08.06.2013 14:50 |
Id say Freddie by some distance. He appeared sharp as a tack in some interviews when he wasnt being flippant , such as in the one prior to Live Aid. |
| Missreclusive 08.06.2013 22:17 |
I was being sarcastic when I said Brian. I honestly think Freddie, John and Roger, in that order. I think Brian is a total egomaniac with book smarts who plays guitar rather well. Freddie had drive and brilliance ...full of life and intelligence. I know I'll get yelled at but to go all out for badgers?? At least Brian had enough intelligence to remain in a band with Freddie. Off subject, I think Brian tolerated Freddie but never really liked him. end of thread, LOL |

Brian's the most intelligent one, surely. Now - that might not seem to sit well with his ridiculous outbursts on the Soapbox over the years, but I think those have more to do with well-documented human behavioural patterns. He's a man of above-average intelligence, and he's developed a world view that he is absolutely certain is correct. After a few decades of being indignant about how fucked the world is, he throws a few wobblies. There's an actual name for it, and I have no idea what it is, but I think it's at the root at why a lot of 'progressives' are actually abusive, intolerant eggheads. It's upsetting because I usually share most (if not all) of my 'beliefs' with these people, but absolutely none of their attitudes. They think being a pack of irritable cunts is going to fix the world for the better. It ain't; it's been tried before and it didn't work. |

If we are excluding John because he has retired, shouldn't we be excluding Freddie for being, ya know, dead? |

I think if you are comparing one (famous) person with another when both are/were highly intelligent, talented, and accomplished, the thing that would make the difference would be how unique they were - I mean how rare was it to have achieved what they were able to achieve? How did they distinguish themselves? How do others in their profession feel about them/rank them? But in a group, such as Queen, it is the combination of individual talents and unique abilities/intelligence that is the achievement. It is interesting that they all chose to work in a collaborative entity, rather than just going it alone. So they got something magical out of the unique abilities of each other - enough to form the group in the first place, and then to want to stay in their group formation (for the most part) until death separated them. If any one of them hadn't been compatible intellectually, they would have been fired by the rest of the group, I think. So, obviously, they all had respect for each other in terms of their individual intelligence. I think that is all that matters. |

I take it back, after seeing the Psy picture. Brian's retarded. |
| notsofatso 21.06.2013 02:14 |
i think brian may is the most intelligent one |

for sure Brian May, but they are all smart guys |

I think so. It shows his business acumen. Through these activities, the young ones are made aware of the band. Staying Power !!! |
| AlbaNo1 26.06.2013 13:14 |
I dont think through any of those associations Brian is likely to hook any serious young music fans and inspire them to buy up the early Queen back catalogue. The opposite effect is far more likely. The other classic rock bands seem to maintain status and credibility from not over selling. The likes of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin just seem to roll on regardless. They play a big gig or put out quality remasters every few years which generates new interest but theres none of this tarting around. |
