Roger Daltrey interview at Tribute to Freddie Mercury

[@stephmacc9992]

Bless him for mentioning Brian, Roger and John. Very considerate

[@alexandergenov]

Indeed, back in 1992 it was relevant mentioning Brian, Roger and John together. Nowadays only John deserves to be mentioned. The other two are active enough in the media and speak more than enough. A lot ot talking, a lot ot publicity and zero creativity. Zero music. This concert, as well as ''Made In Heaven'' album, was the epitaph of Queen and it was so wrong to involve this name in substandard activities afterwards.

[@fab2263]

Such a humble , sweet man and one of my favorite people of all time. I liked how he was sensitive to the feelings of the other members of Queen l . Extraordinarily nice !

[@alukuhito]

Humble? LOL.

[@terryanngallagher3605]

This man is such an incredible human being. Sweet, empathetic, kind and so much fun, not to mention the greatest singer of my life, brings me so much joy...love ya, Rog!!!!!!

[@KowalskyLeon]

Roger Daltrey is simply a GOOD, HONEST MAN.

[@charliehustle1540]

I know someone Who met him at a meet & greet ! Nicest guy in the world , very humble & down to earth .

[@helenbryant404]

I’ve met Roger twice, and he really is lovely! So warm and friendly.

[@DG-sf9ei]

He's got as much credentials as anyone or more to be a complete snob, yet he's level headed. There are amateurs with less than 2% of his contribution to music who have an ego and think they're better than everyone.

[@sralyn]

I've met him several times...every bit as BOOtiful inside as he is outside. Gives amazing hugs, but doesn't allow nose kisses. (lol)

[@jamesiw611]

He was always a class act

[@JonBecker81]

He kept saying it’s unimaginable to lose a band member like Freddie but Roger was probably the only one who sang that show who really DID understand what it would have been like. Keith Moon was the star of The Who just like Freddie was the star of Queen.

[@instantkarma8777]

Sorry, wrong. Robert Plant lost Bonzo. We all know it devastated Led Zeppelin so much they disbanded.

[@karynsheer4304]

Roger Daltrey looked great here!!!

[@sralyn]

When does he not look great?

[@dragicavujanovic]

So true. Roger is beautiful inside and out.

[@joemacinnis1972]

Roger is a great guy! Always has time for his fans

[@ashe984]

My sweetie darling Freddie always and forever.

[@sleazyweaz]

Roger - the true Ace Face.

[@Monterey2am]

Roger - you looked ace here. I was at this tribute gig and The Who frontman was amazing as always

[@sralyn]

Love his "Tommy Revisited" look that year.

[@reneeherr4145]

Freddie is the whole reason we are here never forget it ❤

[@longliverockgirl]

I love Roger...........

[@sralyn]

Our sweet babboo.

[@tatianaroveda]

I think now that Freddie doesn't have to give these interviews-would really make him happy...We love you Freddie. Happy 50th Anniversary. ❤ #Integrity

[@lovemykiss9]

Queen and The Who - best British rock bands to grace the Earth.

[@gilbertorodriguezmunguia3773]

Hey men. There is also Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones.

[@sodapop83]

@@gilbertorodriguezmunguia3773 yeah... but queen and the who... omfg beyond legends

[@brendendesimone9278]

Black Sabbath, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Depeche Mode, The Cure, and of course the Beatles. England had a lot of great bands

[@64siskat96]

Brenden DeSimone actually britain has got THE best bands

[@no1nestandsalone387]

Yeah Whatever fuck you they rock

[@sodapop83]

i still remember watching this whole gig...

[@dwaynestorozuk6191]

What a gentleman

[@QueenAllTheWay]

This was during Under Pressure, you can hear it in the background.

[@TheBeatlefloyd]

man i love daltrey, such a sexy and nice man, HA that certainly is a rare thing

[@alukuhito]

Erica Ehm! Blast from the past!

[@JerbalKing]

Awesome, never seen this before. Thanks.

[@davidwbeaton]

Awesome…

[@FragglevisionReturns]

I have this entire concert from the MuchMusic airing with the commercials intact.

[@mrbpis]

so did I on VHS. The tape wore out so I bought the DVD, but it lacks these backstage interviews which were awesome.

[@RB747domme]

FragglevisionReturns I have this concert in full with no Commercials whatsoever. Because it was hosted by the BBC. We don't have commercials in the UK on these channels.

[@mottthehoople684]

great insight...friends in the Business..what is that....

