Full Version: Bohemian Rhapsody: 30 Years On

This month, this very week actually, marks the 30th anniversary of the original release of Queen's epic song, and something that over the years may have become a millstone for them, Bohemian Rhapsody.
Hailed as an innovative single in its day, Bohemain Rhapsody was indeed an epic, and one of the longest singles to chart up until that time.
I imagine that many posters here have some memories connected with Bohemian Rhapsody, if not the original release it may ignite a memory of something as the song has been a huge worldwide hit.
Personally I'd been aware of Queen since their first single, Keep Yourself Alive, two years previously, but with 1974s album Sheer Heart Attack and its big hit single Killer Queen, and then of course Bohemian Rhapsody and the album A Night At The Opera, Queen became huge and the stage was set for all those stadium gigs throughout the 1980s.
It was a sad day when frontman Mercury died of aids in 1991, he had been a fantastic showman, and was surely irreplaceable. But what do we think of Queen's latest incarnation with Paul Rogers? A success or not? Discuss.

The fact that nobody is keen on joining this topic shows exactly what people think of Queen + Paul Rodgers. Most people feel that the gig is not good. OR that maybe they dont even wish to look at Queen MINUS Freddie.

RIP Freddie. Long live Freddie.

Hibee, why did you contrubute to this thread just to denigrate an artist you clearly have no interest in?
I'd like you to point out to me a current act that has half the talent that Freddie Mercury had. I hope you remember this in thirty years time when someone slags off one of your favourite artists of today, for if it wasn't for the likes of Freddie Mercury you wouldn't be listening to the music you enjoy today.
No music ever dies or is forgotten mate, and its roots go back a long way.
