And here, I'll list some of my interesting finds whee

The Kashmira Cooke Interview ( Yes, Freddie's sister, Kashmira~ )
Taken from www.mr-bad-guy.com 3nodding Kashmira and her husband, Roger, share their insights on Freddie-kins :'D

- John's son, Michael, was a guitarist for the band 'The Bakers'.

- Robert Deacon (Deaky's first born) used to work for the music industry before. Though I don't know what job he took, but according to John, it certainly didn't involve singing or playing instruments.

- Jimmy May (Bri's son) has his own online fanclub which he visits and posts in. The link can be found at jimmymay.co.uk (under the 'Club' link).

- Jimmy May also hosted Top Gear once, the same episode where Roger was handed a faulty trophy xd

- According to John, Joshua (his fourth child) is a keen computer game player. Hmm...Joshua the gamer huh? What're the possiblities he might be on Gaia :'D

- Jamie (Mary Austin's second son) wore a Pokemon shirt :'D I kid you not...it's the same one you see at the online Pokemon store if I'm not mistaken.

See that waistcoat Freddie's wearing? If you didn't know yet, the cats imprinted on his shirt are actually his own! The lovely little furballs are Delilah, Oscar, Romeo, Goliath, Lily and Meko :3

Note: The other previous posts were deleted 3nodding

Deaky sings!

I thought this was from Live Aid or something of that sort, but according to a guest on a Japanese website, it's actually from Live at Mirano (14th Sept. '84). 3nodding

Memai's thoughts? He's okay...not stellar xd

Wewt~ Updated

Brian May had experience wearing a skirt surprised
(For those who don't know yet)

As you all know, Brian had to school in an all-boys school, thus no females were present domokun Of course, being the ever proper school he attended, they did throw school plays and the like.

Brian once auditioned for a play (I can't remember what it was called). He got in the play...but unfortunately, this role for Brian didn't quite suit him...for you see, he had to play the role of a woman. Dress and everything rofl

Personally, I think he's the woman that's seated in the middle (the one with the lighter colored dress). Hmm...so I suppose when he had to don a nightgown for 'I Want to Break Free', the draft from the skirt didn't feel all that different to him heart


Shh...John's creating!

*ahem* Sorry, more Deaky-stuff. I can't help it xd

Anyway, there's a notable difference between the way John and Brian write songs.

Brian: Quite like how a normal musician would do it, really. He'd pace about the room (usually with the other guys present) holding a pen/pencil and a notebook/piece of paper. Often times, he'd hum the tune of the song and ask the other guys' opinion; to see if there's anything that need to be changed, if the tempo was in time with the lyrics. Those kind of things. Deaky, however~

John: He's the total opposite. He would sit in the corner of the room, Freddie/Bri/Rog watching him closely, with a cup of tea or a glass of soda by his side. The man wouldn't say a word, he wouldn't even hum the tune, he'd sit there silently until he thinks his work is good enough to be commented on by the other guys. With him being silent and all, the other guys did the same as well.

One time, Roger came into the room when John was in the midst of writing something, Freddie of course, was in the room as well. Roger stood there for a while, before saying loudly, "Oi! Whose funeral is it anyway?!"

Freddie quickly cut him off and quickly said, "SHHHH!!!! John's creating!"

I find that sentence quite amusing XD Shows some of Freddie's artistic randomness (we artists are always random...so why can't Freddie be?)

This also gave birth to John's rather short-lived nickname of 'the ostrich', because he won't say a thing unless he produces a perfect egg.


Why don't you take a little piece of my heart?

Some Rog stuff (courtesy of Popo heart !)


- According to Rog, Rufus can play the drums really well heart He also mentioned how Rufus was a fan of Queen and even as going as far as to admiring The Beatles (Oh Popo~)

Rufus even joined Rog on the drums once on 'We Will Rock You' during a party for an eclipse during...99' or 2000, in Cornwall 3nodding Aww~!! heart

- And again, by Roger's claims, Felix (his lovely first born) is an amazing singer, "...And he does a dead ringer Bob Marley. He's absolutely amazing!" xd

These above were taken from an interview during the "Queen Fan Club Convention 2001", with the lovely Jacky being the interviewer (well, it's a given, she is the head of the club, I've heard).

Hurhurhurhur~

I think this thread needs to be named, "Memai's Mini Shrine o' Deaky, don't mind the crazy Miko" or something of the sort, because, yes...another Deaky fact:

- Sometimes during live shows, fans have caught a glimpse of Deaky licking his fingers whenver he had to play a number that required him to pluck the strings with his fingers. No jokes were made about it, sadly~

- John used to smoke...a lot. According to Ratty, he didn't know why John smoked a lot, perhaps because of stress. Veronica (John's wife) also smoked as well during that time. Freddie only smoked other peoples cigarettes or Silk Cut Mild ones. I hope he doesn't continue the habit ;3;

I tripped over a very interesting Freddie bio a while back, called We Must All See to Believe. It's very interesting reading, though I'm not sure how entirely accurate. Since it's a translation, there are several places where English is broken, but there are a lot of pics throughout the chapters.

I just took a look at the site for the first time in ages, and it appears that when you click the link, you'll be met with a seemingly blank page (aside from title and dedication. Never fear! Just highlight the blank area to get the chapter links. The story will appear in a pop-up. Also, I don't seem to be able to see the pics anymore, but it may just be my comp?
