"I'm with Gary! Before anyone calls me a knob :) or says my comment is unhelpful let me try and put it in context. I am extremely respectful of what Queen achieved, Freddie was one of the very best showmen with a unique voice, and as a band I am absolutely aware they released some of the most icon..." [+] Reply
