“BR is The most influential and memorable song probably for some generation. One of the most famous song ever made. The longest process in the making and the song that consists of several sections without a chorus: an intro (capella), a ballad segment, an operatic passage, a hard rock part and a reflective coda.The song is a more accessible take on the 1970s progressive rock genre.”
The Insider considered BR to be the best song ever written.

That is a great ad, good tribute, catchy name and a smart business way for using his name and his songs. And so much fun…=DD
Great find, Bro. I love it.
Hello Murn, while not Freddie. Here is one that embodies his love of music.
Cant post for some reason.
That sometime happens, maybe you need to just double click ?
Changed from phone to pc for posting links. Peace
Hey Ride,
Morning…:))
Who was that, maybe I can find it for you?
Got it posted, whiter shade of pale, annie Lennox. Peace
And love that. I had one there of my favorite from her too.
Thanks.

Little known fact: The entire band were extremely intelligent and well-educated. Their educational backgrounds ranged from biology to art to astrophysics.
That’s true especially Brian May. It’s why Freddie called him Galileo.
He’s one of world best guitarists and a rock star astronomer. Admiring.
“Brian May. He studied Mathematics and Physics at Imperial College London, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics in 1968 with honours. In 2007, May was awarded a PhD in astrophysics from Imperial College London for work started in 1971 and completed in 2007”
Wow! You know so much! π
Did some readings from long time ago.
Unlike Brian May, Freddie had difference educational background, but his talent and ability in making music is considered to be the greatest of a few.
My father told me about them. π
I knew some of their stories and their songs mostly from my oldest brother too.
Then after watching the movie recently, I started digging the songs that my brother listened to long time ago and I watched more videos of them and read more and made a playlist for them, and I decided to make a topic for it…:)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkcdSj4qBWU
You find the most video I looked for. I love it.
Thank you, Bro.
They were supposed to make a band.
This is Old video, image isn’t so good, but post it anyway for a tribute.
https://youtu.be/ix0qHUM1VLI
Awesome video. LOL. They could have sold more albums than The Beatles.
If they did, yes. I believe so too.
John Lennon taught Freddie Mercury how to drive:

I saw this video. I thought how funny there were.

I have goosebumps listening to that song.
I have this to post so I post it here..:))
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jtpf8N5IDE
Simply feel free to post away with whatever helps bumps abate. *grin
This helps….=D
It’s Freddie’s Tribute.
Any song is good…:))
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04854XqcfCY&list=WL&index=18
When you’re concerned, I agree. *grin
He sang it well…:))
Love it.
https://youtu.be/mLRjFWDGs1g?list=WL
BTW…a quick request to consider, no Elton…go with George instead. *laughs
Why no Elton?
I like many of his songs…=D
…and I’ve yet to hear the first. *laughs
That’s surprising….
Even this one?
Elton wrote this song in 1976.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvbQzRAi4wM
Nope, nada…I felt a little something with that one about Diana, the poor crazy thing that got herself ended…beyond that, nothing whatsoever. Sorry…not. π
I know you, no is no.
To be honest, I have something strange with him too.
He looks more like the queen now.
Indeed, not proud of it, simply is what it is…and him, yeah…yuck. π
Laughing again.
I believe you haven’t seen this old video.
I have to go and come back tomorrow.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fna56a_r41s&list=WL&index=14&t=0s
Nite, sweets…will head out now and find you again soon…rest well, was fun. *smile
Wonderful companion.
Still not leaving…but now…::))
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJJWF8Oi7Pk&list=WL&index=54&t=0s
But Okay, if you say so….=D
There won’t be Elton, George Michael instead.
And no pretending, just raw, unadulterated you…a request and requirement. Anger, tears, joy and laughter…I’m good with whatever you toss my way. I like you and you know me, I don’t/can’t/will not ever hold back. *grin
Grinning…..=D
Pretending often hurt so that’s good for not holding back…

Just adore you…*big ole hug…with a grin. π
Tommy is laughing….
One more from Freddie.
I keep posting this song in different video.
Enjoy your day. Talk to you soon.
Goodnight.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wShfCoUWUw&list=WL&index=40&t=0s
From the film…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON6PXTYOJ-M
He won Oscar for that, I watched it too.
Then he plays on the 25th James Bond with Daniel Craig. Great career.
Great song.

