Freddie's Sources of Inspiration

brENsKi 05.03.2020 15:36	So we all know of Freddie's love of old black n white movies. I'm wondering if some of the music used for those old-time movies inspired his own song-writing. The 1910 Wizard of Oz movie has a section of "added incidental piano music" adapted from Paul Tietjens's music of the 1902 stage play. There's one 30-second part (below) that has some similarities to Freddie's Millionaire Waltz. As this music has only recently been adapted to the 3-disc DVD boxset, I'm wondering if it's possible that: a] Freddie ever heard this piece of music, or b] Freddie ever saw a later production of the stage play (with this musical arrangement)? relevant part: 11:20 - 11:50
Star* 07.03.2020 14:50	Brenski For someone who is homophobic towards Freddie you are a laugh on this thread and this thread is doomed from the start. The things people on here will do to get popular tut tut.

miraclesteinway 07.03.2020 22:59	I'll answer the question: No it's probably not the inspiration. Freddie was a great lover of Chopin, who was the most famous composer of Waltzes for the piano. True, he wasn't the most famous composer of Waltzes period, that was Johannes Strauss. Freddie was aware of all that music, and he was aware of all sorts of cabaret and theatrical styles, and so to him it was probably very natural to compose a waltz. By the way, you gotta love that bass line on Millionaire Waltz.
mooghead 07.03.2020 23:23	Pretty much all silent movies had a piano soundtrack to which this sounds very typical. If you close your eyes and concentrate hard enough you can hear millionaire waltz in most of it.

emrabt 08.03.2020 08:30	Every release of this would have had different music, it's unlikely Freddie would have heard this particular print of the movie. Edit: Rereading the op I realise that this isn't actually what you asked.

aristide1 10.03.2020 17:17	These bold songs, reminiscent more of psychedelia than of old days, are some of the most progressive moments in Queen music. Frederick wasn't a gay phantom of the opera recycling "old black and white movies and old-time theatre/music" themes, he was a genius ahead of his time. That's why mentioning an obscure (and highly generic) film score from 1910 as the possible source of inspiration is particular dumb and diminishing.

If you're going to be a smartarse it helps to be more smart than arse. There's very little one might call psychedelic in any of those songs. They're based more firmly in nostalgia for music hall and Noel Coward, filtered no doubt through Fred's public school experiences (and to a lesser extent through Brian's love for jazz and skiffle).

