Freddie Mercury interview in China Club 1984

[lovevadimjaclyn]

"Funny yet sad" true!

[lovevadimjaclyn]

guys can we talk about Freddie withgout mention that fu** aids? he was a big man and an amazing artist before a aids victim. respect him!

[Myview246]

God can you believe he is 38 here - 38!!!

hottest and youngest looking 38 year old ever!

[Sebastianodelarada]

that kind of sex killed him!!!!

[giantrobot234]

alan thicke?

[beans909]

haha you can tell freddie's a little tipsy here

[carmelle127]

Oh Freddie my heart is bursting with love for you. "I'm not married to music i'm married to love" well said my down to earth Freddie cause love is really everything. I love you immensely Freddie and miss you terribly. I remember always.

[icantstopchewinggum]

it was actually 14 years they were together at that point because they formed in 1970. Unless he's thinking the first album though, cuz that was 1973- so then it would have been 11 years.

[BananaSandwich1]

a lot of sex [guy laughs] freddie -'no really'

[KISS1975]

A very young Alan Thicke

[pommieone01]

God what is it with dickheads talking about aids and the stupid brainless comments? Freddie was awesome and just enjoy what he did. Shut the fuck up

[MsDreaPink]

I love watching his interviews. He's a riot :-) 

[FreddieMfan45]

My God Freddie's a hottie and so is Brian me-ow!

[Vebinz]

Why do I feel like crying everytime I see a Freddie Mercury interview?

He left too soon.

[BananaSandwich1]

i think if i actually met freddie i would just hug him and cry

[fairyfellermaster]

freddie mercury said two things that made me happy.

1- "I'm married to love". That's a nice thing for anyone to say.

2- "a real archetypal queen fan is a sophisticated one". He called me sophisticated

R.I.P freddie mercury it's been 20 years & we still miss you

[freddieinmyheart]

...25 years from now? a lot of sex" dear freddie

[MsHeidiA]

Blame Mary Austin. Had she not left him or whatever it was that happened he'd probably still be alive. He loved her but she couldn't stand the idea of him being with men I guess.

[chrisys93]

this isnt in 1984, its in 1983

[tunelesstune]

I wish he could have lived another 25-30 years..

[michelleleawaldrop]

i'm sorry.he wanted to get married and have children. his producer said.so i misspoke.forgive me.i read the producer's interview and that's what he said

[SobriquetF1]

Dear God, why did you take Freddie and leave us with Alan Thicke?! Do you hate us?

[michelleleawaldrop]

i read somewhere that freddie wanted to be married with children.his record producer said that.

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

@michelleleawaldrop what do you mean? he wanted to be married with children or he wanted to be married and have children?

[missi44]

@michelleleawaldrop

Lol no Freddie never said that. In fact in an interview he said, "If I wanted children I'd just go to harrods and buy one, buy two and you get a nanny thrown in for free!" And in another interview, "Having a kid would be nice, but I rather have another cat."

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

@missi44 actually, I've read the same interview as michelleleawaldrop, with Mack and he does say that Freddie was not that happy with his gay life and said to him " Perhaps I'll just give up of this gay thing" he was living with Mack's family and was very much into kids as he was looking after Mack's kids and his own godson, John Frederick.

[romangass]

 " freddie you were the best we really miss you "........ alexbsrammstein19 4 months ago 3 .

alex has it spot on here.i was lucky enough to see this band 3 times.nothing gets close to freddie's stage performance,or the band as a whole.awesome is a molecule to describe their show.the humility that freddie has/had as a person and the dignity with which he lived out those last years are and were just as awesome.a one off...we do so miss you freddie and words can't describe how much.

[mydesigirl84]

God he looks so damn hot there!

and he sounds kinda different too, its like hes not as... posh as usual or something.

[RubberWilbur]

Is that Alan Thicke giving the interview. Sounds just like him and looks a lot like him too.

[Dravenswraith]

@RubberWilbur yep

[chantoya17]

Oh Freddie... if you only knew then what we know now.

R.I.P to one of the greats

[binweevilskid]

oi camra guy get this up ur viva fan dan put more focus on the camera fanny

[ViniciusFiocco]

this was the first interview that I understood...

