Queen Nationwide Interview 1982

Freddie, Roger, Brian and John rare 80's interview

[@musiclove4635]

Four men of intelligence with college degrees and a knack for writing hit songs and captivating audiences worldwide.

[@loramiranda8740]

What a great group of 4 men in the world!

[@Jman-lb3qn]

Perfect formula.

[@shobhaupadhyaya880]

Freddie doesn’t have a degree, he has a diploma in Graphic Art and Design from Ealing College of Art.

[@kapuagutchen8171]

Their degree wasn't gonna make them rich as they are now... Its business and music that was gonna make them rich and well off and its proof 3 of them---they are still living it up 2day and their Families. They chose Music over Business and it was a good choice.

[@paultaylor47]

They were not very intelligent with the album they were promoting with this interview. Hot spaces was such bad direction musically that it threatened to end the band . This disco type album was about four years after that trend died

Some people hate to be interviewed. I hate to be photographed except with family members. I DO NOT KNOW WHY.

[@ellenw391]

It was the eara. Everyone always had a cigarette then. I was a kid and I still can't believe my lungs function correctly. By the way my dad died of lung cancer when I was 17. Thankfully people started learning, but a little late In my world

[@kiely4561]

He didn’t really do it in the 70s, he was pretty straight laced and all about the music, he started drinking and smoking heavily as the 80s hit, probably to cope with the intense press interest that a band of that stature had to endure, Freddie was always quite a shy private person despite his on stage persona, he always used to look to Brian to take the lead in interviews

[@Nina-oi1qk]

I usually can't stop looking at Freddie and Roger as the good looking men in this band but Brian is a real babe and Deaky is just so cute. Unusual to find 4 good looking men in one band.

[@pompa04]

Not only are they the best band in modern time musically, the four of them are (were) all humble and nice towards their fans. Queen is such a uniq group and simply the BEST.

[@adriannewest8522]

They are all extremely humble

[@RichWards-Wins]

I agree. The best rock band in the world. I could care less about zeppelin.

[@xs1207]

Interviews in the 80s were awkward for bands. It was as if the interviewer was never on their side and their job was to interrogate the artist. I’d like to have seen Freddie and the band being interviewed with the modern format, where the show is more about entertainment and fun.. they would’ve had a laugh and loosened up. Also 1982 the band weren’t getting on too well hence the 1983 year off. Thankfully they were back in 84 to take on the world again.

[@FreshCreativeFrog25]

IKR! It would have been so fun and cool to see them do an interview similar to Jimmy Fallon’s. Playing funny games and answering fun questions... damn that would have been awesome! 😂

[@rawyld]

Oh the Graham Norton show would have really loosen Freddie up even more. The fun they could have

Sorry but i love hot space and the fact Freddie did not let anyone stop him from being him

[@BluesChanteuse]

Nancy Winn Agree 1000% I thought Hot Space was a fun album and it would've come of better if Brian and Roger weren't so tight assed about it. IMO?

[@becklee94]

It's definitely a good album. I can understand how a ton of fans, plus Roger and Brian, were turned off by it because they were so used to the previous Queen sound(s), but Freddie COMPLETELY pulled off what he set out to do. His vocals on the album are spectacular and they very successfully created that signature 80s pop sound. Also, any album that has a fucking banger like the song Cool Cat is a top notch album in my book. If Cool Cat was that album's single and not Body Language, Hot Space wouldn't have fallen on deaf ears

[@maridepp53]

Nancy: I love it too. It's good to do something different!

[@Myview246]

Roger is all kinds of hot.

[@flora3177]

Freddie is incredible modest and loyal to the band .. He was the engine and the heart ... Freddie was not only a frontman, but a huge talent, a musical genius. - did everything for the queen's success !! It was a great team!

[@lorrainecimino8508]

@Flora All four of them did what they did best for Queen's success. It wasn't a one man band.

[@flora3177]

@@lorrainecimino8508 ..I don't really understand what you write.... Each boy was very talented. The relationship they have working together is absolutely fantastic! However, remember! Without Freddie Mercury, Queen and the boys would not exist on their own. Freddie Mercury would have made a career on his own! Remember; All of Queen's music features the talent and hard work of Freddie Mercury. The lion's share of the idea and implementation belongs to Freddie. Band members and sound engineers working with the band recognize this. Mercury was an absolute genius. This is an indisputable fact.

[@marta70423]

​​@@flora3177Но надо признать и то, что без этих талантливейших парней Фредди не был бы полностью таким, каким его узнал весь мир - с этим не поспоришь. Они были сильны только вместе, и успех КОРОЛЕВЫ - только результат четверых, а не одного.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@neiljones1938]

It is a very good album. I think Dancer would have been a terrific hit single.

[@DavyMackNYC]

Brian wrote Dancer. Roger wrote action this day. Pretty ironic that years later when Freddie is dead and John retired they diss the album and try to throw Freddie and John under the bus for the bad reaction the Album got. And Roger started the whole “queen plays funk/disco” thing in 1978 on the jazz album.

[@tomfloriot8761]

Not saying it was good or bad, just saying it was different from the usual sounds from Queen and I am not saying it was better or not, just very different

[@AtomicExtremophile]

@@DavyMackNYC Brian and Roger were always vocal about not liking Hot Space. I remember an interview in a guitar/music magazine where the Brian said the album was tough because it wasn't where he was musically. I remember the interviewer asking Brian what he thought of Body Language. Brian replied "Oh that..." then went on to say that it was originally more guitar-ish but Fred wanted the song as it mostly was - nearly all synthesisers.

