 "King Mercury, long may he reign" September 20, 2008
take403
It's hard to do justice to one of the most popular bands of the 1970's in only 2 hours but they've done a wonderful job producing and editing the history of Queen. It features interviews with Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and even Freddie Mercury. The documentary is divided into different segments, including Queen's years before they formed. Smile was a band Brian and Roger were in with Tim Staffel (where the song "Doing Alright" was written) and Freddie had released a few singles under the psuedonymn Larry Lurex. There's a special (and hilarious) section for the classic "Bohemian Rhapsody." Mike Myers gives a special "Thank you" for their blessings with the Wayne's World movie. The band discusses their video history (they had been making them regularly before the advent of MTV; the videos for "The Miracle" and "Innuendo" are discussed and Roger's comment about "These Are the Days of Our Lives" is quite poignant), their albums (Brian mentions that he wishes they had added all gotten credit on all songs prior to the Miracle), singles (Roger discusses "Breakthrough"), tours (touring Tokyo, Rio, Budapest and their legendary performance at Live Aid) and movies (Queen's music was featured in Flash Gordon, Highlander and Iron Eagle). You get insights into the individual members of the band (Brian appears to be introspective and honest, Roger appears to be jovial and cheerful, John appears even-handed and reserved, he bashfully admits he wishes he could sing and Freddie appeared charming and flamboyant, he knew how to handle obnoxious interviewers). Other rock stars share their feelings about Queen (John Entwistle, Axl Rose, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney and Keith Richards). Finally, there's mention of the Concert for Life the year after Freddie's passing away and Made In Heaven. This is only available on VHS. Hopefully, a version of this on DVD is soon in the works.
The Best Documentary Yet June 10, 2006
Alex (Taylor, MI)
When won't they release this damn thing on DVD? VHS is so outdated and it sucks. This really is Queen's best doc right now. The clips are really great and the interviews are really good. They start right from the beginning of Queen and go on until Freddie's death. Buy this, you won't be sorry.

Love the interviews January 21, 2003

I have all the cds so I know the music. Saw the band perform live more than once, so I know the stage show. This gives us something more. This video has great interviews and behind-the-scenes footage from all four band members and many other people who were affected by their music in any way. And that's why any true fan would be well advised to own this video. Excellent!
TITANS OF ROCK ! August 6, 2002
David R. Lorenz (Auburn, WA United States)
Queen was a rock band that grew, matured, and changed with the times, from the early 1970's thru Freddie Mercury's final recorded vocals (Made In Heaven) in the 1990's.
The video showcases the various styles and sounds in the 20+ years that Queen recorded and performed as a band. It covers the many t.v. interviews and performances, music videos, and concert tours.
Plus, an intimate tribute to Freddie Mercury, who passed away in November, 1991, from the members of Queen, and many others who were in their own way touched or inspired by Freddie and Queen.
