I love Queen very much...according to me they are part of the history of music, but above all they made the history of music...Freddy mercury's voice was simply unique, and stunning, so deep and high and at the same time so tender sometimes...they were original, introducing all those variations in the same songs...they were creative and always looking for new ways of expression....
therefore you might imagine how surprised I was when some days ago I met with an English boy of 27 years old who simply ignored their existence...don't you think it strange?

Musicians often site queen as one of thier influences, and although they sold millions of records, todays kids just arnt interested in real music from the days gone by, the would rather listen to artists who have a hit one minute and appear on The surreal life the next

Well, I don't like Queen so much because I listen to another kind of music, but I agree with you, they are really part of the history of music.
Their music was original and eclectic, the musicians were very skilled musicians and Freddy Mercury was simple wonderful, fantastic, gorgeous!
Yes, it's strange and a little sad, it's a pity that people could forget such a group like Queen.

I like Queen too. I think they wrote some amazing songs, and their showmanship was incredible. I always heard that the reson Freddy's voice was sp different was his mouth's shape. I can't remember if he hasd too many teeth or too few in his mouth but it was something like that. Does anyone know?
I do know whatever it was, he refused to have it 'fixed' because he thought it might change his voice's sound.

oh I have never heard about this before but of course the shape of the mouth and the power of one's diaphragm extension are very important thing when singing...moreover artists can be so superstitious!!! Maybe it was just an idea of his, maybe he was right...anyway he had a great great voice and music misses him a lot!!!
