True story: A while back there was an entry on my Visa bill I didn’t recognize. Wracked my brain. Nothing. I couldn’t think of what this charge could be — Queen? Not any store I’d ever heard of.
I called Visa and was asked if perhaps I’d purchased concert tickets … Colour me embarrassed.
I had bought tickets — to see Adam Lambert. Okay, yes, I vaguely remembered he was bringing some people called Queen with him, but who knew the concert was actually titled Queen + Adam Lambert?
Everyone 🙂
I’m not a rock band enthusiast, but you probably figured that out by now 🙂
I have never once bought any song Queen ever recorded, but that changed today.
Why?
I saw Bohemian Rhapsody — Twice.

I have been a Queen fan since the seventies. I am hoping to see the movie this week.

I always laugh when I hear “Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me” followed by the hard core guitar work.

That’s a great line.
I just added Queen’s “I’m Going Slightly Mad” to my playlist… don’t recall ever hearing the song before, but there are days when I can relate 🙂

Oh, Aimer – Your Visa bill experience sounds like something that I would have done….although probably not about Queen! I’ve been a long-time fan. Thanks for including the trailer. I can’t wait to see the movie!

I hope you like the movie as much as I did 🙂

An incredible performance. It’s a hauntingly unique song and I would imagine difficult to get right, but Panic! At the Disco does 🙂
Thanks for the link 🙂

I have been on the fence about seeing this as I LOVE Queen and heard although the guy who plays Freddie is beyond brilliant, they Hollywooded out here and there. Didn’t want to sit there being pissed off, but You are the second person in as many days who LOOOOVVVEEEDD it….so I’m going. Yay, Thank You! 🙂

Ah, I loved it, but I’m not a Queen fan, or I wasn’t until this movie 🙂
Fair warning: The people who really know Queen have some issues with the movie.
If you do see it, let me know what you think.

Yeah, I’ve heard. Apart from loving their music, I knew nothing about them until about a year ago (?) I saw a FANTASTIC! documentary about them on Netflix. I was stunned. Freddie Mercury was beyond genius….and so wonderfully odd and sweet. All of them are very lovely and have amazing stories. A friend who loved the movie as well told me specifically the storyline that’s pissing people off mostly. Can’t fathom why they’d contrive such nonsense. 🤔 I’ll definitely give a holler if I go!
