This is for all of you who ask (stupid) questions about Let Me Live.

They could have recorded the song for the first time in 1976, returned to it in 1983 and even recorded one more version in 1991. Have those of you who say "but Freddie's voice doesn't sound like it did in the 70s at all" even thought about this possibility. C'mon! Use your brains!
Not those are losers who fall, but those who don't stand up.

Please read comments closer before you call me stupid or tell me to use my brain, Whisperer.

I asked "Was the track then re-worked, specifically by Freddie, at some later point?"
and then followed it up with this comment: "Is there a story to the evolution to Let Me Live that we haven't learned yet?" I was asking, in terms most people seemed to have understood, if the LML version from 1995 featured early 1980s vocals (or later) even though a 70s version might have existed. It's a way to get an answer without compromising someone's info.

It's bleeding obvious what you said is probably the case, yet we have no firm details over what happened. If you have evidence as to how this happened rather than speculation, please share, Whisperer (though sharing is a foreign concept to you, I hear).
DJ's the man we love the most

I'm not of one these guys who you wrote this, but I'm not sure that there was a longtime history of recording Let Me Live through the years!

And c'mon guys "if it's not proved - don't judge!" - Brian stole See What A Fool I've Been, Queen stole Let Me Live, Freddie stole Life Is Real etc. What for? 'Under Pressure' was written by them and Bowie and no-one says "It's Queen song, who the hell is Bowie?! We don't know him! He's liar!"

The Cross had song called 'Tear It Up' (later changed to 'Bad Attitude'), but no-one thought they stole Brian's one. Rod could have demo, title or whatever, but it's says nothing. Or it would be seems as Queen wrote by themselves only one song: "Stealin'" ;)

You people, iy doesn´t matter who wrote the song. Even though bowie is a great artist he could never be compared to the genius of Freddie Mercury. So cut the crap and focus in enjoying a real piece of art

Uh, thanks for settling that nine-month argument then.
S
Lyrics can be (partly) Rod's IF that '76 version exists. But I doubt he composed the music. I don't even know if he could write music.
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.

serry, where did freddie steal life is real from?

Some John lennon song. I'm not a huge Beatles fan so I don't know which one. But i heard it on the plane once
"On the first day Pim & Niek created a heavenly occupation. Pim & Niek blessed it and named it 'Loosch'." (Genesis 1:1)

I read one article where one guy was trying to prove that Freddie stole everything for this song from one of Lennon's songs (''Lover'' as I remember).

This is for Lester: Was that a sarcasm? Bcause aparently the argument is still on. I may be crazy but I do not care about who is the real author of one song from queen. I guess i just know how to enjoy music and I do not like to question a dead person. If I were you(all the ones that are criticizing Freddie), I would reconsider my own actions.
If it wasn´t a sarcasm, sorry Lester but they just kept on with the argument.
Thanks

They kept on with the argument once you bumped the nine-month old thread that was already put to rest, perhaps thinking that it was a new thread.

To John S Stuart :

I think you forgot to mention "Teo Torriatte - High Definition Mix 2005" that you can find on the japanese "Jewels II" compilation.
