I am on about a dozen CDs, none of which I own. This is interesting, I never went from the stage or studio to the production room.

I’m not meaning to offend anyone, but,,,, I disliked that band,,,, and the singer creeped me out. And,,,, I HATE THIS SONG! But I’m a Zappa guy for Rock, and now concentrate on Electric Delta Blues. So you can see the disconnect.

No question, Queen has the best cover of “Wayne & Garth’s” original big hit!

I think I love you real saxophonist.

My whole family (all kids, 11, 15 and 16) are all HUGE Queen/Freddie fans.

Good vid, thanks for posting!

And I do believe Freddie was the Mozart of our time. He had entire symphonies in his head.

Watching Brian’s face and sad remembering...

Just all around great freaking video.

Thanks again.

I tried putting it on You Tube: HERE.

It is not really my type of music (I like classical), but I put it on youtube for historical reasons. It was so much in the news that I got my brothor's book of Queen songs and did it.

Fascinating. Thanks for posting. I had no idea.

I hope I wasn’t the only one singing along with that. Sheesh, when I think of the amount of brain-space I have tied up with the lyrics, timing, breathing, melodies, harmonies, and vocal muscle control for the songs of the 70’s and 80’s...if I could free up that space I’d be actually smart. :-)

Some have noticed similarities, and I agree. As a fan of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Madness” has grown on me.

Queen’s episode of VH1’s Behind the Music (if you’re old enough to remember the show) is my all time favorite because it went so far against the norm. All the other episodes of that show run a very solid pattern: band struggles, band makes it, band enjoys the excesses of wealth, band recovers from drugs, struggle for power as members that weren’t the leader vie for power so they can “express themselves”, band finds new path. Queen’s episode was totally out of the norm, they didn’t freak out with drugs, Freddie eventually walks into the studio and says “well what do you guys want to do”. Really if it wasn’t for Freddie’s illness and death there would be nothing bad in the entire episode. It’s actually kind of comical if you watched enough of the show, even though you never hear or see the interviewers you can clearly tell they’re very confused.

Brian’s hands are beautiful.

Queen was the best band ever!

Sure brought back a lot of memories watching that vid.

Thank you.
