I was Just listening too this little tune on youtube....Not a bad song, I like the vocals from both of them. The song never gets mentioned so always passed on it, but I actually like it. Another song outside of Queen I like From Freddie. I like his solo stuff. Even though Mr. BAD Guy was a weak album, it had some good songs as well. Now the haters will come after me... Tell me how horrible the song is haters! VH?

A good start for a new topic ...

But It's ok for certain people to start a thread about other members? Starting a thread Happystarr was clearly ok? Anyway, stay on topic....do you think it's a decent tune or no? I think it went top 10 in Germany.

You could have ignored my post, but instead put the focus on the overblown feud ... anyway, I will answer both of your questions:

It is "clearly ok" to start a thread about a certain person who derailed the ABBA topic (and other topics) with his abusive unrelated rants (finally thankfully deleted) about the current lead singer of Queen.

"Baby this song is something" (tolerable), but I think this song is too long and repetitive, and it might have been better to "Hold On" 'and fade out the song during the guitar solo.

Never heard it or of it. Probably won't bother either.

And can the children present please stop with the petty digs at each other.

Grow up.

A nice little song that would've been right at home on AKOM. Gets a bit shouty towards the end but has enough little bits to keep it interesting.

It's on his 10CD/2DVD Solo Collection (2000). I've only listened to it a couple of times. It's okay but it's not a song i will listen to daily.

It is repetitive, but the chorus is catchy....It would have been nice on Magic. Better than pain and pleasure.

Nothing special but nice song.

I agree!

"Hold on" by Joe Dare & Freddie Mercury was a great song were Freddie exercised his vocals to great extent. Although the single was more popular in Germany and over the UK it never got released.
I liked Freddie's other stuff like "Time" & "In my defence"
M
I agree.....I actually like most of his work outside of Queen...yea, Bad Guy didn't work out but like you said, Great Pretender, Time, In My Defense...Barcelona, even hold On was decent. Obviously " Queen were better together", but to say Freddie recorded all crap outside of Queen in my view is false. His vocals on "everyone Of Us" is one of his best with cliff Richard.
S
Mike: Yeah it is such a shame Freddie & Cliff were not captured on record as this was a very important collaboration in my opinion.
I really wish Freddie had recorded with Paul McCartney back in the 80s because i admire Paul a lot and his band "Wings" were superb.

I like the song but I talked to Jo before and she is strange.

She's active on youtube.....she actually commented on the video talking about her experience with Freddie and how they met. You should check that out...she has nothing but good things to say about Freddie. They met In Munich, she was working on songs in the studio when Freddie walked In. They became good friends.
