When ppl ask that question “if you could be anybody that’s ever existed, who would you be?” My answer has been the same for over 35 yrs:- Roger Taylor! What a man!!

[@GypsysMom]

These interviews make me feel like I'm a teen again. I was such a huge Pattie fan! And the fact that she modeled for Mary Quant made me love her even more. So great.

[@gretchenburton7184]

I always loved Mary Quant. Grew up during this time.

[@marvel-buff]

Roger Taylor and Pattie Boyd, wowow! 😍

[@beronicapianica5504]

I went to Patty's book signing in Japan. I'm a Queen fan and I said "I love Roger Taylor" and Patty laughed and said "Me too ❣️". How charming!

[@angeldove4665]

As an American I love to listen to Roger talk all day. I'd love to hear some of the crazy Queen days!

[@BessyLulu]

I would love to see the video for this. Roger and Pattie are class acts ❤️

[@kymb5651]

Pattie you’re so precious, you and Roger are gorgeous spirits 😚❤️

[@gabrielacastrocortes2838]

Absolutely love Pattie's voice

[@fifermcgee5971]

Comes across as cultured and well educated.

[@colleenfrench6374]

I love the interview with roger especially the end when he says if I’ve offended anybody good 🤣🥁💚🇺🇸👑😎

[@vickielawson3114]

I’ve always thought Roger was immensely underrated. He’s incredible on drums, great singer and he wrote #1 hit songs as well.

[@eileenceccucci1387]

I just found these episodes...what a delight! Roger is a doll. Patti, I've loved you since the very beginning when you met Geoerge.

[@picksey]

I love how they talk like best friends!

[@deborahcooney9326]

I just adore you Pattie! I'm so happy I found your you tube channel. You are one of my favorite people of all time! Much love and happiness to you!

[@gaylachiriaco8667]

Pattie and Roger together in this interview are ✨ magic. I hope they do more!

[@warrenreddaway5734]

What a wonderful interview indeed. Thank you 😊 👍👍

[@renoir8719]

Pattie this was wonderful. I remember Kensington market so well, loved visiting all the lovely stalls.To think Roger and Freddie were there too, Happy joyous days :)

[@papercup2517]

I loved the Market too and remember Roger and Freddie there! And Mary too...when I stumbled into their little shop they'd been celebrating the news their first album was finally all ready to be released, after a couple of years of hard work, obstacles and difficulties... they were on a high about it, so excited! Had a lovely chat with mostly Roger (he was the most talkative) and later, as I was leaving the market, with dear (gorgeous) Freddie, who was bemoaning the 'mountain of bills' he had to pay, which meant he was still having to work full time for another stallholder there (sometimes even coming in on a Sunday, when required, for stocktaking) as well as at his and Roger's stall. I even got to read most of the original manuscript of his art school thesis, that he was trying to sell for a bit of extra money; it was really a fascinating read! (I wanted so much to meet the author, one Farukh Bulsara, not realising he was the quiet, dark haired guy sitting on the floor in front of me!) I also saw Freddie's original Queen Crest artwork, pinned up on the wall, that he'd had to scale up, twice, by hand, for putting onto the bass drum. I tried to buy it, but they wouldn't let me! They were very jokey and funny. Roger doesn't appear to have changed a bit in personality from those days. He was a cheeky young man then, as now, in the most charming way possible. They were all absolutely convinced their band was about to hit the big-time, with the release of their album. Well, it may have taken them a few more years, but I'm thrilled for them they made it in the end! Hearing Roger in conversation with Pattie brought it all back... :-)

[@renoir8719]

@@papercup2517 Great story! Many years later I worked for John Ried but Queen no longer with them. Did get a chance to meet Roger and Brian, and they were great, very charming

[@dianecourtney2724]

@@papercup2517 I DIE !!!!! Thank you for your fabulous memories !!

[@marilynsmith9758]

Really enjoyed the informality of the interview. Roger Taylor Rocks….as do you Pattie.

