This has mode half of AWIMB cry. :-(
While I don't wish him dead, the fact that he is doesn't upset me in any way.
Queen out.
For some reason they have always made me angry and nauseous in equal measure. I've never really understood it; I don't feel that way about any other band, I don't think.
It may be related to a childhood filled with Bohemian Rhapsody constantly coming out of every radio.
They were good, very good at what they did - from a technical perspective in terms of songwriting, arrangement and musicianship, and also from a commercial perspective where they press enough people's buttons to make them like it and buy it. So congratulations so far.
Aesthetically, however, they are not my cup pf tea. In fact they are my cup of coriander. Nauseiating, teeth-on-edge, and like an allergic reaction. I also find it simultaneously creepy, overblown, pompous, and yes, Burnley, quite frankly, uncool. In the same way that, for example, Ronald MacDonald is uncool.
And Jorge, you *******, just mentioning the name of that song has set the infernal thing off in my mind and I am feeling unwell. :-(
As a kid, they were a sort of gateway drug into pop/rock/whatever. Before I was hugely concerned about cool or whatnot, I loved them. Of course, as I grew older I moved on to more sophisticated, less silly, more authentic stuff, but I retain an affection for them because they were fun, wrote good tunes and didn't appear to take themselves terribly seriously.
Did you know Freddie Mercury was buried face down?
I only like 1 queen song.
Breakthru as it was on a hockey video I had when I was a kid.
aren't/weren't Queen just a novelty act, really?
An early precursor to other ****. Like The Darkness?
Surely that was the job of Officer Big Mac?

The Darkness were more of a deliberate cheesy band playing homage to what they liked.
They are clearly talented musicians.
Queen belongs in the theatre.
Queen WERE (I use past tense since some of them seem hellbent on carrying on as a travesty act), at moments in their career, pure genius. Aside from some very diverse and brilliantly composed songs (and plenty of duds too), they were also, as individual musicians, inimitable, from Freddie's unique voice and camp charisma, through May's unique guitar tone and harmonies, to the very underrated John Deacon, who's absence from their current "line up" is quite telling. Pity the Freddie biopic will be so tame and pointless, thanks to may and taylor being insistent on the final part of the film focussing on "how the band carried on after Freddie", pff.
