Where's the Love for 'SCANDAL'??

I'm with Roger on this song.

I like Scandal and especially the video, as somebody mentioned above the last time you really see an energetic Freddie

I agree about Brian's guitar run on the extended version - it's INCREDIBLE and something I look forward to every time I play the 12" mix.  I'm not sure how it would have sounded in the single version though - maybe it would have been too much?  Not sure, but it goes perfectly with the extended mix.

Also:

"I've heard it quite a few times on the radio here in the 90's and they still sometimes play it. I do like it but it's not the best thing they did."

You know what's sad?  How RIDICULOUS that statement sounds to me.  And by that I mean, the idea of hearing ANYTHING from Queen (1980s or 1990s, that is) on the radio... here in the USA.  It just does not happen.  I'd freakin' lose it if Scandal came on any radio station here.  Capitol did such a poor job of promoting The Miracle here (especially the 'Breakthru' and 'Scandal' singles), it really is a shame.  The one thing you DO hear at least a bit these days is 'I Want It All' because it pops up on quite a few different TV commercials from time to time - and is always a treat to hear.

It's not one of my favourites but I like it. And I love the video.

I'm here, i love the song, the video, the guitar solo, the voice!

I LOVE IT!

The "bridge" melody (is that the correct term?) is awesome, in the part where the lyrics go: "today the headlines, tomorrow hard times, but...". Absolutely love it. As for the rest of the song, I can live with it.

Cheers,

Ogre-

Great song. Very good vocals!

I hadn't listened to it in a while so I just did and WOW, amazing vocal performance.

"It's only a life to be twisted and broken / They'll see the heart ache..." I love that part.

Roger wasn't very fond of it. I think because of the rather simplistic drum pattern.

There is a moment in the song where freddie looks into the camera and you see a bit of the older freddie

The Line  And no-one ever really knows the truth from the lies that gets me every time, because he knew what that line meant

I love the falsetto vocals on "tomorrow hard times" line. It's almost unaudible on speakers for me, but clear with headphones.

You see a lot of clips from the Scandal video in their other 'compilation' videos (like The Show Must Go On), so I guess it's clear DoRo really liked the video as well.

I can see Roger not liking it though - he didn't appear to be 'into it' very much.  But Freddie (as usual) was giving it his all (one of the last times too) and I liked what they did with Brian in the video during his solo as well.

No problem whatsoever with 'Scandal'.
It is rather galling though, that it a'int on G.H.3 while that abbarition of an excuse for a single 'another one bites the dust' with that freeloading wycliff toss pot, 'pissing on a picasso', to paraphrase mike myers, made it onto the album.
 Does anyone know how to erase a single track from a cd album?

Master marathon runner.

You know, I actually meant to mention that in my original post, but I think I rambled on too much and forgot.

It's a great point - even if, for whatever reason, it was decided Scandal "wouldn't fit" on GH II, why wouldn't they at least include it on GH III???  That's insane.  I remember that really driving me crazy when I realized it wasn't on GH III because, once again, that meant the video wouldn't be on Greatest FLIX III either.

Ah well, now that the Greatest Video Hits II DVD is out, all is forgiven.

But I ask you: will there EVER be a Greatest Video HIts III DVD release???

It still infuriates me that TYMD was never included on GH1 instead of GOFLB. POTU should have been on GH2 as well. GH3 is rubbish not really Queen tracks but solo stuff.
