Innuendo BTT experience

Sebastian & Tom, re:

>>I'm happy to stand corrected if there's a single piece of evidence confirming they were planning to name the album that way.


Wasn't there a bootleg called "Another Miracle" that featured all of the B-sides and out-takes?

Dudeofqueen, a bootleg containing the B sides and outtakes, yes it may be outthere. I for one, never seen any kind of bootleg, but it would not surprise me at all.


Tom

I've always wanted to hear the isolated bass track of "I'm Going Slightly Mad"...Especially towards the end...Was that possible during the "Experience"?

Semi off topic, but does anyone have any idea when Brian's bits of TATDOOL were shot? I know the main parts were filmed on May 30th but I've never seen any info on the added bits.

For all your Queen questions, Sebastian know everything (at least he thinks)

Statistically speaking, he knows everything. However, his seldom errors are delivered with the same superior confidence as his truths, which makes him unpleasant sometimes.

Heil Frederick.

Sebastian does know very, very much. But his most prolific quality is to engage in critical and rational thinking on a higher level than most people. He's also very polite and tries to look at most things logically. When others debate about something we don't know that much about, he is usually the one to point out exactly what we do and don't know and why. Lots of times he even provides a rational deduction process so everyone can understand how to get to the best conclusion about the subject.
So not only does he provide us with a lot of accurate information regarding Queen, he is also one of those people you can learn from just by observing how he does things. His decade long presence on both Queen forums has only enriched the Queen community. He is a great example of a fine human being who teaches with his information, and with his way of doing things / looking at things. His being here helps people in their development of Queen knowledge and in their personal development of rational / critical thought simply by providing the example of himself. Simply put he is a very positive force on the internet.
At least, that has been my experience, reading both forums for over a decade even though I don't post that much as you can see by my post count.

You Bertus, have a long, long, long way to go if you ever wanna be as good as Sebastian is in life. You have a very nasty attitude problem and don't seem to think a lot in general. Completely the opposite of Sebastian.

Moreover, I've admitted many times that I do not know everything. I know very, very, very few things compared to everything there is to know. In fact, a few weeks ago, I pointed out I was wrong about 'Africa by Night' and thanked the person who corrected me.

There are more than a few of us who are grateful for the knowledge that you and so many others share with us here. We just don't always chime in to the conversations. The work and effort is appreciated.....trust me.

Stick..

I gave €1500,00 next month year for Cancer research and you?

Last year €2000,00 for Childern Hospital.


So stop sucking Sebastian, in the Netherlands we find him very annoying.

Nee Bertus, in Nederland vinden we hem een zeer slim en alom gerespecteerd persoon. Een type als jij dat meent anderen in ons land te vertegenwoordigen? Laat me niet lachen man. Je bent een idioot van het zuiverste ras. Wat jij kunt vertegenwoordigen kun je denk ik nog het beste vinden in de grootste tokkie wijken van Rotterdam.
Wat geef ik om niet bewezen gelul over donaties aan goede doelen? De meeste mensen doen het om hun geweten af te kopen en jij lijkt me daar een prima kandidaat voor. Je hebt namelijk ook nogal wat om af te kopen als je kijkt naar hoe je je hier gedraagt. Flikker die kinderlijke blik van je het raam uit, ga voor de spiegel staan, en vraag je eens oprecht af waarom men zo vaak commentaar heeft op je uitingen. Tip: het ligt niet aan de rest van de wereld. Er zit geen schaamte in bekennen dat je nog op verschillende gebieden van jezelf verder door moet ontwikkelen om de rust in jezelf te krijgen voor een correcte en heldere blik op jezelf en anderen. Succes.

Is it in the present or in the past? You use 'gave' (past) but then 'next month' (future).

Even if that were true (there's no way to prove it wasn't), that wouldn't make your blatantly false claims any truer.

