I also heard (I guess I read it on QueenPictureHall) "Hang on on there" emerged from "Falling out", and that the riff from HOIT was meant to be the outro of IGWFO - thats why it's on the end of that demo, so perhaps no fan mix ? They seem to have preferred to complete HOIT. Can anyone confirm that ?

Didn't IGWFO also have the same bass line as My Baby Does Me? So interesting that all these songs kinda came from similar roots. Bit like the intro to Breakthru being tacked on from another unused song.
I find this stuff so fascinating. I'd love Brian, Roger and John to sit down and give a complete analysis of the albums etc and go through stuff like this. THAT would be a DVD worth its weight in gold!

Interesting song, The solo is very similar to 'Gimme The Prize'! I think thats the one, I'm not very well so I'm a bit thick today...
They should have kept it in The Miracle!

I'd say the shorter version is better.. if U cut off that chaotic medley in between..
Regor, it's a fan mix because a fan has taken those elements of the demo and edited them. Basically mixed things up a bit. Which brings me to the next point - The demo floating around is part of a medley of songs, e.g. Breakthru (Intro demo), My Baby Loves Me, I Guess We're Falling Out, Hang On In There.
IGWFO only started with the beat left by "My Baby Loves Me." It didn't have the same bass line.
They appear that way because of the medley demo. That is their only relation to each other in this instance.
Peace,
Adam.

I haven't heard this remix. What i meant was that they moved things around etc. Would be interesting to hear if there were any other instances of this. i know of the Breakthru intro from the 1989 Mike Read interview they gave.
Adam, just listened to IGWFO again, and yes I see that it is the beat, not the bass line. Apologies. I wonder which came first? IGWFO or MBDM? I would suggest IGWFO came first, it wasn't finished so (John i think) "nicked" it for MBDM?
This kind of stuff is what I find interesting and why I'd be fascinated by an analysis by the three of them.
this is a very bad mix I must say. The known version is followed by Hang On In There and this bloke mixed a middle part of IGWFO to the end plus the end of Hammer To Fall. Very bad
Oberon, you've totally missed Adam's point and are still getting the wrong end of the stick unfortunately.
Basically what happened is this.
Queen recorded demo versions for all/most of the songs that ended up on The Miracle, and at some point decided to splice these demo versions together into one long medley.
This demo-medley somehow got leaked, and the indiviual songs were separated into individual tracks. As all the music was originally part of one long cohesive edited-together medley, some of the separated tracks now have bits of other songs tacked onto the beginning or end of them.
Therefore the percussion/drum track that you now hear at the start of IGWFO never had anything to do with that song. It simply appears there because Queen evidently decided to segue the outro of MBDM into the intro of IGWFO when they compiled the demo medley.
The fact that the drum/percussion track is integral to MBDM, and appears throughout it whilst only appearing in the first few bars of IGWFO should be evidence enough of the fact that it obviously originates from MBDM.

But the added Hammer to Fall drum at the end of the "mix" is just horrible...
I kinda like this edit but I agree the HTF ending is cheesy :)
it may be a cheesy ending, but i think most of you are missing the point -- it's a fanmix, not a fake. someone was having fun with it, not trying to pass it off as a complete take of the song. i myself have used the HTF ending for a couple of my own mixes, just to have some fun with it. i don't see it as any better or worse than Queen themselves tossing Freddie saying, "...It's Magic!" into IWBTLY. i, personally, have had quite a bit of success, and fun, blending elements from other songs together. (i'll have to post my "New Life Is Born/Lily of the Valley" on Stage of Champions -- anyone going to have issues with fanmixes appearing there? because i can't sing for shit, and can't play anything other than drums...so it's ither fanmixes, or i can record and post (poor sounding) drumtracks of various songs)
I like this mix. The editing could be a bit better near the end. I like the HTF ending as well.
For Miracle demos, I only have IGWFO, as well as the 1-minute demos of IWIA, TIM, Miracle, and Scandal. This is the first time I have heard anything from the Fiddly Jam demo ("Hang On In There") more than a few seconds' worth of the beginning.
Btw. does anyone have any of the other Miracle demos? I know Mariano Bryner had a demo of Hijack My Heart, which I really want (but shame the bugger went out of trading business)

The only Miracle demo's available to us at this moment are the tracks from the demo medley (Falling Out / IWIA / HOIT jam / Chinese Torture / New Life / Baby Loves Me) and the 1 minute demo's. Then there's stuff like Dog With A Bone and TMLWKY. There's also an audience recording of the Hijack My Heart demo, recorded at one of the Queenconventions. That's it I think, though I'm sure there are some people with more stuff :)
Well, at least for once you're being serious, RIGHT Pimmy?

I think that fan mix can't appear on the Stage of Champions. You have to sing and play the instruments.
