Queen - Innuendo, EPK (1991) [Chief Mouse enhancement]

[@christopherhowe4947]

John was and still is fiercely loyal to Freddie and that's one of the things I respect him so much for.

[@susanorchard1994]

It was Freddie who encouraged John to write songs and contribute more because he was so shy. Freddie understood that about John because Freddie himself was painfully shy. John was quoted as saying, ' there is only one Freddie, and it's impossible to replace him.' So basically no Freddie, no Queen.

[@henrypyne3475]

and that's why I feel so awfully sorry for him now ;( because I think Fred was like John's inspiration and helped him find his voice. Also, even though I heard somewhere that John wrote "You're My Best Friend" about his wife, I think he might've written it about Freddie too.

[@roxannemoser]

They were all fiercely loyal to Freddie. Brian was in a deep depression himself because of his marriage ending and Freddie's failing health. He actually thought about suicide once.

[@ashimk3681]

It seemed more like four step siblings all united for one common cause, music, and absolutely nothing else.

[@TheJayofthejungle]

John was the only guy on board with Freddie's direction of the band. They saw more eye to eye musically than the others. Still love the dynamic of Queen, a band with 4 legit hit songwriters with differing tastes that made them truly unique.

[@CameronEly]

The song Innuendo is especially because of the Spanish guitar solo!

[@amarawoolery8404]

I have always felt that "Innuendo" was written as a farewell album, and this heartbreaking video really only confirmed that for me. The band was trying so hard to act like everything was fine, but you can hear the uncertainty in their voices. The moment where Roger admitted to wanting to "Take a break musically..." He was planning ahead, knowing that he and the band would soon need a break from their adoring fans to there for Freddie. Brian has said that "The Show Must Go On" was written to reflect how Freddie must have felt at this point in their lives, and I think it does a great job at that. "These Are the Days of Our Lives" is incredibly nostalgic, it's somber tones perfectly representing the "glad it happened, sad it's over" point of view. Over all, this album is a true masterpiece. Roger was right when he said it was one of the best things Queen had ever done; it is truly so bittersweet.

It’s a little eerie at first and I think it should be because Freddie was practically on his deathbed. it is a beautiful song and my favorite part is that Spanish guitar❤️❤️❤️ love it!! I like the operatic section but not quite as much as Bohemian Rhapsody. Then the song goes into a hard rock that I do like a lot. I think that Spanish guitar was absolutely incredible and Brian didn’t know how to play it. The band enlisted The guitar player from the band “ YES” to play only in that Spanish guitar part of the song because he could play that guitar so well and Brian couldn’t play it. Incredible!

[@herseem]

No, AZT was already out, and that was likely one of the things that did him in. The song 'I'm going slightly mad' is effectively a testament to the damage it does to the brain and results in people losing track of their thoughts and inability to coherently express and remember things, among many other direct effects. AZT was a catastrophe, which you can easily see if you read the medical literature, but doctors saw only what they wanted to see, and pharmaceutical companies were happy to supply that and similarly toxic drugs. Even Freddie's own doctor admitted years later that the early medications were 'a mistake'. At Thabo Mbeki's presidential AIDS commission, both dissenting and orthodox sides agreed unanimously that AZT had unnecessarily killed a lot of people. As for Magic Johnson, he started taking it and rapidly had to give up basketball, and then after a while suddenly got better and remained well since. His ability to perform like he subsequently did would just not have been possible while taking AZT - it is absolutely crippling. The only ones who survived the early days were those who DIDN'T take AZT. Hence the saying, "There's no magic in AZT, and no AZT in Magic". I know of one guy who was on an AZT trial, and concluded that it was killing him, but it was psychologically very difficult to stop taking it when doctors had said it would save his life - and that's what many people find: If a doctor says you must take this to save your life, it's very hard to disobey, and many people were not able to stop taking it right up to their deaths. But he did, and he's now pretty sure he's the only one that survived from that group.

This post is for real Queen fans only: I think the most understated, underrated and least appreciated bassist in all Rock 'n' Roll is John Deacon. Queen could not have done what they did without him. He laid a foundation like no other could. He lent them the platform they leapt from. I can toss out some names: Paul McCartney, the originalist (he both defined and perfected the style); Jermaine Jackson, the grooviest; Bootsie Collins, the funkiest; Stu Hamm, the futurist; John Patitucci, the jazziest; Billy Sheehan, the technichalist; Stanley Clark, the granddaddyist of them all. All that shit put together hardly holds a candle to 'another one bites the dust'. So pure. Look it up, listen again, every 2 measures he changes the riff, never plays the exact same 8 notes in a row twice throughout but displays the illusion of doing so constantly. Simplicity and complexity wound together. Then look up 'dragon attack', where he straight lays it down. After that, listen to anything by Queen and try to tell me you can't hear John holding it all together. Best R&R vocalist ever? Freddie, duh. The queen. Greatest, most influential guitarist alive? Well, that would probably be Brian. Coolest singing drummer? Let's see, there's Phil and Don and that guy from the Dead, but no. It must be Roger because I really am in love with my car. (I got a classic 4x4.) Greatest bassist, then? Kidding? Do the math... =John Deacon

