Dear Zoners,

on some Beatles pages I read about the anomalies in Beatles songs. Now I wonder if you found anomalies in Queen songs.
For example, on Bring back that Leroy Brown there are two snare drums used. That's one I found. Errors and glitches count as anomalies, too.
I would be very happy to read some of those you discovered.

Thank you,
Juls

yeeees, I know, but that's not enough :) I meant anomalies, not just errors and glitches.

thanks, yes, I know that too, that'S about metric anomalies. I thought of the anomalies like f.e. the cowbell on Night comes down changes its pitch after 3 bars. Or the tape phaser effect on Liars drum intro.
But thank you anyway for your help!

John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

this one is the closest to the Beatles "what goes on" list of anomalies:

you can add your finds to it.

Death On Two Legs may also have a short overdubbed bass lick at ... can't remember where.
oh yeah, that's it! exactly what i was looking for! I love this Queen site, but unfortunately sometimes I don't find what I am looking for, because it is really one of the most informative sites, with a lot of input. Thank you all for your help!