Being more of a classical music lover and not really a Rock fan, I do enjoyed any music that takes me into a ‘fantasy’ world where the song or music fills my whole being and I sit with closed eyes up to the last note.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1fiOJDXA-E
This is the performance i mostly enjoyed by Queen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmMcy72zy0c
Having said that, I consider the blind Italian tenor, Andrea Bocelli, as the greatest of all time, whether performing opera or more lighter songs.. His record speaks for itself. He is officially the greatest cross-over artist of all time.
I am not really fan for rock music either tho but when there are good ones, being different, being phenomenal and on the top chat for weeks and being a non stop trending topic, that would usually interest me to know more. And to be honest, I like many songs from Queen.
I have that first video you posted, good to have it here now so I won’t need to post it.
I’ve been listening and watching Andrea Bocelli music too. I recently watched his movie again “A Night In Tuscany” and “Music of Silence”. He is amazing and is his son Matteo.
https://youtu.be/ChcR2gKt5WM
Great song by a great father and his great son.
You know music is like food. You eat everything on your plate but your taste for everything is not the same. You do like certain foods more than others. And then tomorrow you change your mind find what disliked yesterday is now your favorite.
I just happened to enjoy classical music now more. But make no mistake I was a huge Elvis fan as well as a Beatles, Beach boys, (and a lot more) fan at one time in my life.
Freddie Mercury was a phenomenal performer with a more than great singing voice.
That’s true about music like food. I listen to many types of music too but there are certain music I listen the most. I like slower and calmer beat, from classic to new songs, I even listen many of the new age music lately.
I like some of Elvis and Beatles although I consider them as oldies, far older generation than us.
Even Freddie, I listened to his music more because of my older brothers was fan for Queen, but have to admit that I like many of their songs.
I can hear you are a music lover that listen with your heart.
You sound to be the same too..:))
I am.
I can’t imagine living without music.
It must be quiet and boring..=D
Music is truly an Universal language.
Performers are actors. Their movement and even facial expressions are rehearsed. But very seldom you see βsomethingβ so genuine that it pluck on your heartstrings and leave you with the thought of how blessed we are to be βnormalβ. Acceptance and gratefulness is such a virtue.
I cannot help but include this video each time an artistβs performance is under discussion . Watch this video, which Iβm sure many have seen before, from, on the time scale 0.50 to 1.00.
If ever you have seen a facial expression on stage that is so sincere, even if only for a moment, watch closely when a blind manβs smile tells you: βYes I am blind but I see with my heartβ. Heavenly!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k421o8CKSac
That is amazing performance with amazing voice.
To be honest, I like him better than Pavarotti even though he dreamed to sing with Pavarotti, now people admit he is great. He always animates every song he sings.
He does see with his heart.
He can collaborate with anyone, see this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6HM7-va_1I&list=PLVqlVK9qDX6TAnbhnbnWO67PZhelVgspE&index=25&t=0s
I love it, I love it. Thank you very much.
Both of them have such a great voice.
I loveee it too.
Exquisite.
He walks comfortably like he sees things.
That was the first thing I notice as I watched this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLCdOc3IzCY
Just awesome. Out of this world.
True.
In fact his operatic voice doesn’t become a barrier to collaborating with music from other genres. One more before I go, then come back later…:))
Have a good morning there, Palapie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiDiKwbGfIY
Yes beautiful. Have a fantastic weekend.
Thanks,
and you too….*Smile