AlbaNo1 11.03.2020 23:36	Definitely strong similarities and movement around 11.30. I could see it as plausible Freddie picking up ideas from something like this more than from sitting through an entire classical concert or opera.
Star* 12.03.2020 08:07	Yes i can hear hints of Freddie in that clip, and he was the only one in Queen who would have thought of something like that in the band. Freddie always brought a lovely piano piece to many Queen albums but sadly this stopped after Jazz on the track "In Only Seven Days" which yes was written by John Deacon but Freddie's piano contribution was delightful.
brENsKi 12.03.2020 09:10	red wrote:Yes i can hear hints of Freddie in that clip, and he was the only one in Queen who would have thought of something like that in the band. not really. you're discounting Brian's "Good Company" and "See What A Fool I've Been", Roger's punk influenced "Sheer Heart Attack" and Deacy's Nile Rogers "AOBTD". Everyone is influenced by something else, everything comes from somewhere else. Go dig out those McCartney quotes about how the Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" influenced the Beatles. while we're on it, Freddie wasn't the first to go all vaudeville/music hall, Brian wasn't the first to go country, and Queen weren't the first heavy rock band to do dance/funk/soul. listening to Sgt Pepper and The White Album and the Freddie/Brian "musical divergences" boxes are ticked already. The dance/funk/soul thing, well, you'll be surprised who beat Queen to it: Zep, Beatles, Purple, Eagles, Doobie Bros, ELO, 10cc - even fking Kiss! I suppose the point i'm making is that almost nothing is pioneering or original, it's just "more of the same" and the key is how you make your "more of the same" stand out from the others. Diverting a little - been having a discussion about the Killers the other day, and a friend said "yeah, their influences are 80s electronica and new wave", but i countered that i'm sure i'd heard a song from the 70s that was very Killers. going to try dig it out. back on topic: thank you for joining in the discussion properly. it's a shame you didn't just listen to it from the off - instead of the negatives. you'd have maybe gained more from including yourself in something positive. personally, i discovered that arrangement by accident. it was nothing to do with Queen, just someone talking about old movies etc. - and wasn't remotely interested in playing it, and after hearing 3 or 4 minutes i was feeling a bit "huh, so what?" and started fast-forwarding, a few clicks later and the player stopped on 11 mins...then i heard that part and couldn't believe what i was hearing. it's nice after all these years to "discover" something "new" with even the remotest of Queen "links". i then shared it for those who'd never heard it before...seems like most!
Star* 13.03.2020 07:41	Brenski Firstly i have never come on this site to be nasty, when others like yourself decide to leave the odd sarcastic comment that is the start of the touch paper getting lit for me and i dislike people deciding that only there opinions are valid and mine are torn to shreds and been told my opinions are stupid or wrong, we all have opinions and this is not a court round up so people should just chill out on here. I have trudged through some nasty times on here because of the people who decide to an interesting subject, in fact some of my threads have only had one page on discussing a topic and the other 24 pages have been fighting because someone wants to be petty by dismantling the whole topic, sad times indeed and there are some big headed characters on here who think this site belongs to them so they decide to play moderator, Lets just say no one on here should be bigger than anyone else and we are here because we love Queen what ever shape or form of the band that you prefer but that is still personal to you. People still have a right to moan about the current line up and why not they have spent lots of money on Queen over the years so are entitled to express how good or bad they are now and i for one are one of those people. Now getting back on track for this thread, i cannot see how Sheer Heart Attack has anything to do with the B&W film music but i can see it somewhere in The Millionaire Waltz and yes Freddie loved all that stuff I am not bothered if other artists got there before Queen because Queen are different to other bands they are so much more polished and glossy and as far as i am concerned they did it better than most bands.

Every single comment you have made will criticise AL by use of words like "cnt", "twt", "fat" and other similar insults. you claim your opinions are valid - but they never can be while you use your own vernacular. nobody will take anything you say seriously, if your first approach is to disabuse others with those methods. red* wrote:**Now getting back on track for this thread, i cannot see how Sheer Heart Attack has anything to do with the B&W film music but i can see it somewhere in The Millionaire Waltz and yes Freddie loved all that stuff. i think you've missed the point a little. i was replying to your comment: blue and my reply was that all of the band members (not just Freddie) came up with ideas in different musical genres or taking different musical directions - including Roger's "Sheer Heart Attack". and, fwiw - some of Queen's biggest hits; Radio Ga Ga, AKOM, Innuendo, These Are The Days of Our Lives, One Vision - sounded like nothing else Queen had done before - and were ALL Roger's ideas.

Freddie was not the only one in the band to bring something new/inventive to the band. If your talking waltz time signature Roger Taylor did it before Freddie. If your looking at Freddie's songs like Millionaire Waltz. Brian's guitar work bring almost as much to the song as Freddie's writing I agree with you about Freddie's piano work, a lot of that and Queens uniqueness was lost when they started recording stock musical styles like Another One Bites The Dust, although neither disappeared completely. As to the original subject of the thread. I think Freddie's colonial background probably led him to hearing a lot of this style of music when he was growing up together with those old films. And that particular clip does sound very close.
Star* 13.03.2020 17:22	Freddie brings flamboyance and camp to Queen music and that was the huge appeal to many of his massive hits. Yes Brian's guitar work on Millionaire Waltz is fantastic and styled the band together with the big production and overblown harmonies, others may have done it first but it was Queen that made it there own!
brENsKi 13.03.2020 18:46	red wrote:**Freddie brings flamboyance and camp to Queen music and that was the huge appeal to many of his massive hits. i don't think that "flamoyance" and "camp" are the huge appeal of hit records. Neither element attracted me to his songs. Personally, it was melody, lyrics, and a good tune.
Star* 13.03.2020 21:23	You would not get the good tunes if Freddie was not Freddie meaning he was a gay flamboyant man and that was embedded in his core as a human being. A straight man could never have been as creative as Freddie was.

