This is more punk than the whole of punk history.
Iāll tell you whatās ferocious. Freddieās comeback to Sid calling himĀ āFreddie Platinumā when they were recording down the hall from each other at Londonās Wessex Studios (Queen for News of the World, Pistols for Bollocks).
Sid Vicious made the mistake one day of bursting into Queenās control room and antagonizing their frontman. āHave you succeeded in bringing ballet to the masses, then?ā he sneered. āOh, yes, Simon Ferocious,ā Mercury replied. āWeāre trying our best, dear.āĀ
Then, according to Queen biographer Daniel Nester, Freddie rose from his chair and began to playfully flick the safety pins displayed on the front of Sidās leather jacket. āTell me,ā he asked, ādid you arrange these pins just so?ā When Sid stepped forward in an attempt to intimidate Freddie, the singer simply pushed him backwards and inquired, āWhat are you going to do about it?ā Sid immediately backed down.
