NotThePars Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 This is now a U2 thread. Imagine saying this after we just got on to an actual legend like George Michael. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would've been some Live Aid. Black Sabbath did perform at Live Aid! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 20 hours ago, Hillonearth said: It could have been worse though...I believe the reason Sascha Baron Cohen left the project was due to Brian May's lunatic early insistence that the only interesting member of the band should be killed off halfway through the film, and the rest of it should be about their thrill-free subsequent re-emergence as their own tribute band post-Freddie. 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only broadcast in Norway and Germany for some reason but thanks to the wonders of YouTube... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXMgx92muQo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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...
