Things in songs you recently discovered

Was listening to You Don't Fool Me a few days ago, and I noticed some tomtom sounds (rototoms maybe?) during Brian's guitar solo.

Other examples?

Did you discover that just now?

I'm not bashing you, don't get me wrong :P

Have anyone noticed that in The Invisible Man where Freddie sings "And I'm on your back... dut don't look behind" Behind sounds like Bend?

I have a few that are mostly or only really audible with multitracks, but here goes anyway. Some are mistakes, some are cool bits, and some are just general rarities.

It's A Hard Life - The "yeah yeah" before the first chorus cuts off too soon:
https://youtu.be/ugm9BMWx0c0?t=57 0:57

The Show Must Go On - The keyboards and guitars underneath "my soul is painted..." are fucking beautiful, linked individually:
https://youtu.be/nTkXav1a1Jw?t=168 2:48 (keyboards) - I also taught myself how to play this on the Korg M1. Beautiful part IMO.
https://youtu.be/xKh-Kwx3JWk?t=168 2:48 (guitars)

The Show Must Go On - "I'll soon be turning, 'round the corner now" - the "now" sounds like a different take spliced in:
https://youtu.be/rSvpdej2OlA?t=109 1:49

Long Away - During "Leave it for some hopeless lane" you can vaguely hear Brian's voice trail away from the harmonies, sounds really nice:
https://youtu.be/toq3Tvz9fYc?t=126 2:06

Ride the Wild Wind - In the lead up to the solo, there's some fast guitar playing as the second chorus concludes. Barely audible in the normal song, but it's at the top of the mix in the instrumental version:
https://youtu.be/-yN4PtL19ig?t=156 2:36

Was It All Worth It - The version in The eYe has different "ooo"s and bells in the intro:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgkfIn4XdKg

Was It All Worth It (studio version) - Awesome drum fill in the outro:
https://youtu.be/sEhYFnwTciQ?t=316 5:16

Scandal - I don't have an edited version on hand to link here, but turn it way up as it starts to fade out, the guitars get much heavier. No idea why this wasn't included in the song.

You and I - I noticed recently it seems to be a traditional 4 chord song, and the little guitar flourishes during the last chorus are great:
https://youtu.be/ir05RhMqpPI?t=146 2:26

Not really recently, but hearing c_matt's mix of Nevermore a couple years ago was quite revealing - Brian plays arpeggiated eighth notes on electric guitar in the climactic section, which are virtually inaudible in the Roy Thomas Baker mix.

I also recall he separated out different parts of '39, which revealed some cool vocal harmony lines which are buried on the record.

Cool thread!

Working on instrumental version of 'Was It All Worth It' for my project I noticed that the vocals+synth intro on album version edited in the middle by several seconds in comparison with remixed intro from 'the eYe' soundtrack.

OMG, I always thought the guitar in

was just some random sample, but it's actually from the song!

Don't I feel silly now :D

In No-One But You, in the final chorus (around 3m 40s), at the final "they're only flying too close to the sun", there's a lovely high harmony from Roger (and poss Bri) on "too close to the sun".

I got obsessed with it recently.

hahaha !! from day 1, dear Ale! I remember, back in the day when the album was released, sitting and reading the lyrics while listening and the first time I read this part I went like "but don´t look ...what??".

This one always makes me smile every time I listen to the song :-)

I wonder if that is made on purpose or due to the strange accent on Freddie jajaja
