And I don't know if I am the only one but behind the line 'don't drown on me babe' I have always heard a descending double bass low down in the mix?
the most stupid retarded song Queen ever did.
The song's got good intentions but it really lacks the depth that other songs on the album and prevents The Game from being their top 80's album
It's ok. A bit of fun. Would probably have cut the second verse out and gone straight into the 'You need help!' section out of the first chorus.
2nd only to Man On The Prowl and Cool Cat for the category of Queen's worst song, but then there's Loser In The End, but then they'll all be someone's favourite it's a subjective world.
Loosen up people it's just a pop song with a loose acoustic feel why does it need to have depth? And by the way WTF is wrong with Loser in the End?
Never understood the hate for Man On The Prowl or Don't Try Suicide, given how successful they were with something similar in genre with Crazy Little Thing Called Love. The drum sound is fabulous for a change.
But "Suicide" is up there as a roundly public service announcement with Let Your Heart Rule Your Head.
Funny that Brian was feeling pretty mad and alone at that times in Munich, wrote 'Save Me' and 'Dragon Attack' and Freddie writes 'Don't Try Suicide' :)
Moog, it's an acoustic guitar playing under the vocal. It's a bluesy mirror using. F - F - G - D.......... B...B - C - C# - D. Ching........
Don't drown on me babe.
I've edited this post from a joke to just say 'good thread'.
It's decent, but one of the weaker tunes on Queens best 80's album. Loser in the end Sucks! Doesn't fit in with the greatness of Queen 2. I know It's all subjective.