I have fond memories of that song as as we had a pretty “hip and groovy” Choir teacher at our school and when entering the singing Eistedfford’s , she would come up with new and fresh songs and that was one of the many sort of cool songs she brought forth for us to learn. I have loved the song since and probably like near everyone in the world…know all the lyrics and breaks. lol
From then, I have loved Queen…period. There is only one of their songs I don’t like at all and it’s Radio Ga Ga.
This though is one of my favourites:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaZpZQG2z10
Thanks Kiz,
That is lovely story and coincidentally I don’t like Radio Ga Ga either.
This is just one of my favorites from Queen.
It’s sad watching part of his last appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB4K0scMysc&list=WL&index=20&t=0s
Gorgeous, iconic rock song. Truly.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EUPZ7FX-rdU
Good Morning to you, good Sir. That was spectacular. I’ve never heard of that group before but really like the blend of blues and pop there. Very nice. Have a great weekend!
Hey Josh,
I was about leaving.
You woke up…hehe
Good morning, Bro
Hahaha! Hiya, Sis! Getting ready to go to the dentist. Weeee…..
Happy sleepies and sweet dreams!
I hope all will be good with dentist.
Thanks & take care Bro.
Ah, just routine stuff, Murn. Fortunately, nothing major. I’m doing well. I hope you have a wonderful day, night, or whatever time it is over there. LOL. I’m too tired to think that through.
That sound great.
I am glad to hear that.
I am 13 hours ahead….:))
Just one of those out of the blue finds, color me surprised. Found this listening to Milk’n Blue. They r from Brazil. Can’t speak English got F@@k, but can sing….peace
Hey Sir. Here’s a vid to start the day. Peace Happy Friday.
Hey there RM,
Good morning.

Hey Hugzz ! How are you feeling ? π€
I’m okay today, thanks. How are you, our lovely Lily?
Big hugzzz to you!
Finally, kicking back . Reading & browsing . I’ve been following this Justice for Junior case (for over a year now). 5 of 14 were sentenced 23/25 to life . 2 ringleaders in pre-trial last 2 days. Interesting.
Good you’re good ! π Are you watching the ball game ? βΎ
I had to go to bed early. Busy day today. Not into baseball. I wonder what that juvenile case is you’re following. What happened?
I hope you have a great day today. I’ll be back tonight.
Me sleepy . Will try to chat later ! Lovely rain . That’s why I’m sleepy !
Happy nappy nap.
Me neither βΎ. Yet enjoyed White Sox games. Cubs games were followed by that lethal El Jardin Mexican restaurant.
It’s the Justice for Junior case (Leandro Guzman Feliz ) , 15 yr old brutally killed via 14 perpetrators ; mistaken for rival (lest 14 older so-called men used machetes & knives ). Witnesses didn’t intervene nor try to help him. Died from losing blood as he walked to the hospital where his mother worked . Gained a major community outcry (Bronx) . Out of towners from all walks of life & culture paytheir respects to this lil fella & memorial . got my attention last summer when story appeared on Lester Holt news. Was on the news almost every day or online update catching the whole mob. 3 were set up in Rikers to a whole ward for themselves as they were outnumbered & threatened , yet they f’up & trashed common areas amongst their floor & threw urine at CO’s. Aside from the brutality & entanglements with media & family, I question the fairness of the trial (May thru mid June) of the 5 just receipt of their fate. 2 defense attorneys , Martin Goldberg and Toni Messina (also writes a column “above the Law” βοΈ) both held strong defense on varied key elements.
That criminal case seems absolutely horrific. I’ll have to look it up, thanks.
I was always a big fan of Queen and Freddy Mercury on music alone. But his being gay and dying had a profound impact. I remember how people became more sympathetic and understanding towards gays because of him.
I grew up in a Catholic American and Croatian conservative tradition. The arts and entertainment industry helped bridge gaps and fostered understanding. As well as entertaining us. But Queen and Freddy are a part of my life in this regard.
I have gay relatives. We enjoy the music together.
Actually I have the intention of why taking this topic. A part from Bohemian Rhapsody being so phenomenal and became one of the best music ever written, featuring Freddie Mercury shows that we don’t discriminate gay, we take and treat everyone equally. This is referring to a commenter who bashed LGBT and Mod had do delete that comment and if we see that poster do that again, we will have to ban her/him.
Next music topic, I may take George Michael or Elton John…:))
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUOtCLOXgm8&list=WL&index=23&t=0s
I agree Murn with deleting offensive posts and giving 1 chance. Life is too short to waste on haters. If somebody can’t appreciate good music because of hate, you know they’re pretty far gone.
My favorite Queen song probably is this one: Living on My Own. I was a single man on the hunt for women in the 90s when I danced to this on weekend. Inspired by a gay man…among others…to get the woman of my dreams.
π
Next week talk about Boy George, another favorite of mine. You know, that crying game. LOL.

