No song, we're not the Scorpions!
None, they're all good as they are.
I mean, I love Hot Space. But reworked, would also be excellent.

I'm curious about what would happen if they rework The March Of The Black Queen. That would be awesome, a total fuckin' mess, or terrible?
Don't forget my collection of demos and outtakes: http://goo.gl/uQARhn PM me if you want any [leaked] multitrack. Ya se ven los tigres en la lluvia.
I've thought, for quite some time (even BEFORE I ever heard any live versions of it!) that they should have re-done Action This Day! Great song, but I absolutely HATE that synth-horn solo thing in the middle! Would have been nice to hear a proper Brian solo instead.....
I'll take you to the Seven Seas of Rhye
We are the Champions. I would love to hear a 1986 or 1989 version of this awesome song with more powerful vocals by Freddie. Something similar to the Magic Tour versions or to the voice he uses on I Want it All.
queen songs are actually very well arranged... they almost all sound like they were worked and reworked, tinkered with, and then at some point reprocessed... these guys weren't on the fly (save Sleeping on The Sidewalk).

the few i'd take out of that pool -->

Life Is Real -> it just feels like it's missing something (more than JL, lol)
Keep Passing The Open Windows should have been edited in some form and could have been an awesome single if only it had a better chorus...
My Baby Does Me would have been an interesting blues number... and would have benefited in any sort or rearrangement... the production on that one is mismatched.
Not reworked exactly, but I would love to hear March of the Black Queen (one of my very favourites) as performed at the Rainbow, but full length. Heavy piano, heavy sound. And the more powerful vocals.
HANGMAN...
Remix jazz and innuendo. Short on dynamics. .... Jazz has a horrible drum mix.

Wonder what happened at the helm.


No remakes but STAYING POWER isn't a bad idea. ...

Especially since the song's so shirty


Yes "shirty"


Ditch the synth and replace it with a classic EWF brass sound like on SHINING STAR. .


Eek. Well.... playing it back over in my head. ... the song would still suck.

I like the whole "power" delivery though
"Come tonight! Come see the Overbite! Come to Ogre Battle, FIGHT!"
I like Scandal a lot, but the music could/should be more louder or aggressive. There should be a lot rage and anger in the song.
I think I'll be Clint Eastwood Jimi Hendrix he was good Let's try William the Conqueror Now who else do I like?
Bohemian Rhapsody (2 minute radio-friendly edit)
















(I kid, I kid...)
"I'd love to go down and see my pictures."
The synth solo in PTG could be redone.
I Want To Break Free redone with live instruments, a version like they did live. Same with Radio GaGa, A Kind Of Magic. Perhaps also Play The Game.
