What are /r/queen's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

This image looks like it was taken from the song 'Bicycle Race' released on 13th October 1978. It also goes side by side with 'Fat bottomed girls' released at the same time.

Here's the link to the Wikipedia article I found about the song, video, locations and explanations to everything: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_Race

Hope it helps you out.

EDIT; I'll update this particular comment with extra link to hopefully help you out a bit more.

Queen had many tools, including the Deacy amp http://hackaday.com/2017/05/08/a-queen-mystery-the-legend-of-the-deacy-amp/

And Brian's Red Special: http://hackaday.com/2017/06/13/the-red-special-brian-mays-handmade-guitar/

In Brian May's Red Special: The Story of the Home-Made Guitar that Rocked Queen and the World, there's a whole chapter about it, about how nervous he was about being able to do it live, in sync with the orchestra.

For those who were asking about buying it, one amazon search away.

I got a piano book on Amazon that has the piano music as it appears on the albums: Queen: Note-for-Note Keyboard Transcriptions https://www.amazon.com/dp/1495010260/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NYGUCb3J5DRDC

Both songs are there. I’ve discovered that Freddie really loved quarter notes and and writing songs in the key of E-flat major.

Also Love of My Life is fun to play.

You're dead right, I had mis-remembered that:

> Producer Mack told an amusing story about the vocal recording for "Under Pressure," where one > of the two singers would record their improvised vocals with the other being locked out so they > couldn't hear what the other was doing. > Said Mack: "Freddie is doing all his bits and pieces and I see out of the corner of my eye David > sticking his head in and listening. Then Fred came down and David went up, and Fred was quite > impressed how David was counterpointing to what he (Freddie) had done before. Fred said 'what > do you make of this?' and I said 'Well, it's kinda easy if you stand in the doorway and listen!'" > At which point Freddie apparently had some choice words for David!

“[Scott] Millaney and [David] Mallet were also responsible for the video for the more controversial track, ‘I Want to Break Free,’ in which all four band members appeared in drag. The video also incorporated a forty-five-second ballet sequence, in which Freddie danced with the Royal Ballet corps. ‘Freddie was beside himself with excitement about the video,’ remembers Millaney. ‘He was all ‘Well, darling, we’ve simply got to dress up in drag, and I have to shave off my moustache.’ David said, ‘NO! You have to keep it on, because that’s the point!’"
- Lesley-Ann Jones, <em>Mercury: An Intimate Biography of Freddie Mercury</em>

https://www.amazon.ca/Queen-Piano-Solo-Collection/dp/1540047148 has both. There are probably others, but that was the first hit and it had both songs. I just searched queen sheet music piano.

For Freddie Mercury, these books are from his inner circle.

Looks great! Best way to blend and get some more dimension and feature with the shadows is with cotton sticks. I personally like to use them, using fingers it might give it a kinda shiny and "greasy" look (if that makes sense). Cotton sticks gives a lot cleaner look and you can just erase the excess. For more detailed blending paper blenders are the best. You can find them in any store that sells art supplies. But in case here's a link on amazon if you don't know about them yet: https://www.amazon.de/Painting-Accessory-Sandpaper-Sharpener-Kneaded/dp/B06XMYTV94/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=L9BK5P6SLNPN&amp;keywords=papiermixer&amp;qid=1649429819&amp;sprefix=paper+blender%2Caps%2C108&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExMTFPTDBGWEdKMFhVJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTIyNDg3MVVCODRJNVRaSTFKUyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODE1ODM1MlpLSldUSFlPSFFCTyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

how many times do i have to say this

making money = good movie

also rami deserved the oscar.

But if you really think the movie deserved the other awards,take a look at this- http://www.openculture.com/2019/03/bohemian-rhapsodys-bad-editing-a-breakdown.html

I see some issues with this being a scam in the comments. I have done a quick search and found an amazon link of the same product. Is it the best option for this? I don’t know, but it’s more reliable that a potential scam.

What about a Funko pop? It should cost about 15€ Here's one Funko- Pop Rocks: Freddie Mercury King Other License Figura da Collezione, Multicolore, One Size, 50149 https://www.amazon.it/dp/B083MCJD4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_i_YJ66VXQN5KFRNWPG9JCN

I also need the other members still! I also have the... special Diamond edition coming next week: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KFP6F3Y/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o00\_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

I've read it somewhere a long time ago and looked it up as well. There seem to be some discussion about it on songfacts and Queenzone. Now I'm not so sure anymore. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=5132

Haha nope it’s not. That’s very cute!! You should get some Fred-tea to have in your mug. 😁💛 The TeaBook Fred Mercury - Organic Bohemian Raspberry - LGBQTEA Freddie Mercury (20) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F3HQQ6Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.C-WFb2PX1EJN?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1

The book "A Kind of Magic 'The Making of Highlander'" has a couple of chapters about this. It was written by a member of this subreddit and is fully recommended.

It was actually a gift but it looks like it’s available online.

Aliexpress

Amazon

Much appreciated! I actually went through an independent seller on Amazon. Risky but it worked out and the quality is pretty solid. Heavy jacket.

Here are some Amazon links if you are interested:

Audio Technica AT-LP60: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008872SIO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_w6.aEb4G493P6

Edifier R1280T Powered Speakers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016P9HJIA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_28.aEbVGB5AH6

With these two items, you do not need any sort of amplifier. You can plug the cable from the turntable directly into the speakers, and it will just work. This turntable is recommended as a great entry-level model with good sound. This setup will run you about $200.

Anyway, hope this helps, and I apologize for the formatting as I am on mobile.

here’s the rainbow pop. the 3 that exist are Wembley, Rainbow, and hot space, which is the FYE glitter pants exclusive. i don’t believe there are more

You should also consider getting some merch or clothing on Amazon! They also have posters.

Nevermind found it! Amazon UK. Doesn't show on the Yankee side yet https://www.amazon.co.uk/Freddie-Mercury-Life-His-Words-ebook/dp/B07X35NLG7/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1QEIKEQETWU8K&amp;keywords=freddie+mercury+in+his+own+words&amp;qid=1567202702&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix

I've seen a miniature version of the Red Special (Brian May's guitar) which is ~$30. I know that I'd absolutely love to get it and your friend would probably think the same :D

I can't view that video here at work, but I have the DVD that was officially released in 2014. The full concert was put on there with no songs missing. It may be some of this is from the Box of Tricks set from '92. I have an old bootleg that is also missing some of the songs as well.

I'd make sure to pick up the official release.. The sound quality is way better than it was on the bootlegs and the video quality was cleaned up as well.. Plus there is some bonus footage of the March '74 show, with a full audio of the March show as well on the double disc CD versions..
