[b]gerry wrote[/b]:[i]thanks for that chief mouse, well written.[/i]

,so [b]YOU[/b] agree with [b]CHIEF MOUSE[/b] but [b]YOU STIL[/b]L argue with [b]me [/b]- even tho [b][i]myself and CHIEF MOUSE are saying the same thing[/i][/b]...can YOU not see how illogical you are being?
please read my previous post properly and THEN come back and reply. - and IF YOU still choose to argue then this proves you are arguing for the sake of it. 
please try...just THIS ONCE

^ that's actually what Bob wrote. I merely quoted it. But yes, nothing was being thrown at him, check out the video on Youtube, Gerry.

^ Gerry is still being a troll. Case closed.

Wrong, Brenski is the troll on here and he is the one who is opinionated - fact!

Why is it so reviled? Because it fucking sucks donkey balls that's why. Now everyone fuck off!*


*Sorry, I've been watching "The Thick Of It" again :)

Good thread. I like Hot Space very much as a 'statement' album - as in the band are saying look at us actively changing. It opened the way for a glorious 80s as it itched the 70s sound and wiped the slate clean. They knew it was a drastic change (well, the 3 or 4 songs on it that stick to the 'Hot Space sound' - the rest could be considered no real change from the 70s Queen thing bar some super Mack production) and a change that could've totally cleaned up in America after the success of The Game, or totally killed them. As it was it really did neither, and with hindsight gave them a kick in the arse and probably sealed it for them what kind of band they were, which they were able to do for the rest of the 80s - classic pop but now with the added bonus of synths.

As for Body Language, much like the album it comes from it is a statement dressed up as a bit of fun. Perhaps after 10 years they were happy to let Freddie make a move and fall flat on his arse knowing full well after the success of Under Pressure and The Game that they would get further chances. For me, it's a bit of fun - and a song I continue to put on for pals as a WTF statement.

With hindsight, I really like Hot Space, but rarely listen to it. Like most of the other posters here I LOVE the live versions of the tracks, and LOVE the videos from the album, especially Calling All Girls. It was an odd time, but the band looked great and sounded so very, very 80s. It also helps that there are 14 other albums by the same 4 guys which contain better music but the same sense of fun and adventure creep through.

I think Hot Space is better than The Miracle or Flash Gordon.
Hot Space, the a side, is a risk, and have great tones. And the b side is more Queen's sound, with the exception of the hidden jewell Cool Cat!!!!

yes of course - and what do YOU base this on?
after all I'm NOT the one who can't spell, can't use basic grammar or punctuation and I'm NOT the one arguing with someone who has said THE EXACT SAME THING as someone I have already agreed with.

for someone claiming to be a long-time fan of the band from back in the day, you'd think you'd bring some intelligence to the debate - but most of your comments are asinine and your insults without any basis in truth. at least if i call YOU or anyone else something i can give a reason why i said it.

now, haven't you got some pigeons in the street you can go and shout at?

Never realised you worked for the spelling police ha ha!
There is worse grammer on this site than mine, so maybe your just been a little biased because its me
and lets face it we do not see eye to eye do we!
You are the one who likes to pull me up on my facts and so that makes you opinionated as usual.
If you do not like what you read then jog on - simples!

[QUOTE] [b]gerry wrote:[/b]There is worse grammer on this site than mine, [/QUOTE]yes but it's usually by people whose native language isn't English - most of those articulate themselves infinitely better than you do. btw - for the tenth time its grammAr, Mr Journalist.

[QUOTE] [b]gerry wrote:[/b]You are the one who likes to pull me up on my facts and so that makes you opinionated as usual.[/QUOTE] but YOUR facts aren't very often ACTUAL FACTS...and that's the whole point. why should ANYONE get away with spouting something as "fact" when it's clearly untrue/inaccurate/rubbish? - while YOU continue to do so, I and others here will continue to put you right. it's wrong that people who don't know better (yourself included) should be allowed to be misled, misguided and generally hoodwinked into believing some of these perpetuated myths could be anything other than complete bollocks.

[QUOTE] [b]gerry wrote:[/b] If you do not like what you read then jog on - simples![/QUOTE] no i won't. see above. where do YOU get off on dictating that people should turn a blind eye to the rubbish you spout. it'd be unfair on fans who want to learn the truth about queen history - if your "urban myth" were allowed to be passed off as truth. if some people here didn't put YOU right, how long would it be before your rubbish is accepted as "fact" ?

It's reviled for several different reasons... too much synth for rock fans (and no guitar to 'save' it), too risqué to appeal as bubblegum pop, too lightweight to be edgy, thematically kind of pointless... it just didn't (doesn't) tick any boxes. It's not the worst song in the world, but it has nothing in particular going for it.

Brenski: All your rubbish is accepted as fact and you come across as though you are god or something on this site,
you clearly are very prejudiced against me if i make the odd spelling mistake( just like we all do) as were all rushing to type whats in our heads so we can get it down quickly. oh and by the way YOU are the one who dictates sunshine, so please get off your high horse before you break your fuckin neck.

Interesting... "Get down, make love" seems to be a bit similar regarding the "promiscuity" subject. But it wasn't a single, hence it didn't get too much publicity despite being played live a lot. If BL wasn't a single it wouldn't be that hated, I guess. But BL could have been a little bit more "adjusted", it's too silly (music and words) at points instead of being just "offensive" or "disgusting". It's more actually embarassing than anything and it's the weakest song in the album.

As some have said, Hot Space isn't that bad as a whole, it's just unexpected.

Yes your right, Hot Space is not a bad album but doe have a few weak songs but the songs do have good melody to them though.
"Put out the fire" "Dancer" "Back chat" much better to me than anything on " Made in Heaven album.
Freddie was having fun on "Hot Space" and thats a freddie worth remembering!
