  1. Let me in (your heart again)

    actually Freddie does sing some of the backing vocals about a minute in, but that's all.

  2. Acoustic Pianos - The Ultimate List (so to speak)

    you know what it depends on the digital, and the application of that digital. for instance - a Yamaha CP300 or Roland RD700NX/GX/SX as a piano for a rock recording studio - excellent. the same for teaching someone or...

  3. Freddie from month 5 to month 11?

    It's highly likely that the answer to this question is as mundane as Freddie was too ill to work around that time, or at least too ill to sing. Singing takes a huge physical effort, especially the stuff that Freddie w...

  4. The REAL inspiration for The Miracle album sleeve

    I'm not sure that the miracle cover was actually minimising the impact of Freddie's illness - after all in the videos for Breakthru, I want it all, Scandal, the Miralce, Invisible Man, Freddie actually looks fine. Als...

  5. Acoustic Pianos - The Ultimate List (so to speak)

    I watched the video of the We are the Champions studio sessions. From what I can see, the piano is a Steinway, but it is most certainly not a model D (it's not big enough). Looking at the shots where you can see the i...

  6. Freddie Mercury-Send In The Clowns

    I don't know if it's real or not, but it could be. Freddie's piano in his house was terribly out of tune, for instance, as you can hear on the garden lodge tapes (why, oh why, did he not hire a tuner?)

  7. Acoustic Pianos - The Ultimate List (so to speak)

    By the way I think that the Steinway that Roger had/has at Cosford Mill (OK, I know he's moved from there now) might be his own. I have no idea if the unblinking eye was recorded in Roger's studio or not (the video I...

  8. Acoustic Pianos - The Ultimate List (so to speak)

    You know something Sebastian, you have a point about the recorded sound of a piano. I can tell the difference, most times, between a Yamaha and a Steinway on the concert platform if I'm watching a recital (well, apart...

  9. Don't Try So Hard recorded December 1989

    I have a feeling that the demos that were called 'Africa by night' were worked into All God's People. Innuendo certainly has a 1989 version that someone posted on YouTube - most of the Innuendo sessions I THINK were i...

  10. Acoustic Pianos - The Ultimate List (so to speak)

    I've seen Tori Amos on videos using Yamaha and Steinway, but mostly she uses her own Bösendorfer. She's like Horowitz - takes it with her everywhere . That poor touring Steinway was already in quite a state after the...

  11. Let me in (your heart again)

    Hi Greg, I'm a pianist not a singer, but am I right in thinking that 'curbing' is what is commonly known as 'mix' between falsetto and chest voice, and overdrive/distortion is the full chest voice at the top of the ra...

  12. Don't Try So Hard recorded December 1989

    Oh right so they could have still been editing it up to the last minute? I had assumed that it was actually ready for release and just had to be pressed by that time. Yeah it seems that there was almost a whole album'...

  13. Magic Tour 86' Somebody To Love?!

    By the way I think Freddie could have sang somebody to love quite easily on the magic tour. It strikes me as strange that on some parts of the Wembley concert he was sounding forced and tired, but when they did Improm...

  14. Don't Try So Hard recorded December 1989

    Why wasn't it released then? I know Freddie was ill, but I thought that the album was actually completed and ready to go. Did they want it to coincide with the 'official' 20th anniversary?

  15. Are Queen just greedy bastards?

    actually it's not that five members of Queen want paying - it's that the band plus everyone who worked on the new release want paying. We have to assume that is the case for the Alice Cooper boxed set too, though! I t...

  16. Acoustic Pianos - The Ultimate List (so to speak)

    You know, by the time the piano has been pumped through a mixing desk and possibly compressed, a bit of gain added, etc, to cut through the mix, it starts to make less of a difference what make the piano is. Tori Amos...

  17. Don't Try So Hard recorded December 1989

    Cool. I knew that much of Innuendo was recorded or started in 1989, some of it I THINK grew out of the Miracle sessions. Was it not meant to be released by 1990 but was postponed because it took longer to finish?

  18. Queen +Adam Lamber on X Factor

    Sheer Brass Neck. Friends. xxx

  19. Let me in (your heart again)

    I have a question about Let Me In Your Heart Again. No disrespect meant but: The top C in it, well, it sounds very very clean compared to any other time Freddie sang a top C (I'm thinking about when he sang 'just a si...

  20. Queen +Adam Lamber on X Factor

    Wizard, you're totally right. Freddie completely dominated Queen in the minds of the public (even if not in practice). But actually Mr Bad Guy didn't do very well, Barcelona was a moderate success (perhaps in the mind...
