the lyric from Bohemian Rhapsody "so you think you can love me and leave me to die"...does anyone else think thats about Freddie having AIDS? or at least HIV. it makes sense...i was thinking about that today and i was wondering if anyone else thought the same thing |

The lyrics are not about AIDS - Freddie wrote Bo Rhap in the 70s and didn't even know he had AIDS until many, many years later. |
deleted user 03.04.2004 18:58 |
Not only that Alli, AIDS wasn't known about until the 80's. Freddie couldn't have had any idea whatsoever. Good post. |

erm...*cough* don't try and read into things too much. Freddie himself said he didn't know what Bo Rhap meant. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time for a Russian Roulette session. |
Polar Bear 04.04.2004 04:06 |
Actually I think you're right it must be about having aids, cause in 75 Aids was the hip disease to have. John and Roger both flirted with it briefly before giving it away for the hot space tour. |
Virtuoso 04.04.2004 06:17 |
Good post Miss James,at least you had the decency to respond in a honest and polite way,contrary to the rude sarcasm by some.Anyway,I think Freddie knew what the song was about,obviously,but possibly the reason why he never said what BR was about is probably because it was a personnal thing.And why would he tell us btw?We don't need to know every inch of Freddie's life for god sake. |

FriedChicken 04.04.2004 09:13 |
Ofcourse it's about Aids, It's very obvious, Mama, just killed a man: Freddie knows he killed a man by having unprotected sex with him. Life had just begun, but now i've gone and thrown it all away: Freddie was young back than, but knew he threw away his life by getting Aids Body's aching all the time: His body is getting distroyed by the Aids and spit in my eye: Ofcourse Freddie doesn't mean spit..but cum, but it was 1975 and you couldn't say cum in a song. Everybody knows that you can get Aids from getting sperm in your eyes. Oh baby-Can't do this to me baby: He can't believe that his lover gave him the disease. And in the end he accepts that he has Aids and says Nothing really matters to me |

*shakes head* Whatever... but that was just a very odd question to ask. It's not a matter of knowing or not but it's basic information that Freddie was diagnosed in the late 80's and Bohemian Rhapsody came out in 1975... and AIDS wasn't even known about until the 80's. EDIT: Okay-- now I just feel really mean... and I'm not a mean person so I didn't mean to call you dumb, okay? -- And with the post count thing, I've seen a LOTTT of new people with that and thought it was a bit shady. :-) |

Lester Burnham 05.04.2004 19:35 |
People, obviously you're not looking at the Bigger Picture here. Freddie knew he was going to die, especially at the young age he was in 1975 (never was good at math). He knew he'd 'become' gay three years later, and that he would contract AIDS more than a decade later, so he decided to write it all down in 'Bohemian Rhapsody', which was originally titled 'I'll Contract A Disease In 1987 That We Don't Know Anything About, But Here's Proof That I'm Going To Die For Those Of You Careful Listeners'. Shame you people are really not looking outside the box. I would've expected you all to be a little more open-minded. |
NekroDoll Hellcat 05.04.2004 20:21 |
uhh...right... well i'm not a very big fan of Queen, it was just a question that had been bugging me because i came very interested in Freddie after i found out he died on my birthday. so it was just a random question i was hoping Queen fans would know... |

i always thought bohemian rhapsody was written for wayne's world:P I mean maybe freddie thought that it would be very funny if four guys would head bang to the song in a pinto 16 years later. wasnt that his vision all along. - I heard that Freddie caught HIV from a flight attendant he had a relationship with in '82. He apparently got worried in '85 when he heard that the flight attendant was gravely ill with AIDS and died shortly after. |
corki4.0 06.04.2004 03:34 |
i heard on the freddie mercury story that he had probably contracted aids in new york where he was said to have indulged a lot. I agree that you don't need to be mean to newcomers after all aren't we supposed to be fans of this group called queen! No need to be cruel and sarcastic! right! lets all get along! i m sure that's what the members of queen would want! Unity! |

