Yeah, to me it's a poor man's TATDOOL solo... it's not bad, but it's not at all special or fitting to the song. [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]It's never bothered me that much because songs are a product of the people who made them. It's a mournful, draining thing to listen to. The solo should (by rights) not be all that good. [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]I've also never understood why he went with the guitar sound that he did. It's the uglier cousin of Big Log or something.[/QUOTE]

Its really good. I want to do a cover of the show must go on, but I'd sound crap probably, cause I'm a girl. But it may be ok!!! Good redition of the song though. Well done!!

[b]It's a beautiful song, so poignant and emotional. The first time I ever heard it I couldn't stop crying for a good half an hour or so, the lyrics really got to me and the fact that metaphorically Freddie dies during the song...[/b][b] [/b][/QUOTE][b]I can't listen to it now, it's far too sad.

[b]On another note, I absolutely ADORE 'A Winter's Tale'. It's one of my favourite songs ever. It should have been Christmas Number One when it was released![/b]

a lot of dissing of brians guitar solo here....a bit surprised at that....The only thing I would have liked is if the solo was longer...I think it fit the song perfectly.

Ditto. This solo is perfect in making atmosphere and mood.
The thing is, I think that approach suited Big Log. Maybe this song was too impossibly sombre to really present, although I've always found it suitably depressing to listen to... the drums and the guitar sound have never really worked for me. The synths fit, if only because they'd been using them for longer than the time they hadn't used them, by that stage... besides which the textures from Innuendo onwards don't bother me that much. [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]The solo just sounds like it needed more effort. Again, maybe it was a stylistic choice.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]I've always found it curious that the 3rd verse employed "My body", "My dreams" whereas the Freddie verses had "I don't want", etc. I wonder if that was a deliberate move.[/QUOTE]

In the end. Stop skip to the next track after 5 secs of playing!

Yes, but the only "Pro" votes for Brian in this thread say things like "I love it" or "I think its great". I'm curious as to what you (and others) find great about it. Yes, I have attacked the tone. Yechhh!!!! Sounds like a crappy foot pedal gone bad. That's a guitar? Actually, Big Log had a much clearer, defined bite. This lacks that and any warmth to it. I know Bri loves Treble but this is just silly. If he was going for the Big Log sound, I think he may have wanted to switch guitars to something with a more sharper pickup.
You can't really tell what some of the notes are when you add all that mud. That is one of the things I've always enjoyed with him. A clear, defined, screaming note. We don't need phasors, flangers, and God knows what else along WITH delay. That's just insane.