[@tara-w8z]

As I read comments in regards to this video and Queen, I notice there are a few people who are still taking jabs at both Brian May and Roger Taylor for their choice to keep Queen's legacy alive and well, while John stands back. His choice to walk away was his own and he didn't fault Brian and Roger for continuing. He moved on for many reasons, seeing no real urge or need to keep making music without Freddie- again his own choice and while grieving, both Brian and Roger felt the same. They had no intention of continuing but the fates put chances in their laps to share their music with younger generations. Never would any of the band think to use Freddie for their own financial gain at any time. Brian and Roger even talked with him regarding their solo careers before his death, always, always making sure to share ideas and never leave him in the dark, nor John. This band, to me has shown more loyalty over the years than any other ive come to love. They were and always will be a family. That being said, i truly believe that in some quiet, private location, John will spend an evening with Brian & Roger reminiscing maybe or just catching up. I don't think there is a rif in their friendship, i dont think hes still depressed. I think John simply wanted out- an accidental rockstar who never liked touring, nearly lost his own marriage and then lost the one person who gave him the courage to head on stage every show. God bless them all, the amazing men they are ❤

Because I had aids you twat. Regards Freddie Mercury from beyond the grave......answering your KZbin comment : /

[@jayfurjill]

@Andrew Black Yes but he wasn't the only one to blame. Some of his partners were way, WAY more sexually out of control and more than one knew they were HIV pos when they went with Freddie.

[@nate.6763]

@@redfield1007 not funny :)

[@Cyclizen]

Freddie's voice is amazing in 'The Show Must Go On," hitting all those high notes, which he hadn't done in a few years, despite his illness. Jim Hutton's memoir notes that Freddie quit smoking around 1990. that may have helped.

[@cindywitter9741]

Headlong is one of those songs you just have to sing along to and loud! It just grabs you! Great, great song. Innuendo, the song and album are a musical masterpiece. Powerful lyrics!

[@extraentities1704]

queen are the best

[@vdjalimusic]

One of best albums by Queen!!! Epic & Gorgeous!!! Quintessential & Requiem...

[@dimitrisprwt]

i felt really good when i saw at the end of the video that all the songs were written by queen . we miss you darlings

[@jezb9762]

I am a huge Queen fan and never seen this before. Love the Innuendo album.

30 years since the release of the album.. Still listening to it.. ❤️

[@Blueyedrebel]

Freddie love you beautiful soul

[@caroljmcbr]

Am I the only one who thinks if Freddie survived he would have a huge pile of BROADWAY musicals that he and the boys had written? He would have been an AMAZING story teller with his insight and talent. Incredibly SAD he died so young. Planet Earth lost a GENIUS.

[@AlexeBriand2002]

i’m sure he would’ve loved the We Will Rock You musical

[@aprildannettegosa5381]

I think they always loved each other but here the reality has slapped them in the face we are losing Freddie who we love as a brother and the petty bickering just fell by the side and did not matter brothers bicker it happens they were different musically but the same emotionally they cared for one another

[@michaela844]

Ich bin soooo stolz, was Queen alles in ihrer Karriere erreicht haben. Ich gönne ihnen ALLES. Sie haben mir in meinem Leben soooooooooo viel gegeben DANKE

[@patriciabilinkas3911]

I can’t imagine Freddie’s pain just doing these videos. He’s already frail.😢💔 Btw, Brian you are a phenomenal guitar player.

[@MarkStanford]

Four friends who got together and lived a life they loved until one of them passed away. They protected each other and did everything to make sure everyone had equal input. It's no wonder the remaining three are trying to get back on the road again with Adam Lambert. They just love music.

[@gigihrahmatikacahyo1795]

Um. The remaining 2 are back on the road with Lambert

[@tkswann7967]

John Deacon didn't do anything else with Queen after the video for No One But You in 1997. If you haven't seen it, you should. It's amazing and sad and a work of magic.

[@michellecrippen2966]

Mark Stanford Deacon said there is no Queen without Freddie and decided to retire. I can’t even imagine Deacy playing bass with AL Sure, Queen is still packing stadiums but I think the majority of fans are there to see May and Taylor. Not AL!! Freddie was flamboyant but in a classic way. Not feathers and glitter. Even if Freddie had lived, I don’t think he would have made it so open he was gay like AL does. Freddie had way too much class. Besides, he would have never given the press the overtly gay look AL gives because Freddie’s life was so private.

[@bajanconji6553]

Freddie I love and miss you so much! I would gladly share my T- cells with you if you'd come back for a little while longer. The world is not as happy as it was since you left. Thank you for the most amazing music ever recorded!

[@tonydipietro4225]

Props to Jim Beach. He’s always looking in the corner protecting the Queen brand. I saw Queen and Paul Rodgers in NY back in 06, their first date in America in over 20 years, and was smitten to see him wander out and watch the show from the side of the stage on floor level where I was standing. I wanted to say hi but was too nervous.

