And the line mama I killed a man was changed from I kissed a man.

(1,962 posts)That reminds me of the video for "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," with those gorgeous skinny women in hot pants...I was so jealous!
How about those riffs, tho!

(20,367 posts)I always like this one. Even though Freddie was the masterful front man, they were all at the top of their game. Roger Taylor's drumsticks are a blur!

(10,662 posts)I didnt really appreciate Queen back then, just focused on their hard rock. And Skynyrd before the plane crash. I think that was my first outdoor concert.

(18,184 posts)Can't resist this. I'm a bit older than Wayne and Garth but I could certainly relate. Jamming with the buds in the beater. That's me before the big hair cut and 4 years in the Navy. Back when I actually had hair.
