Not sure if this is the right section to post this, but here's my take on what Bri might've done for this tune had he been asked... !

Hi Bob, That's actually Really Great. One question, who's playing the guitar? Is it your handy work? if so, Fantastic :-)
Joyful the sound
Indeed, that would be I.

there's a feel of the orchestrated tones from ANATO - esp seaside rendezvous...

Nice one, sir ! Your rendition definitely proves that Brian's guitar sound DOES improve the backing track. I forgot how kinda cheap it sounds now by the way... Thanks to Freddie's magnificent vocal performance. Try to listen to the original version right after that... Sounds a bit flat in my opinion. And I don't mean to be disrespectful to The Platters at all, but come on !

I think you should try something with one of the very talented remixers we got here ! That would be excellent !
Oops ! I meant that the backing track was eluded by Freddie's performance... Nevermind... I must be tired.
You've got some chops...well done!
The Golden Gate Bridge should have a long bungee cord for people who aren’t quite ready to commit suicide but want to get in a little practice.
Awesome! Now do all of Mr. Bad Guy and make it a Queen album :D
Also, which version did you use, Bob? I'm trying to sync up the instrumental take with the familiar version and it runs almost 20 seconds faster.
great!

which version of the red special did you use? :)

I used the backing track from the Freddie box set, and brought it down to F#, since the modulation to G for the heavy part is a guitar-friendly key.

I added another cycle of the verse for the guitar solo, which should explain the time difference !

BMG. Waaaay better than the old Burns.

Nice. If you could master the usual key, a vocal version would sound awesome! ;)
Remember to deliver with the speed of light A little bit of love and joy
Really liked that Bob - wonder how long it'll take before someone merges it and passes it off as an official take??
