[edit] Obvious Symbolism?

"If one were to buy the CD, LP, or tape they would see the regular image on the front. On the back, there is another silouhette image of May, Taylor, and Deacon standing and looking at Mercury. This, obviously, symbolizes the fact that Freddie had died due to AIDS and now the three could not reach him."

A few points: if it's obvious, why mention it? I think it's stronger without the last sentence. And Mercury is the only silouhette - you can clearly make out the other three. Third, why mention this at all?

In all fairness, it symbolizes MORE than their inability to reach Mercury. Mercury is in an extremely triumphant pose - throughout life he was always on top. He once said that he didn't care if he died tomorrow 'cause he's done everything for crying out loud! May + band are now in a state of sadness over the loss of Mercury, but he's beyond that.

There is so much symbolism in here it seems absolutely STUPID to include only the most obvious point. Jvincep 09:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

By The Way... The "silhouette" of Freddie Mercury is in fact a picture of his statue in Montreaux from behind, not of the man himself. The album cover actually reflects the lyrics to "A Winter's Tale" that Freddie wrote while looking out of a window onto Lake Geneva, which the album cover shows. 65.248.164.214 (talk) 20:09, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] You Don't Fool Me

Isn't "You Don't Fool Me" a Mercury/Deacon song? Stefano --151.37.58.208 21:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

No one really knows, it was credited as Queen, but it's commonly believed to be a Mercury/Taylor composition GiantSpider 13:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I was under the impression it was a Mercury / May composition.Jvincep 09:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV Queen albums

Why does every Queen album article sound like a review? This is getting ridiculous TheDavesr 19:34, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Amen to that!! There is so much POV in here its not even funny. 65.93.86.65 20:19, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
I third that. You can usually take a few bits and pieces from one of these pages... after that, might as well go to Amazon or somewhere else and see what they have to say. Jvincep 09:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Songs credited to Queen or individual members?

Any info on this? I don't think the article covers it. - Zone46 01:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A Winter's tale lyrics and recording

I've edited the comments on "A Winter's Tale: it's utter nonsense that a man sick from aids could still write and record a song two weeks before dying. I wrote the song 2-3 months before dying, in Montreux. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by VincentG (talkcontribs) 00:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

Is this a typo, or are you claiming to have written "A Winter's Tale"?? Welcome back to earth, "Mr. Mercury." 65.248.164.214 (talk) 20:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Heaven for Everyone

I'm fairly certain that Freddie sings the lead vocals on the Made in Heaven version of this song. The article could be saying that, but it isn't very clear. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Schaedenfreud82 (talkcontribs) 13:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] The Show Must Go On?!

Deleted the entry in the tracklisting about an acoustic version of "The Show Must Go On," because, well, there isn't one on there. -Phoneclear 19:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

There's been plenty of vandalism on this page recently. I suggest locking it temporarily. -Phoneclear 22:35, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
