I mean- his teeth were straight! How disrespectful!!! And he was singing the songs differently- he sucked! They should have stay at home and do nothing. Nothing! Because that's what I want. Brian is so disrespectful. It's not his band- it was Freddie's. How can they now perform those songs! Those songs should never agin be performed- that would be tribut to Freddie. Thousands of ppl are having fun to some of the songs he and others wrote- is this suppose to be a way of showing him respect???! How wrong you are- you should be all ashamed of yourselves! All of you! Oh- and the tickets are too expensive. And 12 pounds for the program- give me a break. If Freddie was alive they would play and give the marchendise for free! He loved us, he was singing only for us- not like those bastards Roger and Brian. They do it for money... It's only about the money. Oh my God, how I miss Freddie- with him it was such a philanthropy... The whole tour sucks! Queen is dead! RIP Freddie Forever We love you There can be only one! He's turning in his grave. And all those morons who say they felt your presence at those shows! BLASPHEMY! Only we- true fans, the ones who sit at home and cry listening to SHOW MUST GO ON can feel your presence! Guys- please, please stop and show some respect to the greatest human being ever!

We-Are-The-Champions wrote: Like so many others...for f***** sake give this whole topic a long rest! I'll say just one more thing. Many other bands have changed their line up's.....so what's the big deal! Freddie may have been irreplaceable in most people's eyes but he's gone so f****** live with it and accept it! BTW, I hate people saying it was Freddie's band and his alone....complete bollocks!!! Brian & Roger were founder members with Smile. John was also a contributor with some of the most meaningful and memorable anthems. Most of my favourite songs are written by Roger & Brian e.g Show Must Go On & These Are The Days Of Our Lives from Innuendo so it's pure ignorance/small mindedness or media brainwashing to think that Freddie was Queen! Freddie said many times that he was never leader of the band so there you have it!!

Freddie wrote approx. 47% of the groups overall output... plus he is the image most all public links with the band. Like I've said before, in the United States... everyone knows Freddie Mercury... one in 500 people walking down the street could not tell you the name of another band member. If it wasn't for Freddie...where would "Smile" have gone??? They would have been some long forgotten about English band that played a few gigs in the late 1960's..... Bottom line: Its doubtful that we would all have twelve or thirteen "Smile" cds that we charish.... while telling everyone that Tim Staffel is the greatest frontman ever. What turned Smile (unheard of nobody's) in Queen was Freddie Mercury. You think its by chance that Queen started getting their sound down, and becoming what would be "Queen" as we know it when Freddie arrived?? The very modest Freddie would never say "Not only I'm I the lead singer, but I made this band what it is...thats right...I'm in charge". C'mon.... he knew that would just piss the others off. Brian, Roger + John were all important contributors to Queen... both in sound, and with some hit songs. But I still feel that songs such as "Tie Your Mother Down" (Brians) Another one bites the dust (John's) and Radio Ga Ga (Roger) .... would never have gotten off the ground had it not been for Freddie. ,,, and as for his own songs... it was the campy broadway, meets opera, meets vaudville, meets rock songs of Bo Rhap, Killer Queen, Good Old Fashion Lover Boy, Somebody to Love, Don't stop me now, Jealousy, ..etc..etc... that for me, REALLY DEFINE QUEEN'S UNIQUE SOUND. From the name, to the look, to the sound.... Freddie is at least, singlehandedly, 50 to 60% responsible for taking the group in the direction it went. That kind of means he was the groups leader in a way. Meanwhile, the new tour... yeah, I'll go see them... its my only chance. I like PR. and Bri and Rog still sound great. Is it Queen?? somewhat... Just not the real thing. But it beats nothing.

rockit22 wrote: Silly topic! Queen never was a one-man band. Actually they were 4 guys writing the songs. Even FM said that! He said he was not the leader of the band! If you take away all the songs written by Brian, Roger and John, you will see what is left..! It is their music, and their work, so they can do whatever they want, and don't have to listen to silly comments! Besides, it is THEIR job, not yours!! Disrespectful??! Come on, give me a break for heavens sake!! I see it as a gift to all the fans!
