Pain Is So Close To Pleasure...

I will upload the MP3's tonight or tomorrow, depending...But the server I am using has limited bandwidth just to let you guys know (It's going to be on Angelfire Lycos)

Having just read that Deacy interview the penny drops: Pain is So Close to Pleasure = Diana Ross Chain Reaction. Deaky, you thieving git! :)

How is Stealin' shite? It's just a jam, not a full song. It's really cool for what it is.

And Bicycle Race? Just...no...

the blinc noise is the sound of May's guitar. its some sort of following the melody guitar filler and its more evident on the other two notes following .My guess is they did not payed much attention in the mix.
As for Dont Loose Your Head, it definitively has my vote. Its not pretending to be a great composition. Just a great use of sounds and rhythm. Super-atmospheric synth chords, a wonderful drum machine programming and Freddie's power vocals are just enough to make it shine without asking for that much more. Its also great while driving, as you already know !

err.. yeah anyway, does anyone else think Pain is So Close to Pleasure sounds like Diana Ross's Chain Reaction ?

Absolutely, yes. There's no denying a lotta motown goin on with it.

Pain is so Close to Pleasure is in my bottom five Queen songs!
Whereas I really like Don't Lose Your Head. I think it fits in really well with the other two rockers near it on the album > Gimme The Prize and Princes of the Universe. In fact, I like the rockers off AKOM whereas the soft ones (One Year of Love and Pain is so Close to Pleasure) are a bit sub par in my opinion.

On The Works, it was the melodic stuff (Hard Life, Passing the Open Windows. GaGa, Machines, I Want to Break Free. Is This The World We Created) which are easily my favourites. Tear It Up is very average for a Queen rocker in my opinion and Hammer to Fall is OK, but wouldn't be in my top 6 off that album either.

More interesting to me is the bum note played on keyboards around 01:32...Every time I listen to this song ,this note is becoming louder and louder...Just like the squeaky bass drum pedal in Since I've Been Loving You from Led Zeppelin...

the album version is very strange, the single remix makes new life, a nd it is the definitive version of the song

"Just like the squeaky bass drum pedal in Since I've Been Loving You from Led Zeppelin"

Except that's in an actual good song, and it's awesome.

Yes it is indeed. Are you implying that Pain ... is not good?

Yup.

My Penis Is To Short For Pleasure.....
