Brian and Roger Working on Freddie and Jacko Tracks

Its out there now. Brian announced on C4's Fern show today that he and Roger are working on the Freddie and Michael Jackson tracks. Brian and Kerry were on the show basically to advertised their up and coming shows. They performed an acoustic version of "I Loved A Butterfly" as well which Brian said he wrote with her (Kerry) in mind originally.

Here we go again. Watch out Anita.

hahahahahahahaha !! we knew this could happen ....

Brian says, in other words, that he preffers Kerry singing "Butterfly" than Paul Rodgers. I am not a big fan of Paul's, but there is no way she could even come near him on this one. QPR version is light years better. That's my humble opinion, anyway. Of course the Master himself is entitled to have his one, as well. :)

Cheers,

PR version is waaaaaay better!!!

One of the few songs on the cosmo rocks that I like....

Totally agree with you guys. The song with PR is one of the finest moments in TCR ... and the song with KE is, well ... just as almost everything she sings: annoying. I´m sorry, but can´t stand her voice more than three songs in a row. It gives me headaches.

I agree, the Paul Rodgers version is better!

Agreed - Paul sings it way better.

Back to topic:

Brian talks about "snippets", wich is intriguing. We took for granted these songs would include State of Shock and TMBMTLTT, wich Freddie and Michael recorded completely. Now, what do you think? Is "Victory" coming at last? could there also be another unknown track?

Freddie never finished State of Shock with Mj as MJ then gave the song to Mick Jagger to do as Freddie and Michael could not get anymore time together to finish it

well, this version looks quite "developed" to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=ES&v=OEBo0Hf3LqE

paul is so much better on this

one of the finest momemnts on TCR.

had it been on made in heaven and had freddie on vocals, it would have been a hit

well lets see... I LOVE Micheal Jackson!!!! Having the last name myself, that is one of the reasons I am know as Wacko Jacko :P and since I also love Queen, this could be one great musical phenomena!!! :D Can't wait to hear it!!!! :DDD

I am interested to see which angle they take on this;

Do they make it very Queen sounding, rock style with a 'guest' vocal from MJ, or do they try to make it far more a MJ sounding thing (a la Hot Space?), and have it more pop/soul/dance sounding (which if as rumoured the music is for an MJ duets style album this may be what the record company want).

Roger (and to a lesser extent Brian) are capable of getting a sound that would suit MJ's vocals (akin to You Don't Fool Me), but I'd much prefer to see Freddie's vocals being given prominence, and something like There Must Be More To Life Than This being built into a big epic rock ballad with string parts, harmonies etc.. (just my preference).
