    This is bloody hilarious. I love Freddie's character and his sense of humour.
    I don't listen to Status Quo or U2 but I respect them and I don't see why everyone's complaining about Bono and the other guys, like, they're not being mean, they're having a laugh and basically saying how they liked Freddie and thought he was funny. I'm pretty sure Freddie would've laughed at this as well, were he alive to look back at it.

Because Queen story only ended with the start of this COVID-19 virus. Be ready to hear a story you will not believe.

Whereever you'd got that load of crap from...just do more research. There are online gay sites where someone there would be happy to share factorial information to you if you ask nicely.

    Though your comment might look rude to someone, I can't agree more. As regards rock (and all popular music in fact), Queen were the most talented song writers in my opinion. The creativity you mentioned is the main reason I love the band so much and can't find any one that matches them. They were also true masters with their instruments. I just finished watching Glastonbury 2011 U2 performance and must say with time passing by I started getting bored. Queen song diversity can't let me get bored.

    Queen changed their sound quite often. Early Queen's sound was more complex and creative, while the late Queen's sound had a little touch of Pop in their Rock. Let's not forget they made ballads, disco songs, hard Rock songs, Pop songs and some involving vocalizations.

    Queen did collaborated with David Bowie for "Under Pressure" and Freddie collaborated with Michael Jackson for a few songs too.
    Also, Queen has many cover bands from all over the world. "Killer Queen" (one from Great Britain, the other from Italy), "The Miracle" from Holland, "CoverQueen" from France and "One night of Queen" to name a few.
    Their songs are covered by other bands (Green Day, Metallica and more).

Queen came out in 1970, it's 2012. I don't think it's difficult to imagine a group as loved as Queen everywhere can have that kind of sales in all that time.

Freddie enjoyed shocking the shit outta ppl and it was a mind game to him to get those up and coming fuckers off their game that day. So Bono's just fondly remembering and reenacting Freddie's words and movements. Str8 or fuckin' gay...if Freddie came up to YOU and did same fuckin' thing, trust and believe, you'd relay your story the SAME fuckin' way as Bono did! AND you'd NEVER forget it either!
      So no, no, no darling...that was Freddie being Melina to fuck with them AND everybody was having a laugh watching that shit too cause Freddie was well known to hold his own in fights...wasn't anybody callin' him anything other than Freddie, Mr. Mercury, or Melina (& you'd damn well had better been a friend to call him this)...period!

    While I am a U2 fan also, although to a lesser degree, I must say that both Bono and Larry come off here as homophobes, which belies the "image" they portray to the general public, as being so "progressive."

    Most songs from U2 follow a simple, basic 4 chord pattern that keeps repeating itself. Then The Edge comes with a riff for on top of that , and then bono literally starts singing 'something ' on top of that. Queen on the other hand could combine different songs into 1 song, used much more interesting structures in their songs and were actually creative in their song building.Although one may like one's music more, anyone with a bit of musical knowledge can see queen are the much more talented 1s

    Every fan (and even haters) have their own perception about the music of a group. Personally, I find U2's songs to be based mostly on the same formula. Their music is not as diversified as the other groups I listen to; it could explain why I find their songs rather similar. In the end, U2 is a good band and I like their music whether it's based on the same formula or not. I'm not trying to diss them, I'm simply expressing my opinion.

    Ure might have been from Scotland, but he and the band were most definitely based in London...England. I love the Scots, but see above, I wasn't referring to him as a person, but rather the band. Were the band based in Scotland, or if they had an overt Scottish identity, then maybe you could say differently, but they were originally formed by English kids who were at art school in London. Midge Ure, the Scot, came much later, only after they were established, and after he had moved to London.

    So many panties in a twist over a personal opinion. This Queen/U2 argument reminds me of that scene in Amadeus where old Salieri plays a tune to the priest, who recognises it at once starts singing and then asks if he wrote it. No he said, that was Mozart.
    That's how I imagine the future. RadioGaGa, WeAreTheChampions or WeWillRockYou start playing and people will probably recognise the tunes however remotely. Now play them U2's most famous hits - does anyone seriously think the same will happen?

    In terms of diversity and experimentation, Queen is the one leaving U2 in the dust. Listen to the albums Queen, Queen II, A night at the Opera, Innuendo.
    I do find Mercury to be a better frontman than Bono, but that doesn't determine who's the best band, it's not only about the frontman, but the group and their music.
    I own all of U2's albums exept 2, but I've listened to all of their songs, so I know their music.

      +John Romerro No, he didn't say anything bad-he was commenting on how surreal it was meeting Freddie for the fir5st time at Live Aid because Freddie was holding court that day, playing up his public persona as the over the top flamboyant personality. As was with the case of everyone interviewed Bono was amazed, caught off guard and amused/surprised and taken aback(in the best way possible). Freddie liked to do that, the public Freddie, at least, go all out,press people's buttons. Case in point saying to Midge Ure , while shaking his hand for two minutes straight "You're that lovely boy from the Boomtown Rats, aren't you?" Midge replies "No, I'm that lovely boy from Ultravox." lol Midge to this day doesn't know if Freddie was truly ignorant about Midge Ure or putting him on. It's funny. As is Ure's , Bonos and Status quos recollections of running into Freddie that day. Those bashing Bono don't get the genuine affectio0n meant by his comments. After all, Bono was invited by Queen to play at Freddie's memorial.

Invece di questi aneddoti postumi,da caserma e senza contraddittorio il signor Vox farebbe meglio a prendere atto che Freddie Mercury era un genio artistico e uno spirito libero a servizio dell arte non delle multinazionali e della retorica moralista come lui.

    Nah, Queen are better. They did everything before U2 and blazed a trailf or them to follow. U2 dressed up in drag for one of the One videos in 1992, Queen dressed in drag in 1984 for I Want To Break Free. U2 became The Passengers group in 1995 and sang with opera star Pavarotti, Freddie sang Barcelona with opera star Montserrat Caballe in 1987. U2's Rattle And Hum album was a retro tribute to the early days of Rock N' Roll, Queen did that on their 1979 album The Game. And on and on and on.
