certains source use to say that headlong videoclip has been recorded in november 90, the greatest flix II indicate it was in april 91...who can tell me the truth? I believe more and more it was in november 90, can anybody confirm me this? |
| Penetration_Guru 15.06.2006 15:10 |
I can, as I saw it before April 91. In the defence of Flix 2, does it not say that the isngle was released in April, and here's the video for it? |
| love of my life 98 15.06.2006 15:15 |
thx for this quick reply, but GFIX II use the word "recorded" at the townhouse studio in april 1991, however the sigle has been released the 15th of May 1991. that's why I doubt because I've seen any pictures of the recording with the following day: november 29-1990.... |
| Winter Land Man 15.06.2006 16:38 |
There are three days the video was recorded..... look in the video, their clothes are different three times. |

This is something that kind of boggled my mind too, because Freddie still looks semi-healthy in this video, versus TATDOOL video, where he looks like he's the living dead... |

If you look at that paparattzi photo of him in August of 1991, you'll see he has a beard, and looks a lot like Freddie in Headlong, but with Kaposi Sarcoma. |

The video was actually shot on November 23 or 25 1990. There is a VERY quick shot of the "clapboard" in one of the scenes and you can see the date and director's name on it. I think the clapboard is seen in one of the shots where the band was in the recording studio. |

And Peter Freestone said two days. But there were three different clothing styles. There's two blue outfits on Freddie if you pay attention. |

In the Spring 1991 fanclub mag there is a pic of the Headlong Vid shoot. It was recorded Nov/Dec 91 cos It was the first single from Innuendo in the States. |

nov/dec 91?:P |

I like Brian's Bart Simpson t-shirt!! :D I'm good at these things... I'll figure it out! |

Hey, he used to be a man with a stick in his hand Hoop diddy diddy, hoop diddy doo She used to be a woman with a hotdog stand Hoop diddy diddy, hoop diddy doo... sorry, I love that song! Anyway, I'm assuming that the video shoot was November '90 because Freddie looked semi-skinny then before the May 31st, '91 video shoot of "These Are The Days Of Our Lives." in the video for "Headlong", I love how Brian tried to headbang like a metal fan. |

I had a look at the video yesterday. For me, the performance sequences look too energetic to be filmed in April '91. Fred is able to do quite a lot on that video, he covers quite a lot of ground and moves in an energetic fashion. According to Peter Freestone by April/may he could barely walk but then again I'd question that because only 2 months earlier he appeared mobile on IGSM. Ultimately, it's hard to compare becasue one is in monotone and the other colour, one bearded, one clean shaven. All in all, the thing I find most fascinating is that Fred is more energetic on Headlong than IWIA, depsite being in far better shape on the latter one! |

Video was shown for the first time at January of 1991. Innuendo EPK (with snippets from this video) was shown long before April of 1991. End of discussion. |

Wow, I can't get over how fast Freddie went down hill between the "Headlong" and "TATDOOL' Videos. He didn't look well in "I'm going slightly mad" video either. I can just imagine how he felt. Poor Freddie! |
| Asterik 17.06.2006 17:12 |
it must have been the winter of 1990 that got to him. |

I can just imagine how he felt. Poor Freddie!You're seeing things. His condition was about the same I think. Some deterioration but nothing drastic. He might have looked better to you because of his beard. I don't know the specifics of his condition so I don't know if the virus was building resistance to AZT (which was the case of all victims of that terrible disease before the drug cocktail came) but I don't think he went downhill quickly. All of it was probably due to AZT, the symptoms are anemia, pale skin, etc. That and not necesarily the viral infection was why he was so weak. He probably was full of energy after he quit the AZT. Which is probably why he was able to record so close to his death. Then that Pneumonia got him. Sucks. He made his mark though, most people here hold him in high regard and also feel for what he went through when thinking about those final days (certainly not as much those who knew him personally or himself but we definitely still feel.). |
| john bodega 18.06.2006 01:52 |
kdj2hot, I think you're pretty much correct. He always looked better with the beard anyway haha. The thing one has to understand when thinking 'he went downhill quickly' is that he was already downhill after '89. He was terribly ill, that's just AIDS for you. He looks energetic in Headlong, and Breakthru, but I'm willing to bet that the poor guy paid for it afterwards. |

