Ultimate Rock God
Jan 10^th, 2009 at 12:43am

Rock god Freddie crowned ultimate rock god
belfasttelegraph.co.uk
Saturday, 10 January 2009

Queen legend Freddie Mercury has been voted the Ultimate Rock God.

Flamboyant front man Mercury, who sold 300 million records before he died in November 1991 of bronchopneumonia induced by HIV, beat Elvis Presley into second place.

The tragic star formed Queen in 1970 with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor who were later joined by bass player John Deacon.

During his 21 years with the band Mercury, who was born Farrokh Bulsara in Zanzibar in 1946, was renowned for his charismatic stage presence.

American rock icon Jon Bon Jovi came third in the survey of 4,000 rock fans by internet market research website www.onepoll.com.

A spokesman for www.onepoll.com said: “Everybody loved Freddie Mercury, his theatrical performances on-stage were incredible and set him apart from other rock stars.

“He combined his ear for music with an ability to deliver to stadium audiences across the world, and as such millions of fans were devastated when HIV finally killed him in 1991.”

Elvis is one of the biggest selling artists of all time.

Famed for hits such as Jailhouse Rock and Suspicious Minds he also filmed 31 musical films including Love Me Tender.

Bon Jovi, front man of Bon Jovi, has enjoyed record sales worldwide for over 25 years.

In the 80s the band produced the albums Slippery When Wet (1986) which sold 29 million copies, and New Jersey (1988) which has shipped 18 million

Nolte - The Rocks Off patron saint

this, i believe, happens before he makes most of his posts.

"Why would any sane person want to leave Rocks Off? If you have an issue outside of Rocks Off, handle it. When you return it will be as if you never have left. Once you are here-it's expected you stay. Why waste long cultivated posting skills somewhere else? The outside world will not understand." -Nellie

The folks that voted for Bon Jovi as a rock god..I suspect will be target marketed by the guys that sell pigs in pokes.

I do what I do in order to survive,
which is why I'm still alive,
so I must be doing something right.

By "rock gods," they apparently meant "rock performers named after gods." Since Freddy is named after the Roman messenger god Mercury, he won.
