Should Queen "fragments" be turned into Queen songs?

"Taylor: There is also another version of the Jackson duet. A better, but we were not allowed to publish. The will be set on a new Jackson album."

If I understood this correct, the "Queen mix" version of TMBMTLTT will be released on the next Jackson album ?[/QUOTE]

No I do not believe that MJs album will include TMBMTLTT. That was Freddie's song.

There were three songs recorded by Freddie a.nd MJ - TMBMTLTT, "Victory" and "State of Shock". That later two were not Queen songs but written by Michael Jackson. (SOS was written by MJ and Randy Hansen.)

Based on what I have read on the MJ sites, there will be a Michael Jackson-Freddie Mercury duet on a future Michael Jackson release using just Freddie's vocal -- "Victory" which Queen never recorded, but Freddie did record as a duet with Michael Jackson. It was Michael Jackson's song. As was the third song from the MJ-Freddie sessions - "State of Shock" which was released in 1984 with Mick Jagger and MJ on vocals.

Oddly, The Jacksons 1984 album was call "Victory" but the title track never made the album. They are supposed to have recorded it.

"Darling" = gay fan appreciation.


Gotta say though. ... the LMIYHA corporate cola mix isn't bad.


However the TMBMTLTT mix is practically HORRIBLE.

I doubt it has its origins in displacing mercury. .. I think it's the result of being left to an under talented person.


The song would and COULD HAVE garnered attention had the mix been great and appropriate.


Seeing how bad it was I don't think anybody would care to even remember the shitty mix. At this point since they list the opportunity of claiming a NEW UNRELEASED QUEEN track they REALLY missed the mark. .


A waste of effort. The song could have been hyped. Particularly the queen + Mj track. I'm guessing a bunch of untalented hacks who've inherited their position through nepotism had decided upon the William Orbit release and left it that way.


It's pitiful coming from those incredibly talented guys.


What a piece of shit.


Fire your representative kinda shit.

They didn't even PROMOTE the time length between new songs. What a travesty. The work resulting was a piece of half assed crap.

My dear Matt

Im a father of two and have a happy relationship with a Woman......I dont know how much you know about the legend of Freddie Mercury but he used the word darling very often so I like that word too. U triple cunt u.Tada u little tart..

More homophobia? Really?

"Be great to see a demo collection of some kind. "

For as long as Brian May is alive this will never happen. He wants everything released to be just so and a demo is never gonna be that.

Yeah. I deserve that. Any unusual displays of acrimonious verbiage, usually means I'm out of my gourd.

But. I stand by my position that the orbit bit is truly awful. Particularly when advanced as a NEW release.

I think there is another reason TMBMTLTT is a bit half-arsed. That is it seems to have been made to give Jacko a fair share of the recording time. It seems to play the first bit of the song which Jacko is on and then repeats his bit. The track has also been done as a guitar track rather than a piano track, so I reckon that is supposed to attract existing Queens to Brian's guitar playing.

So I see why some people can't take this version, part of the reason being it's only a small part of the original song. But I don't mind the fact that they changed the core instrument over as I think Brian's efforts are definitely worthwhile.

Stop dreaming of a new Queen Album, will never happen. [/QUOTE]

never say never.

Never say neeeeeverr say NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEEEER

waiting for "Made In Heaven 2"....as Brian told at some point last year.

given Artists Formerly Known as Queen release Queen's live material from the Archives once every 10 years, we can safely assume that one would have to start traveling at the speed of light for a couple million of years before returning to Earth and seeing new studio album made from 'fragments'. Brian thinks in cosmic terms, you mortals.