[lucaslibardi]

Sometimes i think to myself how many fucking idiots exist in this world. Here there are so many ones.

[sara1893]

@foxyroxy2005 you are sooooo right! He sounds exactly like Alan Thicke haha

[alexbsrammstein19]

freddie you were the best we really miss you

[egocrusher]

i've always want too see what Freddie's like in person off the stage and he's not a gaylord. I thought he'd be all feminine like his videos. But he's cool. But that last comment was nothing to laugh about.

[Yo1969Yo]

@egocrusher Freddie said many times that he was totally different off stage. This video proves it. He was just a regular guy. Quite nature. Freddie was able to separate his on stage antics and his private life. Today's so called "performers" need to learn from Freddie.

[LegoMarine]

"I'm married to love." That's beautiful.

[cusparma]

where is china club?

[freddiesfavorite]

hi cusparma,

the china club is in new york ....

[MrSantiagoandDunbar]

"25 years from now, alot of sex"

[HollywoodParadiseYes]

FREDDIE MERCURY=CLASS!!!! :)

[HOLLYWOODCASANOVA]

MEMORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[45champion]

freddy said: i married to love...it is funny.

[shariotoflove]

this is probably one of the most sobering videos on youtube just from that last Q and A. this is deap!

[Gunandstrikes]

he had british accent..i do not have it...hmmm...is it important to have british accent to reach success?

[MetaGirl67]

Given Freddie's last comments in the interview It's funny and sad to realize that this year, 2009, is exactly 25 years from 1984. Those of us who are passionate about music were so lucky to have him, and Queen, even if it ended in a way that was tragic and unexpected.

[MicrowaveWalrus]

lol freddie was ALWAYS hitting on his interviewers

[CPrincessC]

I love Freddie's British Accent, it's cute and so is/was Freddie.

[423likeajewel]

poor freddie :( you can tell he really wanted to leave this interview!

luv him, miss him <3

[freddiesfavorite]

i ran into this video on you tube

it's very compelling, it's called

Brave and Courageous AIDS Survivor

Wants His Day in Court

[freddiesfavorite]

people, get on you tube and type in

robert gallo aids

this is the man that gave hiv/aids to the world

there's a new book that has just been published, it's called 'Goodbye Aids',

it's by Maria Papagiannidou, a greek journalist, she was found hiv positive

in 1985 and spent 10 years on antiretroviral drugs (hiv/aids drugs), she was near death on them, (going blind, got amnesia) only to recover when she came off the drugs ... she's alive, healthy,

read about her personal story ....

[freddiesfavorite]

hiv is a non-specific antibody test, therefore is useless, pointless

hiv is a friendly passenger virus, it's never been isolated and therefore has never been proven to cause this aids ... which by the way is 30 old diseases bunched up into one word 'aids' ....

this has been a sham from day one ....

the US government and the big pharmaceutical companies are making billions each year ....they don't care who they kill off .... DISGUSTING !!!!

they killed freddie ...

and i WANT JUSTICE !!!

[JRV95]

@freddiesfavorite The US Government? Doesn't every country in the world have people with HIV?

[BananaSandwich1]

who killed freddie? i dont get what you're saying

[groenhvid]

Freddie was always so quick and smart during interviews. Always avoiding sounding predictable or banal...very interesting guy...!!!

Love you Freddie always!

[CPrincessC]

I notice he was quick on his response. Yes, he is smart, he attended the University and graduated. I read that the entire band wanted to Finish college and they did. Smart is sexy.

[curiousme1111]

you are so right freddiesfavorite with every dose he was hastening his death we still love you freddie

[freddiesfavorite]

llucardi, oh yeah, i'm glad you are proud

of your portuguese language (you said this on the comments you have now removed), because your english really does need help !!!!

[llucardi]

lol...man, stop to sell ignorance. I remove my comments in respect for everyone here. I´m a big fan of Freddie Mercury and look, i love sane americans and sane british people. You´re insane and i think everyone around england think the same. Stop to sell this fucking comments about Freddie´s healthy and Aids fucking bastard.

