This is a jumbled message, but on the topic of fandom weirdness: what is up with Hot Space? It’s seen as John & Freddie being the ‘good’ disco lovers and Brian & Roger being the ‘bad’ Rock ‘N’ Roll diehards, which is such an oversimplification. John wrote AOBTD, but this album was hardly his passion project. He doesn’t feature heavily in the credits and actually disliked the finished product, favoring The Game. Brian’s Dancer is arguably the best of Queen’s disco-inspired songs, bar AOBTD. 1/3
It was only Freddie who didn’t outright criticize the album when it flopped. He didn’t have John backing him up there. Hot Space not doing well could be seen as the fans rejecting Freddie’s attempts at gay club music— and by extension, that newly-revealed, unrelatable side of him. Roger has said, as diplomatically as possible, that they didn’t want the album to sound like gay club music. How did John, of all people, express that? We don’t actually know. 2/3
It’s wrong for people use this false narrative to insinuate that John was the most accepting of Freddie’s gayness, and that Roger and Brian were somehow homophobic. All evidence points in the exact opposite direction. In truth, Brian did the most to make sure Freddie felt his sexuality meshed with their music. Then there’s the entire Myth of Back Chat... 🙄 The album itself isn’t even particularly good. It was created during a frictious time for the band and that shows in nearly every track. 3/3
Yeah, I agree. The Hot Space era was tumultous and it shows. To be fair, though, Roger expressed the 'gay club' thing as his own personal opinion ("[Prenter] wanted our music to sound like you'd just walked into a gay club, and I didn't!") He didn't include Brian and John in it, so we don't know if they felt the same way. I don't think Brian did since most of his negative feelings about the album seem to be more related to his bad times in Munich than the music itself. Don't even get me started on the 'Back Chat' myth....
And yep, you're right about 'Dancer' being the best disco/funk-inspired song apart from AOBTD.
