Here is a new addition to the QZ fan cover collection - a song which is not covered that often.

I also forgot to announce Killer Queen by Bernie Garzio.

Listen and enjoy

That was truly awful. How do you have the nerve?
I like Your cover! really nice... really good mix... but a heavier bass will be great... you have a nice voice, and you perform the song very like freddie... really nice cover... love that song....


I hope my covers get uploaded soon... hehehe... XD
great great job, nice and soft.
Congratulations
Pretty good. Not a great Queen song to begin with but and enjoyable remake.

I like the idea of fan covers but honestly the only one I ever go back to is Luciano Fat Bottomed Girls.
I like the bass. Vocals are good but IMO they need more reverb or a more 'foreground' mix. Somehow they're too 'dry', especially the harmonies, but they're well-sung (particularly the ones in the middle-eight, love them!), so it's only a matter of EQ IMHO.

If I may ask: what gear did you use? I like that 'monster-bass'. I missed the two seconds of piano that the original version has... normally I like it when people deviate from the album/single, but in this case a 'fill' was much needed.

Very good job all in all, keep them coming! (What about Keep Passing the Open Windows or Lily of the Valley?)
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
Lily of the Valley??

I am just about ready to finish the bass, add a few more cymbals and mine is done.... :)

....and Princes of the Universe,The Miracle, Flick, Innuendo,AKOM,You and I,Night Comes Down...etc etc....
Shame about the MP3 splishy splashy sounds. 128kbps is a bit wimpy these days, isn't it.

Anyway, I like the sound of the bass at the start - very like the original. Got me back into how the song sounded. Good reminder, ya know? Your voice works really well on this track, especially with the double-tracking. Nice and loose. Nicely done. Good backing vocals, too. Really works well.

Drums are a bit too dry and just need some gentle reverb to spread it into the background a spot. Just a smidge. Nice guitar add-ins at the beginning and end. Nicely blended in. Just a shame going into the 2nd verse they're a little weird sounding there.

Overall, a very good cover of this particular song. Only thing it probably lacks is an overall compression to really bring all these elements in the song together. Otherwise, cool.

Adam.
Pretty good,

But I want to play Guess the Accent..
