Spotting the Influences
Was listening to 'Tear It Up' today and realised it sounds very much like Billy Squier's 'The Stroke'. I know the band were close friends of Squier's, How many other influences can you spot in their music?

Bohemian Rhapsody Amazing Fan mix
Hey man, I think it's alright! Different, daring and courageous. P.S. Forget the haters.

17 (Sheer Heart Attack): My Queen video for the Talenthouse competition
Not bad! Personally, it didn't quite capture the essence of the song. But I like your approach!

Hot Space Rock
Interesting! IMO, the 'dance' tracks on Hot Space sounded weak due to what I can only sum up as 'unenlightened production'. At that point in their career, neither Mack or Queen were awfully experienced with producing...

Those album tracks that segued into each other...
Hello Boys and Girls! I am very interested in tracking down "unblended" versions of all those early albums tracks that segued into each other, namely most of Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera, etc. A...

Brian's solo on Lady GaGa's 'You And I'
Anyone else notice it was too short and even low in the mix? The solo itself is classic Bri, but I thought GaGa would've at least cranked it louder considering it's, you know, Brian May!

Preview of the second five albums re-issued
OMG! The long-lost guitars on Don't Stop Me Now sound superb!! Can't believe they took them out in the first place!

Bicycle Race poster spotted in Miami Vice episode!
Was watching Miami Vice on DVD (pilot episode no less) and in the scene where they raid a drug dealer's apartment, you can spot on the wall, very clearly, the banned promo poster for the Jazz album, featuring all thos...

BIPOLAR MERCURY?
The subject of this thread makes me think of a headline the Sun might use. To my knowledge, Freddie was never diagnosed with bipolar.

...Open Window and A Kind Of Magic: Connected???
Yeah, my theory about Magic lyrics is that Roger was pissed that Freddie changed his One Vision lyrics that he went ahead and used them again. As it turned out, they seemed to perfectly match the "There can be only On...

Freddie at the end of live aid, never noticed before
Yeah, I also thought Freddie looked a bit nervous during that final lineup. Probably found himself out of his comfort zone with so many other stars and performers.

15 Greatest Unreleased Queen Songs
Why 15? Why not 14? Or 16? [img=/images/smiley/msn/tounge_smile.gif][/img]

...Open Window and A Kind Of Magic: Connected???
On the other hand, the bassline from Ice Ice Baby is NOTHING like the one from Under Pressure. The one from Under Pressure goes "bum bum bum ba-ba bum bum, bum bum bum ba-ba bum bum" but the one from Ice Ice Baby goes...

...Open Window and A Kind Of Magic: Connected???
AFAIK, other than their similar basslines, they're not connected. Windows was originally written by Fred for inclusion on a movie soundtrack they were working on at the time. The project got canned but the song still...

You know Too much love will kill you
Holly2003 wrote: It doesn't matter who sings it, it's one of Queen's cheesiest songs. Bloody awful. OK, so we're on a Queen forum, right? I mean, why would you ever connect those words together - 'Queen' and 'cheesey'...

Best Guitar Work by Brian May
Seems like we're flogging a dead horse here, no?

Best Guitar Work by Brian May
Couldn't agree more that Brian was a fairly ordinary 'live' guitarist. Actually, I would go as far and say he is overrated as a live musician. For the most part, he could never quite nail even his own solos. As for hi...