[freddiesfavorite]

listen here you fuck, you respect absolutely no one and that is the reason you put up all those nasty comments in the first place about the americans and the british people ....

you nasty piece of shit ...

i wish you the same in your life, oh but wait, you're already full of anger and then some ....

[freddiesfavorite]

llucardi, why did you remove so many of

your comments ... you know the ones where you insult the english language left,

right and centre and the comment where you insult the americans and the british people ... and the part where you praise your portuguese language ....

i'm sure we'd love to read them again ...

so put them back on .... you fucking fuck

[StacyLynn1216]

I think Freddie said it here... He was married to love...Enough said

[szymonwoj1]

at last someone asked him interesting questions, I wish it was longer

[melugao]

Is that "Jason Seaver" sitting next to Freddie

[llucardi]

Of course not my dear. Aids Virus exists. Remember how Freddie´s healthy was. I think the problem is like you told: AZT kills all human cells. That´s the problem. Hugs for everyone. Love Freddie.

[freddiesfavorite]

llucardi, yes i remember how healthy

freddie was, but as soon as he tested hiv+, be began taking the DRUGS, the AZT

that's what killed freddie !!!!

inform yourself about the truth behind hiv/aids .... ....

[freddiesfavorite]

i can assure you i am not ignorant ...

i'm not here to convince you ....

think what you must .... too bad ....

[szymonwoj1]

what is AZT?

[freddiesfavorite]

all antiviral drugs are chemotherapy drugs, AZT is a chemotherapy drug, they are given to those who test hiv+

AZT is very TOXIC, it has fatal side-effects,

AZT causes heart attacks, liver failure,

muscle wasting, blindness, diarrhea

AZT causes instant old age, etc.

AZT causes immune deficiancy itself ....

if you'll remember how freddie wasted away into nothing and a couple of months before dying he was going blind ....

.... darling freddie ....

[szymonwoj1]

don't they have anything less harmful these days?

[freddiesfavorite]

hi szymonwoj1, all hiv drugs are toxic life ending drugs, there is nothing less harmful nowadays that's why people keep dying ....

they cause severe anemias in the blood, and many people have needed constant blood transfusions just to be kept alive ...

they can cause amnesia and many, many more horrific diseases .....

[freddiesfavorite]

szymonwoj1, actually i just read in an article that the antiretroviral drugs nowadays are even more potent than they used to be ...

[dreamezz]

well now.. stop spamming -) please i don't mean to offend you, i feel the same as you do that we lost him our Greatie Freddiet. i've read a lot about AIDS being the biggest hoax of the 20th century )and all that BUT..do you really believe in that theory? it's ridiculous to believe that esp. just think of all the people who died from it..and no drugs can help. what's the use and the profit of making that hoax? it's ridiculous to believe that.

[freddiesfavorite]

this is not spam !!!!

there is another side to hiv/aids !!!!

get on you tube and find out what the US

government and the big pharmaceutical

companies don't want you to know ....

the hiv/aids DRUGS are what killed

our beloved freddie ....

inform yourself .... it's to your advantage ....

[blindtimes]

@dreamezz well theres autoimmune and then theres immunodeficiency diseases like aids, being a naturopathic student i can tell you both diseases have no problem healing, the latter actually being easier. People tow the party line, give money to charities thats fine - good well intentioned people just not informed, but this is not an attack your a fan of queen and freddie mercury and that means your a good person and have love in your heart just like all fans of queen, peace and love

[Carbon657]

@madeformercury Like wild conspiracy theories much?

[dreamezz]

anyway the proof they (AIDS-do-no-exist supporters) give is very unclear and dubious to say the least of it!

[madeformercury]

people, inform yourselves about HIV and AIDS

HIV = AIDS is a HOAX , it's a LIE

get on you tube and search for AIDS is a HOAX

i believe Freddie's immune system was at its low, but because of his cocaine use ... and the Kaposis' Sarcoma he had is common with gay guys .... but the AZT drugs prescribed to treat his supposed AIDS ..... killed our dearest boy .....

[neil73]

Now it IS 25 years from now. I hope you are getting lots of what you want, Freddie, wherever you are in the afterlife!