Of course he was ill, but I don't think it was as bad as some people think. AIDS has it's ups and downs, one day you can feel bad, and for the next month you can look and feel great. Even going by his home videos, he wasn't too bad. Liberace performed his last concert performance only a couple months before death. Makes you wonder why Freddie couldn't perform during 'The Miracle' period, doesn't it? He was pretty thin in 1986.... and he probably just stopped lifting weights and loss his muscle tone. If you compare Freddie in 1989, and Freddie in 1975, (body wise) it's not much of a difference in weight. Remember, the AIDS rumors starting coming around the time they performed at Live AID, there's an interview with John on some site that says "the latest rumor is that Freddie has AIDS" and the article is from '85. |

That's a very interesting view. obviously Fred would have had to use more energy than liberace but your comparison of Fred between '75 and '89 is quite salient- he wasn;t very muscular then but I think it was the gauntness in the face that made the difference. I'm one of the camp who believe that had The Miracle been released in 1988, Fred would have toured. |

I'm one of the camp who believe that had The Miracle been released in 1988, Fred would have toured. The reason guys like Kalus Nomi, Sylvester and Liberaci performed and toured extensively despite going through the later stages of HIV infection (late stages of AIDS itself in Liberaci's case and I think Sylvester may have been on AZT in his last few months) is because that was pre AZT. Freddie had to struggle to muster energy to sing in a studio to hear Brian tell it. If Freddie wasn't on AZT he probably could've went on a "Miracle tour"... well no, he probably would've been by the time the album came out like I hear the doctors told him... (in 91 though I don't know if he was building resistance to AZT yet, which happens to all HIV infections treated with AZT alone, it's a smart virus. If he was then he would've been getting all of the dreadful side effects with vey little if any benefits. Again I don't know.) I guess my point is that his last year for the most part would've been higher quality up until a couple of months before before he died. The question is would you want a year or may be 2 at a higher quality or 4 or 5 years feeling weak and living a somewhat limited life? (I won't even get in to the theories on whether anti virals used for HIV and AZT actually causes HIV infection. REsearch it for yourself because you'd probably think I'm conspiracy nut... okay I'll gloss over it. A number of people haven't developed AIDS yet. I mean a guy found out he was HIV positive in 1986 from a sample he had on file from the Hep B trials from 1978 and I believe he's still alive, without reaching status, today. There have been some research that indicate most of those people lived a fairly clean life, no drugs or popper with no other health issues as well. Which leads me to believe that using drugs like cocaine (which suppress the immune system) during early HIV infection aids the drugs... that much I'm proned to believe. The theory goes on to say that the other reason for AIDS comes from the drugs used to treat it (which explains the big question of how kids like Ryan White died of AIDS) I believe the illegal drug theory is plausible in aiding the development of AIDS, but I think AIDS would have probably developed anyway, the drug use just made it happen sooner. Now this may or may not relate to Freddie because I don't know very little first hand of what he was doing outside of making a lot of records). ----------edit--------------- Let me add one more thing to this long ass rambling post: If Freddie found out he had full blown AIDS in 1987 then I would make sense for the doctors to give him a prognosis of around a year or so. AZT wasn't approved for AIDS and HIV (I'm going on the FDA maybe it was approved earlier in |

I wouldn't trust a life in my hand if I could help it. I just like to read a lot and AIDS is one of those things where you read a little and want to read more. All the conspiracy theories and history. I like to deal more in proven facts though. Did you know a 15 yr old boy in St. Louis died of AIDS in 1969? Baffled all the doctors, all they could do is take picture, save samples of blood and tissue and just watch him die. Luckily enough for us they had the foresight to save the samples and give a little more insight on the origin of AIDS. Really interesting. |