A straight man could never have been as creative as Freddie was. sorry, but i disagree. you are defining "as creative" as an innate characteristic only found in gay artists - more precisely; one gay artist. that's an utterly closed mind you have there. firstly, creativity is the imaginative ability to have original ideas or make things. being gay and flamboyant is not a prerequisite. secondly, lots of straight musicians are as creative as Freddie was. there's so many ways to be creative - and they ALL count equally, (maybe not to you - but to the world at large, definitely). 3½ Beatles were straight (there was a rumour about John), Zeppelin, Purple, Jeff Lynne, Rush, Kate Bush, Floyd and many others - all straight, and all as creative as Freddie. Maybe not in a way that even registers on your chart, but in the real world of creativity - definitely. thirdly, and more importantly - some of (IMO) Freddie's best tunes had nothing flamboyant or gay about them. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that Somebody To Love, Love of My Life, Liar, Seven Seas of Rhye and many more, were - if anything - androgynous, in that they could be written by either gender about either gender. Need further proof? Take Freddie's supposedly "campest, most flamboyant" song - Don't Stop Me Now. Freddie knew the importance of being ambiguous, keeping it androgynous - hence one verse ending "I wanna make a supersonic man out of you" and another ending: "I wanna make a supersonic woman** of you" point being; DSMN - despite most people's differing interpretations, was not "gay" "bi" or "straight" - it was a huge, vague, grey, question-mark. and deliberately so.
AlbaNo1 14.03.2020 00:48	You protest too much . But you have already accident agreed with Red. Deliberately vague, Freddie knew the importance so as not to alienate the commercial market of listeners , but without doubt a lot of these came from Freddie’s core. He did not care about making a supersonic woman.

He did not care about making a supersonic woman. re: the highlighted section ^: maybe initially, but later on i don't think he cared who knew what about him. someone who wishes to maintain the ambiguity does not willingly appear in videos like IWTBF and IAHL, and then there's the Body Language vid - it may feature lots of females, but it's set in a bathhouse "mockup" and much of the imagery is anything but vague. i think that part of my point was made a little clumsily. i was trying to say that sexual orientation doesn't make for creativity, and lyrical androgyny is more creative. it's easy to write: "my girl's mad at me" and similar - because the only perspective being used is that of the writer. but being gay/bi/lesbian doesn't necessarily give a song-writer an advantage or more innate creativity. it's something a song-writer either has/doesn't have - regardless of sexual orientation.
Martin Packer 14.03.2020 10:11	BTW "gay" and "flamboyant" are largely unrelated.

Secondly i disagree about other Queen songs Freddie wrote like Somebody To Love, he was desperate for a boyfriend to love but as we know Freddie always said let the listener interpret what they think the song is....... Don't Stop Me Now is indeed about sex so the rumours go but again that is up to the listener to decide. Freddie's sexuality lit up Queen like a floodlight he made the band vibrant and gave them character of been regal and importance. Straight artists are dull in comparison.

