Brian: Thank You! We’re Trying Some New Things Here I Hope You Like Them. This Is Something A Little

Ok in an interview (maybe from 2011?) Brian was asked this; forgive the quality from his old, crusty website:

[in case you can’t see:

Question: What does QUEEN mean to you?

Brian: A White Queen and a Black Queen. Pleasure and Pride. Stress and Pain. A sword in my hand and a chain around my neck.]

There are a few things to unpack but...the two colored queens were always his thing with Freddie. Brian wore white nail polish, wrote “White Queen”, and often wore his white Zandra Rhodes outfit on stage, while Freddie wore black nail polish, wrote “March of the Black Queen”, and more often wore black outfits on stage. Fans used to paint their nails a certain color to support Freddie or Brian, so this color motif was only their thing.

Here’s what strikes me. First, Brian’s response to what Queen means to him is essentially “me and Freddie.” Second, this stopped being a real thing on stage by the mid-to-late 70s and I’d guess most casual fans don’t even know about this dynamic, especially nowadays, but it was the first thing to pop into Brian’s head. This dynamic meant so much to him. I am Emotional

Uhm...

Do they know something we don't???
