Ha! Biggest ignorant lie you have told this week.

Is this seriously a Queen fan site or did I accidentally stumble onto Queen hate forum

It's been a hate site pretty well since day one, once trolls living in their mothers' basements realized it was unmoderated and that they could get away with spewing vile at every opportunity.

This forum model (equating moderation with censorship) was started with the best of intentions, but it's completely infeasible in 2019. Pretty much every forum would look like this if there weren't moderators providing checks and balances to maintain some semblance of civility amidst disagreement. And since the arseholes of the world don't have many places to go to, as soon as a place like this becomes known they stick to it like glue. Which is why most of the best contributors to the site from years past are long gone.


As per the original post - Brian May pulling up a copy of the 24 track master of BoRhap in Pro Tools is a beautiful thing to watch.

He's old. He may not be around in a decade. So if anyone is actually a fan of Queen, this is the stuff to cherish.

Exactly. He was just looking at it in response to a fans question about a rest on the first beat of the opening. They may all be gone before we know it.

Since plenty of us have access to the same source Brian does, I had a listen. Boosted the relevant lines a couple of times, but obviously couldn't get the piano down. Track 11 was slightly clearer than track 10, but I couldn't actually be confident that the first two lines were unchanged to the final version. Line three sounded like "is this a feeling" although I suspect my brain was autocompleting the first two words". For line four the piano was too loud for my ears to establish anything other than a hint of there being vocals.

I imagine that it would be very difficult to come up with a filter that reduced the piano to further isolate the vocal line, and if Brian wants to know, he has better tools than I do with which to find out.

What is (hopefully) good about this is that it's likely to trigger a bunch of follow up questions about multitracks that at least gets the subject back in to his mind.
