Lover of Life, Singer of Songs... Godspeed, Freddie...

[Nonamejustpurehappy]

There's just one word to describe Freddie Mercury, he was just UNIQUE, he had the best voice I've ever heard in my hole life; we miss you Freddie.

i think the Freddie tribute concert is so unique that it will be written into stage music history as one of the most greatest and remarkable concet ever, in the way how it was done. I mean, i think it's a really rare occasion to gather so mny performers to one big gig. Especially a gig like this.

QUEEN FOREVER!

if you seen IT than you are one LUCKY GAY!!!!!

[crisronnieme]

the most genial mind in rock music......R.I.P FREDDIE

[buckfastbee]

Sorry, Freddie himself said that Brian wrote the most songs (at least at the beginnings) but Freddie had more hits, just stating a fact, not showing off. That was one of the reasons to state all late Queen songs to be from "Queen" - independent who tributed the major parts.

John was always very contributing - he was the most underestimated member of Queen.

HIs influence was big.

I love his song "You're my best friend" dedicated to his wife...it describes like I'm feeling about my husband. ;-)

[mozzyboy01]

My influence. We love Deaky...

[ProudMom27]

2008 and people (myself included) still mourn for him...thanks for posting all these great vids

[VenomMiss]

They are all great musicians and deserve to still play music even without Freddie and be able to express their talents...but they know its never the same and... He who rocked the world...I salute you!

[jkbnjkfg]

Actually, John Deacon wrote a lot of Queen's songs. So Queen may not have been as good without him

[brandnewyork48]

they all played their part, Queen wouldn't be Queen without one or the others.

[delilah2709]

i couldn't agree more! freddie always supported and encouraged john to write, compose, sing, TALK..! besides, john has always been so devoted to his family and on several occasions mentioned he doesn't want to do this thing forever.. just like freddie said in his interviews!!

[blushersthegreat]

I actually have noticed just how close freddie and john really were. Look at the pictures, on stage, in interviews - I think they were really alot alike and were very close. When Freddie died, I think Queen died for John.

@blushersthegreat John never said much, but the subtext was there. I think he adored Freddie and couldn't quite muster the motivation to go on without him. Freddie was the heart of Queen and everyone knows it. I think John's most recent (albeit surprising) quote about Queen and Robbie Williams' rendition of "We Are the Champions" really hit the nail on the head. "'I don't mean to be nasty, but Robbie is no Freddie Mercury. No one can replace Freddie, least of all him."

[fairyfellermaster]

@Cathie8791 I agree. John had nothing but respect for freddie and clearly adored him. It was freddie who pushed for "AOBTD" to be recorded and said he loved singing deacon's songs in one interview. So I believe the feeling was mutual.

[koronja]

@blushersthegreat yes it did...miss John too

[icantstopchewinggum]

@blushersthegreat I agree. I think Freddie was like a big brother for John. I don't know if I'd be able to go on stage ever again if I had gone like 15 years with this amazing performer who takes care of everything- when he's up front you know it'll be good. To all of a sudden he's not there- it's definitlynot the same...

[nostalgiamelancolia]

john deacon may have thought to himself;freddie is gone and there's no point for us to continue without him

[allenst]

come one,

he was the bassist.

we all know where the bassist ranks in terms of getting attention, having input, writing etc etc.

he nade a contribution but reality is Queen would be just as good with or without him.

u could tell he was rich and bitter in the end

[DavidRectum]

wasnt roger water of pink floyd the bassist as well as paul maccartney of the beatles?

[sourxxjane]

haha. at 0:40-1:31 roger looks blind. :P

anyway, i really like this doc. thanks for uploading.

[srihariathrey]

john deacon retired after freddie died.

[SwingRiots]

he's made a couple of one-off appearences though. 1997 I think it was.

[cyanidemaiden]

So sad ='(

[baltimoreravens9]

the end note on "The Show Must Go On" is just crazy

[jock0000]

great vid thank you

[imputanium]

Brian and Roger for Knighthood

[PrinceQueen2113]

i agree

[PuTtHeFoiLoN]

And whatever happened to John...? Most people dont realize the big part that he played in Queen.

[Pianoismyantidrug2]

Why not John for knighthood?

[1No1Special]

Thank You Very Much!
