Freddie Mercury, to me, was probably the most important frontman to me growing up.

You can't beat Freddie Mercury. He was a mad man in the best sense possible.

I'm a huge Freddie Mercury fan. I think he was the end-all. I love his lack of inhibition, his talent, the chances he took. He made mistakes on his records, and he didn't care.

I'd never compare myself to Freddie Mercury because I look up to him far too much. As an artist, not necessarily as a person.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

I know I'm not Freddie Mercury or Ann Wilson, and that's okay. You don't have to be a great singer to sing rock and roll. That's not what it's about.

My lifetime role model and hero is Freddie Mercury of Queen.

I don't want to be nasty but let's just say Robbie Williams is no Freddie Mercury.

I loved Hendrix. I mean, really, really loved him. As if he were one of the great classical composers. And he was. That's how I saw him.

I thought Jimi Hendrix... was just phenomenal.
