I'll tell you what, these guys were the first band that I truly loved and I love them as much today as a did back then.
 
 
These guys have it all, the Freddie has awesome pipes, Brian is a guitar god, the Roger does some impressive drumming, and John puts out some of the best bass lines ever invented. These guys were true art-rock with how theatrical they always were no matter how mainstream they got (a feat that many bands could not pull off.)
 
 
 
 
 
Let's show these guys some love!

Consider the love shown. From me, anyway. I love their certain....how can I say this? Their rockin' bombast? Brian May is a guitar hero if there ever was one, and yes, Freddie had pipes. That man could sing.

My favorite album of theirs is Sheer Heart Attack, for the record Wink

They are good and sufficiently appreciated.

Yes they were good , Sheer heart attack is still after so many years of listning to music (18 btw) one of my fav albums ever. One of the bands that realy knew how to survive in all decades, even if they toying with comercial music in the '80's.

When Queen first appeared on the scene they were written off as "the last of the heavy rock bands", how wrong was that ! Confused
 
I was a huge Queen fan in the early 70's, and was lucky enough to see them live at Hammersmith in 1975 during their "Night at the Opera" tour in December of that year i think, when "Rhapsody" was high in the charts (remember charts?).
 
The whole show was constructed around the Rhapsody single and album, they were brilliant and i thought this would be their peak - until their live performance at Live Aid in 1985 where they stole the show! Clap

I born in 84, so I didn't enjoy their active time... but it's amazing to see how they remain in every historical rock-countdown or top 10 or whatever... It's weird to see a successful band with that crazy music they played... Yeah, Mercury is probably the best rock'n'roll singer of all time... yes, they were the Champions... jejeje...

Sacha should have played Brian.

I was not happy when I first heard the rumour, and now I'm actually worried, since I have seen Bruno.

He's too tall anyway...

Uuuuh! A Kwien appreciashun thread!  which was incredibly short lived for some reason.

So about the film, Sacha would've been beyond great had it not been for the height. Let's face it, the guy's a darn good actor.
Now the question of the day is: who's going to play Rog?

I think Brian is my favorite member of Queen.  Dude's a genius and about any guitarist would know it was him just by his tone.

Plus, I like his shoes he wore on stage.

Nice! Brian is my ultimate guitar hero. The way that he can make that old fire place around his neck talk is still mind-blowing after almost 40 years. Had the privilege to see and hear that 3 meters in front of me.

That being said, Roger is still my favourite.Tongue
