Hi QZ.
During very late 79 or early 80 live when freddie pushed over all the amplifiers and then started smashing them with his microphone and then went to the drums and started pushing them about and picking up Rogers Microphone and dropping it during Sheer Heart Attack, was he taking drugs round that time (obviosly not during the concert) or was he just putting on this strange act of madness. If you don't know what i'm talking about you can see it at the end of the rare live video.
Thanks, Stephen.
I've never seen this, where's it from?
If you have the Rare Live video it's at the very end of that.
note: Before you see that it shows bits from about 4 other concerts first.
As Freddie always said 'I can't just sit on stage and do nothing.' He had to do SOMETHING. What better than beating the hell out of amplifiers like a maniac? :-)

Exactly.
He did it since late 70s and untill 1982, I think, so it's just a part of his stage theatrical acting.

Funny thing is, his mic stand got so horribly bent. I just wonder how pissed off Ratty got.

Hmmm i've also seen him doing mysterious things with Roger's drum stands. Kinda like pole-dancing...

Same here but when he had fished smashing them up and down he threw them on the stage. I think this clip is on the rare live video.
Speaking of weird stuff Freddie has done, it's very interesting on the Bowl where Freddie tries to bite Brian's guitar, and while he's playing it no less... I laughed really hard when I saw it w/ my friends, but they freaked out and were like,"WHAT is he DOING???"
