Just for a bit of fun, complete the topic title with something that defines you as a huge Queen fan. For example, mine would be; "You know you're a Queen fan when a live track comes around on iPod shuffle and you know which gig it is by the sound of first five seconds of crowd noise" Next...... |

...when you come to Queenzone and shit on everything Brian May says and does while making a hero out of Deacon ...you think Delilah isn't embarrassing ...see having an opening act for Queen as pointless. |

...dancing to "Living on my own" in a Munich Club in 93' (21 years..man where have they gone ?) ...sharing beer and sausages ( Bratwurst) with Italian fans during a holiday at the Adriatic sea in 88'...( still wonder if they understand any of the lyrics ?...I don't know...very passionate people...that's for sure. ...sitting in a outdoor vine bar in Yugoslavia in Summer 91'and realized that they will never come back as a band despite the fact that Freddie still was alive at that point ( hits me totally out of the blue) ...wearing a "Miracle" Longsleeve Shirt for "Schützenfest" ( Did I'really do that ???) And ripped it on a fence on my way back home ( binch drinking ) ... Yes, I still have it ;) |

... when you know the way turn by turn to where the Fairy Feller's Masterstroke painting is located in a certain gallery of the Tate museum in London and you also know it's not currently on display despite being located 3,662 miles away in some other nation. Why do I know this?? |
| winterspelt 18.08.2014 23:29 |
You know you're a Queen fan when you see some random letters (like LOMQ) and start thinking Queen song names |
| noorie 19.08.2014 00:42 |
....... when Freddie's voice is more familiar to you than anybody else's. |
| master marathon runner 19.08.2014 01:56 |
.............when, over the last 40 years, you've had, cats , dogs, goldfish and canaries named Freddie. |

My contributions.......... You know you're a Queen fan when.......... you have a mp3 player with 4 gb of memory and a 16 gb AND a 32gb memory card.........and more than half of all that is filled up with Queen FLAC bootlegs......... and you once walk around for half a day with some song stuck in your head..........and realize it's Hangman.......... and you find it amusing that you realized you were driving a Mercury down Mercury Drive while listening to Freddie Mercury (I swear, that happened, didnt even plan it.........) |
| andyb1968 19.08.2014 03:04 |
.........when you ignore your parents at 15, get on a bus with your mate, travel all the way from Wales to Manchester to see the band live for the first time ( 1974 ). |

When 75% of your phones memory is queen songs |
| ITSM 19.08.2014 06:14 |
...when you can feel that a Queen song is being played - far away in the background - and then you really have to listen to recognize which song it is, because you can't really hear it properly. |
| Caviar and Cigarettes 19.08.2014 08:19 |
When you have everything Queen related ever made. When someone gives a Queen song title, you sing every lyric. |

.... you check out this site on a daily/weekly basis, in spite of trolls, obnoxious, or overly zealous posters (no need to respond to every frickin topic jeffabwhatever),... .because Q is your favorite band, and you might learn something or be able to add a morsel to the conversation. Or......you strike up a conversation with a Queen fan of the opposite sex, realize you have much in common...plus sharing a special love of their music....so much so, that you give it all up to be with that person (as she did as well). No regrets over the past fifteen years for doing so. |

^ Crazy Little Thing Called Love....will get you every time. Thanks for the compliment. We are hardly the only ones. Love some of the wedding pictures we've seen, where the bride, groom, best man, and maid of honor. do the 'Bo Rhap' pose. Wish we'd have done that. (then again, we can always 'One Vision' it) |

You can identify most of their songs even if only given a one second sample. It's actually quite easy, you would be surprised! |

.... when you first pick up another rock biography/autobiography, turn to the index and look up "queen", "mercury, Freddie", "may, Brian" etc. .. Before reading the damn thing." 2. .. You watch a film just because a Queen song is featured as a gag. (Wayne's world, Ted, how high, small soldiers etc) |
| noorie 20.08.2014 12:48 |
^^^^^^ Totally true! The one thing that stood out for me in Mick Jagger's biography was the part about Freddie! Just one line, but it was the one I liked best! Stupid me, right? Glad to know somebody else feels the same way.... |

The Beatles went off to study spiritualism in India, David Bowie started baking bread (I know that sounds very strange!), and the Rolling Stones went on hiatus, with Mick going off to the US. But not Freddie Mercury! He dismissed the tide of punk rock. He had people to entertain, and stadiums to fill..... As I said, this is just the gist of it. I am sure the exact words are very different. I read the book about 4 years ago... |

| matt z 21.08.2014 04:32 |
When youve gotten heckled at school for liking a band with a gay singer. When you've posted more than 200 posts on an online fan forum about the band. When you waited for the day you could see a portion ofthe band perform live (too young to have seen Freddie) just so you could bitch about the performance on said forum When you bought a FLASH belt buckle to wear with your jeans (to send up Flash Gordon) When you love the song Delilah. When you irritated family with repeated listenings of all the Queen albums as a child When you regret missing out on buying the short lived MINI - MAY guitar by Brian May Guitars |
| BETA215 21.08.2014 04:35 |
Both happen to me. So... I'm finally a Queen fan! |
| tcc 21.08.2014 07:27 |
When you searched and bought the Flash Gordon and The Highlander DVDs after buying all the albums and videos of Queen. |

| queenUSA 21.08.2014 20:13 |
... When you sit down to watch Metropolis searching for any extra "meaning" to the meaning, and just to be inside the thoughts of Queen. That clock business with the hands is pretty cool by the way, I can see why they borrowed it. Brilliant. |
