Reassure Me Please!
| deleted user 11.08.2005 10:14 |
I'm just boiling over at being told I have no life, Queen are shite and I should try listening to rap, hip-hop and R&B. Please reassure me! I know I shouldn't react angrily to these comments but I hate being told what music to listen to. Aren't we supposed to respect each other's opinions? I've done a pretty good job so far of respecting this person's opinion on her type of music - but I can't control my fury when she can't respect mine. I'm proud to be a Queen fan and I'll love them till my dying day but I don't think I'll be able to withstand constant peer pressure. |

OK- you have no life, Queen are shit, they suck, you should listen to rap and R'n'B like normal people, Queen fans are losers... But isn't it nice to be a loser between losers? Welcome to the club. :) Just don't give a flying f**k what anybody says- you know the best what you like... |

When I was in high school, I was the only person walking around in Queen t-shirts.. That's fer damn sure..;-) |
| Suigi 11.08.2005 10:22 |
I'm the most diehard Queen fan at school and at work, so I get a lot of comments that Queen - and classic rock in general - is garbage. To that, I respond, "Wow. I never knew I was working with/at school with The God Of All Music." No one has the ultimate judgement on whether music is good or bad. |
| great king rat 1138 11.08.2005 10:23 |
Don't sweat it! People have been pulling that one with me since I was about 5! But twenty years on, the music still wins as far as I'm concerned. Be yourself, don't bow to peer pressure and dare to be different! |

She said, "In Dublin you'd get battered for liking Queen." I did say to her however, "Let them batter me. If they do they'll have Freddie to answer to if - and that's a big if - they get to heaven! |

Remember these two easy lines from Ride The Wild Wind and life wouldn't be so stressful: "...We got freaks to the left We got jerks to the right" |

i always get slated for liking queen. some tossers who even like the legends metallica, judas priest, thin lizzy etc will do anything to degrade me like singing 'dont stop me now' or just saying queen are shit, they have no talent and thier songs suck ass. just dont listen. i carry on liking queen and there just losers who had never heard of talent and wouldnt know what it was if it came and raped thier mums, slapped them in the face and shot their friends |
| queeniefunster 11.08.2005 11:11 |
People are going to remember bands like queen and led zeppelin for years yet. Nobody's going to care about some tosser called Eminem in 20 years. |
| tia 11.08.2005 11:22 |
Just remind them that Queen is still breaking records for thier music such as top dvd sales,longest running musical,Bo Rap most popular rock song, Freddie best rock singer,etc. Millions of fans cant be wrong!! |
| _Amie_ 11.08.2005 11:46 |
Ignore them! People think im a "loser" for liking Queen at such an age, but then I think to myself, what will the bands my friends like be doing in 20 years time! Will they even be remembered?! NO! |
| PieterMC 11.08.2005 11:47 |
I was told many a time "I can't believe you like those fags..." |
| deleted user 11.08.2005 12:01 |
Thanks for all the replies. I do get quite a lot of stick from a few people over this. I tell you, I'm going to make sure my children know about Queen in years to come! I can take comfort from this board then. |
| Lisser 11.08.2005 13:45 |
No one dares to call me a foul name bc I love Queen's music. Infact, no one within striking distance of me dare call me anything I don't want to be called!! If someone ever said that I was a loser for listening to Queen I think I would die laughing. Anyone that would say that obviously has no appreciation for good music that is written and composed by the actual artist(s). There are not too many bands that can claim this and that is flat out sad. This is real rock and roll, classic. You can't ask for anything more in a song. /stepford |
| doremi 11.08.2005 13:58 |
Here's the thing, I don't give a flying F**K whether anyone agrees with, or approves of my musical tastes or not. Period. So far, and I have said this before, I must be fortunate, because I am 44 and I cannot think of anyone ever ragging on my liking Queen in any way. The only thing I HAVE encountered, is unfortunately alot of people in my age group, who actually do NOT know who Queen are. Sad. But...if anyone were to rag on Queen, I'd tell them to GET BENT! and then go on to tell them why and how Queen is one of the most talented, landmark, influential, legendary bands in music and in history and in popular culture and their impact and influence on so many other music artists to this very day! :-) |
| its_a_hard_life 11.08.2005 15:09 |
Queen rock full stop you should'nt give in to shit people like that with no good taste in music and jugde you on yours when Queen is far the best then anyother band ever to hit the planet so tell those stupid pricks to put that up there pipe and smoke that...:D |

| deleted user 11.08.2005 17:14 |
Well, just in case any of you think I'll let her tell me what to listen to, be reassured that I would never trade Queen for any band. I love them far too much and I've never been afraid to admit it to anyone. That's how she's teasing me, because she knows this. I tell everyone. That's how big a fan I am! :) |
| Gordie Howe 11.08.2005 20:41 |
Shit im a Junior in High School now and I wear Queen shirts all the time and people respect me for it. |
| deleted user 11.08.2005 20:46 |
I'm always being respected for likeing Queen :S |
| Ms. Bea Haven 11.08.2005 23:21 |
Queen have been around for more than 30 years. The acts today won't even come close to lasting that long. (On average...isn't it like...5 minutes these days?) Remember - opinions are like assholes - everybody has one. (Learned that from a Dirty Harry movie.) |
| deleted user 12.08.2005 00:22 |
this is why the word 'fuck-off' was invented |

