I think I’ll pass. Heard they emphasized more of the homo stuff leading to AIDS gay stuff and not really the music. Plus National “Never Trump” Review..
Typical NR writing...infatuated with their own wordsmithing and using 1000 words to characterize what can be said in a dozen.
I didn’t know about his lifestyle, wouldn’t approve then or now, but I still want to see this movie. Queen music, like so much other classic rock, was just too imprinted in my teenage years for me not to be interested in the bands story.
The trailer is quite amusing.
“No radio station will ever play this. I mean, it goes on for six bloody minutes!”
“You go home and ask your wife if she thinks six minutes is too long!”
LOL!
Never understood thier appeal, but to each his own.
Yes, the trailer looked good.
Pffft. Queen always sucked.
Formation and decline of Led Zeppelin with the frothing hatred of the critics would have made a better movie but none of them were flaming gay.
One of my birthday presents when I was a teenager was the double live CD The Song Remains the Same at MSG. Given by my dad. I was wishing for the Metallica box set haha but I got hooked immediately. Never knew the background that they literally flew EVERY DAY to a new city NON-stop and Robert Plant stated he never remembered any of it because they went like a blur..
There are many bands whose stories would probably make good movies, and I would probably be interested to see them. The tragedy of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Walsh’s battle against alcoholism and the Eagles, so many others and addictions their to drugs.
Queen made being a “Queen” a okay.
A vanguard 1970’s pop culture western world destroying “Tie-your-mother-down” moment.
Catchy rock was cool
But ultimately it is the devil’s tool.
- per David (bisexual) Bowie:
“Rock has always been the devils music. You cant convince me that it isnt.
Read “Hammer of the Gods.” The Zep story.
Another story of a person with great artistic style and a not so moral personal life that was tragic as well.
That pattern either occurs allot among those with great artistic talent, compared to the general population, or we just see and hear about it more.
Artistic people I think tend to be “out there” more so than the middle of the bell curve folks.
Ok thanks. Does it include the real story” about the fish/mudshark? ;P
My daughter asked me what “tedious loquacity “ meant from a reading assignment of hers. I need to point her to this article.
