I can agree with you on the broadway thing, it was my first exposure to both Queen and Mercury, so I naturally dove into more of their work. It's really fun to sing along to in a car ride though.
My friends and I were all in a car together going home from a concert of somebody here in Seattle, I forget the name. There was no music playing, but I started singing Bohemian Rhapsody, and the other two people I was with started to sing along. We sang through the entire song without the music playing. It was funny as hell
I think Freddie would have coped very well with any song of McCartney, but Paul couldn't handle with much songs by the Queen repertoire. So, Mercury (with all my respect to Paul).
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico
This is talent? Sounds like a bad musical!
sorry not for me...
and...
''He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity''
always reminded me of ''let's do the time warp again'' from Rocky Horror Picture Show...
Off subject, but I recently watched a Deep Purple concert from a few years ago at Montreaux and Ian Gillan's voice hasn't aged well at all. He doesn't have anywhere near the range or power he used to have. That's understandable, given his age, but he's noticeably the weakest link in their live show. The rest of the band is great.
