It's No Secret Why These Stars Couldn't Stand Freddie Mercury

Queen vocalist Freddie Mercury made history as both a musician and member of the LGBTQ+ community. While many look back on the artist as an inspiration, given his intense and high profile lifestyle, it's only natural he made a few enemies.

What do you think of Freddie Mercury?

[@LadyZewe]

I absolutely adore that beautiful man. Rest in peace Mr. Bad Guy. 😘🤗

[@chrisbacos]

He was one of a kind. Loved him

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

If someone “didn’t like” Freddie, it was only because they were envious or jealous or intimidated by the fact that he was a perfectionist when it came to music. EVERY SINGLE interview or comment I’ve EVER read or heard (from ALL types of people… from old school mates to car drivers to fellow musicians to fans who met him) …ALL have said - to a person - how respectful and genuinely considerate and concerned he was of literally EVERYONE… And, you can see it in his interviews - how he interacted with others. Brian May has said that Freddie was “the peacemaker” within the band… and EACH of his three bandmates have described Freddie as “my best friend”. (Along with Mary Austin, Elton John, personal assistant Peter Freestone, and I’m guessing there would be plenty of others who would say Freddie was their “best friend”, as well.) Freddie wasn’t a saint (NO ONE is) but, there must be a reason the people he knew best, still have such strong feelings for him: John Deacon retired from music completely after Freddie passed; Brian May STILL does a tribute to Fred in EVERY concert; Roger Taylor has a 20-FOOT statue of Freddie in his backyard; Elton John STILL cries when he talks about Freddie; Mary Austin lived in Fred’s house among his personal possessions for 30 YEARS without moving or changing a SINGLE thing, because she said it made it feel like Freddie was still there. There must be a reason for so much long-lasting devotion.

[@DBZluvz]

the only reason Sid Vicious hated Freddie was because in their first meeting while the 2 bands shared a studio, Freddie was able to verbally put Vicious in his place and no one had talked to him like that before. hearing the retelling of the meeting by Freddie in an interview was GLORIOUS! Mercury was and still is the greatest rock voice and musician that ever lived.

He was the quintessential rock frontman, blessed with EXTREME talent. He was 100% badass. Tough as nails..

[@KepiGal]

Freddie was a complex man who in spite of his bold front man persona was said to be a quiet, shy person. He was gifted with an incredible voice, lyrical ability and a huge heart. He was known to be generous, but after his death revelations of how generous he really was came out. Not everyone is going to like you. The fact that Queen's music is used in commercials, TV shows and before sports events is telling. I don't hear about Sid Vicious unless it's an old rehashed video or story about what he did to Nancy (claiming he doesn't remember). That speaks volumes.

[@MichaelRoy-hc3lz]

In the late 70s l played in a punk band and had a long love of prog rock. My friends would roll their eyes and harass me about my Queen records. Whether in concert or on vinyl Queen were fantastic. Their ability as musicians was top tier and Freddy's voice was like no other. Brian May's guitar work and especially his tone seemed divinely inspired. I'm not alone in being a straight rocker who could care less about Freddy's orientation or love of ballet but know greatness when they hear it. Queen were great

Everyone I ever met who has met him has always said he was a gentleman and exceptionally kind and intelligent a little dramatic and high energy but I say... he was genuinely more than alright............... and better than most! He was allowed to be that and maybe he had to be who he was....... a great performer. .. Personally love Queen and The Cure ... Weird sometimes how some artists don't see each others greatness but we all do.

[@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn]

Sid asked him if he'd brought opera to the masses yet, something Freddie said in an interview earlier. It was actually Johnny who kept annoying Queen, at one point, crawling through the door and popping up behind the piano while Freddie was playing! The management had told them not to annoy Queen, so they took that as a challenge! 😁

[@robert.257]

Freddie will always be remembered, regardless of how many years have gone pass since his death. How many of these haters will be remembered.

[@ericbutler739]

Well, they weren't on Freddie's level, few if any are in Rock, but here we are still talking about his haters, which is very much part of the Queen story, overcoming adversity and ending up Champions of the World! And when you're on top, the haters will be coming for you.

[@richardbanker3910]

The funny thing was that Freddie Mercury for all his flamboyance, physically ejected Sid Vicious out of the recording studio and had the best of the verbal encounter. Freddie was a bit tougher than he appeared.

And while those haters have faded into obscurity and one even drugged himself to death, Freddie’s music is STILL being played and admired, bringing along new fans. Brian and Roger are STILL filling arenas and stadiums playing from the legendary Queen catalog that highlights Freddie’s compositions. People will be enjoying Queen’s music for generations to come while The Cure, Kansas, The Sex Pistols, snarky former friends and simpleton critics are just minor footnotes in Queen’s history. 🎤🎹🎸🥁🎸👑

[@janettesinclair6279]

Yes, their music is timeless as a new generation of fans are finding out.