Straight artists are dull in comparison. that's your opinion, but it isn't fact. you can't say something would not exist if he hadn't been gay. you can never know this - ever. and your interpretation of STL differs from mine - and many others. why should it be about "searching for a boyfriend"? it was Freddie's attempt at a rock-gospel love song. my original point was that there was nothing "flamboyant" or "gay" about STL. you're disagreeing with me, so show me the actual "gay" or "flamboyant" lyrics...or even a part that YOU can definitely interpret as "flamboyant" or "gay". your last sentence is incredible. and discredits almost everything else you've said. sweeping statements do not become fact just because you make them. you'd be better off starting your statements with "i think" or "i feel". while opinions vary, the only real fact is that there are no openly "gay" Freddie compositions, and - "flamboyance" and "gay" often exist exclusively of each other. therefore, the only absolute fact is that of my original point: most of Freddie's songs were not "flamboyant", none at all were "gay", but many were androgynous. why would he deploy androgyny? we can only assume his motives - but our assumptions wouldn't be fact either, would they?
Star* 14.03.2020 14:23	1975 Freddie admitted to Mary he was gay which was a relief for him to be honest and open, then in 1976 Freddie composes a song about wanting love but this time he can be open with himself about who he wants love with hence "Somebody To Love" and even Freddie admitted his songs come from personal experience and you always get the best songs written through personal experience and i think "Somebody To Love" was about wanting a boyfriend. You have your opinions but sometimes they are not fact either.

Star* 14.03.2020 15:47	Well fact "Its A Hard Life" is about Freddie's gay relationships breaking up because he spoke about that song in a interview and said all his best love songs are about his experiences and down falls and because Freddie is a gay man the lyrics reflect his heart break i.e "Its a hard life To be true lovers together To love and live forever in each others hearts - Its a long hard fight To learn to care for each other To trust in one another right from the start When your in love. Freddie's relationships always turned bad and he ended up getting hurt all the time and these sort of songs reflected that.
brENsKi 14.03.2020 18:39	Gerry, you keep moving the argument goalposts. the discussion was about "flamboyant" and "gay" songs. there is nothing in any of the songs quoted that could be considered either. you started by saying: red wrote:red my reply: brENsKi wrote:green your reply claimed STL was about Freddie finding a gay lover: red wrote:red to which, i responded: brENsKi wrote:green then this from you: red wrote:red so I asked you about STL (again): brENsKi wrote:[color=green]>> there are no actual "gay" or "flamboyant" lyrics in STL or LOML or Liar . >> we can only assume his motives >> there is nothing that clarifies he is "searching for a boyfriend" in any of his songs >> you can never know this - ever - whether he would have written these songs, had he not been gay. there are thousands of brilliant "broken-heart" love songs written by straight people, you know.[/color] your next reply is a complete sidetrack/diversion: red wrote:red so, over the course of this discussion you've avoided answering two questions: >> what proof do you have that Freddie could not have written STL or LOML if was straight? >> where is the "gay" or "flamboyant" content in the lyrics to STL or LoML or Liar? you still haven't answered this - please try to address the actual questions.
Star* 14.03.2020 20:28	Firstly i never mentioned LOML OR Liar, so do not know why you quoted that because i never mentioned that and if you read my previous posts i have already explained about STL. Think what Freddie wanted in the song Somebody To Love, he is asking for a man he is a gay man, penny dropped?

Freddie loved Aretha Franklin and i think STL was his rock/gospel moment. Next you'll be telling us that his vaudeville/music hall moments were also odes to finding a gay partner. regardless of your need to give all of Freddie's love songs a gay address/request of some form, this simply isn't the case. you can guess/assume what you want - but it doesn't make you right. unless a song clearly states he's "looking for a man" - then he isn't. he's writing love/romance songs that will have universal appeal. this is something writers do. - why halve your potential sales market? you keep claiming that only a gay Freddie could write these songs: red wrote:Brenski Look at Bohemian Rhapsody rumoured to be about his sexuality, that song would not exist if Freddie had not been gay! so, i'll ask you once more: what proof do you have that Freddie could not have written STL or LOML or DSMN or Bo Rhap if was straight?
Star* 14.03.2020 22:13	Secretly in Freddie's head a few songs were about finding a male partner but he always said its up to the listener to decide what they want the song to be. I never said all of Freddie's songs were about him but a few were. Around 1983/1984 Freddie's love life was very wild and the amount of men that he dated was off the scale and "Its A Hard Life " tied in nicely with that era.