[@marytamone5095]

Very classy

[@helenbryant404]

He's so naughty! 'We all drop our trousers at the end!' But yeah, just as sweet and lovely as he ever is. I kinda miss the long hair, these days! 😉

[@CathyMcNair]

I did love that hair, though it would probably look silly on him now.

[@MitchSwitchify]

+Cathy McNair yes just look at brian may now

[@SoftTangerineDreams]

I always respect classic rock acts who have the guts to actually cut their previously long hair. David Gilmour, John Paul Jones, Ringo Starr and Roger Daltrey, of course!

[@instantkarma8777]

@@SoftTangerineDreams Yep, but imagine if Ozzy cut his? I can't!

[@SoftTangerineDreams]

@@instantkarma8777 ...Ozzy is an exception, lol!

[@henry9266]

Nice

[@hando88c]

Roger should grow his hair back

[@betoneitor3498]

He's old

[@Fitzroyfallz]

So?

[@helenbryant404]

I wish he would, but I don’t think he ever will again. I expect he would say it wasn’t age appropriate.

[@noahreaves8235]

@@helenbryant404 yep. Roger likes to act his age, even though I think he could still pull off the hair

[@justinneill5003]

I was just thinking the same thing today. I just finished reading his book; its everything you can imagine & more, I learned a lot from it. He’s fantastic for his age considering the life he’s led but that’s probably because unlike thd rest of the band he managed to stay clean, and had a healthy stable home life down on his farm.

[@fab2263]

@SnugglySara - I agree!

[@Yunglizard2777]

How on earth is he an hour over 30 in this

[@SoftTangerineDreams]

Isn't he almost 50 here? Absolutely unbelievable!

[@andrenewcomb3708]

Her majesty's a pretty nice girl. Someday I'm going to make her mine.

[@SL-vi4tk]

To think what might've happened to The Who if Roger didn't put a stop to the band's use of amphetamines... they may have completely self destructed. They owe him big!

[@VolvoImpala]

So I hear Roger and Pete were constantly at each others' throats. They just innately pissed each other off. So you have Pete slagging him off every chance he gets. Meanwhile I haven't heard anything from Roger. You'd think he could have slipped in a "Pete is a tosser" comment in this interview. Just a little one, barely noticeable.

[@helenbryant404]

Maybe Cathy! He's still gorgeous though...

[@MySundin13]

Good ol Erica Ehmm....or however she spells it..

[@alukuhito]

Remember?

[@QueenAllTheWay]

Do you still have the whole tv special? I’m working on a video for the 30th anniversary of the tribute concert for my channel and with all the other specials I came across from different stations, would love to include this one if you still have it.

[@CathyMcNair]

Sort of? I recorded it all at the time (on VHS!), but later on, I only digitized the parts that weren't on the official DVD of that era - the performances of bands on their own (without the remaining members of Queen) and the clips / interviews like this one. Let me know if that 2 hours 15 mins of stuff is of interest.

[@QueenAllTheWay]

@@CathyMcNair I’d be interested in the whole thing. How did you transfer your tape? Do you use a capture card or convert to DVD? Either one is fine, but if you ever consider parting with the tape itself, i'd be willing to pay for postage to the US and do my own transfer.

[@CathyMcNair]

@@QueenAllTheWay I transferred it to DVD years ago, then converted the DVD to MP4 later. I'd have to see if I still have the VHS itself.

[@QueenAllTheWay]

any updates?

[@rajbeast]

how is moon indirectly referenced here?

[@transbender5906]

I know this is from 10 years ago and you could be dead, but to answer your question it’s not indirect. The interviewer mentioned that Roger had been through something similar to what Brian, John, and other Roger were going through here. They both lost incredible friends. Freddie Mercury and Keith Moon were both great characters and I think Roger can sympathize with what Queen was going through because The Who went through the same thing. Sorry.

[@trikkerman1]

A Tom Petty tribute is way overdue.

Alguien puede traducir jajaj

[@user-ck6bq5zf6k]

Roger Daltrey talks about Freddie’s death and how it is for Roger, Brian and John and show it, like The Who were never in this situation! I mean, 1978 died Keith Moon and this was the end of The Who!

[@instantkarma8777]

It wasn't the end of The Who at all. Kenny did a great job. But it was the end of Led Zep when Bonzo died!

[@drummer78]

Roger loved Keith and his playing. He had a very tough time with his death.
