DING DING!!!! Here comes the Treasure Moment shitmobile DING DING!!!!

So, not only do you think your band is the greatest thing since Queen (and also better than the Beatles and even Mozart), now your amateurish additions to Queen songs make them improvements of the originals?

Hilarious.

I have not yet listened to the version posted at You Tube, but I have to agree that "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" sounds underproduced.  The song was always a great candidate for lush Queen harmonies, but -- for some reason -- the band decided to just go with two vocal tracks: Freddie and Freddie.  Also, the drum programming always left me a bit cold -- reminds me of an old Casio keyboard.  (Same goes for "Rain Must Fall" from the previous album.)



That said, I still love the song.  I think it represents Roger's best, most mature writing for the band.  I also like the restraint in both the lead vocal and lead guitar.  If Freddie had belted out the vocal like he did in, say, "All God's People" or "One Year of Love," the song would not be nearly so heartfelt.

Don't want to be rude. Don't want to speak like I have all the knowledge in store.

You won't hear me saying that your version is shit.
But to me your additions are totally unneccessary.
If you think the song needs some extra piano and synth, that fine.
I personally like the way Queen themselves wanted much more. It's less cheesy and sounds much more open IMO.
And I think Queen themselves have the most rights the arrange a song they written themselves the way they want it.

whats cheesy about filling in the silent parts? of course Queen does what they want, its just that this song feels unfinished instrumentally, its too quiet and can be improved.

TM, you need help my friend. Seriously.

nah its YOU who needs help, alot of stupid people in this world.

Filling in the 'silent parts' is totally pointless and ruins the light and shade of the song - one of the greatest aspects of Queen's music.  It's like taking the Mona Lisa and deciding to paint over the shaded parts of her face and make it look like it was taken with a camera with a flash.

Your additions aren't what I'd say are terrible, but they simply do not need to be there.  They're not even different enough or interesting enough to help the song.  They just make it sound cluttered.  It's too much - the song already builds quite nicely from a sparse sound at the start to something that's quite layered by the end.  It's a gradual process, it's brilliantly done, and conveys the feeling that (I guess) Queen were aiming for when they recorded it.
It shows that 4 professionals recorded the song, with 20 years of experience behind them.  You guys adding a few things here and there might make it more listenable for YOU, but do not be surprised if not many people agree.

Just covering my arse here; I don't think your additions were terrible.  They were just redundant.

NO, It wasn't unfinished. Your 'God,' and his band had 20+ years of musical experience under their belt...EACH; & their instincts served them right. The music has been perfectly tailored to fit the lyrics...and because of the reflective story of the lyrics, there is space instrumentally, which makes it more laid back. I have a severe prejudice against synthesizers...it's similar to the prejudice that Louis Farrakhan has against Jews. Only I don't hate people, I hate that cheezy fucking 80's era (Europe, VH, The Works album...etc.) all that shit.

synths were the evolution of Queen clearly, they used it more and more and its the best instrument there is and yes these are the days feels unfinished no matter what you say.

So you've basically started the thread based on one of your own feelings.  There's no crime in that.  And you now have a version of the song that you feel is more listenable.

The fact that just about no one agrees with you would seem to indicate that it's really a matter of opinion whether or not the song was 'unfinished'.  I personally love the arrangement of the song, if there's anything I would change it'd be that the percussion could sound less like a loop.  But I think the sparse bits make sense in context with the song as a whole, and the way it builds towards the end (and then has the quiet ending) is just great.  In my opinion, anyhow.

Haha. 

I don't see the fuss anyway.  You've got your remix, the rest of the world has ... well... whichever one they want to listen to.  Just don't march in here telling us we're wrong, unless you want to argue until judgement day on a topic that can go literally nowhere.  ("I'm right", "No I'm right" etc.).

check it out, trust me its better than the original and remember that is the only song i think is unfinished.

As I said, I'm sure it's not better, just different. 

I really can't understand your self inflated opinion of your skills.  As a musician I have recorded a number of Queen songs over the years, but, despite playing the drum parts beat for beat, I will never improve on Roger Taylor's original parts, and nor would I be so conceited as to claim to.

you have to understand that its not replacing of anyones instruments in this songs, its additions.

What a stupid Freddie picture. Looks like he finds your additions to TATDOOL that silly that he can't stop from laughing.
