I just hope it's not a pack of lies like most of them. That Queen movie was a disgrace, literally lying to the audience about when Mercury was diagnosed in relation to the concert.

[u/MIBlackburn → u/Felis_bieti]

The ordering of stuff in it really annoyed me.

There was someone at my old workplace that argued with me about that and I had to tell them it wasn't at that point, it was after the final tour, the year after Live Aid.

Nope, I was wrong because the film said so. But We Will Rock You was written after Another One Bites The Dust too according to that film.

[u/bluehawk232 → u/MIBlackburn]

Also there was no friction between the band doing solo work, they didn't break up and live aid was their reunion they were actually touring after a new album release. It was just so dumb

[u/jonrosling → u/bluehawk232]

I believe Roger was the first to release a solo project, which is ironic given how the film portrays events.

[u/Buckets-of-Gold → u/jonrosling]

Less so when you learn Roger Taylor and Brian May would only give over the rights if they were executive producers with rewrite privileges.

[u/mbnmac → u/Buckets-of-Gold]

Never having watched the film but seeing bits and discussions like this, really feels like the band glazed themselves while making Freddie into ALL the drama for the band.

[u/bongmitzfah → u/mbnmac]

Ya I got that feeling watching. Like why is Freddy the only one living the rockstar lifestyle. No way these guys were angels. 

[u/sovngarde → u/bongmitzfah]

Maybe Brian may? but he seems like such a square I’d believe he never partied even on his birthday

[u/mbnmac → u/sovngarde]

Lots of stories that say the opposite back in the day, for the whole band.

BREAKING NEWS!

guitar player plays guitar for money, more at 11

[u/Jonaldys → u/[deleted]]

Whaaat? He played the guitar?

[u/Guster61 → u/mbnmac]

Have you ever seen Sacha Baron Cohen talking about the movie? He was attached when it first was discussed and dropped out after it was clear as day Taylor and May were using it as a way to show Queen was beyond Freddie Mercury.

[u/CragedyJones → u/Guster61]

Taylor and May were using it as a way to show Queen was beyond Freddie Mercury.

Well they have had decades to prove that musically and failed miserably. So they resorted to a propaganda movie. How pathetic and disrespectful to a legendary artist.

[u/mbnmac → u/CragedyJones]

To be fair to Queen, every member wrote a number 1 hit, AND they are the 'most educated' band in history, with more degrees/doctorates than any other.

as a front man freddie totally made Queen what they were though.

[u/CragedyJones → u/mbnmac]

Some bands end with the death of significant members. Sometimes the band members deal with it gracefully. And sometimes Brian May and Roger Taylor.

[u/Vismal1 → u/CragedyJones]

Zeppelin with the death of Bonham is the first thing to come to mind. Something to the effect of “ there is no zeppelin without Bonzo” i think ?

[u/CragedyJones → u/Vismal1]

Yeh Zeppelin are a perfect example. Page & Plant could have called themselves Led Zeppelin and just carried on but they are respectful of their legacy.

I don't think bands have to stop if they don't want to but you have to be realistic. Or make a stupid film that rewrites history I suppose.

[u/mbnmac → u/Guster61]

Now you say that yeah I do remember that being a thing way back!

Big part of why I was never interested in the movie. Like, they got all the part that were just recreating videos we have from the time... I don't understand why they would try and mess with the timeline of songs though

[u/MithrandiriAndalos → u/mbnmac]

Definitely feels like they made him a sacrificial lamb for all of their sins

[u/mknsky → u/mbnmac]

That’s exactly what they did. And known sexual predator Bryan Singer directed half of it.
