norton65ca Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 good god you're kidding right? Saw them live in 1979 or so at the Montreal Forum, great show, highly entertaining, I wasn't a huge fan but they made some excellent music. Yes Freddie was a primadonna but that's what being a rock star id about isn't it. Brighton Rock, Tie yer Mother Down etc, great stuff. cheers, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 8, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2009 I love Queen and I'm not afraid to admit it. I believe very few people were put on this Earth to entertain people. Freddy Mercury was most certainly one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazdavies79 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 A front man with one of the greatest voices ever and a brilliant stage presence to boot. A guitarist with a sublime touch. The ability to write incredibly catchy melodies. So why do don't I like them? Well, perhaps it's because their songs, although melodic and catchy, were not sexy, but rather a bit light and camp. They didn't have strong stomping manly riffs like Zeppelin...they were well, a bit middle class, not rock n roll enough, not dangerous. Which may have been why 40 yr old couples dressed like your mum and dad on holiday watched them. I respect them as musicians and songwriters....all very talented, but just not my cup of tea I'm afraid. (I'd take them any day over any manufactured pop band though!)

nrogers Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I voted, but what a pointless poll. As you really aren't going to learn anything from it, just because music isn't to your taste, doesn't mean it is shit to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
