What would a new Queen Album be like?

I would say they would be just a touring band, clocking $1,000 a seat, and throwing a great show or even better. I doubt Freddie would bother to get creative. I think he would prefer to clip the coupons and entertain the audience, rather than spend time in the studio. [/QUOTE]

It's fairly impossible to say what Freddie would've done in the last 24 years if he'd been alive (and that's me reassessing what I said earlier too - although not so much when it comes to Brian and Roger).

I "got" the OP'S criteria but completely dismiss it as extremely far fetched nonsense. ... something a 9 year old would postulate (ignoring the painful death)


But if you insist.

Queen - they'd have released four albums since 1991's miraculous recovery of Freddie Mercury (I've always postulated this was A REASON for the song/album title back then...

I don't know what any of those albums would've been called either.

The duets with Michael might have been finished although it seemed the band preferred to stay distant from him.

Let's see. .. 2015 QUEEN : LEGACY

Features:

A dance song duet with Lady Gaga in an attempt to resurrect HER career after that artpop piece of shit (* I won't even acronym it the album sucks. Moreso than her older shit and occasional hits)

A song to be featured on the next JAMES BOND FILM (orchestra supplied by exorbitant costs incurred in bond films)

1 acoustic song
1 John Deacon song that can either be interpreted as a break up song/song for independence or as a song of dissent and distrust in the band
2 Brian May rockers with patched synth industrial like stuff
1 Brian May anthem that gets overlooked due to the 007 song
4 songs from Freddie : one almost afro Cuban, one powerful,one breezy lounge "harry connick jr" style and one horribly bad attempt at a dance track

Of course the album titles will be credited to QUEEN. ..

There may have been an original montage done with an original theme for TED 2. Possibly a joke about Freddie and a lavish suite



Getting far fetched enough? [/QUOTE]

Nice ideas. I dig this. Also i love the part that says a Brian May anthem that will get overlooked due to the 007 song! hahaha!

THIS !

Not sure if it fits here, but...

Anybody remember some detail about a song called "The Red Queen (As It Ends)".

I have a vague memory about it, but maybe i read it was intended to be in the album with Paul Rodgers?

I am imagine things or it was an hoax after all?

Compared to the other albums, I think it would have reminded us most about Hot Space - well produced party tracks (if no AIDS and such were involved).

I would personally imagine the songs being a more modern ballad style.

Ok you are all gonna hate me for this ! I don't think it would have been a million miles away from the Cosmos Rocks, Brian & Rog have lost their mojo ! Brian is no longer an innovator, his playing is very derivative ! Got the feeling John would still write a decent ballad, and Freddie...... who knows ! He always had his finger on the pulse of what was happening, but don't think he ever would have had another Boh Rhap in him ! But......we'll never know sadly.

Who knows... I think we lost Freddie at one of the band's creative peaks, even though the rise in creativity might have actually stemmed from his disease. I do think they did find some sort of a well-balanced, interesting sound on the 89-91 tracks (e.g. Don't Try So Hard and Mother Love). Very hard to answer the question though, as the thing which makes artists great is being hard to predict. And I do think Queen were one of these great artists. I'm pretty sure they would have surprised us a few more times had Freddie never got ill or even more so - made it through the illness. Pretty sure he would turn it to his advantage eventually.

Innuendo showed an amazing maturity in the band they had never quite achieved. "If" Freddie lived and "If" the tracks on Innuendo were in no way influenced by his inevitable demise and "If" Made in Heaven never happened - I think John would continue to come up with an unpredictable worldwide hit every few years. There would probably be a band hiatus for solo projects. Surely they would have reached arena tour burn out at some point and returned to the studio to make something far more subtle with minimal studio wizardry (along the lines of NOTW). Like a lot of their peers, tours and albums would have become fewer and farther between - but as others mentioned, soundtrack - particularly an 007 theme - work would probably continue - as well as musical explorations with (also previously mentioned) calypso, perhaps jazz and - inevitably at some point, rap. Personally I always wanted to hear them return to prog rock epics - a Queen III so to speak. I honestly thought the work with Rodgers would produce some instant rock classics, but no dice. What I wouldn't give to hear Freddie duet with someone like Lourde!

6. Probably not. But MIH wouldn't be there at all if Freddie was still around.[/QUOTE]

Neither Made In Heaven, The Miracle, Innuendo and some parts of Barcelona and A Kind Of Magic would exist in the same way as they are (or wouldn't even exist) as some Roger songs. And Headlong would be in Back To The Light, if it gets released.

As cruel as it sounds, Freddie's illness and death was a great influence in everyone's musical career. Without it, their music could be more different and maybe boring.

And, following the tendency of his past albums, it would be called as the greatest song of that album, or as the main single - A Kind Of Magic, Barcelona, The Miracle, Innuendo, maybe The Game, Made In Heaven, etc.

I would Imagine it being closest to Made In Heaven. lots of very soulful and powerful songs.

Do you mean they'd be revisiting old music solo songs and demoes to complete an album with only 3 new songs?
