  1. Life is Real

    I'm not a fan of the album version of this song, but what do you think of the live 03/11/1982 (Chicago) rendition? After Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy, this (particular version of the) song is the second most-played Qu...

  2. the most beautiful queen song

    Don't Stop Me Now -- Beautiful because it is so free and inspiring, uplifting...and the outro is wonderful, something wistful about it... These are the Days of Our Lives -- At first glance, clichéd musically and lyric...

  3. Queen vs. Beatles

    Mine too. I have a *very* vague memory of seeing the video on T.V when I was really young kid (about 4?)...at any rate, it's the only music video I can remember from those days. A good fear years after that, it was al...

  4. Queen vs. Beatles

    * few not fear

  5. Queen vs. Beatles

    @Sebastian. Slightly off-topic, though just to touch on your point about Ga Ga/IWTBF being over-rated. I concede, there are well-known Queen songs that may be overrated. IWTBF is very catchy; memorable; a wonderful De...

  6. Queen vs. Beatles

    Wow, thanks for all the replies. In particular I enjoyed Sebastian's replies! Most conclusive! This topic has turned into a direct comparison of Queen and the Beatles. Just to clarify, though, my original post did not...

  7. Queen vs. Beatles

    Of course not. Though certain aspects, as I said, could be compared with a somewhat-objective approach. E.g. Brian May's ability on the guitar. Freddie Mercury's vocal range, vocal control. And then other aspects whic...

  8. Queen vs. Beatles

    Thanks for the replies. (As a reminder: yes, I know this is a frivolous comparison). (As Zebonka said): the sum of individual talents in Queen far eclipses that of the Beatles. Sure, the Beatles' members were good at...

  9. Queen vs. Beatles

    An aimless/frivolous comparison. Nevertheless. I've been a huge Queen fan for as long as I can remember. I certainly do, though, recognise the matchless genius of the Beatles. So this is something about which my frien...

  10. Paul Weller Slags Off Freddie Mercury (Among Others)

    Paul Weller is known almost exclusively in UK, and yet he hasn't ever had a #1 single in the UK...ok, two #1 albums, but then again... Bob Geldof's group (Boomtown Rats) had two UK #1's, suffice to say that the likes...

  11. Freddie VS Elton Piano Playing

    I'm always biased as are many Queen fans. But trying to be objective, yes Elton's technical skills are superior. I remember reading (or hearing?) some Elton quote to the effect of: that rotter Freddie has the most ama...

  12. Queen at the Ballet

    I'm not sure if it will. I have a few contacts who are involved directly or indirectly with the production of the Queen at the Ballet, I might be able to find out for you. So unfortunately I can't say what the odds of...

  13. RATE PAUL RODGERS OUT OF 10

    Own stuff a 9. Tip-top vocals. Queen stuff...because I feel as many people do that he ruined it, and of course that his voice cannot compare to Freddie's (and nobody in rock, can really...you'd need an opera singer pe...

  14. Best guitar solo

    The acoustic guitar on Brian's album version of TMLWKY is really nice. The solo I mean.

  15. Freddie or Fred Mandel on Living on my own?

    I agree with Sebastian who says that Spike wasn't a firt-class pianist, as was Mandel. In fact I've been confusing my pianists, lol sorry, it's Morgan Fisher who I do not like! I've been re-listening to some Mandel st...

  16. Queen at the Ballet

    Yes, I saw it at the Artscape Theatre in Cape Town. Currently it is showing at the Spier Theatre in Stellenbosch. Are you from Cape Town by any chance? Haven't really seen many South Africans around here. As for the p...

  17. Best Singer

    Well a bit of a silly question it may appear, though I think there's a fair contest between Rog and Brian for "second place". Many people I've heard saying that they prefer Brian's "Paul McCartney-like" voice...it sou...

  18. Best guitar solo

    YDFM is a great solo. Invisible Man -- sounds impressive, though of course when comparing that style of playing to the likes of Ed van Halen it isn't special. Brighton Rock -- I love as a song, but the guitar solo aga...

  19. Green Day playing We Are The Champions

    WHOAH...hold on hold on...Green Day played the Red Special??

  20. God Save the Queen

    Sorry for asking a question that departs slightly from the topic at hand (it is however one I've asked before and one to which I've never received an answer, so I thought this was an appropriate topic in which to ask...
