Agreed.
How good that torrents exists. you have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the product before buying.

I don't get where this idea comes from that sonisphere was cancelled because Q+AL couldn't sell tickets ? It was cancelled because the whole weekend was undersold ! Given the promotion that this N.American tour got, similar promotion in Europe would have the same effect, Q+PR was very poorly promoted.

Are we all absolutely sure that Love Kills on the album will have Freddie's vocals, and hasn't been re-recorded by Lambert??
A horrific thought I know, but just reading Brian's quote about it where he says of 'Love Kills'; "which you'll hear in the show AND which we do with Adam".
I pray I'm reading far too much into it......[/QUOTE]
I can speak on behalf of all things official...you ARE reading too much into it. You have NOTHING to worry about.

But of course however, some people would rather not let facts get in their way of maintaining a delusional bias.
If Q+AL were the supposed reason for Sonisphere's cancellation, then tell me why Summer Sonic and Super Sonic are still going on? OH, that's right, they have ticket sales propping it up! So much for that "Q+AL tour is not going to sell any tickets" schtick.

I'm almost sure that it won't be. It'll be "close to" live, slow version.
What is much more logical if the album is sorted as "ballad album".

Quite a few of the tracks from Mr bad guy were tracks Queen rejected ![/QUOTE]
That is a myth!
Freddie stated that if it wasn´t good for Queen, then he woudn´t use it on his solo album.
"Mr Bad Guy" is a perfect album for me. Brian was pissed that Freddie asked another guitar player to play his style instead of him. People can complain about production, but from a compositional point of view, it was perfect - Queen members know it, and any composer will tell you that.
All songs written by Freddie Mercury. Respect!
He made an album that puts Queen´s "The Game", and "The works" to shame. Obviously he saved the best songs for his solo project, not the rejected ones.

Agree about covering Freddie solo songs, don't like that although a heavy rock version of love kills would sound good. Hate Queen forever, shit name I suspect it will be basically a crap compilation like Absolute Greatest whatever or Greatest Hits 3. Dump Lambert, He was the reason Sonisphere was cancelled in 2012, get back Paul Rodgers or get Marc Martel, Justin Hawkins or Matt Bellamy singing. What's the point of Queen extravaganza if BM and RT still tour as Queen? C-lebrity is exactly what Lambert is!!!![/QUOTE]
Well...it's an off topic argument...but I totally agree with you!

As long as there's ONE good new Freddie-track, I'll be happy. But of course I hope for more.

This new album is sounding like MIH 2, without the excitement of the 3 last Freddie recordings. MIH was mostly old songs reworked and was mostly ballads. much like this album is shaping up to be. I wonder if "forever" from the magic sessions is gonna be on it. The album is gonna be called forever after all.

Well, you know. Forever is a "demo", or instrumental, or something-like-that of WWTLF, so I don't think Forever will be in Queen Forever.

No, it wasn't. It was some of Freddie's least imaginative writing ever. SOME of the lyrics are pretty good, and SOME of the melodies are fairly decent, but the harmonies and arrangements are not up to his standards. There is a good reason that the album flopped whereas The Works did moderately well - even The Works was just a better album than Mr. Bad Guy. That doesn't mean you can't like Mr. Bad Guy, I like it too, but it's definitely a worse album than The Game and The Works, the examples you mention, and not just from a production point of view, but from a compositional angle too.

I agree with you. I bought the FM 10CD+2DVD box collection when it was released, and I listened to Mr. Bad. Guy for 1 time only. I hate that album, I hate it soo much that I always forget that it exists. The great solo stuff by Freddie was the Barcelona album in my opinion.

I think the production of Mr Bad Guy certainly lacked something. Having a Brian-like guitarist is nowhere near the same as having Brian. And Brian not being their to influence sound might have also been a factor in production, even if that was not necesarily strictly his role.
And obviously, as always, it's a matter of taste. But Mr Bad Guy was the source of the posthumous number UK hit Living On My Own, not my favourite I admit! But Made in Heaven and I Was Born to Love You weren't too bad as singles and were fairly successful as I recall and ultimately made it to MIH. So the album has produced some significant hits and is likely to continue to contribute at least one more track to the Queen catalogue. Probably two I would think.
Personally I also really like Mr Bad Guy and There Must Be More To Life Than This, the latter which would be a single at some stage with Jacko I would think. And other people have mentioned Man Made Paradise as a possible track. Might be interesting to hear an alternative vocal at the end from Freddie. No doubt he tried lots of different things to get it the way he wanted it.