[@andywindes4968]

Queen was not universally popular back then. I was a big Queen fan from about 1975 on, and I took a ton of crap over it. By the early 80's, they had embraced more of a pop mentality and even I lost interest. It really wasn't until the early 90's that interest renewed in the group and they took on iconic status.

[@ericbutler739]

That was your experience. I remember them being huge when I got into them in the early 80s and had no idea about all the great stuff they did in the early-mid 70s until later on. Makes sense how it would turn off an earlier fan like you though, I would have felt the same if I had a top shelf rock outfit go mainstream. I just found them in reverse 😂

[@bluebonnetbunny4813]

I saw them in 1977 and 1980 (and recently with Adam Lambert). I love the hard rocking Queen II and enjoyed their other musical incarnations. The last album they put out when Freddie was still alive, Innuendo, still rocks hard. They had the confidence to try new things. As Freddie once said about his music legacy after his death, you can do whatever you want with my music as long as it’s never boring!

Sid seems like an asshole himself. As far as Robert Smith which I am a big fan of, I’m bummed to hear he said that about Freddie and Queen and also The Darkness which I’m also a big fan of. I guess music and musicians always have their differences. I’ve been a musician my whole life and there’s certainly been bands I’ve played with that I didn’t see eye to eye with or enjoy their creativity style. That’s something I love about music. There’s something for everyone but, it’s not all for everyone.

Regarding the references to rolling stone magazine; It still (occasionally) surprises me just how completely and perpetually wrong about everything rolling stone mag has always been. I tried reading the rag every once in a while back in the late 70's and couldn't believe just how universally clueless the writers were. I tried to decide if maybe their penchant for being deaf and/or unable to comprehend music at all was maybe irony, or satire. But they are just too enamored with their journalistic incompetence for them to be clever enough for that. So whatever you hear/read coming from rs, know that there are other sources of music and music industry information that actually know what they are talking about. Case in point: they once had Lou Reed in the top 5 of their "Best Guitarists" category!!! Lou Reed???? Bizarre, self-important song writer? Sure. But, 'guitarists'??? That can only be humor or............................... well, covered it already.

“Them that can’t, resent them that can.” You may be correct. He loved opera but he took his perceived frustration and turned it into a storied career and music that is still valid today. BTW, hate is a rather strong emotion. Did Freddie hurt you personally in some way that makes “hate” a reasonable response to an entertainer? You don’t have to like his music or his personality or his lifestyle. But, HATE? I don’t care for certain entertainers or music styles. That’s my own taste. But, HATE”? A waste of energy. I simply don’t support them. Artists should be free to express themselves in their own way. If some don’t care for their efforts, don’t support them.

This is a great You Tube. Most of the comments are supporting what my opinions are of Queen and Freddie Mercury. The American Music Critics and Journalists describe Queen far more eloquently than I could. "Queen may be the first truly Fascist Rock Band." That is brilliant because Fascism is evil and nasty. Fascism is at the polar opposite of my Politics. The main reason for the existence of PUNK ROCK was their reaction to the pompous, pretentious arrogant Rock Bands like Queen. Ironically, one of my favourite Rock songs is "Tie Your Mother Down" which is by Queen. Even though I despise Freddie and Queen. "Tie Your Mother Down" sounds like STATUS QUO, which for me is a very good thing. Of all the 70's Bands at the time John Lydon and The Sex Pistols liked STATUS QUO, because they were very 'down to earth' and 'unpretentious', QUO were like a PUNK Band that didn't care. I'm a massive fan of PUNK n POST-PUNK artists like Robert Smith, he and I are on the same wave length on many subjects and topics. Roger Taylor, Queen's talented Drummer and song writer and I do agree on one thing and that is his opinion of COLDPLAY. Roger said that "everything they do sounds too similar." Too many people are fans of mediocrity, which Coldplay are, dull, boring and beige just like another Band I despise, Canada's RUSH. Exciting Rock Music comes in the form of Australian Bands like THE SAINTS, RADIO BIRDMAN, THE CELIBATE RIFLES, THE LIME SPIDERS etc...........

Sid Vicious sounds a bit homophobic. But remember he was also self destructive, so he may have been annoying Freddie Mercury for kicks. Kenny Everett was not the only one to promote Bohemian Rhapsody, after it was realised the female boss of BBC Radio One's record picking team, insisted that it be played on the breakfast radio slot of Noel Edmonds. I'm not surprised some people don't like diva like people, but live and let live, I've met prats, divas and bullies in my life and never treated them badly, even if they have done so to me. If someone gets too much for you to handle, just walk away. Don't bother to bad mouth them, because you're just making yourself sound petty. One bully I had at school when I was eight, who was always made fun of by others, grew up to be a bank robber. I would guess that the backlash of tongues, just made him worse.
