My sentiments too, Freddie was a lovely person.

[@charleskennedy1946]

I was born in 1944. And when rock 'n' roll hit the scene in the mid-50's, I had no interest in it. It all seemed so childish, or perhaps it was self-centered pubescence. Whatever, I paid very little attention to rock through the 50's and 60's. The Eagles got to me in the 70's, along with some others. But by and large, music for me was the classics and show tunes. Then, in 1985, I was living in Germany teaching English as a Second Language. After a long Saturday morning, I came home eager to enjoy what was left of the weekend. Once I got home, I turned on the little black and white TV I had been lent in hopes of finding something I could understand enough to enjoy. What I came across was the Live Aids broadcast from Wembley Stadium I shrugged and watched. Almost immediately, Queen was on stage. For the next 20 minutes I was glued to my seat, absolutely dumbstruck by Freddie Mercury's performance. In the wake of this extraordinary experience, I learned to appreciate a good deal better just what rock had to offer. My horizons were most happily expanded. And I still think of the Wembley experience and Queen as an epiphany, my own little satori. It's a memory I treasure still and always will.

There actually was pitch correction back then, just wasn’t widely used until Auto Tune was invented as a real-time pitch correction in the late 90s. Before they had digital real-time plugins, there were studio tricks engineers used. Like Queen, who had fun being experimental in the studio. Or The Beatles.

Might have been used in the studio's back in 85 but im sure it wasn't available for live performances back then. A lot of reverb and compression yes but not autotune or pitch correction, back then you needed raw vocal talent because you had nothing to hide behind and very little to mask a shit voice when you sang live.

OK I'm old, I saw Queen live 5 times. Live Aid, to this day it's the largest concert ever held. It was in aid to raise money for the Ethiopian Famine in the early 1980's. At the time of Live Aid I was serving in the British Royal Marine Commandos in a refugee camp in Ethiopia. We listened to it on the radio. We were surrounded be the horror of the Famine, but when Queen came on the radio those poor soles who were there even reacted in a very positive way. I remember that a lot of us Royal Marine Commandos were crying watching some of the children dancing along, I'm teary eyed just remembering. I looked around at men I had fought alongside, who were tough, hardened Royal Marine Commandos who I had fought along side in a war against Argentinian's in 82. By the end of Queen's set we were dancing with the children. It went along way to help build their trust in us. The famine is one of the two worst memories I have. I only watched it for the first time last year, my son put it on the TV. A lot of memories came back and a lot of tears.

My mom was a huge queen fan while she was alive. So she introduced me to them when I was very young, I'm 32 now. Everytime i hear queen i think of her. So naturally I introduced queen to my own children very young as well. I always tell them your grandma would blast these songs while we were in the car. (There was no talking in my mom's car for this reason) I cant listen to their music without getting emotional. Most the time I get teary eyed cause the connection it gives me to my mom but also just the music its self just touches me. Like we are the champions always makes me cry idk why just the song its self. And we will rock you always gets my heart racing and I get into the song. That's magic that a band from the 70s and 80 can still be killing it with music they made then to new generations like myself and my children. There will never be another queen or another freddie mercury. I just barley watched bohemian rhapsody due to covid gotta lot of down time and I've been obsessing over them since I always knew their music but their story was amazing how we will rock you came to be.

It was kinda like our thing and when my dad left this world, their music helped me to keep that connection with my dad and the pain of losing him just when we were about to develop our relationship as I grew older and in my 30's I understand him better and he started to get me, that pain was easier to cope with through their music.
