scandal video

is it just me, or is it pretty shocking?

I watched it recently and I thought...hmmm, this strikes me as EMI telling queen, look, we spent loads of money getting you a train(breakthru), making loads of brian may's appear(invisible man), and training up junior versions of you(miracle), so we havent got alot left. we'll make something that says scandal and put it behind you, but the rest is up to you.

like when the couple come out those doors at the start, i assume its meant to be a hotel, its just some wooden doors on the same set!(you can see freddie and the boys in the background)

the costume department also seems to have been a bit flat

to be honest I dont know why im being so critical, its just normally queen were very inventive with videos, and it just seemed totally...uninventive

heh, that's true. It's pretty bland but I guess that's what they were aiming for.

Fred wears the same jacket he wore in the Invisible Man vid :P

:o i never noticed that!!!

I think it`s a cool video.But rest of their videos from that period is quit useless..

they could always improve the effects...lol

and put out an enchanched miracle

I didn't notice the video was crap because I love Scandal so much. With a better video the song may have been a bigger hit though

thats my point exactly. I love the song. (the extended mix is better though), but with the poor video, is it any wonder it only got to no.25? which led to its omission from greatest hits 2.

lol. there lies the true reason for my venom towards the video

I don't mind the video - I think the song makes up for it. If the song was crap, yes I might have critised the video...

If you watch 'It's a Hard Life' then 'Scandal', poverty makes up for excess.

I don't mind the video either. The song to me is absolutely excellent. I thought it would have got higher than no.25. Even though the Scandal video isn't that amazing it's one of my favorite videos.

Roger said that he thought they should have gone bigger w/ it, so you guys have a good point.

And about It's a Hard Life, I like that video. As Brian said, it shows the irony in Freddie's life.

In the It's A Hard Life video when you see Roger and John standing on the stairs it looks kinda as if there sulking or they just generaly don't look happy. Is there any reason for that or not? I've always sort of wondered about that.

listen to their commentary on GVH 1. They hated that particular video!
