At the end of the day, it's way too easy to write 'I've heard it and I can confirm it exists', and that can easily be true, and can easily be false. Same for, say, claiming to have seen Brian taking off his wig or Rog confirming PR was Freddie's favourite singer.
I can see where you're coming from, but the questions I was expecting to hear back was who had it, how he/she got it and who it came from - that's why I said I couldn't say more. In essence, it would have been more difficult to say more, that is correct. If I was thinking that the response would have been "who played on it, is it a demo, is it full or partial and how many choruses were on it?", I could have elaborated to the best of my ability, considering I heard both tracks just once and it was around eight years ago.
The reason I hadn't answered microwave's questions right away was that he resorted to crying bullshit and namecalling instead of just asking straight out the things he thought he had to know. I'm not being childish (although it could be said that his attempts at flaring our argument with petty, smart-arsed remarks is, however), I'm just fed up with that guy's attitude - why should I answer to him? If the conversation was more polite and rational from his end, fair enough. I am open to debate, that's the point in the forum, but not to demands. I don't know who he thinks he is, but he can go take a fuck to himself if he's going to continue to talk to me the way he has been. There's no need for it whatsoever.
For those who are interested in the best of what I can recall from hearing the track (as I say, it was eight years ago and played once, I don't know how I'm expected to remember every little detail) one version sounded experimental - there were the usual ad-libs and fluffed notes, the other sounded a bit more polished, but not in similar vein as one would expect from the rest of the victory album, if indeed it was intended for use then (and yes, Microwave, I'm familiar with the album, the tracks and the sound - I have the thing and am an MJ collector as well as a Queen collector). I don't think that any of them were finished versions, one had a very rough feel and was more of a jam of a few minutes, the other was more structured but definitely not what you'd expect to be a final product (although it doesn't cut out and is a bit longer). It could have been a demo, but I'm no expert.
There is something Microwave has been getting at, and that's the allegation that what I heard was some sort of weird mix - but how the hell the potential bootlegger/ faker or whatever managed to get Freddie and MJ singing the same song, bouncing off one another and in similar chord and tempo is anyone's guess. In order for them to mix it up would mean they would have to have recorded the same song at different times - and in a similar vein - for them to be able to have merged the tracks together.
Now how likely is
that?
It doesn't matter what I say or how I describe what I heard, there are still going to be people who do not believe it. Everyone will still have their own opinions on it and they will continue to have the same discussion over and over again. Even if the tracks do get released, in full or sampled form, people will still look back to this discussion and doubt that it is the same track I believe I heard. Geez, folk are even still saying the the state of shock and more to life than this demos are fake.
And some food for thought - if they do get released, who says that it won't just be some QPL mix of shit merged together to form what sounds like a track just to shut us all up? (I believe some of that Freddie box set is, btw).