"So you think you can stomp me and spit in my eye?" "So you think you can love me and leave me to die?" The problem is that no one is seeing the obvious: That's what Mary said to Freddie when he told her he was gay. I came up with this one by myself ;-P |
Azmandaman 07.04.2004 04:01 |
all I can ad to this topic that... is a proven fact that all Freddie ever sang nearly if not all came true and when I hear some of the verses of Boh Rap after his death it givs me that apple in the neck feelin! real sad feelin you know? and really all the words that came out his mouth was truly of what they have gone thru... and if it was artistic Ideas such as Keep yourself alive and Bohemian Rhapsody in the end those words haunted his reality! and this is a proven fact to all great artist... after Freddie Mercury I researched Buddy Holly and a west end Musical came out with the conclusion if they didnt put the word DIE in their lyrics I bet they would still be alive today!! |
Lord Blackadder 07.04.2004 11:32 |
Freddie's p.a said it was 1987 he found out he had AIDS. And i think i remember hearing that he had HIV before that which he got in anout 1984 i think. plus if u havnt already go and get GVH1 and on disc 2 watch the rhapsody part with brian talking through what they did and how. U will see that it has nothing to do with Aids. It is simply about a guy who kills a man ect, ect, ect. JUST A SONG. Just because Roger wrote a song called 'the invisible man' doesnt mean he is actually invisible does it? |

Krizzy 07.04.2004 12:05 |
I do not mean to be a killjoy children but the fact is Freddie died of a disease that is still killing people and to make fun of someone who states that BoRhap is about his death may sound stupid to many of you young 'uns but it still brings a very serious subject to light. I hate the fact that AIDS is still spreading like wildfire amoung our younger adults especially people of color around this world...we have nothing better to do than make wars and blow ourselves and others up! Maybe it is the end of the world but we are to stupid to notice! and so ends my ranting for today.... Kriz |

"That's hilarious coming from you Dan considering you were the one who lied accusing me of spamming your website then telling everyone I am crazy. You shouldn't go around critisizing others of being mean spirited when you are too." I stand by what I know to be true. If you, in fact, didn't spam me, Then why are you trying so hard, even NOW, to prove that you didn't? Looking for an argument, are we? I thought it may have been someone else (I won't mention names) when it happened, But after a while of reading your posts and seeing how you acted, the things you said, Not to mention the e-mails I received from YOUR e-mail address (and I won't be so spiteful as to post private e-mails on a public board like SOMEONE), I realized that it was you. No doubt in my mind. I also stand by the fact that I think you are crazy. Just a matter of personal opinion. Don't read into it too much. I'm not the mean spirited, evil monster you seem to think I am. And if you knew me, You'd know better than to think that. But, I can be. For now however, I am sick of wasting my time on you... It won't accomplish anything. |

Lisser 09.04.2004 11:03 |
i don't know any of you but i've read 99% of the threads on QZ and it looks like to me that Psyche Star is a bit paranoid. Nine times out of ten, I've seen Psyche Star call people names and accuse them of some plot against her/him (not sure if Psyche Star is female or male). If folks on here upset you so much Psyche Star, then it would seem to me that it ceases to be fun to visit this board. If something isn't fun to me, then I'd stop participating in it. Just what I would do though. I am not telling you to piss off or anything but it looks like to me that you just don't get along with most people on here. Again, I am not sure why but that is what it looks like to me. If people don't like you then what happened? Why are they against you? Normally people don't just choose someone to pick on for fun. I guess I am sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong but I just wanted to state my observations as an outsider. sorry. |

Thanks Janet. Like I said, I hate to butt in but this is what I see time and time again with Psyche Star's posts. He/she is forever resorting to name calling, making evil statments wishing disease on people, and claiming plots against her/him. I'm sure I'll be accused of joining the clique, but that is ok with me. I'll join the normal folk. |
Merlot 09.04.2004 12:03 |
- edited by Apop - but the sentiment underneath still works - There is never a proper occasion to pick on somebody. Having some tenuous 'reason' to bully someone, does not make the act any better. |
Janet 09.04.2004 12:25 |
Lets start with this thread. Bullwinkle has, I believe, bipolar disorder. Psyche Star brought up his medication in her post to him. It was below the belt, and uncalled for. It has no relevance to this argument. She said something similiar another time to Dan, "...take your f*cking pills.." Not an exact quote, but very similar. Dan also suffers from depression. Just plain cruel. Flashman announced on the personal section not long ago that he and his friend were taking a trip to Amsterdam. Psyche Star's response was "-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope you catch a social disease you rottern heartless bastard. Go fuck yourself!!" On the Queenzone award thread, this was Psyche Star's nomination: posted 3/24/2004 10:50:52 PM "Biggest liar/arsehole award goes to Flashman!! And Qzoner most likely to live in a fantasy world because the real "him" is so pathetic and dull award also goes to Flashman!!" I am not going to spend this lovely sunny day going through all the old posts, but to me, this doesn't sound like a totally innocent victim. Oh, and the picture of the Jackass in her profile telling us to kiss her ass is a nice touch as well. |

