  1. Question about Jazz Album

    Perhaps the other disc's worth was all kinda shite material, hence it being dropped. Simple but logical.

  2. Lennon's "Mother" an influence on Bo Rhap?

    Perhaps coincidence, or perhaps not, but the verse of "Mother" off John Lennon's first solo album (1970) begins in much the same way as the first verse of Bohemian Rhapsody. While in Bo Rhap it's 'mama' rather than 'm...

  3. Air Guitar Anthems

    It's kind of sad listening to that - he was always a tasteful guitarist, but there's something not particularly tasteful about his lead guitar in the first thirty seconds or so of that track. Too much gain & the mutin...

  4. See What a Fool...

    Yeah, I knew of the Mystery Train lyric lift. I was thinking of the studio version as the rewritten version, since it was recorded in 74, after the other version had already been done on tour in 73. I guess we can't s...

  5. Miracle Interview (Los Angeles) Brian/Roger

    2 minutes in - Brian's train of thought here about LA and the sunshine remedying his depression seems to be the same one that went into the writing of Back to the Light, which was written around that time if I'm not m...

  6. See What a Fool...

    It'd be interesting to find out what led to the studio version being so different. Based on its campness, it seems like Freddie must've been instrumental in taking Brian's blues song in that direction. That then raise...

  7. See What a Fool...

    Seems more like two distinct but prepared versions of the lyrics. Live and BBC are always about getting a train to Georgia which is 16 coaches long, if I'm not mistaken.

  8. Multi-track find:

    Wow nice - were you looking for something, or did you somehow catch it while just listening through the multis?

  9. Queen: On Air (Pre-order now available)

    Terrible artwork. I honestly see no logic in making the concerts incomplete - which consumer base do they think they're appealing to by withholding stuff they could easily include? (especially since it's a bloody 6 di...

  10. Hammer to Fall Alternate Version?!?

  11. New John Deacon 2016 Picture

    Vocal harmony wrote: It's an assumption that this is outside JD's house, on his door step. Well, it's somewhere where they were expecting to find him, as they had their vinyls ready.

  12. Beatles Hollywood Bowl

    Here's how a live album should be done - take note QPL. The performance is left pretty much intact, with occasional vocal imperfections, botched guitar notes, no triggered drums as far as I can hear (though the possib...

  13. "BoRhap" by Panic at the Disco

    Pretty beat for beat cover, and there's definitely playback under them for the opera section (whether it's their own recording or Queen's, I'm not certain).

  14. Best crescendos in Queen's music

    matt z wrote: If Brian had topped the White Queen. ... That song may have never happened In that case, three cheers for university-aged Brian being a shy fellow.

  15. Best crescendos in Queen's music

    Bob's remark about Teo Torriatte having one of the best climaxes in a Queen song got me thinking - crescendo really is something that Queen mastered like no other group I've ever heard. It's fun and worthwhile to pick...

  16. Most Powerful/Emotional Queen Song

    All Dead, All Dead.

  17. The Mandela effect? We are the champions changed ending

    Mercuryking wrote: if you look up the mandela effect, there are some real weird things. Some stuff from the past seem to have changed. Here are some examples. The line from Star Wars where darth vader says Luke , i am...

  18. John's voice

    I think the reality when Deacon presented his compositions would've been a combo of what Moog and Sebastian have suggested. It seems most direct and practical that he would have demonstrated his songs on guitar/piano...

  19. The Mandela effect? We are the champions changed ending

    Are the commenters being ironic, or are there really masses of people who believe in such bs?

  20. C_Matt's "Jazz (HD Revision 2.0)"

    What's your process for separating the elements of the audio files for re-EQing and mixing, Matt?
