Negative Creep
Maybe it time for people to start ignoring the mental patients/retards posts. It can't comprehend that people don't agree with it.

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.

whats so amateurish about it? i want to see you do half of what we have done.

It's amateurish because you are still at the point in your musical evolution where you don't understand the concept of space. Listen to and understand what Miles Davis was doing on Sketches Of Spain and maybe then you won't feel the need to fill in "gaps," let alone believe you are somehow improving Queen's music.
The simplicity, particularly the Simon and Garfunkel-style parallel thirds in the chorus vocals as Sebastian mentioned in another thread, and spacious nature of the song is its very charm. The piano harmony is not needed in the build-up to the chorus, as it makes the same use of harmony in the chorus superfluous. Sometimes less is more.
Your keyboard parts obstruct Brian's solo. They are unnecessary, and take away from its sentimentality, which is the very feeling of the song and everything it embodies. They date the song and make it sound almost like an 80s throwback. The original is timeless, and thankfully your version won't be the one being heard by millions.

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.

Anyone else agree that these are the days of our lives feels like its unfinished? its so empty and lacking something, thats why we improved it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_pfoWaIrfU[/QUOTE]
Damn awful! But what can you expect from someone playing in the worst band on earth ever! One finger keyboards in the chorus - omg. People have been arrested for minor crimes

I'm looking forward to seeing what TM does to improve Hot Space - the whole point of the album title is that the band left 'hot spaces' in the music to fit the funkier/disco style. There are loads of annoying, pointless spaces in most of the tracks that could be filled right up with loads more instruments! [img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img]

I like the piano, except during the solo - it adds nothing in that part. As for the warm pad... not bad, but it doesn't quite do anything special.
Roger's solo version is quite brill IMO - much better piano than TM's.

I think you were sensitive enough to bring up the question - it feels unfinished. That's a quite interesting observation in itself - I don't think your answer to this question is right, and I don't even think it's enough for you.
You got something important, it seems, and I guess you were quite sensitive there, maybe because you're a big fan of Queen and, especially, Freddie.
No matter how the song has been thought up and recorded, it's bound to feel unfinished for some because it has a very poignant, melancholy side to it: the song makes me remember of Freddie, for instance, and gives me the melancholic feeling that he left things unfinished, that he died all too young, and it's as if these things were there in the song.
That happens, I think, because the song talks about all our lives - we'll never get to do all we wanted, we'll probably face at least as much frustration as what's considered to be "success", and we'll never be able to go back to times, those few times, when we felt really happy - our souls are always longing, searching for answers and experiences, they have always this emptiness and, yes, imperfection: we feel unfinished because we don't feel plain, we don't feel we got from life everything life might give us. And we all know that our journey, this lonely and unique journey, feels unfinished too because its complement is what we most want to deny to ourselves: our mortality.
So, yes, in an emotional level, for me, the song feels unfinished: emotionally. But that's, TM, was excatly what the guys who composed the song were aiming at - they wanted to express this sense of fragility and convey the notion that only love, to some extent, may give us a driving force and a steady guidance, something one could regard as a meaning.
And love is all about...incompleteness: we feel we are not loved enough, sometimes we feel we don't love enough...
It feels unfinished to me emotionally, though not musically, because that was exactly, I think, what the guys were aiming at - some things are better expressed or told or implied if only vaguely suggested or outright silenced.
Best regards!
