- Yes, it is probably one of the sadest days in Rock N' Roll history when
- Freddie died (along with the day which John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Jim
- Morrison died). I challenge anyone who think there is ever another
- singer even come close to the quality of Freedie's voice. His range is by
- far the best. This is why he can sing classic rocks(We will rock you),
- speedy heavy metals(Stone Cold Crazy), ballads(Bohemian Rhapsody),
- operas(Barcelona etc.) , oldies(Great Pretender)or modern rock(innuendo)
- near perfect.

- I think the main reason why so mamy musicians of different varieties
- (George Michael, Elton John, Metallica, GNR, Lisa Minulli, Robert Plant...)
- participate in the Freddie Mercury tribute concert for life is simply
- because they (everyone) love Queen's music. It is really a shame they did
- not get proper recognition from critics. Based on so many lovable music
- generated from the same line-up for 20 years, I think they should be
- inducted into Hall of Fame. However, I don't think they will make it,
- especially the Hall of Fame is run by American.
-
- As a hard-core fan of Queen and Freddie, I really want to know when their
- "TRUE" box set will be released and if it will contain some new materials
- from Freddie's final days.
