  1. songwriting process in the 80s

    "Once all the main singing had been set down, Brian would work out the harmonies and they would be added." is Phoebe's exact quote from the blog, Seems to imply only Brian working out the harmonies, and based on the w...

  2. songwriting process in the 80s

    http://www.freddiemercury.com/askphoebe/index.php/40/ it's from a blog by freddie's personal assistant and talks about fred's songwriting process. I found it interesting that Brian was responsible for the harmonies al...

  3. Why did Freddie give up the piano?

    It seemed fred got bored of the piano or something in the 80s, he didnt really play all that much on the albums either in the 80s. I always wonder what the Innuendo album (and title song too) would have sounded like w...

  4. Bechstain Debauchery still up?

    Sebastian, im curious about what details musically made you change your mind about the hitman.

  5. Bechstain Debauchery still up?

    Ok fair enough, I hope you are able to get it up sooner rather later. As a Queen fan, I also want to thank you for taking to time to have compiled all that information and making the website (must have been a real tim...

  6. Bechstain Debauchery still up?

    aww damn thats a shame it was a neat site. Well if you see this sebastian you got any plans put it back up?

  7. Bechstain Debauchery still up?

    At least, I think that's what it was called? I was wondering if the site is still up by chance. It had quotes from the band members about the individual songs on the albums, and also some cool musical analysis on some...

  8. Seven Seas of Rhye songwriting

    it just seemed a little weird to me that brian didnt bring this up till recently. I actually think he's generally very fair with regards to songwriting credits, but so was the rest of the band, and i wonder why brian'...

  9. Seven Seas of Rhye songwriting

    yeah it may have been the documentary i heard it in come to think of it. Anyway it seemed a bit weird that he only mentioned that mostly recently, as far as I'm aware of. The band did talk about ssor quite a bit as we...

  10. Seven Seas of Rhye songwriting

    Hi, I read on brian's soapbox a while back, that he said he had written the bridge I believe, of ssor. I just listened to the song , didnt notice any real trademarks of any of them* in the chords (they seemed like mos...

  11. Rick Wright and Freddie Mercury as keyboardists

    also, I will add for any PF fans here I think it's a shame that Rick didn't play a larger role in Floyd post WWYH. He's a better singer than Waters IMO, and think the sound of the late 70s floyd would have been really...

  12. Rick Wright and Freddie Mercury as keyboardists

    thomasquinn, I agree with your post. Once again, I am not trying to saw one pianist is better than the other really, I was just observing the differences that they would use when playing piano. I didnt mean that Rick...

  13. Rick Wright and Freddie Mercury as keyboardists

    Hi, not being a piano player myself, I was wondering what the technical differences are between Rick Wright (Pink Floyd) and Fred's leyboard style were. To me, it sounds like by ear that Freddie used more "plain" majo...

  14. songwriting/instruments question

    Hi, Couple of questions. I was wondering who it was who played the telecaster (the rhythm guitar) on Man on the Prowl was it Brian or Freddie? I was wondering if it was fred on that one (maybe a reason why he switched...

  15. Debut Album/Freddie songs

    Hi, So I have been listening a lot to the debut album and was wondering if Freddie really was able to have composed Great King Rat/Liar/etc. on guitar (or was it piano maybe?) I know he wrote most of his songs from Qu...

  16. Ogre battle riff/Freddie and guitar

    Your Fairy King, yeah I agree with you that for songs like Great King Rat, Jesus, etc. the acoustic composition by Freddie was probably radically different to what was actually recorded in the studio. But here are a f...

  17. Ogre battle riff/Freddie and guitar

    Ok thanks. So he would have probably wrote it note by note (or chord by chord) slowly when he played it on the acoustic? and Brian played it at the correct tempo?

  18. Ogre battle riff/Freddie and guitar

    Hi, Im not a musician but I was wondering how Freddie came up with the Ogre Battle riff. In an interview Brian said he wrote the riff and its detail on an acoustic, but didnt he always claim to only know three chords?...
