I hope it's got a decent guitar solo for a start!
You can tell Fred's not here :(

Thanks!! :)
This is great! I just hope Brian will extend the solo on stage. It's not bad at all - just too short. ;)

First of all, thanks to brians wig :)
Oh, don't worry.. it's only a 'single edit', it will be different on the album.. I say this quite surely, because a 'queen track' (even if I don't feel this C-lebrity as it) must have a better intro.. and a good-old-long guitar solo!!
I've to say.. of course IMO.. great drum work by Rog.. good guitar by Brian (maybe the riff too repetitive).. in general a 'nice powerful commercial song (why not, a hit)',
but it doesn't have an unique 'queen sound'. Listeners, or Queen fans recognize some trademarks in drums and guitars.. but differently, in two ways: Rog's and Bri's..
I can't say anything about the voice, although it could be perfect and perfectly suited to the song, in someone's opinion.. IMO it's not a 'Queen thing'..
Well, now.. Q+PR fans, please don't kill me for those words I said.. :)

Q+PR fans don't exist... just Queen fans that *like* Paul's colaboration with Brian & Roger.
Q+PR is the best Queen tribute you can find. And it features Brian & Roger themselves!

Okay folks, here is that version but with Paul's vocals REMOVED!
Go on, you can thank me later... :)

Can I have a version with Roger's composition replaced with somebody else's? ;)
Yes mate, after you've added Freddies Lead vocals to it! :)
BW thanks for providing the radio version of this track.
This song really had to grow on me, being a bit disappointed when I first heard it. But this version sounds really great to me and I've started playing it on my stereo, instead of through the headphones playing the mp3 on my pc.
I do feel something's missing, as stated earlier. In the old days it was just amazing to hear a Queen song for the first time. This one's different though it does have the trademarks of Roger, Brian and Paul. (imo)
Your second version (without the leadvocal)... funny but I prefer the original :-)
Great to hear the guitars so up front in that one though.

Personally i don't understand the "queen sound" debate: roger has often changed drumkits, jon bass guitars, they have played "funk black" music, hard rock, ballads...and which songs have a long guitar solo? certainly not all of them. and the intros?
i mean my friends every song is on his own. i already enjoy this single version of C-lebrity!

Quite simply, it doesn't matter how instruments are changed through the years, when you hear a Queen song, you know it's Queen before you Freddie starts singing.
When you hear the Stones, you know it's the Stones.
When you hear Quo (dear God), you know it's Quo!

NOTE: I WILL DELETING THIS ON SATURDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER, SO IF YOU WANT THE TRACK WITH THE DJ ANNOUNCING IT AS THE FIRST EVER AIR-PLAY OF THE NEW SINGLE, GET IT NOW!
first of all, thx for this. huh, i must be lucky one, i got this day before deleting :D. My opinion: chorus harmonies are little bit annoying, song overall is not that bad, but i compare it to songs that were not so succesful on Queen albums. still, you can find Queen elements in it. at the end, i'm glad they did something. it's better to have something then nothing...
cheers for this but does this mean you will be sitting in front of the radio next week when Ken The Bruce plays the album on his show too? ;-]

Not unless he's got Roger or Brian on the show.
Seriously, having the DJ announcing that C-lebrity is the first play of the song is something that, in 20 years time, you'll feel nostalgic about.
I've got Roger being interviewed about "Innuendo" after the first airplay that got in 1991, and it's nice to hear that. Those were the days.... :)
