  1. Director of Bohemian Rhapsody (Video) feels 'ripped off' by Queen.

    Tangential, but has anyone here seen the video he did for the Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive in 1977? It's hilariously bad - done in exactly the same style, but somehow executed so much worse. They didn't use it at the time,...

  2. Each Members' Songwriting Style

    Those themes certainly help determine who's written something. I'll add that most of Roger's 70's rock n roll tunes are in minor keys, and are guitar driven. John definitely shows the clearest Motown influence, and th...

  3. Could we make our own Queen cover?

    Here's my stuff, incl: - Tambourine - Acoustic guitar - Backing vocals (mono and stereo mixdowns, can upload individual parts if necessary) https://mega.nz/#F!lpZDRIhA!OsOVkq3FiWD4faofACW6xw Vocals seem to be pretty w...

  4. Could we make our own Queen cover?

    Instrumentally I can have a go at acoustic guitar and maybe a tambourine or something. I can sing, but I’ll not be much use at this song in this key - my full voice doesn’t go all that high. How are backing vocals bei...

  5. More Of That Jazz without the mix

    I can see what they were going for, in that it’s supposed to be a pun - they’re literally giving the listener ‘more of that jazz’. But yeah, sonically it’s completely shite and they should have known better. It’s thos...

  6. Bohemian Rhapsody OST released!

    God I hope they don’t do that...

  7. Bohemian Rhapsody film scene

    The depiction of Roger is definitely a simplified one. In reality he’s probably got the most cutting sense of humour of the four members, but the character in the film just seems like a tool who doesn’t take the music...

  8. Greg Brooks to reveal BohRhap Official Soundtrack album/Jazz Outtakes

    It’s so puzzling - they used to produce their own music, and theoretically they know what a good mix sounds like. Is it that they haven’t adapted well to working digitally? Or do they just not care, and let Justin Shi...

  9. WOULD YOU LIKE A SMILE COMEBACK?

    Maybe with Roger as lead singer it could work... Tim can’t sing much of anything now by the sound of it. Either way it wouldn’t happen - very little money to be made without the ‘Queen’ name attached.

  10. Bohemian Rhapsody OST released!

    I’m just confused as to how the Doin All Right recording is gonna function within the movie. They’re not gonna try and play it off as the audio of Smile playing in 68/69 are they? The recording itself couldn’t sound m...

  11. Greg Brooks to reveal BohRhap Official Soundtrack album/Jazz Outtakes

    ‘Negative arseholes’ - is anyone who doesn’t blindly worship what’s put out by QPL a negative arsehole? The fact is, there’s a great deal wrong with the way audio production is handled on these releases. Things like d...

  12. BohRhap: "Can you go a bit higher?"

    I agree about Roger's voice, but I'd say it's quite difficult to emulate having that sort of broken, high register voice, if your voice doesn't truly match that register. It would probably sound silly. Also, it's a ni...

  13. BohRhap: "Can you go a bit higher?"

    Artistic licence is fine if it actually improves the film artistically, or streamlines things to convey the same message in a more direct way. But I don’t believe this scene does that. Perhaps ‘higher’ is something th...

  14. BohRhap: "Can you go a bit higher?"

    What about the fact that Freddie is telling Roger to sing ‘higher’? The melody is set in place - to sing higher would be to sing sharp. Seems like the writers are a bit lacking in grasp of music.

  15. Supposed errors in new Bo Rhap movie

    They went to the trouble of getting Brian's straightened hair right for 1969-1971. It seems weird that they would go to that level of detail, but then make such an obvious mistake as Freddie having a mustache three ye...

  16. Lennon or McCartney Stats

    I've seen this posted a lot, I dunno how much stock I put into it to be honest. I'm not sure if it's something that can really be determined statistically. Yes, Lennon might've had a tendency to write melodies in a mo...

  17. An article I wrote about '39

    mooghead wrote: "A diminished chord whose root is a tritone apart from the tonic" I like turtles. I am not even being pretentious. I really do. I hope my words make me liked amongst the turtle/turtles/dimished turtle...

  18. An article I wrote about '39

    Making my way through this now - real nice. Never knew that Brian considered calling it 'Wreck of the '39' - seems possible or even likely that he got the idea from 'Wreck of the John B', which was also part of the sk...

  19. Were you ever mocked at school for liking Queen?

    Chief Mouse wrote: He never said Adam was a better singer. He basically said that Adam is able to consistently nail the high notes live whereas Freddie usually wouldn't & couldn't go there in a live situation. It's a...

  20. Favorite Live Covers

    Big Spender and Tutti Frutti are probably their best imo. Big Spender has such a good groove, and is much more raucous than the original recording. Tutti Frutti works really well with the three part harmony and the fi...
