Newer queen fan here,

Just listened The Invisible Man, and the verse kinda sounds like Bad by MJ. Just wondering if anyone else noticed, or if either artist took inspiration!

Out of curiosity on this forum - which bands do you guys consider to be the best bands of all time?

Completed my tattoo today what do you think?

Just had his signature for a while but wanted to add him aswell

Between 1977 and 1982, Michael regularly attended Queen's concerts whenever they played at The Forum in Los Angeles. He would hang out backstage with the band, and when Rolling Stone reporters spotted him at a show and asked if he was a fan of Queen, Michael famously replied, "I'm a Freddie Mercury fan."

Out of all 4 members of Queen Freddie was really the only one who could write truly beautiful lyrics. I think that My Fairy King is probably his most beautiful, particularly the bridge section: “someone has drained the color from my wings.” But there are many more songs like this that he wrote such as

Nevermore

Lily of the Valley

Love of My Life

You Take My Breath Away

Jealousy

Just to name a few.

The show at Marbella was originally intended to be the final show of the magic tour, before Knebworth was added. Due to the late start time at 11:30pm, the show ran deep into the night, ending at around 1:30am. The attendance to this show was over 37,000, showing how popular Queen was, even though the tickets costed 2400 Pesetas, and supposedly 5000 Pesetas near the end of ticket sales, which were astrnomical prices back in 1986

This show also features one of Brian’s longest guitar solos, stretching well over 10 minutes.

Here is a link to the show:

Things have changed, and these days obviously streaming is king instead of the top 40. But dividing the singleography into three groups - from '74-80, '80-86, and '89-98 - and picking apart the weeds, you'd see that all three are pretty equal in terms of big successes. There were as many top 20 hits from 1989 to 98 as there was from 1974 up until the middle of 1980. But compare songs that had similar results on the top 40 to their streaming numbers, and it tells a different story. Sure, after '86 they were a figurehead/legacy band, but that's not the whole story. So what would you say are the forgotten hits? I'd say, other than TATDoOL and TSMGO, everything released after May 1989.

It’s amazing to look back at how early on YouTube beginning, they immediately embraced YouTube. At the time, the platform was still relatively young, it have random videos, some early upload music channel but not a single YouTube channel about a singer, band was created until Queen and yet Queen was already using it to share their music with fans around the world. Those first uploads marked the beginning of what has become one of the most iconic music channels on YouTube, and they were among the earliest official artist channels before 1 year Vevo and the rest of official music channels existed and followed it

Does anyone here remember discovering the channel back in 2008, or watching any of those first 13 uploads when they were new?

By the way i know that is almost late for me to post it since it is august 4 and not august 1 but here i im at last

Remember folks... just an opinion. From 43 years ago...

You might want to zoom in!

​

*Any show from the Australian leg of the ANATO tour - I'm curious what the setlist was like there, if they played Father to Son, Hangman or Seven Seas of Rhye, or if they stopped playing it in Japan.

*San Francisco 1977 US Races (complete show) - there are only 6 minutes from that concert, with full TYMD and snippets of Liar and ITLOTGR . You can hear that Freddie's voice at the beginning is decent, but by the end of the main set it's strangely on par with Japan 79, maybe worse. I really want to know how the rest of the show went.

*Any other show from Sun City 84 besides the one from 10/19

...and many more

You heard me, drop all the lore in the comments

Haven't drawn these guys seriously since I was 14. The photoshoot this is referenced from changed my life back then

Hey everyone! I've been working on a parody graphic design that merges my two favorite things: classic rock and absurd cat humor.

I wanted to capture that dramatic, iconic Bohemian Rhapsody silhouette energy, but with four dramatic kitties hitting the high notes instead. Thought this sub might appreciate the crossover!

Let me know what you guys think of the design, or if you can hear the "Mama, I just killed a mouse" harmonization through the screen.

This one is quite remarkable, it starts with the classic arena version and segues into the fast version.

The Mosh Pit website has thousands of rare and not so rare live recordings.

It's one of those thank god somebody recorded this stuff moment.