If they do they'll have Freddie to answer to if - and that's a big if - they get to heaven!Who the hell said that? Do you get battered if you like U2 in Dublin? 'Coz about 240,000 people over 3 nights saw U2 in June. And in '86 they went to Slane Castle for Queen. Granted that a brawl broke out, but that was just a bit of fun. |
| dixie 12.08.2005 07:33 |
all the bands i like have been around for a long time QUEEN- 30 years (17 with freddie) metallica-22 years red hot chilli peppers-15 years thin lizzy- they lasted for 6 years but the music lives on just because some people think that talented musicians that are 'old' are shit doesnt mean that it is. who will remember emenem or 50cent in 30 years?????????????????????????/ |
| deleted user 12.08.2005 07:36 |
The older the better I believe. You're experienced then. OK, I'm ready to take her on if she ever crosses me with this crap again - the sensible way. |
| The Black Queen 12.08.2005 09:11 |
Pop in some Led Zeppelin, dear. Maybe some Radiohead or Sigur Ros if you really want a change from the norm. I love all three bands. |
| MercuryArts 12.08.2005 10:09 |
I was harrassed all through high school & beyond. No one liked Queen in the States back in the 80's Especially when IWTBF was released on video. I was 15 then & I WAS the only person wearing my Queen concert jersey from my region & any other Queen shirts I could find. Believe me it was hard to find them. Don't sweat it. 30 years on their music is still a force & w/ all the honors being given to Bo Rhap there is the proof. Next time you get teased just turn it up a little louder. |
| Insomni@ 12.08.2005 16:43 |
Well,they don't like Queen,they hate Queen BUT when their favorite team wins a football game for ex. they all start singing:''WEEEEE ARE THE CHAAAMPIOOONS MY FRIEEEND AND WIIIL KEEP ON FIIIIGHTING TIIIIILL THE EEEND.......'' |
| 7drylegs+1wet1 12.08.2005 17:01 |
yeah, two of my 'friends' say that Queen are shit, but then i remind them how long they've been around, they try to say how long i dunno, Greenday or who they like have been around and liked for, and i'm like, yeah, 10 years. TRY 30 FUCKING YEARS!! and besides, when they say they're shit, just keep saying, no they're not, no they're not. They get bored eventually, or be clever, and completely ignore them. |
| Gunpowder Gelatine 12.08.2005 17:07 |
Yeah, Queen has stood the test of time...it takes a great band to still sound relevant after thirty years or so. Just listen to any song and the emotion is stil applicable now...it's music with substance! And it's so hard to find a band that covered the range of styles that Queen did - they were original and a once in a lifetime type of band. |

Erin wrote: When I was in high school, I was the only person walking around in Queen t-shirts.. That's fer damn sure..;-)Same here. Everyone else had their Pearl Jam and Garth Brooks shirts on, while I had my Queen and Kiss shirts. One funny thing I'll never forget is when I had my Queen shirt on with The Miracle album cover on the front and this kid came up to me and said, "Cool shirt....which one paints the star on their eye??"...LMAO |
| rc 13.08.2005 08:34 |
i bitch slapped a kid who called queen "a bunch of fucking faggots" unfortunately though, it didn't go down too well with the principal and we got into big trouble. but after all, as a queen fan, i feel it is my duty to defend the honor of the band in situations like that, agreed? :) |
| dixie 13.08.2005 12:38 |
well done |
| FriedChicken 13.08.2005 13:24 |
In what kind of savage country do you guys live. I live in holland, and if i see topics on this website about 'my friends laugh at my because i like queen' makes me wonder if Holland is the only civilized part of the world. I never heard any one laugh at me because I like Queen, or other 60's,70's music. And i never been called gay. |
| radjee_raver 13.08.2005 15:16 |

Infact, I'm quite sure most bands today were in some way or another influenced by Queen and I always have to laugh when someone says they hate Queen but they like *whoever* and I know for a fact that that particular group is admittidly influenced by Queen. I suppose they're kind of like Led Zeppelin in that respect. Almost every band since then has, in one way or another, been influenced and inspired by them. They're just that amazing. |
| rove 16.08.2005 03:49 |
hi everyone, i'm new. as far as i'm concerned Queen are very popular and the people that hate them are in a minority. I mean even today Queen were voted the second greatest band of all time ( in London ) and Bo Rhap the best song ( once again in Loondon ). What i'm trying to say is to these people say " why does a sit band have the most ever weeks in the charts of any artist in the UK ?" out of my group of friends and most of the people I know, Queen are considered pretty cool and people who hate them are considered the idiots. |
| WTFare you 16.08.2005 14:07 |
ahhhhhhhhhhhh since everyone is saying they are in school here, how old is everyone? And if your young how did you get started in liking Queen, Im well into my 40's. And I loved Queen since the early 80's |
| deleted user 17.08.2005 08:41 |
i'm awlays being called a person who only cares about queen, called a loser. oh well. i am in elemantary school, i'm the only one who knows about good music. Ha Ha, i've actually been called a queen by some kids who don't know what a queen really is. Just igore her or any small minded idiots :>) |
| tomyorenes 17.08.2005 08:56 |
When I was in high school, nobody really understood what Queen are, one of the BIGGEST bands in History. They liked those bands that will never be remebered for something really interesting. They used to call me Queen in a very sarcastic way , so I used to say Fuck U all music fools!!!! Now I am 25 and they seem to have learned that Queen are the BEST. At least they show their respects to Freddie, so you know, QUEEN ALWAYS WINS!!!! |
| freddies girl 17.08.2005 09:11 |
i have a friend just like youve described she goes on about how fantastically brilliant eminem is and so on she makes me listen to them and although i don't enjoy it whatso ever i always be polite and kind about it but at trying numerous efforts to get her to listen to the greatest band of all time i get a very rude NO she calls them and freddie in particular all the names under the sun which hurts i agree why can't people just respect other's opinions? |
| dixie 17.08.2005 15:41 |
because for some reason queen are 'uncool' in some peoples eyes |
