Freddy was the man. I saw Queen in concert 3 times at the Montreal forum as a kid, and one of them was when they shot the movie "Queen Rocks Montreal". The original version was pretty bad but they have a new restored and recut version which is excellent.
I am looking forward to seeing
Sacha Baron Cohen as Freddy Mercury. I think he will do a good job.
If Queen ever toured again, I think George Michael would make the perfect replacement. Sex antics aside, that guy can really fucking sing. I heard George Michael do a Queen song a long time ago and was blown away.
