  1. Rolling Stone about INNUENDO: "masterpiece"

    "Deeper album cuts like "The Hitman" and "I Can't Live With You" saw the band placing more emphasis on heavy guitars than arguably anything they had done since 1974's Sheer Heart Attack." What a ridiculous comment! Bl...

  2. Under Pressure, Feel Like and David Bowie

    So is Brian's original riff in the song do you reckon? I think John wrote the famous riff the majority of sources say he did. I also wish Queen had a bigger say in the production and mix as it really doesn't sound lik...

  3. new ANATO studio stuff

    Bugger! I didn't get to hear it. Can anyone PM me too?

  4. "The Miracle" Korg M1

    That's why I have never been able to really get into Innuendo. They really should have gone back to their 70's approach. Instead it is a mashup of 80's synth and drums, with a few epic songs, plus the filler that is p...

  5. "The Miracle" Korg M1

    Oscar J wrote: Never understood why they couldn't be bothered to record real percussion for TATDOOL. Innuendo is a good album, but the laziness from their earlier 80's albums is still very much present. Replied to the...

  6. Bread and butter tone

    Hi all, Recently got the Brian May Red Special. Am absolutely loving it. Just a quick question regarding tones. I know the humbucker tone is his usual combo as well as the neck and middle (out of phase) for screaming...

  7. Why did Thank God It's Christmas bomb?

    Its crap? Doesn't sound like queen. Horrible synth sound. Compared to last Christmas its a bad Christmas song.

  8. A night at the Odeon Bass

    Yeah, one of the entire set list. The majority of the concert they have him buried in the mix.

  9. A night at the Odeon Bass

    Hi all, As a massive fan of John Deacon and a bass player myself, the volume of John's bass in the mix is criminal. What were they thinking? It can hardly be heard except for being boomy at certain points. His melodic...

  10. Playing across the chord vs. playing scales

    Thanks very much for your detailed answer.

  11. Playing across the chord vs. playing scales

    Hi, Was watching that old guitar tutorial Brian presented and he said it is rare for him to play scales and prefers to play across a chord. What does he mean by this? For example is a chord progression is C F G, does...

  12. John Deacon bass picker 1984-

    I think its mainly because he got lazy. Like others have mentioned about Roger's playing in the 80's becoming lazy, so did John's. In the early days he played all the fills and high notes from the albums and embellish...

  13. Wembley editing sucked

    However, it is much better than new concert releases. I can't believe how fast the editing is on new releases.

  14. Contributions by other members to songs with single writing credits.

    I think Brian mentions this in the 'Day of our lives' doco. He says that the person who brought the general idea, chord progression, page of lyrics, melody etc was given the song writing credit and then the band usual...

  15. Harmonies on 39'

    Thanks for the replies. I can't find c_matt's stripped version. I haven't found one at all that includes the harmony vocals. Someone have a link?

  16. Harmonies on 39'

    Hi all, I have read a few things saying that the harmonies during the chorus are some of the most intricate queen did. I am no expert and to me I can't hear anything that special. Can someone explain what is so good a...

  17. Did Brian`s guitar play rescued "It`s a Hard Life " ?

    Brian rescued YMBF...what a joke. One of Queen's most beautifully produced songs, absolutely love it.

  18. Your favourite Taylor licks

    The rolling toms during the solo to Flick of the wrist have always amazed me; especially during the end.

  19. Freddies pianno similarities?

    Which are those songs? I'm actually interested.

  20. If you could hear one isolated bass guitar part...

    One of the earlier ones that has quite a muddy mix and you miss a lot of the individual notes. Father to son or MOTBQ would be amazing.