[@godly3731]

Tony Di Pietro It amuses me when people criticize the film for all these supposed inaccuracies, because the more you watch it, and the more you study Queen’s docs and interviews and autobiographical books, the more you see how accurate it actually is - with of course some artistic license for the sake of storyline and storytelling. Jim Beach’s portrayal in the film is exactly as you described him in your lovely words. Ever present, always in their corner, always protecting and shepherding Queen through every iteration and every challenge. I LOVE 💕 the scene where he stands in the wings with Prenter and Mary during that “BoRhap Live In Concert” scene and sings along as the song ends. Well played onscreen portrayal of who Jim Beach was and still is.

[@flaviamichelotto4050]

👑👑Thank you Queen,unforgettable band!!👑👑

[@debinicholson2279]

So glad I found this footage. Ive been watching clips for weeks now and some how missed this one. They were all so great together. It's wonderful to watch Freddie continue to work all the way to the end. Miss him so!!! FOREVER A LEGAND DARLING

[@AndrewEwing1995]

now innuendo is one of my favorites of queen albums. There are many other albums by queen that are just equally as innuendo.

[@edhu9]

Show must go on = Freddie's Requiem.

[@Isaac.Garcia666]

Actually it was Was it all worth it on The Miracle because the doctors told Freddie he would live till 89. But he lived till 91

[@Ratelzwatel]

Because of 'Was It All Worth It', I was surprised when the album 'Innuendo' appeared.

[@denisemorris3626]

Freddie so courageous knew he was dying but carried on with his perfect vocals never moaned once brilliant innuendo

[@vilmavilma2230]

Grazie bellissimo video, l'ho guardato con un velo di tristezza 😔😔😔😞😞💔

[@ScotsGal]

What an amazing album innuendo is ..considering what they ( the band ) all knew what was coming and particularly what freddie was facing and they still forged a masterpiece of an album ..still to this day when I watch the I'm going slightly mad and These are the days of our lives videos i can't help but tear up ..

[@SiriusSRX]

Almost every one of their songs is a masterpiece, no one writes and plays such music anymore

[@MUSiC-world-20986]

So true & sad at the same time

[@janiquevaillot8554]

QUEEN = THE BIGGER THE BETTER TILL THE ENDS OF TIME. "AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO IT AT ALL !!!"

[@kevinprior3549]

Innuendo is most definitely my favourite studio album from Queen. So rich, rocky, with elements of reflection

[@lindasturm699]

Wonderful video, and I thank you for it. I am in my 50's and grew up with Queen. Our high school band played so many of their songs. They are a big part of the soundtrack of my life. I will always and forever love them. I miss Freddie so very much. I like Adam, but Freddie Mercury is really irreplaceable. As Freddie sang it, show must go on.

[@StillLivinTheBlues]

Thanks for posting this. Good times...GREAT album.

[@xilefregnu9542]

Not the show Freddie, YOU must go on and you will "my dear"! To Roger, Brian and sweet John--Thank You for your love,support and loyalty to your friend.

[@0727boomer]

Love this album. Miss you, Freddie.

[@hollybischoff7490]

Thank you for posting this,I really needed it. Since the 24th I have been pretty down. Freddie was extraordinary,course they all were. I knew in 73 I was hearing a one of a kind. I was right.

[@vivianwar2271]

Time full of love in their band work process. Beautiful, lucky us, they filmed the process

[@michaela844]

Seit 1974 mit KILLER QUEEN fing alles an. Queen ist die Liebe meines Lebens. Vielen, vielen DANK für alles. LOVE YOU

[@emilramirez2960]

One of the greatest Queen albums ever. Freddie so brave...not at his best and still rocking the world with amazing performances and great sense of humor. Notice how he got thinner just from this Innuendo documentary to the filming of I'm going slightly mad and These are the days of our lives videos from the same album. Then still they made one of the best albums that year if not the best.

[@janiquevaillot8554]

INNUENDO ? ANOTHER MASTERPIECE FROM QUEEN. AT THIS TIME THEY WERE VERY CLOSE LIKE 4 BROTHERS. ALWAYS WONDERFUL 4 MEN. 4 GENIUS. I LOVE QUEEN FOREVER AND EVER

[@t4malito]

the innuendo album is one of my favorites I love it😍

[@chriscatton705]

"The spark that leads to that extra edge, Brian!" ... so right! Friction brings creativity! This is so insanely good.

[@josieangel4297]

Everybody can see how ill Freddie is. And still they are the best friend, and protecting him, and making great music ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@deborahmontgomery2812]

Wonderful collection! So bittersweet yet well done. How these gents rallied together to create such a fantastic and meaningful album is a testament to not just their professional approach to their craft, but to their integrity as people. Freddie facing terrible, his mates facing inevitable.... and in their own ways, they got on with it! All brave souls and dear friends. Good examples for all of us. Will Never forget you Freddie, bless them all!
