I dunno.
The crowd response in this clip from Vegas is pretty dang strong.

I dont agree, but then its pretty hard to tell from a boot to be honest. It seems to me that the loudest cheer was before the song started which suggests that the cheering was actually for the song before TL.
Although I like TL, it is a bit "formula rock" imo. By that I mean it starts off with the traditional "quietish" first verse, then comes the "cliffhanger" chord before the chorus. The rest of the song is pretty much the same. From the boots that I have seen and heard, Brian's solo doesnt seem to have that hummability factor that you get with his solo's from Bo Rhap, TYMD, etc. Maybe all that would change if I heard a studio version of the song, with all the proper backing, this "ok" song will become a great song.

So you were also complaining when you bought The Works backin '84 that there Breakfree, Hammer to Fall, Radio Ga Ga and IT's a Hard Life on there? Because you already heard them on single?
That's the problem with singles, you hear them before the rest of the album.

Excuse me?
So the kids are going to be debating purchasing Little Wayne or the new Queen album, huh? How exactly have Queen or Paul Rodgers been able to stay in touch with the fans? Granted Rodgers may bring more album sales, for he has never stopped touring and isn't opposed to doing a small venue. And if you're still trying to cling on to former fame, the only way to do that is to reach out to the fans and bring the music to them. Queen haven't exactly done that since 1986.

Fried Chicken, the point that I'm making is that SINT and Warboys are remakes of previously released songs.....Breakfree and the Works stuff was all new at the time.

Am I missing something here?
Warboys a remake of a previous version?
Details please!
Thanks,

Actually, only Radio Ga Ga was released before the album. The Works was released in February, IWTBF single in Arpil, IAHL in July, and HTF in September.

Thanks Jeroen.
Thanks Jeroen.
I was at the album playback last week and the question why Take Love was not on the album was asked.
The answer from Justin Shirley-Smith was that they did work on the track in the studio, several times, but the band were never completely happy with the results. They like it as a live track but could not come up with a studio version they felt worked. So in terms of a studio version it is a work in progress, but they had no idea if it will ever get completed given that the tour etc starts very soon. Album running time was also cited as another reason by Kris. ie. Not enough room for everything and as the band were not entirely happy with it, that was the track that got dropped.
And to answer the other question in the original post, the Runaway question was also raised.
The response, Runaway has been recorded and is currently planned to be released as an itunes exclusive track with the album.
