QUIZ :))

"It`s a Beautiful Day" definitely doesn`t have any backing vocals. And "I`m Going Slightly Mad" is also in 100% sung by Freddie.

'I Want To Break Free" ahs got chorus in the part "god knows"

Slightly Mad has some 'oooh ooohs' though, even if it's Freddie it's background.. they're still in the karaoke mix too :-P I consider that more of a background vocal than a double-tracked vocal saying the same thing as the lead, such as with Break Free... but I dunno :)

I ain't listened to the song in a while, but what about 'Nevermore'? I don't think that had backing vocals...

Nevermore has backing vocals....

My Melancholy Blues has no backing vocals...

love of my life i would think ! and lap of the gods the original one may be ?!?

I Want To Break Free has none. I think there are several actually.

Actually during the "God knows" Roger is backing him up.

hi folks
here`s King Mercury to answer this question
i`ve think about it a little while and i guess AOBTD have no background vocals
Maybe i`m wrong, but it`s hard to find a queen song with no background vocals...this is a good topic!
There can be another song with no BGVs..."is this the world we created"
i think there are more songs whit no BGVs

How about Life is Real? Any backing vocals on there? (I'm trying to play it through in my head- and God knows that doesn't account for much!)

I was thinking about this quiz, while I was taking a shower this morning and I think that: "Too Much Love Will Kill You", "My Life Has Been Saved", "Under Pressure", "Cool Cat", "Misfire", "She Makes Me" have none.

As for "Is This The World We Created" I don`t treat it as a Queen`s song (just as a duet of Freddie & Brian released on the Queen album) and yes - now you can kill me

"Too Much Love Will Kill You" and "Under Pressure" DO have backing vocals (it's harder to hear UP's but Roger's voice is singing with Freddie and David at the very end and only there).

AOBTD has smaller phrases too (kind of like a B3 or something), as does the reprise of "It's a Beautiful Day".

Almost forgot.

The studio version of "Love of my Life" has TONS of backing vocals.

Is there a Queen song without Brian playing or singing anything? Hoo, next one :)

Yes, there is. Seaside Rendezvous and Nevermore for example.

Dear Friends?

Brian played piano on Dear Friends...

One Year Of Love is Fredie, John, Roger and Steve Gregory. Brian wasn't in the studio then.

What about Good Company? I'm fairly sure that has no backing vocals, but I could be wrong...