Psyche Star, I'll always defend anyone who deserves it. Almost immediately I regreted defending you on that post after I read what you said on the thread to Flashman about catching an STD. All he was stating was that he was taking a vacation. I am not sure what Flashman has done to you, but he wasn't bothering you in that thread. I'm sure of that. Instead, you took time out of your day to say something nasty to him. Why waste your time? Why waste other poster's time making them read mean words that didn't belong on that thread? If Flashman has said nasty things to you in the past, then you are no better than him now bc you do the same. I've never seen Flashman hijack one of you threads with nasty comments, wishing ill against him. Infact I applaud Flashman for ignoring your rudeness to him. He could have lashed out back at you, but he did the right thing and ignored the ignorance. If he would have lashed out, then that thread would have turned into something like this one. I wanted to say something different than I did after you said that to Flasman, but instead I only said that was not attractive and it's not attractive; the way you speak to some people. Even if people on here are unfair to you, there are others ways of dealing with it. But instead you only give those people more of a reason to dislike you and point out your faults. I am not here to tell you how to deal with what bothers you. I am in no position do such a thing. I just thought as an outsider; someone who isn't in this clique you speak of, I could give some perspective as to maybe why these things are being said to you. I could be completely wrong since I've only been reading this board since July 03. Maybe this goes way back. I simply wanted you to know that from what I read, your choice of words to people, even when noone is speaking negatively towards you, is not cordial, hence is why most people aren't cordial back to you. I don't read QOL so I have not a clue about what goes on there. I am only speaking about what I've read on this board. I don't want to hurt your feelings, or anyone's feelings. I am sorry if I've done this. I know you feel like everyone is against you. That is obvious. Maybe there are valid reasons behind this though..... |

I am sorry if he has hurt you, but you can't blame us for being a bit confused when we see you hurling those types of remarks at him with us having absolutely no clue as to what has gone on... *edit* As for the others.... I am sorry, but I have never seen anything said to or about you that you haven't brought on yourself. My last words in this thread. |
Lisser 09.04.2004 13:55 |
ridiculous. Again, unnecessary comments on a thread. If someone said those words to me, I'd immediately stop conversing with them. I certainly wouldn't post those words on a notice board. It looks as though you let them conversate with you for a decent amount of time. After that first statement, I'd have blocked and removed that person. I'm sorry Psyche Star but you deserve everything that is said to you and has been said to you. I really wish you would have read what i wrote and taken it seriously. You keep placing the blame on others for what comments are directed at you. Look what you write. The reasoning behind the way you are treated is right there. I do hope you can calm yourself and remedy the way you speak to others. I think then you'll get the treatment you wish for. I wonder though if you like this drama??? |

Freddie was HIV positive for 7 years before he died-that would make it 1984...so he probably wasn't writing about having aids and what not. Brian suggested this song was about Freddie's struggles with coming to terms with his homosexuality |

The Real Wizard 05.09.2004 01:53 |
Great question! The only live recordings I've found where Freddie's voice was in good enough shape (and when he was confident enough) to nail that high C are Glasgow 12-1-79 and Newcastle 12-4-79. |

Giacco 73 05.09.2004 06:38 |
Thank you Sir GH!I always wondered it and I was pretty sure that Fraddie could nail that high note even live,like Axl Rose did at the FM tribute in 1992.It would be great to listen to it in a way or another,maybe in the "Music Download" section.I hope someone will post it,if is it available.By the way,I'm visiting your site and I love the "Live Killers"Analisys.In fact,in 1979 I was only 6 years old but I was visiting a record shop at the seaside with my upper brother which was 11.Then,I put a look on this big vinil with these cover full of lights,orange and black with this 4 guys that was saluting me...It was the first time that I get in touch literally to Queen music and I won't stop right till the end!
