I think we look more stupid in this video than any other artist has ever looked in a video […]  I actually really love the record, but I do really hate this video. - Roger’s commentary on the It’s a Hard Life music video

Ngl, even though I say it every time, I cannot for the LIFE of me hear Roger say “Brian May” at the end of Drowse

when I first watched this video, I didn’t realize that Roger was clarifying the fans weren’t human fans and spent a solid ten seconds trying to figure out what special kind of fan Air Fans were

Before remembering that inanimate fans with blades that move air exist

Memories of me and Freddie as children in Zanzibar are quite vague because I was very young and he was at college in India. He only came home once a year, so there was very little time together but I remember how generous he was, because every time he came home he never forgot to bring a little something to my mother and me.

When we moved to London, our relationship became stronger. We helped each other: he helped me with my school homework and I modeled the clothes he created. Once he became famous he continued to take care of us.

He often repeated that God had given him riches and he wanted to share them with the people he loved.

He had become a world-famous star, but his fame had not changed him, neither as a son nor as a brother.

I feel like Freddie is here in some ways because his music is still here. He was my brother, but a megastar too. Simply speaking, I don’t know what it was like to have an ordinary brother because my own brother was so extraordinary.’

Every morning when I wake up, there's a Queen song on the radio and people ask me if it makes me sad. My answer is No!

How can I remain sad if my brother wakes me up singing!

”First of all, Brian Roger and myself would like to thank all the artists who are performing here today in London, and they are giving their time and energy to make this tribute to Freddie a reality to happen today.

First of all, the show must go on and we’ll start with an American band three times Grammy Award winners, please welcome Metallica!

Roger is so funny during this commentary

I was today years old when I learned that on TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS David Bowie had a heart attack on stage, didn’t realize and KEPT GOING

[not-the-coffee-machine4]

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