Steve Perry of Journey was another. Actually, the entire band. They could fairly closely replicate what they did in the studio live.

[Red6]

Well put.

[Bullish]

Freddy Mercury... Ick!

[Bullish]

Honestly never really liked his voice. Like Dennis De Young of Styx, just too theatrical for me.

Or that singer in Rush. Just no!

[sit-rep]

I second it... I drew a line... pillow biters and carpet munchers are on one side, I am on the other. you either accept it or you dont. I dont. Good singer, but the bad human part takes it all away. Period...

[Persevero]

It is a big ask to overlook the rampant extreme profligate homosexuality and promotion of same of the man and his career. He made a big deal of it. I mean the name of the band was Queen.

So why expect everyone on the board to gloss over it as if it was inconsequential.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Yup, I know I'm in the minority on Mercury, which is why I didn't say that he can't sing. He can. I just don't like his voice.

Now Paul Rodgers...that's a voice I liked.

Funny - the Flash Gordon soundtrack was one of the few things they did that I liked - guess because I wasn’t a fan otherwise and it was deliberately over the top and campy. Hilarious lyrics.

If you eliminate performers and musicians based on their personal beliefs and sexuality you’ll eventually find yourself sitting in a darkened room listening to Anita Bryant’s greatest hits.

lmao...

Not quite man... there are plenty straight performers that I'll support. I listen to it all, but im not gonna sit here and rave about a homo..... never gonna happen.

Queen was Queen, not Mercury. He was great but not without Queen.

[FreedomForce]

For me, Queen was as much Brian May as it was Freddie Mercury.

[Damifino]

Or that singer in Rush. Just no!

Getty Lee. I love Rush, mostly for Neal Peart's contribution.

[subterfuge]

For you and the others “what a fag” is not meant literally as it relates to homosexuality. It’s a joke. See south park.

[Macoozie]

30+ years ago?
Time flies.

[Fuzz]

South Park defined guys who rode loud Harley Davidson motorcycles as fags.

Rump rangers die young

Lasting legacy, use a condom.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Homosexualists suffer from a myriad of disgusting problems: anal warts, monkey pox, AIDS, HIV, gonorrhea of the rectum, tertiary syphilis. These diseases don't occur in normal people. The boy died at the age of 45, a ripe old age for practicing deviants.
