Freddie Mercury - I'm Going Slightly Mad (Totally Bonkers Version) Fan Club Message 1991

[Ninniwohoo]

Those pictures are absolutely beautiful, where can i find them? I have only few of those and 'Im going slightly mad' is one of my favourite looks from Freddie :3

[dave28coolio]

Freddie sounds desperate and very sad, he is doing his best to put a brave face on it, not easy in face of all the public speculation, also very distant from the rest of Queen, it was also a period when making music videos was the only salvation left for him now that touring was no longer part of the agenda, many would have thrown the towel in and said let me just die in peace, not Freddie, he felt it important for the fans to accompany him on his way to his impending death, RIP, a sad period.

Tongue in cheek and funny yet at the same time ( given the circumstances ) dark and eerie. This is a light hearted jokey kind of message but I cant help but find it also to be slightly dark and troubled. Awesome thanks for uploading.

[MattMinion]

I like this more than the original. Theres something trancing about this one.

[cyclonus759]

2 people are totally bonkers for not liking this!

[TheClassica87]

What a great sense of humor he had - right up until the end. Such a huge loss for all of us. Sometimes I still can't believe he's gone because it's hard to believe someone that "alive" could ever be gone.

[freddieandme]

Thanks for posting this, Dave. This is so bittersweet. Freddie will forever be in my heart. <3

[renejosundvall]

DAVE...really, tell us where you get these gems. Please!

[sugarbabe37]

'this is frederick mercury, signing off, byebye!!'

oh freddie... :')

[GlukhovK]

@sugarbabe37 turning off

[justintime1982]

Where do you get this amazing stuff Dave?? I always wonder about that.

[magiclife1998]

Gosh, my love for freddie just grew even biiigggeeeer!

[carooomargheee]

Even when he was seriously ill, he always cared for his fans. A true artist!

And thanks, DaveRFuller, for this rare stuff.

[Keijz74]

Oh yes! Thank you Dave and of course Freddie! :o)

Mssing you for twenty years we still love you you naughty little devil :o)

[dvrmas]

Thanks a bunch, Dave!!!

If my ears don't play tricks on me, I've heard "It's Frederick Mercury" at the end of this clip.

And the words "I'm half way there..." carry such an innuendo. Based on the voice, I'd say it's mid-1991. Sounds definitely like a goodbye, even if sprinkled with some great sense of humor. Oh, those goat-like "ma-a-e-e-e-ed, ma-e-e-e-ed" sounds at the end made me smile for a moment.

[kit964]

I love this! Any idea roughly when Freddie recorded this?

[fringedivision1]

Lol I was born totally bonkers :)

[FREDDIEMANIAC]

I'm going slightly mad too, Freddie, I love you so much!! You're the best....forever!

[kdj997]

They really loved their fans.

[vixenmusique]

Just when I think I've listened to every song and seen every Queen video that exists, Dave Fuller finds a new gem and combines creative visuals to go with it. Long live the King of Queen lore - Dave.

Bye Bye

[mtsn]

@vixenmusique my point exactly.

[DutchTimmie]

As a musician I just love the evolution in songs. You can hear where it is going

[GooGajoob224]

My gosh, David you've once again made my day. How on earth do you find these rarities that I've only ever heard of on the interwebs and whenever I come to check on your channel there they are. Good as gold! You truly are the most resourceful person i've ever known. Your channel is like a watering hole for Queen junkie's as myself. Now i'm going totally bonker's. What do you think my fellow Queen fan's?

[sandrativadar]

Wow! Where did you find it?

[queenrocks77]

another gem!

[fairyfellermaster]

"have fun, lots of fun. This is freddie mercury signing off, bye bye..."

Now THAT'S a goodbye if I ever heard one.

[LisaJMoore]

Fredrick Mercury.....OMG....I love hearing him say that...hahahahaha

[freddiemercury4evr]

Thank you for sharing this gem, Dave!!

[UllysesJoyce]

THANKS FOR SHARING !

[FREDDIEMANIAC]

CoooooL! Love you Freddie!!! You're The Best!!!!

Freddie makes everything better!

[StarSupernova1]

Wow. I've never heard this before. It's wonderfully creepy. I love the original song but this is great. He kind of reminds me of Richard O'Brien the way he speaks. Lol

[MercuryFg82]

Freddie Mercury is (IS, BECAUSE LIVES ON) a GENIUS!

[TheRedzippo]

this is awsome!!! great david!!! welcome back!! can use this track in making a video?all credits will go to you of course for finding this rare pearl!

[skipietrek1994]

This is from the same tape as Brian's demo version of I want it all. I know beause i have it :)

[bluephoenixone]

@skipietrek1994 any chance of sharing? :P

[skipietrek1994]

@bluephoenixone To be honest, i dont know where it is. It's probably lying in box in my cellar but i think it would be unfair to share it because i got it about 4 months after paying :D I think Dave has got this tape and maybe will extract something more from it ;)

[bluephoenixone]

@skipietrek1994 yeah fair enough, i understand! i just wish i could be lucky enough to come across the opportunity to buy something rare like that :)

[skipietrek1994]

@bluephoenixone You can buy the DVD with convention messages from Queen official fan club :)

[pethornton6]

Anything Freddie does is fantastic! Love hearing his voice & watchig him strut his stuff!! MISS YOU FREDDIE!! YOU ARE GREATLY MISSED THROUGH OUT THE WORLD!!

[viktoraensland]

We all Miss you Freddie, you were one amazing man. You're forever in our hearts!

[SethInDisarray]

Oh I just love this. Freddie always had a bright side to things, even when it was such a dark time for him. WE MISS YOU FREDDIE!
