But Freddie was also very British (I know he wasn't from England...work with me). This....
...is not this...
....and thankfully so. I love a world where Freddie AND Dave both exist. They are a bit like Bjorn Borg vs John McEnroe. As I wrote before, Dave was molten hot when he was on but he got pretty tiresome in live shows in the early 80s. The schtick wears on you after a while. Freddie was always on.
Bottom line, Freddie never grated on me like Dave could, but his peaks didn't approach Dave's. In rock and roll, I tend to like roller coasters more than bumper cars...your mileage may vary.
