Here is an early live version in 1974

I'm sorry, but that was so ironic it coulda been on the Simpsons. One of the biggest homophobic jerks doing a duet with Elton John ... in a Freddie Mercury tribute! Just reeks of photo op ...

May's guitar sounded very thin and washed out there, too.


Love the song, hate the tribute.

I agree with TO on that, especially Metallica turning up to a Queen thing. When watching the Metallica clips, I couldn't help wondering what the audience were thinking, they won't have been metallers really would they?

I don't know - many long term Queen fans are no strangers to heavy metal
Queen used to excell at it - and Freddie could really sing (unlike many metal vocalists)
This song from Queen II : Ogre Battle

Just to clarify --

I'm not knocking Queen, just the necrophilia that goes on in someone's name to boost ones own career (You hear me, Randall and Zakk?????).

Extreme were the best group there, their Queen medly was fantastic, and Gary Cheron is the only peron who could make a decent replacement for Freddie, he was superb, and their vocal harmonies live are outstanding.

When I first watched that concert live on tv I thought Axl Rose was the coolest thing ever, but I was 16 then.
Now I think he is a homophibic, sexist, racist washout.
How times change

That honour of the night goes to George Michael when he did 'Somebody To Love' imo.

I need to dig out this DVD and re-watch it now  :roll:

Freddie Mercury was a Genius, regardless of sexuality. I've never quite got axl rose though? He looks like a RAT in the video. lol
