Love Kills - the ballad (released as a single on Spotify)

"Love Kills - the ballad" has been released as a single on Spotify, and I listened to it for the first time last night. I think the Metropolis-version is good, so I have to say the ballad-version was quite boring and unnecessary, but at least they tried to give us something "new."

I prefer the Metropolis version too, but I think the new one has its merit. Some decent guitar stuff from Brian on the later choruses, and we get to hear Freddie's vocal a bit more clearly.

There's no denying that this one SOUNDS more like a Queen song, though the original is arguably more so a Queen song, in that it was recorded by all 4 during the band's original run. It's just, sound wise, much more in the vein of Radio Ga Ga than traditional Queen.

Ekk... I am still hoping they will go ahead with Let Me In as a proper single. Love Kills is not bad, but it's been remixed and rehashed so many times, people might get tired of it... Anyway, just my two cents.

It's a nice mix and on spotify we can hear much more detail as compared to the BBC2 Chris Evans show. I too prefer Freddie's original version but this mix as Roger said brings some fresh air....
Wait... why the hell they lowered Freddie's vocal at the end of the song ? In the radio broadcast it is clearly audible and its volume level is equal to Freddie's vocals throughout the song.... strange...

There is only one version of Love Kills, which I REALLY like - the Rock mix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RS2qWHFw0c

I dislike the rock mix for one reason - the guitar playing in it is pretty bad. I would've liked it a lot more if it hadn't of been for that :(

I don't like that sound, it's really cold, light years away from the warm tone of Brian May

The Wolf Euro Mix is pretty good, IMHO.

What is the provenance of The Rock Mix? I like it but obviously the audience roar is fake. Was Freddie alive or aware of it being made?

No, according to the Solo Collection notes, it was made in 1992 by Carl Ward and Colin Peters of Brothers and John Becker and Ray Burdis of Fugitive Music...
Johnny Bivouac on guitar...

it´s a good mix, but the original better for me is much better

I agree. The original version is way better. And i think is better they release LMIYHA as a single. It's make more sense too me

Yes, I would say this is the superior rock version of the track.

From the first bars you can tell it's a Queen song. There's no doubting that it's the best choice as the single, I believe.
