How did you feel when you first saw Freddie with a moustache?
For what I've read most fans back then weren't happy about it, and they starting tossing razor blades on stage or sending them by mail.
I too've read that. Sucks kinda.
Freddie: I wonder what these darlings have sent me today *reaches inside envelope and cuts self* GOD! OH GOD! HELP ME! Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
John: Oh, I really wish he wouldn't open his mail during our silent reading time.
I'm interested in knowing if there are any pictures of Freddie with long hair and a moustache or John with beard/moustache. I've seen one picture of John with mild stubble but that's all. He's the only one I've not seen with major beard-age.
I was like 12 when Freddie grew his stash and to be honest at the time I couldnt even recognize him. I always prefered the old look but as time passed I accepted it.

LOL!!!!!:D
Whe I first read that, the OH GOD! GOD! HELP ME! I thought of Peter Griffin from Family Guy. I don't know why. It just reminded me of him.
HATED IT!!!
Particularly since I had liked all of his many looks up until that point, most especially the leather clone look he had during the Jazz/Live Killers albums.
But you can't be a pop princess if you look like a leather queen!
(great question, btw...)

Haha, you're so right. I could just imagine that too. John would be Brian.
I did not notice the stash. I mildly opposed the shorter hair on John and Freddie. I was somewhat disappointed with The Game (synthesisers and mostly top 40 short song sound) But the Game was neww and enjoyable nonetheless.
I never thought about it one way or the other. People are allowed to change their looks, and like someone else said, I was more interested in what they sounded like than what they looked like.
heh, I was sort of thinking about Family Guy when I posted it.
I can't say that I'd've been too impressed by his cookie duster after seeing him with the combed back, greaser look from Jazz. To each his own, I guess?
I first saw Freddie with a moustache, in the Ga Ga video (7th place in a VH1 top 10), before I was a fan, and said to myself: this guy is soooo ugly! I hate him! And immediately afterwards, I saw the video for WATC and BoRhap and sighed: he's such a cute boy, damn it! So... I guess I'm not very fond of his 80s looks, but what matters is the music, after all...
I think I was more shocked at the look he had just before he grew his mustache, like in the Crazy video. Just to see the short hair was the surprise, even though it had been getting shorter over the years. But like has been mentioned before, the music came first, and I couldn't care less what they looked like, as long as they were putting out the best music in the world!!
I didn’t like it (first I saw Freddie on inner sleeve of The Game LP in 1980), but I could live with it. As some of us said before me - his music and voice is the only important thing.