[@AtomicExtremophile]

Becca, Body Language was an abomination, how they released that pile of puss as a single is beyond me. Look at the quality of every other single, so well chosen. Then we have Body Language, that sounds like someone coked out of their head or in a coma mixed it. I saw them at Milton Keynes, they played some Hot Space material, but thankfully they also played great stuff like Under Pressure and the old classic Somebody To Love.

[@arishafatima3710]

roger was perfection in the 1977-1982 era

[@virusbebola]

Indeed

[@Zakytab2520]

Arisha Fatima yes agree

[@jasilee9062]

He was perfection all the time let’s be honest

[@heatherqualy9143]

I’d extend that to 1974-1992. He was no slouch after that, either. 😜

[@littlemissblackdress7587]

So is Brian.

[@YeahDerya]

I agree that Queen songs of the 70's were better than most of the 80's, but Queen's worst song is still much better than most songs of 70's, 80's or anytime. And Radio Gaga was one of their best songs. Maybe you don't like how it sounds, but if you don't like the lyrics you didn't understand them.

[@RichWards-Wins]

I love all of Queen's songs. I prefer the 80s myself. But I love it all.

[@stevedickson5853]

You can tell Freddie's somewhat nervous in this interview because he can't stop flicking his cig ash into that ash tray

[@КристинаАзанчевская]

he was often acted this way in other interviews all the time drinking something or smoking.

[@PositivelyPam]

Well, I personally love Hot Space and felt it showed the band's versatility, and refusal to be pigeon holed into the same musical category for their entire career. Freddie says in another interview that he doesn't give a s*** what bracket the public wants the band to be in, as he does what he wants.

[@999freddiemercury]

the planet 'Mercury' was named after a god, i wonder if that god's first name was Freddie.

The greatest band of all time, simple as that, no other band comes close.

[@RichWards-Wins]

Fully agree. I always thought they were light years better than the beatles

[@danapayne7363]

She pointed out they had degrees because most bands drop out of high school. And the faxt they all FINISHED COLLEGE WAS AMAZING and a lesson to their fans and wanna bees about the importance of higher education. Deaky used his education to create an amp...then got a Phd at some point. So did Brian. I think Roger used his biology degree studying womens' bodyparts😍. Freddie used his art degree to create the bands crest etc. And Deaky used his smarts to handle the bands finances. As they are all so wealrhy...Deaky did well!!!! I wish he coukd have handled mine!

[@susieq9801]

Deaky got an honors degree in electrical engineering, not a PhD. I don't care because he's still fabulous!

[@Nina-oi1qk]

Brian May has a PhD not John Deacon. And Freddie also studied Fashion design during his time at Ealing; he used that to design his costumes.

[@tcbell3694]

Freddie actually got a diploma,not a degree. He states that in an interview.

[@saraa136]

I laughed hard when you said that Roger used his biology degree to study women’s body. I was expecting for you to say that it helps to take care of his health or something like that

[@333br]

I'm starting to learn more about them, in knew before that Freddie was wild, but how wild where the guys like i cannot imagine adorable John being like that, the guys forcing them yes...for sure, but not on his own...

[@Gingergryphon]

It's the quiet ones you need to watch ;)

[@333br]

Diane Sciacca He was an awkward, wise old character of course, but what do youmean by that...? Cx

[@Gingergryphon]

+Yummy Sounds : By all accounts, Roger was as wild a partier as Freddie and was usually right in his wake. Brian had his moments, he enjoyed himself, probably because of his emotional nature. He got in trouble a time or two but mostly kept it together. John…heh, the dude's full of surprises :) He has nothing to prove and very married of course, but he liked his tipple. He had a fully-stocked bar behind his amps onstage whenever they played. There's a shot in the Kashoggi's Ship video where he's at a table, drinking it up, getting crazy and then sliding to the floor while his wife looks on worriedly.

[@333br]

Diane Sciacca Oh of course i know about h ow the most of "the quite ones" are full of surprise, and i know about his alcohol issues on their last tour, but got me completely on the kashoggi ship, please tell me where did you saw the footage...? :O

[@yvettecampos8500]

This was when Paul Prenter was making his ugly self known and trying to control Freddie. Paul didn't care for rock n' roll.

[@valeriejack4143]

I agree with this, Prenter has influenced a lot pushing Freddie towards an experiment that he also wanted, but that seems to be blocked, not completely developed. I love the fact that Queen has never given boundaries with regards to music, however in this album it is as if they could not have fully opened up, and the music has suffered. The magic was happened when all 4 were involved in.

As with our close loved ones who pass on... every bit of any piece of their life becomes as precious as the finest piece of art, regardless of it's quality, the perception was forced to change by a loss. love grows from the joys and sorrows their sounds provided in each of our ways in their own way. those who loved them will always have that in their hearts that no one can take away from us . =-)

[@SteveHammettsTrash]

@@imgoodatmoaning9561 Ratty (real name Peter Hince) was a long-serving roadie for Queen, looking after the equipment for John & Freddie; he can often be spotted on live footage collecting or handing over Freddie's mic when he went to & from the piano. He sometimes pops up being interviewed in band documentaries. He's also a photographer, and his book "Queen Unseen" features his shots of the band, plus his story of working for them.

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

Radio Gaga was far from being a ''pro-corporate'' song, I love each era for its own unique sound, as horrid as Hot Space is overall, some of Brian's slickest and strongest solos are on that album.

[@soarthumbs]

Disagree. While my favorite Album is A Night at the Opera, my easy runner-ups are The Miracle and The Game, both of which are 80's albums. Also, Queen's best live gigs are in the 80's, Rock Montreal, Live Aid, Wembley. The 80's were more bumpy than the 70's, with Hot Space and their hefty breaks from performing with each other, but I still think overall, 80's Queen is almost as good (if not, as good) as 70's Queen.

[@pinkfloydiii2557]
