Elaine Paige The Queen Album
I think Michael deliberately told the band (or at least Frederick) not to get involved.

I don't mind answering to 'asshat'. It's fun!

Frederick Mercury was Queen's lead singer, chief piano and synth player, most prolific composer, songwriter, arranger and producer, most frequent backing vocalist, and also the one who came up with the band's name and...

Remember when this thread was about a beautiful ballad penned by Brian and sung by Frederick?

Teo torriatte choir
There's another comment about it, from Brian's website, but I seem to have lost it and it's quite old so it's not there any longer. It must be from around 2003 - 2006. Anyway, as far as I remember (and I haven't got e...

Here's a scan from the magazine in case anyone thinks I just made that quote up.

Not quite the same case. The overwhelming majority of big choir effects were indeed achieved via overdubbing Roger, Brian and Frederick many times (though certainly not 180, by the way). Then there were very few excep...

Usual crowd, plus extras: studio staff, roadies, girlfriends, etc.

Songs that were harbingers for the next album
Yes, I mean, there's a bit of a grey area there, but as you said, 'Seven Seas of Rhye' had a lot of input from Brian, and 'Save Me' was also admittedly co-written between Brian and Frederick (Brian admitted so in a co...

Songs that were harbingers for the next album
One or two examples per album, or in general? I'll list one or two per album (not counting the OST), feel free to ignore everything from my third example onwards: Queen: 'My Fairy King', as you said; also 'Great King...

Guest vocalists/musicians
It was actually more than a few... As for your question, I think it would've been nice to have the duet with Roderick released.

Hot Space Released Date
That's interesting info, thanks. I suspect the album had been planned for much earlier (probably before the tour, as that'd make far more sense) but got delayed.

Fred Mandel instead of Spike Edney during '84-'86 gigs
Frederick (Mandel, not Mercury) recently said he respected Philip's work and claimed he was happy with how the latter played the parts he'd originally recorded.

Question about "Sail Away Sweet Sister"...
I would love 'White Queen'.

Accoustic on 'Jealousy'
On Saturday the doctor confirmed (again) that he'd used it on 'The Night Comes Down' as well as 'Jealousy'. I've always suspected the first solo on 'Sail Away Sweet Sister' to also have been recorded with the Hallfredh.

Don't Stop Me Now
So, to sum up: If Brian's claims match what you think he's thinking/feeling, then he's being truthful. If Brian's claims don't match your preconception or unsubstantiated internet rumours, then he's lying. Makes sense...
