Songs That Didn't Work Out Live
I'm talking about the backing vocals, and I think the person most responsible for this is Brian May. I say this as a major Brian May fan. In the studio, the man is one of the most creative guitarists ever - guitar har...

What do you think about Queen?
I think Queen were a fantastic live act but, as I mentioned elsewhere, I always felt their vocals were lacking, in a major way, in concert. Freddie used his lower register when songs often called for his higher regist...

Songs That Didn't Work Out Live
Gotta agree with Action This Day - or any song from Hot Space, for that matter. IMHO, the worst Queen song performed live would be any song requiring the vocals to really shine - like Somebody to Love, The Prophet's S...

Your Opinion: Weakest Song(s) in Queen's Catalog
Good point, Jimmy Dean. John and Roger do play quite well on Under Pressure. They essentially save the song. I don't think it's near their best performance, however. Check out Millionaire Waltz or Dragon Attack (John)...

Your Opinion: Weakest Song(s) in Queen's Catalog
Oh, man, I am really enjoying some of these replies. I forgot about many of these songs - especially Delilah. That one is truly retched. And the intro to Play the Game is, indeed, headache-inducing. Good song, aweful...

Your Opinion: Weakest Song(s) in Queen's Catalog
OK, I'm going to pick up from the post about the "Jazz" album. I'm curious what everyone thinks. What do you think is the worst song (or songs) in Queen's catalog? Just for fun: Let's pick up to three. Here are mine:...

Anyone in Queen liked Jazz?
I have to agree with the previous poster, who indicated that Queen and Roy Thomas Baker should have ordered the songs on Jazz better. Actually, up until now, I hadn't thought of that. There has always been something t...

Bewildering Account on Freddie Mercury
Come on, folks. Don't make excuses. IF it actually happened, it was a nasty thing to do. And from some of the stories I've heard about Brian May, he can be a jerk, as well, although not to that extent. Queen are/were...
