Born to be Kings

My ignorance of the magic that is Queen is perhaps one of the most criminal things that I am only now rectifying. Listening to them now, it amazes me how I managed to spend most of my life missing out, so for the benefit of those equally as unfortunate, here's a taster.


Watchmojo.com presents The History of Queen and Freddie Mercury.




One of their best music videos, from the early days of MTV.




Wayne and friends singing Bohemian Rhapsody - from the movie Wayne's World.




The Muppets(!) do their own version as well.




At Live Aid, 1985. Queen's performance on that day has since been voted by more than 60 artists, journalists and music industry executives as the greatest live performance in the history of rock music.








Queen, Elton John and Axl Rose performing Bohemian Rhapsody at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert, 1992.




Google's Freddie Mercury 20th Anniversary tribute, 2011.




And finally, here's some random dude sounding exactly like Freddie.




Go buy their albums. Freddie commands you!
