freddie mercury
Now Il admit I don't know much about him other than his death and the cause, and of course his music.
I was just browsing youtube when I came across this video of him. He strikes me as a proper music fan, he had all the talent and character of what makes a true legend. He comes across as a very decent bloke who could make people feel at ease in his presence. Part 1 https://youtu.be/8wk9hPubD1Q Part 2 https://youtu.be/PnsiSjsSNYQ We really don't have many stars if any at all like him today, the nearest I woukd suggest is robbie Williams. |

Robbie Williams is more Freddie Starr than Freddie Mercury.

Great opening post other than the last sentence which unfortunately is ridiculous

Freddie was a legend the greatest showman ever, never to be repeated. Rest in Peace dear Freddie. (just my personal view) Best singer - Roy Orbison Best guitarist - Jim Hendrix Best drummer - Ginger Baker Best writer - Bob Dylan Best band for albums - Pink Floyd (Slightly tongue in cheek here) - Best live band for fun - Slade/Madness (musically crap but seriously entertaining) Best awesome live band - YES WITHOUT A DOUBT - Freddie Mercury and Queen. Freddie was brilliant and one of the greatest showmen, but one should not underestimate the whole package of Queen, that made them undoubtedly do the best concert I ever saw (expect perhaps Jimi Hendrix as a solo performance on Isle of Wight). |

Freddy had an amazing voice, deep powerful and textured, he puts most singers live performances to shame with it.

Let me clear something up. Talent wise robbie Williams is a million miles away from freddie, showman wise he is pretty much similar. He puts on quite a show.

I didn't realise Freddie played guitar as well. Seems like he had the lot.

He was not necessarily the best singer in terms of voice and song writing, and Queen were not necessarily the best in terms of musical ability eg

Freddie had a bigger range. Listen to the Barcelona album |

If Freddie was still alive I reckon that Queen would be the biggest band in the world.

If Freddie was still alive they'd be the cabaret band they were always destined to be.
