Description This is my tribute to the late, great Freddie Mercury: a caricature of the lead singer of another favorite: Queen!

Still popular as of today, Queen's diverse music gave us everything from sports anthems (e.g. We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions) to songs easily recognizable in pop culture (e.g. Bohemian Rhapsody). Queen consisted of not only diverse vocalist Mercury, but kick-butt guitarist Brian May, as well as the also-hot rhythm section that consisted of John Deacon & Roger Taylor, that gave us pomp, flamboyant, often humorous, & awesome music that still rocks, even today.

Queen, Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, Roger Taylor (c) themselves

Thanks. I wanted to do something that properly exaggerated Freddie's features. This was when I was experimenting with caricatures some.

For some reason he looks like the Mr Director (who is modled after Jerry Lewis) from the Animaniacs episode "Hello Nice Warners!"

I haven't seen that one, despite the fact that I have seen a lot of Animaniacs cartoons.

Thanks!

Is Montreux in England?

Actually Switzerland. Montreux is the town where Queen recorded their last album Made In Heaven.

Ah, very fitting that the statue would be placed where their last TRUE album was recorded.

(As you can tell, I'm not really up for the Queen+Paul Rodgers ordeal. Paul Rodgers sounds NOTHING like Freddie Mercury. Dennis DeYoung sounds more like Freddie Mercury than Rodgers does. And John Deacon's not even with them. What's up with that?)

I'm not up for the Paul Rodgers side either. I prefer the band as it was originally formed. I have a photo of the statue: [link]

Good. I haven't listened to any of the Queen+Paul Rodgers songs, but I don't really want to, because, without Freddie Mercury OR John Deacon, it just isn't Queen...

Cool! I can see that they used that statue for the cover of Made In Heaven.
