No time today... but I'll try to listen to it one day this week while I'm working.  smile  I already knew he was a genius, but I'd love to see more proof!  smile

What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: Amazing Freddy Mercury

it's great to see how proper musicians and writers do it and the process by which they got together to arrange and record their songs. i'd watch stuff like this all day long. big thanks.

I love ya man, but 20 minutes of viewin on short notice when i'm working a school project with my daughter, fighting a stress attack, and laying out a project plan and budget for my archery club in order to play "guess which few words are my favorite" is a lot to ask. Just tell us what you like.

Re: Amazing Freddy Mercury

Mercury was an amazing talent, and Queen was privileged to have a second vocalist who (IMHO) was almost as good. Roger Taylor's vocals in "Tenement Funster" are first class.

Re: Amazing Freddy Mercury

Beamer,

I watched and this is what I saw ( and heard) ....

"capture the song fresh or there is no song"

That is the quote that got me ------   I have a whole log of little quips and lines - that are songs i started but just didn't have it..

He is spot on - I know when I write one -it just flows   and as he says - then you edit and make some adjustments. 

Thanks for sharing - that was a teriffic insight to the hard work and special talents of music.

Re: Amazing Freddy Mercury

1986 I appreciated the talent of Queen but wasn't a fan apart their Bohemian Rhapsody.. My wife Maree took me to Wembly stadium as we were in London, to see Queen ,which blew me away. Best concert I have been to in my life and since  then a total fan.

I was pretty close - great minds think alike !    smile  smile
I think Freddy Mercury and Frank Zappa were way a head of their time - incredible ingenuity and not afraid to be different.
