Obvious answer to the original post? Not really, no. But just to pitch my two cents, I've always thought that some Queen tracks really are timeless - the members really didn't leave an 'of-the-time' mark on a lot of them. Take Hammer to Fall, for example. I would've said it was made in '77 on random instinct, but I know it's '84. And like some people have said Innuendo doesn't exactly seem very 'nineties' to them, and it definitely doesn't scream '91 from the 'random instinct' point of view, does it?

I bet Kurt have listened to "Don't Try Suicide!!", However his pain,demons, and personal anguish was far beyond "nobody's worth it, nobody cares". I know you are joking, however not sure if this is a matter that can me taken lighlty.Kurt's story is a story of man in a hell of lot of pain.

Yeah I was just joking guess its just my way of dealing with it as I myself has been through something very similar to Kurt, being paralyzed with depression during my teens, guess thats why I never really got into Nirvana as it was painfully close to what I was feeling.. Till now as I am really appreciating listening to what he was going through and the music behind it such as the bass lines and guitar... It is very very deep lyrics what Kurt wrote. Its funny with Nirvana as I have two friends who are polar opposites with Nirvana. One (a big grunge/alt rock fan) loves the new direction in music that they were developing, while the other being a fan of the 80's guitar solos such as old school cliff/dave mustaine inspired metallica, Marty Friedman, Steve Vai and Jason Becker. hates Nirvana for "destroying" that 80's technical guitar era.

And what you said about The Miracle is very true too

It would have been exciting to see where Queen would have gone in the 90s...!

Ok.Now i totally get you. Actually same case here during my teens.
But beeing now in a second huge wave of depression, accosiated with grief, guilts and the actual suicide of my sibling, i become a little sensitive with these issues.
And humour, an old time life-saving friend, dosen't exactlly do its job this time.

Hey man so sorry to hear that yeah I can only 3/4 understand where you are at I hope you are ok. Myself it started from my parents having a messy break up around when I was 11 which led my sister into anorexia then into depression because she couldn't get to 20kgs which ended up with many attempts at ending her life which "fortunately" was never successful. Then myself, I was left in the middle because I was too laid back/wasn't the type of person who spoke their feelings which led me in to an undiagnosed depression and 130kgs and the fear of being in public and what they would think of seeing this 130kg kid.... And I guess from the reply from your last post on the other thread icy feeling.... Here in NZ we have so many slangs and uses for one word, a lot of my friends from overseas have said that English and esp our kiwi lingo is some of the most complicated in the world to understand... and along with that, I guess that my schooling was stifled some what from what I went through. I struggle to come up with the words that I really want to say but can't find the words so just come up with words that I feel best describe what I want to say I guess... With the name Stelios and me following my soccer cause my fathers Scottish... You're from somewhere around Greece....? correct me if I'm wrong....!!! Yeah mate which is why I love Queen as it was a band that I always listen too during those times which helped me through I guess... Mate if you want a break man you have a free place to stay should you ever come to NZ!!!! the perfect place to visit a country bigger than the UK but only 4 mill people!!!. Take you to an all blacks game and get you into Rugby mate!!!
