I just feel like they are going after Freddie too much not to suspect something.
Bohemian Rhapsody, which Brian and Roger approved of, paints Freddie as the bad guy for making a solo album, despite the fact that in reality, Brian and Roger had both released solo albums before Freddie made Mr. Bad Guy. This seemed like a strange point for them to approve. The movie also painted Freddie Mercury as being wholly responsible for the Hot Space album and the controversial change in style, even though, well, Brian, John, and Roger had all written songs for the album as well. And when you look behind the scenes, the other members apparently spent years trying to make a Queen movie where Freddie dies halfway through and the story is about them bravely continuing on as the heroes.
But what really tipped me off is this recent article I saw where it was mentioned that apparently, Brian praised the new singer Adam Lambert and said that “Adam can do all the stuff that Freddie did–and more,” which is… basically implying that he thinks Adam is better than Freddie.
I will admit, Freddie was more of a loose cannon when it came to his consistency, having some legendary moments but also having some not-so-great moments. And while Adam is more constantly good, he is nowhere near as good as Freddie was at his peaks. But moreover, it is not the duty of Brian, as the guitarist and de facto band leader, to say, “No this new guy is totally better than our deceased friend.”
The members of Maiden don’t disparage Paul or Blaze, even though Paul’s career basically died the moment he left the band. The Crüe don’t crap on Corabi. AC/DC still honor Bon and are on mostly good terms with their former drummers (although I suspect they’ve likely disavowed Rudd after his attempted hit).
