  1. lip syncing?

    This video is quite clearly a syncing issue at source. It's fine for most of it, and quite clearly live, and then something happens with the encoding or whatever, and audio and video quite clearly go out of sync, to t...

  2. lip syncing?

    Wait. The people in here saying that they were lip syncing were or weren't joking? It's obviously a massive sync issue with the video... like, we all know that, right?

  3. Poll: Best studio version of Spread Your Wings?

    I've voted the BBC Sessions because I just love the energy of it. That said, the Live Killers version is superb. Couple of things - there's a lovely little bass flourish from JD around "since he was small, he had no l...

  4. Holy Man (Hawkins - May - Taylor - Wilson Version) release

    The BR+RT version has the original drums treated by Rog, they sound beefier, a little treatment to the cymbals here and there, and some subtle backing vocals from Rog (a lovely extended "holy maaaaaan" later on in the...

  5. What is your favourite Queen song outro?

    Bit left-field, but love the ending A Human Body - classic Roger song chord picking, his back and forth vocals etc. Just a nice, chill ending.

  6. Box sets vs Anthology

    I think I'd said it before in another thread - since Queen signed with Universal they've been functioning as a proper entity. What should have happened was, some time in the early 2000s when they were doing stuff with...

  7. Bohemian Rhapsody biopic setlist

    Seems like they edited the teaser and put a new one up minus all the errors spotted! Or am I going mad, and they've released two teasers and I can no longer find the original one I saw?

  8. Michael Jackson hanging on to Freddie's nuts!

    As Matt Z said, bringing a little bit of factual deeper knowledge to this conversation, Michael's ability to dictate/compose simply with his words and voice was unreal. To the point where, as Matt Z also said, it's a...

  9. Things in songs you recently discovered

    In No-One But You, in the final chorus (around 3m 40s), at the final "they're only flying too close to the sun", there's a lovely high harmony from Roger (and poss Bri) on "too close to the sun". I got obsessed with i...

  10. Queen ON Air

    Barely ever post around here anymore, but... Happened to notice today that there's a slight difference in Fred's vocals in SWAFIB when compared to the 2011 version on Queen II. It concerns the start of the first verse...

  11. Found this

    Just throwing it out there - I've just done a quick bit of back and forth between MJ's vocals in this new version (particularly "c'est la vie" and the lead-up to it) and the piano version... I wonder if these are the...

  12. Is Brian pretending Queen + PR never happened?

    Brian constantly has items relating to QPR on his 'On this day in Queen history thing', so I would say it's safe to assume from this that, when he references 'Queen' in these interviews about having played places, he...

  13. Zeppelin vs Queen reissues

    It's nice to find a topic to feel compelled to reply in! (long post, hope it makes sense, I read back and sense-checked!) Something Wizard said that got me thinking, re: Zep never having had to navigate the 80s as Que...

  14. The llama's turned into a chimp

    "And the jokes seen in this thread and elsewhere are precisely why he's dead. We, the public, and our desire to eat celebrities alive, are ultimately what killed him." Thank you. I tried to write this sentiment earlie...

  15. The llama's turned into a chimp

    There's a theme with all the allegations though - they're all from people who want something, no-mark "celebs" or greedy parents. Like someone said on the previous page, what's never spoken about (and pretty much outr...

  16. The llama's turned into a chimp

    Would you not say that sheds a little bit of light on this scenario... a naive, rich, famous, lonely guy who had an upbringing that conditioned him a certain way, being taken advantage of...? Drop any petty hatred or...

  17. The llama's turned into a chimp

    Thing is, as stupid as semantics are in this sort of scenario, he wasn't necessarily in the bed with them. Whilst it is odd to have children round for a sleepover as a grown man - no matter your upbringing or conditio...

  18. The llama's turned into a chimp

    There you have it - proof! If only they'd used this in court... One thing people who are so determined to bash Michael Jackson fail to note... Given Michael Jackson was, lets face it, the most famous and known person...

  19. The Deacon/Mercury Funk Dance Thing Revisited?

    But there's a difference between introducing new sounds and writing "rubbish" songs! Just because he introduced a synth and synth drums, doesn't mean they couldn't have still produced "better" songs (i.e. The Game). I...

  20. March of the Black Queen - lyrics.

    But the words are the other way round in the lyric... I can only assume he means "brown sugar", perhaps? Anyway, regardless, Freddie is clearly a massive racist. Boom.
