SweetCaroline wrote: Saint Jiub, can’t remember what you said previously if you have been to a QAL show. My first QAL show was at their opening night at the United Center in 2014 and it was so spectacular. Wow, watching ABC news and my weather is mild compared to other parts of the country. It might still get worse here overnight.

Really??? Worst thing I have seen for ages. This annyoing voice has become even more annoying. They completely erased John from their history. Like Eddie Van Halen did when they had a row with their bass player and removed him online from the album covers. Be prepared to get "the Miracle" with 3 heads only. Maylor are completely shameful. I really hate them nowadays

Yeah, I did. I was and still am a bit disappointed John wasn't shown, but I'm glad Freddie was shown. No coronet on AL's head helped too ;-). If AL took the piss out of it, that would have been one thing, but he didn't. He did really well. I can't help but hope no the coronet, etc won't be a part of future Q+AL shows, because I never liked that. I'm glad it wasn't a part of things during this performance. If Freddie wasn't shown, and AL wore the coronet, acted like a fool who knows what my feelings would be then. Don't hate me ;-). It's okay if you do ;-).

Me neither - i never expected Maylor go that far and insulting their supposed friend with this mess of a movie. QAL was one thing and still is bloody awful but the film goes even beyond that. Just proof that May envied Freddie his whole life until now because he was the King of Queen and not him. I think May will get off watching the scene where Freddie is begging him to get back into the band again. When I saw this for the first time I was totally upset. Still am. Shame on May. He completely lost the plot

Given the fact no one ever mentions John, neither Adam in the shows and Brian & Roger rarely in interviews and Rami doesn't mention him I'm getting the feeling he has maybe said he doesn't want any publicity at all. He seems to be living almost as a recluse and maybe he feels if they kept him at the forefront of everyone's mind he'd get people constantly coming up trying to talk to him when he does go out. I'ts obvious from that clip that's floating around where some fans were asking for autographs that all he really wanted was to get away, I just think he want's to live a quiet life away from it all.

Have you not worked out yet you're in a minority with your biased unbending view. You can't give any credit to any of them because you disagree with their choices and constantly say everything is crap, seriously is it not tiring living life so constantly negative? I personally think the movie could have been done better but it's obviously connected with a lot of people and Queen music has been back in the itunes charts, tons of new fans or people who'd not really been thinking of Queen are back interested again and getting awards whether you think they're deserved or not all helps with Queen's legacy. I think overall Freddie would be proud of the fact his legacy is still so strong 27 years after his death.

He was shown when Roger used to sing DOOL...which I felt was a perfect way to do it. I don't expect John to be shown these days, or even a part of any speeches, mind you. Believe me, I respect the guy, and I respect he is private, but I do think it would be nice if he was shown in the way DOOL was done. Not meaning to sound selfish.

The Van Halen Bass player is Micheal Anthony, you obviously didn't know, if you had you would have named him. Yes they showed a picture of Freddie. . . They were playing the Oscars. The film is about Freddie, not John. They were playing to a Hollywood elite audience, do you think a picture of John Deacon would mean anything to most of those people. I really wish I was as much of a dumb ass thick twat as you because then I might have a chance of understanding where your stupid comments actually cone from. You could do us all favour and fuck off, but I'm sure you'll stick around just to give us even more proof of you unbridled stupidity while thinking you're achieving something.