I'm fairly sure 99.99% of Dutch people don't know (and won't ever know) who I am. So maybe you and a couple of other people find me annoying. I can live with that. There's a difference, however, between 'We find him annoying' (nothing wrong with that) and 'he thinks he knows everything' (absolutely false), just like there's a difference between 'I prefer "Good Company" to "The Prophet's Song"' (nothing wrong with that, though many may disagree and that's also fine) and '"Good Company" is longer than "The Prophet's Song"' (it's not, and that's a black/white situation).

But Sebastian. If I believe that Good Company is longer than The Prophet's Song it is MY truth and I don't have to bring up any proof for that.

Also, it really offends me when you say Good Company isn't longer :(

Ps, I'm from The Netherlands and I don't find you annoying. In fact I'm setting up a Kickstarter to fund a 40 meters tall Papier-Maché statue of you.

Hi all,

Should we get back on topic? This was definitely one of the most interesting things Queen-related in the last few years.

Unfortunately I didn't take notes, but there are some things which have not been said here, and are probably worth mentioning.

I seem to recall the Innuendo sessions were Split in four:

• Session 1 in Montreux approx Nov-Dec 1989
• Session 2 in London approx Jan-March 1990
• Session 3 in Montreux approx May-Jun 1990
• Session 4 in London approx Aug-Nov 1990

Now, regarding each song we heard:

Innuendo

Amazing. Undescribable. We spent 2 hours with only this song. It seems the song was writeen and developed in three separate sections:

First, the main part of the song, which was a jam session with all four playing together. Freddie ad libbing some melody here and there. We heard a couple of takes of this section.

Second, there was the spanish section, mainly developed by Brian it seems. There was even a line sung by him singing ”let my heart go, where the wind blows, don’t take offence at my innuendo…” , so different lyrics there.
We then heard the main spanish guitars, with some runs by Brian and Steve.

And third, the "you can be anything you want to be..." section, which Freddie developed by taking a drum loop section of the spanish motif heavy guitar section, and on which on top he played piano, with a very spanish feel, singing the melody which was finally used with a Montserrat falsetto flavour style. Later on, the piano and drums were taken out and they orchestrated it. I asked and Justin said maybe Freddie and David were in charged of the orchestration.

We also heard a Roger sung version of Innuendo, with his self-written lyrics, which make the final cut, and noticeably one line was reversed, in which he sang:

“Till the mountains crumble into the plain - boy
While there's a wind and the stars and the rain”

Then this line was reversed, and included rainbow, instead of rain, and took out the word “boy”.

Hearing Roger sing this song was very nice, and he did a great job, but one of the main things I personally felt after hearing these 4 songs, is how much magic Freddie gave to the final versions.

Roger sang great, and it is the same song, but Freddie singing elevates the song somehwere else, and makes it magical.

I’m going slightly mad

I think we heard an extended version of the Mad Mix version with lots of strange noises going on. Not much to say here to what has aready been said.

These are the days of our lives

Again, we heard Roger singing the song. And it was very similar to the final arrangement, but the chorus felt a bit awkward, some different chords in the “these are the days of our lives” line, and the backing vocals, possibly by Brian, felt like it was too much singing there. Difficult to explain, but the music in the chorus was a bit different, and the way it was sung changed the feeling of the song a bit.

The solo was only half of what we hear today, only the first part was there.

The Show Must Go On

Another highlight of the afternoon. First thing we heard started with a drum machine, and everything on top of that, with Freddie singing.

Then we heard a complete Brian sung version. He sings it exactly as the final version, but again, like I said before, then Freddie comes in and does his job, and wow!

We were shown some guitar overdubs which were nothing short of amazing. A LOT of guitars in there. Lots of things going on in the background.

Unfortunately we were rushed through the last 3 songs, because we were short of time, but I can tell you it was incredibly insightful.

Well, that’s it I guess. If anybody wants to add/correct/ask anything on top of what I said above, go ahead.
I hope you enjoy it!