"tied in nicely"??? - for your imagination maybe. but unless Freddie actually said a specific song was about relationships with gay men, then you have NO PROOF. Please stop tying everything to some "agenda" you appear to be developing. anyhow, as you've completely ignored my main point (again)...i'll ask you one last time. unless you finally answer this honestly, you can consider this exchange dead. so here goes: what proof do you have that Freddie could not have written STL or LOML or DSMN or Bo Rhap if was straight?

thomasquinn 32989 15.03.2020 15:25	Well, yes, but in my defense - this version is meant for the general public, and if I were to start placing sicuts wherever incongruous statements were made, the result would be even more of an illegible mess than it already is. That might scare away much of the public from Gerry's oeuvre, and I could never forgive myself for that. Fully annotated interlinear translations of Gerry's complete works are, of course, available by request for the discerning scholar.
Holly2003 15.03.2020 15:41	He said this to me on another part of the site. "Holly2003: Have you seen Queen+ in concert then because as i remembered you dislike Adam as well hypocrite." Maybe you could translate it for me? I believe it's a lower form of English, spoken only by skip rats and other school dodgers.
Star* 15.03.2020 15:54	@Holly2003 Enough of the sarcasm you stupid shit wipe bitch.

thomasquinn 32989 15.03.2020 16:27	You have good taste, Holly! This one has a lot of things going on for it. First, we need to pay attention to proper scansion. It's written in a peculiar, jarring and somewhat irregular metre usually reserved for the most hardened habitual drunks, tertiary syphilitics and mentally unsound howler monkeys. / x x / / x / x x Have you seen Queen + in concert then / x x / / x x because / as I / remembered / x / / x / x you dislike Adam / as well / x x hypocrite There is so much to see here, but, I shouldn't allow myself to be sidetracked by matters of form! Just note how it is virtually impossible to declaim this verse properly with a blood alcohol content under 0.25% or an IQ over 40. The translation is a little bit tricky, because the author's understanding that words are supposed to have at least somewhat fixed meanings is sketchy at best. Although I'll be the first to admit that this is a rather free interpretation, I would propose something like this: Have you seen [my collection of] Queen+ in concert [recordings]? I wish I could remember why I'm not allowed to go near Adam or flammable substances. Hey look, it's the nurse with my antipsychotic medication!" I'm very glad to see you're taking an interest!

Mr red it has not been apparent to you, though it has to us, that upon removing the name Thomasquinn from your above post you have accurately managed to describe so much of the person you are. Your attempts to hide behind words like nice fail in ways you have no knowledge of. The lesson in this post is none existent, because we The Circle of Eidolon know that even you know what we say to be true. The Circle of Eidolon has spoken, there can be no argument.

Are you blue as in a low mood, are you blue as in the sky on a sunny day. Are you azure blue, lake placid blue, electric blue, are you the blue lagoon or maybe Bluebird. Are you a pair of blue sued shoes or maybe just one shoe. Are you a Bartok opera? Maybe you are a Deep Purple album or a different Martin Mac viper this time one who's colour scroll list is stuck on blue, but what shade of blue, midnight blue? Haze blue? Egyptian blue is your focus also stuck, are you a colour wash, a sweep band or pin spot. Do you have any focus at all.

thomasquinn 32989 16.03.2020 15:37	I was actually being very nice. I could have "told it like it is", and said that you have no need for viagra, because you are clearly the kind of person that no woman, in fact no female mammal, would tolerate being touched by. Not only would I be saying that you couldn't get any pussy, I would be saying you'd not be allowed to pet pussies at the animal shelter. Now, if I were to be nasty, I might have said something such as how I think that three things are true about you: one, you are clearly not intelligent, to put it kindly. Two: you have a vicious streak of racism, homophobia, misogyny and all kinds of nasty shit that comes to the surface at the least provocation - all those things are part of the real you. The real you that we get to see is TERRIBLE. Three: you spend so much time on here trolling and fighting that it is painfully obvious that you have nothing meaningful to do to occupy your time. You're screaming to deal with the silence, the emptiness. But, fortunately, I said none of those things. So, all things considered, I was positively talking you up. You're welcome.