[llucardi]

Detail: Cazuza was extremely promiscuous and Bisexual also like King Mercury.

[llucardi]

I heard Freddie contracted the virus during his visit in New York in 1983-1984. This time he was so promiscuous. Here in Brazil, during his tour in Rock in Rio Festival, he invited 12 scort boys to go with him at his hotel. In the same day he sang, Cazuza sang(a brazilian rock star-very famous) with his madness. Well, The result: Cazuza died in 1990 of Aids and Freddie died of Aids in 1991. What a coincidence.

[dreamezz]

"during his tour in Rock in Rio Festival, he invited 12 scort boys to go with him at his hotel" - оh my god. you sound like you've been there that you know in details)) or you have good sources))

[swedishfootballfan]

In 1:29 he is about to say "as far as I'm concerned"

He liked that expression :D

[Killerqueen2k9]

Oh my god thats so sad but funny :( :)

[swedishfootballfan]

A lot of sex. I gotta repeat that. It iks so funny :D

[xxxxxxkarlaxxxxxx]

Those roses infront of them act as microphones in this interview. "I'm married to love"...I'M MARRIED TO YOU FREDDIE!!!

[llucardi]

I ask to myself everytime if Bruce Springsteen saw this interview. He would be so ferocious...It was a sarcastic way to contradict Bruce. But Freddie was the king and really he was married to love at his lifetime.

[missismercury]

the interviewer seems so gay ...

[Kolenka80]

It's interesting, did he know about his disease already at that time? When he's asked about his motivation, he says

"...it's in my blood, and the only thing I can do is to write music..."

[jessa121890]

He didn't know that he had AIDS until Spring of 1987, so I think he was just referring to the creativity that flows through his veins!

Long Live ~QUEEN~

-Jessica F.

[Kolenka80]

But AIDS is just the last stage of HIV infection, when the organism gets very sick. It is possible that he was HIV-infected and knew that, and still didn't have AIDS.

He seems to be quite upset in this interview, and the last phrase of him sounds a bit ironic.

[jessa121890]

Although Freddie probably had HIV since 83/84, because that was the height of his promiscuity, he was unaware of the fact that he was sick until the media began to press stories connected him to AIDS. He began to get skeptical on his own health conditions and he noticed Kaposi Sarcoma appearing on his shoulder. He got it removed and they found that he had Full Blown AIDS.

Now, I was not there, so I am not sure of the entire story, but this is how it was described in novels by his close friends

[Kolenka80]

Well, then you are probably right.

[jessa121890]

:) It's all good...FREDDIE MERCURY FANATICS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Long Live ~QUEEN~

-Jessica F.

[bobteldy]

Aw, how nice of Freddie to grant an interview with one of Satan's minions.

[goerinbragh]

I thought thats who it was! Crazy.

The interviewer that is.

[Dagaman64]

wow 25 years is now

[kingb212212]

sweet and smart person

[mr230889]

who? freddie or the other guy?

[kingb212212]

@mr230889 freddie ofcourse

[mr230889]

is the interviewer drunk?????

[vicky19baby]

yep, they both are pissed and don't even know what are talkong about!! Ahh, people, come on, the are not drunk, why y'll suggest it? It's just Fred's typical dry sense of humour that many, like me, like!!

[mr230889]

don't know if you noticed it but i wasn't talking about freddie..it looks pretty sober....i just said the interviewer seems to be a little bit drunk while talking to freddie..it was just an impression

[vicky19baby]

yeah, right, but I rather meant all these comments above and just reply yours 'cause was latest related to this point, so ...;)

[mr230889]

ok ....in this case it's alright

[dirkworld]

the interviewer is alan thicke. from growing pains and robinbthicke's father.

[xxxxxxkarlaxxxxxx]

oh my god you're right dirkworld...I didn't notice before! What the hell was he doing interviewing Freddie? I love Alan thicke but I'm just surprised...and to think I almost talked to Alan once...I'm SO asking him about Freddie if I ever get the chance to talk to him again.

[dirkworld]

LOL. its almost like he was a nobody. i remember he had a talk show about this time..

[IvoryAgent]

Don't you guys know?

He IS having a lot of fun, in heaven! ;)

[mr230889]

yes...because heaven exists..right????

