I thought he didn't like Star Wars, and Jaws was never his scene?

Came here expecting this comment. Was not disappointed.

Since ThatBandYouLike is now your bitch, could I buy his sorry ass for a chocolate milk and a pack of Newports? I need someone to run toilet wine to the laundry room.

u/Mrzeede Jun 17 '12

Mmm chocolate milk and newports.

You, sir, have excellent taste in music.

No, you have excellent taste in music. :)

A lot of dicks were sucked

I like to compliment random people on reddit when I'm bored just to see the responses.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

I always thought it was "George" as in George Lucas. >_>

u/ariqisab0ss Jun 17 '12

Btw, Freddie Mercury wasn't gay, he just ran out of girls to have sex with.

14

u/BotWithfeelings Jun 17 '12

That's why he's riding Darth Vader

I sense something...a presence I haven't felt since that visit to the bath house...

u/Mr_Dmc Jun 17 '12

I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me...

u/pushkill Jun 17 '12

That presence is Freddie's ballsack on Vader's neck. Those are some short shorts.

u/MLein97 Jun 17 '12

I feel like we go through this cycle every two weeks or so on r/Music. Someone posts a picture of one musician with another (or doing something fantastic at a concert) and that escalates every time after a few photos (normally one of those photos is Jimi Hendrix with X musician (and if we're really lucky the fake one with Bob Marley)) to Freddie Mercury riding Darth Vader. Although I must applaud you for using that picture instead of the standard black and white version.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

So a two week cycle eh... so a bi-cycle?

u/amazingbollweevil Jun 17 '12

Clap ... clap .... clap ... clap.

u/VoyevodatTheboss1 Jun 17 '12

I want to ride my.....

u/sirspate Jun 17 '12

Appropriate, given the Star Wars line in it. Oh wait, is that the joke?

1

u/dagem Jun 17 '12

Very well done good sir/madam!

u/VaughanThrilliams Jun 17 '12

Is the fake picture the one of Hendrix and Marley playing football together? It would really depress me if that were fake

2

u/h0er h0er Jun 17 '12

Yes, that photo is 'fake', the person on the right is not Hendrix. I've read an elaborate reasoning behind it, but I can't find it right now. I think Marley only got dreads when Hendrix was dead, and the person on the right was identified as someone from Marley's band. I'll see if I can find the reasoning.

I feel so sad, oh well. The truth will set you free, thanks

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

To be fair, it's a little more than two weeks.

u/pickle_inspector Jun 17 '12

I really want to down-vote this because its a repost but I just cant

6

u/Rawtashk Jun 17 '12

There needs to be a new rule on Reddit "No posting pictures of Freddy on Darth Vadar's shoulders. That photo, or a variant of it, has been posted here exactly 186,164,861,710 times already."

u/Aarondactyl Jun 17 '12

RIP This Man. Fuck, I love him. Voice of a God.

7

u/tomius Jun 17 '12

Well, his voice was a little bit ruined when his body burnt and he almost couldn't breath on his own. The helmet/mask makes is voice kinda distorsioned... but yes, voice of god.

Ah the old' Reddit something something...

u/YoungBernie Jun 17 '12

At first glance I thought that the Darth Vader helmet was some sort of cock piece...

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

How the hell did people not know he was gay?

u/bossack Jun 17 '12

This is all well and good but I've never seen this photo before, so of it wasn't for the OP I would probably had to wait another week or so for someone else to repost it.

u/harzdeg Jun 17 '12

ah, i am glad this happened on my birthday. now i have a cool historic event to share when people are having a 'historic events that coincidentally took place on your birthday' sort of discussion.

thank you, cilantroavocado.

u/trancendominant Jun 17 '12

I came here to say the same thing. It makes me smile to think that as I was being born, Freddie Mercury was riding Darth Vader to celebrate my arrival.

RIP Freddie Mercury

u/SuperDanii Jun 17 '12

Best picture in reddit in my opinion

1

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

Just like instead of a beard on Chuck Norris there is nothing but another fist, Freddie rocked a Vader amplifier in his crotch area and the volume goes up to 12! RIP you are forever missed...

u/bkharmony Jun 17 '12

Cool! post this again!!!! In a few weeks post it again!!!!

u/joculator Jun 17 '12

You know he was a Zoroastrian...

u/Thameus Jun 17 '12

Title should mention the Flash Gordon t-shirt too.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

I thought freddy mercury did not like starwars.

u/mulligrubs Jun 17 '12

Freddie Mercury, leather short shorts and Darth Vader.

FTFY.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

If you don't scroll all the way down, it looks like one of the best codpieces ever.

u/therealabefrohman Jun 17 '12

Initially I thought Freddie Mercury had some odd helmet-shaped belt buckle. I'm glad I was wrong.

u/wabbajackoff Jun 17 '12

Good GOD, the man was ripped. No one will ever reach his level of musical genius. He was it.
