Shortly before his death, Freddie Mercury explained that the variety of having multiple songwriters is what made QUEEN's albums so interesting. "I think this is one of the few groups that all four members write," he said. "In a funny way, when we do a QUEEN album, they're like four solo projects within themselves anyway; 'cause, I mean, I have my bunch of songs, Brian has his, Roger, and John. . . And so, it's like four little solo projects working side by side and them we put them all together. So, I think that is the reason that we didn't go and do solo projects earlier on. If we were writing all the same kind of songs, then we would've gotten fed up and said, 'Oh, I want to do my solo album first.' But we all are writing different songs, so it keeps us interested."

The Pulse Of Radio asked Brian May what he thinks QUEEN's legions of fans feel about his and Roger Taylor's efforts to keep the band's legacy alive. "They probably see some genuine effort on our part and some probably [laughs] some genuine inspiration. Whatever else you might say about QUEEN, we were just totally dedicated to our audience."
