[@bacarandii]

In the mid- to late-seventies, when stripped-down punk was exploding in the UK, Queen was obviously seen as a decadent, grandiose dinosaur of a glam-prog pop band. Punks and "new wavers" generally rejected Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, too. It's a natural thing for a new generation to symbolically kill off its immediate predecessors. But unless a member of the band did something bad to you or someone you know personally, "hate" seems like a strong word...

What amuses me today is I remember being really disappointed with 'Bohemian Rhapsody' but it was just because I was a naive child. When it was time for the nutso middle section of the song, the band left the stage and there was just a light show, and it was obvious we were listening to a recording.

[@Lilah1754]

@CountBrass I know! I don’t get the point of this video. I’m sure these now Senior musicians could care less . Plus Freddie is dead over 30 yrs. Not everyone liked everyone’s music. Big surprise.

Why the hell would anyone hate Freddie and queen? It's ridiculous. It's impossible to hate them.

[@fredlight]

Funny, those on video who "hated " Queen did not have half the success had....

[@ramonek9109]

Yeah, the cure never really had any success.

[@michaelwilson2340]

The Cure are still going strong. More of a thinking person's band. Plus they didn't play Sun City like Queen did. A large blemish in Queen's history. Today's "Queen" are just a tribute act with a former America's Got Talent runner up as the singer. Nice way to dilute the myth. And when it comes to Freddie worship? At least Robert Smith isn't long dead from sexual excess. That's a fact.

[@Walsh_Lives]

I wouldn’t say that, Kansas was and is one of the most greatest progressive rock bands of all time and Steve Walsh is one of the greatest rock vocalist of all time, so saying that they won’t have the amount of success Queen have is definitely not true, same thing with Oasis, the thing is they will be known in 100 years because Gen Z loves the band.

[@fredlight]

@Walsh_Lives Your opinion, I'm talking about facts...Queen are known everywhere in the world, and don't even compare their total sales : more than 30 millions for Kansas, more than 250 Millions for Queen...so when I wrote what I wrote, I was right and still am. Facts.

[@ramonek9109]

@@fredlight Who cares. To paint somebody who sold 30 million albums as some kind of jealous underachiever who didn't make it in life and therefore cannot be trusted to give an honest judgement about another band is silly.

That was he was like on camera but behind close door Freddie he quite reserved and very shy. I miss Freddie and his funny antic, I miss his wonder voice. I miss see and hearing Queen . I born the year Queen was form so heard near all my life. To Queen and Freddie thank for song, video. RIP Freddie 🌈

It's ironic, because I see a lot of parallels between what Queen were doing and what Bowie was doing, but Smith, Weller, Gallagher all love Bowie (I think).

As for Gallagher, well, flash in the pan comes to mind😆😁

[@christophercharles9645]

I like the Jam well enough - I kind of adored them when I was in my teens - but I think Queen's music is far more memorable and lasting than all the other singers/bands combined.

[@SelectCircle]

As much as I like Queen - and love anyone who defends them ... I'm starting to fear that their stuff isn't aging well and is starting to sound corny - whereas their critics in this video did stuff that is genuinely ageless.

[@Lilah1754]

@SelectCircle You think? I hope not. Wish the younger people knew more of Queens early catalogue of music and early albums, and not just their major hits. With the exception of Kansas, I really don’t know the other critics songs at all!

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

@@SelectCircle Queen's music has aged far better than most music from the 80's especially punk. There was a Queen song that recently made it into the charts. You will not get that from 80's punk bands. Queen are no. 35 on Spotify they have similar streaming numbers to Beyonce.

@ Listen to March of the Black Queen from their second album. Lots of diehard Queen fans agree with me that's their best song. But just recently - it's starting to sound corny to me - as a recording. It needs to be redone. When I play it for young people I find myself having to apologize for it first - ask them to make some allowance for its age. Yeah - I'm thinking they're not aging well. As compositions their stuff is still great. But as recordings ... maybe not so much anymore.

[@drimmie]

None of these people's music nor opinions matter to me. Queen are better musicians, better people and have achieved more in their lifetimes than all of those losers combined. Queen are legendary, the rest of that list are mediocrity.

[@GaryHagen-e4w]

Although not a huge fan, I don't see how you couldn't like Queen. They were a very talented band. I liked the way they didn't care what was happening at the time. In the Eighties, they didn't bother about what was going on at the time but just got on with it there own way. As the drummer, Taylor once said,' Queen decided not to be fashionable or compete with anyone'. It worked and they were very successful.

[@brucecall1595]

Not just musicians. Love them or hate them they are an aquired taste. Everyone can find several songs they love. And likewise they hate.

[@ewancarmichael3412]

Sweet had a gripe with Queen in the middle 70s as they figured they were copying their style. They even wrote "Queen are a bunch of winkers" on their Give Us A Wink album cover. There's also a part of Bohemian Rhapsody that sounds like it's copied from Sweets song "Action". I think they ended up okay with each other at the end though.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Yes, it is quite hilarious. I like Sweet but obviously Queen did not copy them. The problem for Sweet was they began almost as a boyband they did not write their own material or play on their own albums at the start. It is a shame they did have the talent to do their own thing. But in those years you lost respect in the rock community if you did not do your own thing. Queen always did everything themselves even their production right from the start.
