“Here is the stuff of which fairy tales are made. The prince and princess on their wedding day. But fairy tales usually end at this point with the simple phrase, “They lived happily ever after.” This may be because fairy tales regard marriage as an anticlimax, after the romance of courtship. As husband and wife live out their vows, loving and cherishing one another, sharing life’s splendors and miseries, achievements and setbacks, they will be transformed in the process. Our faith sees the wedding day not as the place of arrival, but the place where the adventure really begins.” - The Crown (S4 E3 Fairytale)

“We are the people, and we have had enough”. I thought that was excellent.

Rock star Roger Taylor got revenge on killjoy local councillors - by calling in the GNOME GUARD. The drummer with supergroup Queen was fuming after being refused permission to plonk a pair of stone lions on the gateposts outside his country mansion. So instead he stuck up the two most tasteless garden gnomes he could find. And to make sure everybody got the message, he floodlit them. […] “It looked like the entrance to an amusemant park rather than a country house”, spluttered the major yesterday. […] He (Roger) said: “They really ARE horrible, and I couldn’t stand the sight of them myself. But I’m glad I did it - and I might put them up again next week.“

“Once he’d got the tune sorted out in his mind, he’d put it down, record it, using the piano and then everyone else would listen to it. The rest of the band would then begin, under Freddie’s supervision, to put their own contributions to the song down on tape on other tracks. This would start with Roger recording what Freddie called the ‘click’ track, the backbone of the song which was the basic beat against which Freddie would polish his initial piano track. Freddie always used to say that although drum-machines are supposed to be infallible, Roger could be guaranteed never to miss even one single beat.” - Peter Freestone on Freddie’s recording process, An Intimate Biography

“I went through a period of asking Dad loads of questions about life in Queen, but you really have to drag those old stories out of him. He doesn’t give them up easily. Apparently, Dad and Freddie were Queen’s naughty boys, the ones who got up to all sorts of stuff. And whatever I imagine he got up to, I’m sure the reality was twice as crazy. Maybe it’s better not to know.”

So sorry to add another question to the pile but does Jim mention Roger and Brian much in his book?? 💗💗 thanks for all the time you put into these posts, they’re very educational for new queen fans like me 💕🥰

That’s alright, I’m trying to get though them one by one haha and I’m glad you find my posts useful, that’s very sweet of you to say :) Yes, Jim’s book does mention Queen members on some occasions.

I think this is one of my favourite extracts from the book. Because Roger’s known Freddie for years, and even he was surprised by Freddie’s new behaviour:

————-

Throughout the book, Jim seemed to be fond of the Queen members, he always mentioned that they were nice group of guys. He mentioned John a lot, especially here:

And then of course, Freddie’s funeral. A tragic event, but he does manage to talk about the Queen members being there:

————

I’m sure there was one more moment that I missed. Something to do with a Christmas party or another celebration. Jim said Queen was over at Garden Lodge and one of the gifts was a puzzle, so the 4 men sat there together like little children, trying to build it. Which I believe is just a very sweet, ordinary memory :)

We’re the bitchiest band on earth, darling. We’re at each other’s throats. One night Roger was in a foul mood and he threw his entire bloody drumset across the stage. The thing only just missed me -I might have been killed. Yes, we’re all very highly strung. Once, Roger squirted Brian in the face with hairspray in a tiny, staming dressing room. They nearly came to blows. We’ve all got massive egos, my dear.

I want to bring back the  "Neh Neh Interview“.

It was their first time to Korea and they became extremely confused and overwhelmed by the culture shock when the interviewers were repeating the word "Neh” which means “Yes” in Korean. Roger’s face at the end is just priceless, he often looked very confused in in countries whose languages aren’t english but this interview in Korea takes the cake! hahaha

Just listen to Brian helping Freddie and singing the high notes for him during “We Are The Champions” because that night Freddie was having many problems with his voice.  Tokyo 1979.

This is one of the things that my heart can barely handle

[one-hysterical-queen]

Roger to the rescue! he sang part of “Don’t Stop Me Now"  for Freddie, because after seven shows in a row in Japan he almost couldn’t sing anymore. 1979

Brian and Roger remembering fondly how much Roger HATED  a line from “You’re my best friend” (Deaky’s song)

Epic ballad, the chorus with all the backup voices is amazing (Cr)