[@richardbradbury8735]

Roger is so funny ! I’d like to be able to explain to him about running. I’ve run for years and it is horrible but it’s more about the whole package as in for the hour of running is horrible tho for the next day or two you feel happy and confident. Most people think running is flat out but you can vary it. I must say I do try and be happy and smiley when I see other people out and about when I’m out running. I liked the fact that he was interested in the Panama Canal and remembered specifications from the build and also was in awe of the people that built it. We are lucky to have him, John, Bri and have had Freddie 😍😍😍😍

[@jaylu8299]

You are so right, Pattie, I could listen to you and Roger endlessly! Such great memories of the fabulous 60s and beyond. Keep up the great podcasts. Your enthusiasm for life is infectious❤

[@LindaBrown-rr2ny]

What a delightful chat with Roger Taylor I do love listening to him talk and that was a lovely chat I enjoyed it enormously. I was in London in 1970 onwards for a time and lived just off the Fulham Road, although I too was broke just visiting some of those places like the Kings Road and Fulham Road and all the markets was such fun. Your chat brought it all back to me thank you. It was an exciting place to be even for us ordinary folk xxx

[@lisamalone5219]

This is Fabulous. Enjoy Every Moment. 🌎✌🌸🌿

[@jonibug61]

What a marvelous interview/conversation! Thank you!

[@TheaterPup]

What a great conversation about the old days, thank you for sharing!

[@jonmortimer5831]

Wonderful informal interview. It does always surprise me though how, (even Roger here,) people say Live Aid reignited their career when they'd had huge success the previous year with The Works album, singles and tour. I know he has previously said it was more a shot in the arm because the fact is they were in fact totally over the slight commercial blip, (by Queen's High standards of platinum sellers,) of Hot Space and enjoyed their 2 biggest singles of the decade with Radio Gaga and I Want To Break Free....They'd sold out multiple arena and some stadium dates across the globe... I mean it's trivial I know but it is one of the most frequently pedalled myths that Queen were on the wane in 85...As was the myth they'd not played together for ages. I mean they were on fire because they'd toured the world, headlined Rock in Rio etc not just because they rehearsed thoroughly...Anyway, love RT's solo work. All his albums deserved major exposure and never got it. He's one of the most prolific and finest pop rock songwriters of the last 50 years and I include all 9 of his solo albums as including some stunning work. That's quite enough of me! Over n Out!

[@dianecourtney2724]

Amen !

[@marceloabelenda]

Very very well said...every word is 100% real and true! I also quite like The Cross!

[@decodolly1535]

Appearing at Sun City killed them. And ‘I Want To Break Free’ killed them in the US!

Roger Taylor the legendary Queen's drummer, One of the worlds best drummers.

Something real! Thank you Pattie!

[@bayleeluttrell5890]

this has absolutely made my week! 🧡☮️

[@brandihamilton272]

Live Aid was huge, but I definitely reject the idea that it was Queen's explosion. They were 12 years on at that point and quite well, massively, and enduringly on fire.

[@carlstevenwilletts]

I agree with you Brandi, but remember the situation at the time. There was no Internet and if I remember correctly, the only Queen concert on video was Live in Rio. Queen fans the world over had known for many years that Queen were the best live act, but few others would have known. I personally don't think Live Aid was Queen's best ever live performance. What was amazing was how the band managed to captivate the audience when most of them were not Queen fans. Live Aid showed the world what they had been missing.

[@nachalnikkamchatki]

YAY ANOTHER PODCAST :D

[@susancooper3111]

What a lovely relaxed man Roger is, &so articulate. I am thrilled to find out he has a treasured ⛵️ sailboat, sailing is my other passion in life besides music. She could do 10 more interviews with him to hear more of his adventures!

[@maryholland4868]

Love this interview

[@angelsrxck]

OMG YOU TWO ARE AMAZING

[@mattthomas1344]

I was at RT's Shepherds Bush gig and there were a few VIPs on the circle overlooking the stage. Some were RT's children but I know realise one of them was also Pattie, to my shame...

[@stormynortherner]

I was stood underneath the balcony where Rufus was sitting. They all got very excited when Brian came on and we all got showered with lager as a result!

[@tiffanyroseangeles7517]

Fantastic interview. I could listen to these 2 all day. Surprised and disappointed at the end though when Pattie encouraged wearing masks especially outdoors. Surprised she's one of the ones that fell for the bs. Nevertheless I'll still keep watching and enjoying!
