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

Absolutely! May is hugely underrated, though I think Mercury was still the bigger talent/draw, overall. In any case, an incredible band, incredible lead guitarist, and incredible singer/songwriter.

Many of Queen’s best known hits would have been near impossible to duplicate from studio to live stage, without a full choir on stage with them. I don’t think they ever toured that way. The song “Liar’was guitar driven, that could have been performed as recorded, but most of the songs on album “Sheer Heart Attack” (Brighton Rock, Killer Queen and Leroy Brown) were intricate barbershop type harmonies, that would need restructuring for live performance. This may have taken the spotlight off of Freddie M. Maybe he didn’t want that.

#29: "Sitting in a darkened room listening to Anita Bryant's greatest hits."

Anita was on more USO shows than almost anyone but Bob Hope himself.
Anita was a true American patriot. She was MAGA before MAGA was cool.

God rest her beautiful soul.

Mercury’s family was Zoroastrian. His ancestors fled Persia when the Arabs invaded and murdered hundreds of thousands, occupying it (to this day).

>> what a fag

Well, as a matter of fact, Mercury (if that’s his real name) WAS a fag. What’s your beef? Facts are disturbing to your fantasy world?

>> 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.

Oh horse shit! People who can sing and/or play an instrument are a dime a dozen; Hollyweird, Nashville, Etc. are FLOODED with them. It’s way beyond time to reject those that embrace satan as their god and muse.

You really are twelve years old. Someday you will grow up and see further than your poor offended fragile sensibilities currently allow.

No, sorry, culture slave.
I know good from evil; right from wrong; light from darkness.
I abhor evil and cling to that which is good.
If you continue to embrace wickedness it will eat you alive. You deserve bettet.

Such a profound statement badboy. Maybe you should be reading Beavis and Butt-head instead of FR?

FACT CHECK:

Freddie Mercury chose the perverted homosexual lifestyle...and died from that choice.

Yes, he was a fag...and God judged those who made that same choice when He destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah.

Only a low IQ leftist with a severe mental disorder & unable to grasp reality would disagree.

LOL...why can’t you leftists deal with factual reality?

Yes, choosing the homo/fag lifestyle is, at best, a severe mental disorder and, at worse, a satanic cult.
