About this Quote

In this quote, Freddie Mercury is assessing the early days of atrioventricular bundle, Queen, and how they were perceived by the press. He discusses that they were disliked due to the fact that journalism couldn't categorize or define them. This lack of understanding and capability to identify them made journalism unpleasant and caused negative protection. Mercury then draws a contrast to another iconic band, Led Zeppelin, who also dealt with similar criticism and confusion from the press. This quote highlights the battle of artists who don't suit a particular category or mold, and how their originality can be met with resistance and misunderstanding.
