ROGER TAYLOR:
“this flame that burns inside of me, I’m hearing secret harmonies”
“When you’re not accepting women, how can you love your fellow man”
“These days are all are gone now but one thing’s still true. When I look, and I find, I still love you”
“And half of the time we’d broaden our minds more in the pool hall than we did in the school hall”
ALSO ROGER TAYLOR:
“With my hand on your grease gun”
“I am a drummer in a rock and roll band” (repeat sentence forever)
“all we hear is radio ga ga, radio goo goo, radio ga ga”

April 1985
Freddie Mercury was starting to film his first solo video, "I Was Born To Love You"(single to be lifted from the "Mr. Bad Guy" album)
🔸 Mercury to the rescue.
About 2 minutes after this shot this poor girl wacked her head against the metal rostrum of the stage.
The video ground to a halt.
One very big bump appeared.
Off to hospital they went.
Fred was really upset and concerned for the dancer (sorry can't remember her name) and couldn't do enough her. 4 hours later the show went on.
Another very late video

🔸Arlene Philips, English choreographer, theatre director, talent scout and former dancer, interview Hello! Magazine, 2013
One of her favourite tales is how former Queen frontman Freddie came to the rescue of a dancer who injured herself on the set of his first solo video shoot ('I Was Born To Love You', taken 'Mr. Bad Guy' album).
"He rushed up and said, 'Darlings', darlings, don't worry, I'll take her to hospital and she'll be out in a flash," recalls Arlene, who found fame after she formed risqué dance group Hot Gossip in the 1970s. "He picked her up, like King Kong picking up Fay Wray, draped her over his shoulder and rushed off in his car."
She says Freddie was "absolutely amazing.
He was wild, exciting and thrilling to work with, as well as brave and fearless."
He also introduced Arlene to her partner, August Ion, a carpenter on the same video shoot
👉 The name of the dancer in the story is Els Deceukelier

the opening to I Want It All goes SO FUCKING HARD and you've never even heard it because no one ever plays the album versions

personally, I don’t think Roger Taylor gets enough credit for playing all the instruments on his solo songs
