I was going to my first real job 25 years ago, driving through Bristol in England early in the morning after his death. The news came on the radio announcing his death, playing Bohemian Rhapsody afterwards. Stuck in a traffic jam, I saw nearly everyone mouthing the words to it with tears rolling down their face.

There is one fact people seem to be forgetting. Live Aid was not a Freddie Mercury concert, so not everyone was there to see him specifically and some may not of been his fans. If you watch his performance he had the entire audience eating out of his hand because fan or not they all knew how special it was. I don't think it has been, or even ever will be, matched.
@bernadetteparnell9500 5 жыл бұрын
I couldn't agree more. Like many, I watched Live Aid because it was for an important cause. All these years later, I remember how Queen lifted the event. They, and Phil Collins, are the only entertainers I remember.. And Bob Geldorf and Midge Ure, of course, as the organisers..

Freddie and Queen OWNED Live Aid. Sadly, I didn't see this as it happened as I was only 3 years old at the time, but I've seen their performance...and it was just mind blowingly brilliant.

You are so right. Freddie is the greatest frontman that ever lived!! I told this to a 19 year old just today. I am 62...lol. I told him all you need is the first 4 or 8 bars of his songs and you identify it. Can't do this with "singers" of today. If you can it's probably a cover...again lol...Queen was the enite package, writers, singers, world class musicians, showmen, and most of all did what they did for the fans. Period. Many ant interview bottom line was " our fans buy aour recors, and as long as they do then F*** everyone else". Freddie was purely magical, an enigma, something that we can't explain our love for him about to others. They think we arw crazy. People who are not familiar with Queen think yea well Axel Rose... no... Freddie...you clueless ass...lol

You're kidding me, right? You really think Michael Jackson lip syncing is a better LIVE performance than Queen at Live Aid? I don't think so. No comparison whatsoever. 1. He lip-synced 2. It was a choreographed show and 3. He had 0 interaction with the audience. Meanwhile, Freddie Mercury had nearly 200 thousand people singing and clapping along to "Radio Ga Ga" in sync. He captivated that entire audience like no other. And he captivated another entire audience in America at the same time. Lol. If I wanna hear the recorded version of "Billie Jean", I don't need to watch Michael Jackson lip syncing it.

I wish you emphasized more on Freddie Mercury's musical efforts during his battle with AIDS. He recorded The Miracle in an early stage, and Innuendo during the later stages. To sing some of the lines he slammed a bottle of vodka to suppress the pain, and he also appeared in multiple video clips, with heavy make-up. And at the very end of it, he recorded enough miscellaneous lines to fill up another album, Made In Heaven. He almost literally went down, singing.

True in my view. The Miracle was still 80s, while Innuendo was more mature, clearly, and showing more reflecting pieces, although "Was it all worth it" has a comparable message as "These are the days of our lives" and "The show must go on".

There are 2 reasons Freddie is greatest singer AND front man of all time, first it's not only his amazing 4 octave vocals but such as breath control, vibrato, and tone but also, and secondly, he can control crowds/whole stadiums with just him scatting. There will never be another like him

For me, it's partly because he was genuinely an amazing and selfless person (rare with celebrities, especially ones as renowned as Freddie) but had such a sad life, few true friends, always having to hide the truth of his sexuality and for years being hounded by the press about his condition. But through it all he remained stoic and true to himself...a true legend.

I regret not being alive for live aid. But I was in tears as I watched the Queen gig for the bush fires in Sydney. Just so full of awe, regret and a sickly concoction of conflicting emotions. Seeing one of the musicians I admire most not just for his music but also his stoicism and tenacity when it came down to his music it was as if he was speaking directly to my soul. It's how I feel when I listen to Queen. Just a little less lonely. One of the characters I invented for a series of shorts loves Queen just as much as I do. We both pit our first tattoos on the same arm Freddie had that famous studded armband. Id always loved three songs, Don't stop me now, Another one bites the dust and Killer Queen. But it wasn't until I listened to the rest of Queens discography that I realised just how utterly unparalleled their music is. Night at the Opera and News of the World are two of my all-time favourite albums ever and there isnt a bad queen song out there. Thanks, Freddie, Brian, John and Roger for all that great music.
