We all know those people that want to be Queen fans. The ones who only know the songs Bohemian Rhapsody, Another one Bites the dust, We will Rock you, somebody to love, and maybe a few others. Those people that only know Freddie Mercury. Those people that spell Freddie, Freddy.
Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but you get the point.That moment when you ask someone who their favourite member is, and they say Freddie Mercury. I'm not saying I don't like Freddie or that as a fan your favourite shouldn't be Freddie. I mean those people that their favourite is Freddie because they don't know the other members.
I once was told that Freddie was the only reason Queen was successful. They told me you could just pick up any random guitarist and it would be the same. I'm not going to say who because I don't want to ruin her reputation, but she knows who she is. I completely disagree with that statement. They were all important for success. You can't replace Brian and expect the band to be the same. Neither can you do that with Roger or John. Yes when Freddie died the band changed. It seemed to fall apart. But it didn't. In a way it didn't. Yes it's true Queen as we know it is gone. Without Freddie and without John. Brian and Roger kept going. I personally like how Adam isn't part of the band, and that he isn't trying to replace Freddie. I love how they put it as Queen + Adam Lambert. I feel that as a Queen fan you learn to respect all members around the same, if not the same. You see All their talents and how their collaboration brought success. Even Freddie himself didn't see Queen as His band. My point being it wasn't all Freddie. It was every single one of em.
I also think Deacon John deserves more recognition ( poor Deaky😔).This turned into a bit of a lecture. I'm sorry, but I hope I made my point.
