yes, a very fundamental part, in fact can you imagine Nevermore or You And I without synths?

I think the backwards piano and such just proves that they were quite aware of how other things sounded backwards in that song ;)
Is this a joke? Then it's a good one. I'm new here you know, so... anyway I think it says in the credits of The Game that an Oberheim synth was used on the album, and there's obviously one on AOBTD... again, maybe I'm not getting the joke here..
Still I agree, it was a big change away from the lush 70s no synths approach, but also a necessary change into the 80s...

actually it's no Joke dude... synths were on the album, but AOBTD does NOT have them on there, all brians works with his red special.

From "The Game" onwards.
All their albums prior to Game always made a point to state "No Synthesizers!" on the sleeves, more or less.[/QUOTE]
Synths on The Game provide nothing more than a few ambient sound effects, really; I'd state Flash Gordon as the first true synth-effort. Anyways, what does Treasure Moment know about music?

Actually not: neither 'News' or 'Jazz' have the 'no synths' line, so they didn't *always* made that point.

That is SO wrong. Freddie's voice, Brian's guitar, their songwriting, the tongue in cheek, the anthemic quality of many of their songs... those are fundamental parts of Queen. Not Synths! [/QUOTE]
Actually, Brian?s guitar isn?t as important as Brian?s guitar playing; Freddie?s voice isn?t as important as Freddie?s singing.

It's NOT all Brian?s work with the Red Special. Loads of effects on that song aren?t Brian, but John on backwards piano, or Roger on e-drums. Indeed, there are no synths in AOBtD.