[Galomdp]

His ascent is more "american"

[klisowska]

right, I've noticed that...:) but why?

[cripplewoox]

his 'accent' you mean,american? dont think so

[RUsucks]

the last sentence looks very sad today...

[cristia74gr]

25 30 years from now alot of sex if he only knew....

[jlf26]

"25 years from now" that would be next year. Oh Freddie. Well, at least you've left a beautiful musical legacy.

[MagicFreddie]

im not married to music, im married to love.

what a guy. what an icon. what a legend!

[xallyouneedislove]

Aw.

"where do you see yourself 25 years from now?"

"lots of sex"

too bad he only had another 7 years.

[STRATCAT101]

the first second and third Queen albums proved without a doubt they are a heavey rock band,with great vocals,Brian may is really smokin on the first Queen album,Roger is one of the best drummers in rock and one hell of a singer androger deacon is also one of the best bass players.Queen is a very tight band,now Freddie is the best singer in rock'n'roll he can reach the highest notes that i ever heard.They really are killers.

[boerensmoske]

The other guy is the Dad in "Growing Pains"!!

[bozo8004]

The other guy was a kind of drunk too:)

[stnyvideos08]

Bad interview compared to Lisa Robinsons, 2nd of only 2 interviews conducted in the USA.

[dowling1981]

Where is that interview?

[merqury5]

Freddie called me(ok us then) sophisticated, I can't spell it but I sure like it.

And he really was drunk here. I do love him as a person.

[kaltas7]

What do you mean?? Called who,where and when??

[merqury5]

he called us all sophisticated in the interview, the typical hardcore queen fan.

[kaltas7]

I see - yes, I heard it. I liked it too. Thanks!

[khra81]

he was not drunk at all, freddie used to drink for fun not to get drunk like a junky

[kaltas7]

I L O V E him in this!

[qwejfoi]

what? he doesn't look mad at all

[pepy777]

Freddie is so sweet! He's pretty drunk here though, esp in the beginning, you can tell....'it's a shot in the arm'....I think he likes that phrase....uses it in a lot of his interviews. Last part is sad...25 years from now - a lot of sex.....well I hope he's happy in Heaven or wherever....

[sunryse1]

Looks again... Oh wait, it is!!! That's the dad on Growing Pains. Cool.

[sunryse1]

That interviewer sounds like Alan Thicke.

[siwa69]

Married to love! and to people! great :)

[anneatl]

sex and romance by Freddie will be very very nice... he is the sexiest man ever !!

you are always fresh and we miss you my love Freddie.

[swedishfootballfan]

Haha he changed his accent to american english!!!

[TaylorMayed07]

he's actually pissed, hence y he's talkn like tht

[alaskagirl16]

why do you think he's pissed?

[TaylorMayed07]

I dont think he is...I know he is.....he's in a club, he's drinking...u can tell by the look on his face that he's pissed....why wud he change his accent 2 American, he's English, not American

[alaskagirl16]

i'm thinking he's not pissed

[obiwan521]

It means 'drunk' in real English, you moron.

Not 'angry' like you idiotic Americans say.

[alaskagirl16]

yeah i know what the person meant, thank you. obviously since they said "hence he's talkin like that" and "the look on his face". i figured it out for myself, don't worry. i just don't think he looks drunk. and also please don't call someone who you've never met a moron. and thank you for calling me an idiot. i'm sorry if american say something you don't like? i don't see how that makes us idiots.

[horsechalupa]

looks not too comfortable talking to this guy. also it's kinda loud at this place. that's maybe why he sounds angry?

[kbhm96]

Is That Alan Thicke interviewing Freddie?

[hippypeace]

he seemed to smoke alot but had it where it not affect his voice. amazing.

[CheersmaDears]

yeah I think he said one time... he only smokes cos he likes how husky it makes his voice sound!

has anyone else seen that interview or have I dreamed it up!?

[hitmanqz]

thanks for all Freddie

[khra81]

never seen it before, and trust me ive seen many, tnx a lot dear queen fan

[GeeMeddowsTaylor]

Many thanks! :-)

[SilenceElegance]