One more thought. When I moved to San Francisco, I for a time hung out with the freaks. Those people people who were outside the mainstream, especially the LBGT community. Again, I came from a conservative Catholic upbringing and was in the military.
Most of these people are like you and I. With dreams and aspirations. Most of all, they wanted to be heard and repeated, not feel hate.
I was never a hater. And I have to be honest in saying I don’t like the militant part of any community, which all have. But it was a humanizing experience…and damn good music, parties, and fun.
My wife and I raise our kids to this music…and in the spirit of tolerance, plurality, and respecting freedom of association. My boys are straight but respectful. And they love this music!
π
That is awesome and a very positive example for us all.
In real life, I get along with them, be good friends with them and live side by side comfortably here. Even some customers here are gay, many are more success than us.
I do agree with the tolerance, plurality and respecting. I personally believe and practice to respect anyone who respect us and be good to anyone even those who are not good to us.
True, no time for haters.
One chance only, they go on then we hit the ban.
That’s my brother’s favorite. I knew Queen mostly from him.
Oh I know Boy George. I like some of his songs too.
He’s pretty…:))
See on this video how the fans live for them:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1ydSXHsc9Y&list=WL&index=9
Wasn’t a big fan of Queen ; lest Freddy Mercury was courageous & made impact in various phobia communities. I liked the pictures of his huge, gorgeous cat ! π. Meww.
His Tom and Jerry fat cats…:)

Nicest lovely ones!
Thanks Lily,
Talk to you later….:))
I think he looks better without the rock n roll attire. Very nice healthy complexion !
That was pic from the 80s.
See what fans made with the pic…=D

Ohh I love those fluffy’s. The bottom one is hysterical !! πΈπ» Especially the marmalade cat !
True.
And those how his cats looked like.
Very creative…:))
One more and this one is more complete.

The lil rascal in the basket !! Hehehe !
Ohh I thank You for sharing this pics. I did recall back his cats were his second blood !
IKR. So cute.
My pleasure.
Morning…:))
That is hilarious. No offense intended, have 3 fluffys and thus just tickled me hard. Peace
LOL.
His surfing shirt makes him looks like a beach boy who loves cats.
Exactly, those fluffys are gorgeous. Peace Happy Sundsy
Happy Sunday to you too, RM.
Okay, quit using phone for comments. might help. Here is a jam I like. Sorry, not Freddie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N3f9ALU58U
I like her too and I love that song very much, both versions the original version and her version.
Here is one of my favorite from her:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoVaK2NXmJA
Party on, Freddie!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thyJOnasHVE
Nice one..:))
Bohemian Rhapsody
Released: 1 October 1975
Length: 5:55
9 weeks single chart
Selling more than a million copy by end of January 1976.
It reached number one again in 1991 for another 5 weeks when the same version was re-released following Mercury’s death.
UK’s third best selling single of all time. Also the only song to be the UK Christmas number one twice by the same artist
Become one of the best selling singles of all time selling over 6 million copies worldwide
https://youtu.be/fJ9rUzIMcZQ
Love the muppet version
This one? =D
First time I’ve ever watched it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgbNymZ7vqY
One of my colleagues asked me, “Have you heard Freddy Mercury’s dead?”
I replied, “I don’t know. If you hum a few bars I might recognize it.” I genuinely thought he was talking about a song titled “Freddy Mercury’s Dead.”
If that means dead from his old to the new person, then it is the Bohemian Rhapsody.
I don’t recognize that one titled “Freddy Mercury’s Dead.” but this one.
https://youtu.be/l_6AC2u0E4E
All Dead all the time.
https://youtu.be/pafY6sZt0FE
I am laughing watching your music, what makes us talking about dead…hahah
Anyway, there is no single living that doesn’t experience it, without exception, all will get there.
His last appearance ….:((
https://youtu.be/QQIAWRJZ8BM?list=WL
Impostor!!! No mustache, no Freddie. LOL!
Ture, only his voice can’t be faked…LOL
My favorite in other version.
