Hillonearth Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 1 hour ago, Ross. said: I've read that he also thought it skirted over too much of Mercury's private life, particularly his sexuality and it was pointless making the movie if it didn't cover that side of things in detail. Not a huge Queen fan but Mercury was an astounding front man. You know, that was maybe the saddest thing about that film, the fact that although Mercury was comfortable with his sexuality it appears that the rest of the band might not have been going by the way they allowed it to be portrayed . The whole project came across as being a bit of airbrushed legacy building by a band nervous of presenting anything that showed them in a negative light. Compare and contrast The Dirt - the near contemporaneous biopic of Motley Crue - which is never going to win any awards, but knocked Bohemian Rhapsody into a cocked hat on two counts; firstly by being a reasonably honest portrayal of a shower of scumbags who aren't bothered in the slightest about anyone's opinion of them, and secondly being for the most part screamingly funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 The dirt is a great film. Bob is a c**t. George Michael is a hero. Annabel Giles what a blast from the past and still a wid. Queen are over rated as f**k and would have been nothing without big Fred. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Queen are shite. @The Moonster. Read this and know that I know the difference between "Queen are shite" and "I don't like Queen but actually Queen are very talented individually and collectively and if people don't like them they need to know it's just personal taste not an objective judgement of them as musicians and people" Queen are shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much so that he went on to release 9 solo albums (including 4 in 9 years) and one with Black Sabbath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 The only reason Ozzy is still famous is because of his family and his drug habit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not aware of this, brilliant. Just read there that Black Sabbath took to the stage at five to ten in the morning local time. That must've been bizarre to see. Edit - Found the schedule on Wikipedia and Black Sabbath weren't even the first act on the Philadelphia stage. The first act on stage that day was before 9am and some random guy called Bernard Watson just turned up and went on.

Raidernation Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 A lot of people don't realise that Bo Diddley also played at Live Aid, appearing during the opening song of George Thorogood's set. It was only broadcast in Norway and Germany for some reason but thanks to the wonders of YouTube... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXMgx92muQoThank you for this [emoji106] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
