Too Much Love Will Kill You

Ok so is it Brian's version or Queen's version that does it for you? Mine is Brian's because I think he puts more into it. Maybe it means more to him. And I like the arrangement better on his version.

I also like Brian`s version better. Its one of the few songs were Freddie`s voice doesn`t really fit.

Freddie`s is "too" professional for the tune of the song imo. It`s like putting a semi-quaver sweep picking fast scale as intro to CLTCL, sometimes less is more.

And the guitarsolo in the Queen version sucks!

I love his voice in the song - but it ain't right. Needs a more delicate touch. How can I put this... the lyrics and the roughness of his voice seem a bit mismatched. I dunno.

Brian- his verion is subtle
Queen's is a bit corny, I don't know... Too nice, too melodramatic, to smooth...

Brian has the agonising sound in his voice as though he deeply believes that too much love will kill you.

I feel so alone liking the Queen version...

Peace,

Can't decide between the two... although would have loved a live version by Freddie.

Don't feel alone, I like it better, too.
I like Brian's as well,
but the power in the Queen version is fantastic.
I can see how some think it is "inappropriate", though.

I like them both but it's true, Brian puts more heart in it. But he doesn't use his voice right...

The Queen version is better, it's a modern song, with a rock arrangement. Brian's version is just more personal.And Freddie is not "too profesional" he has just a powerful and better voice.

Adam you're not alone ;)

Both are great but Queen's version really does it for me

I like Brian's version but it's Freddie singing it that does it for me. His voice is more powerful and when it comes to the higher notes Freddie could do it better than Brian. It's one of my favourite songs anyway and Brian singing it is really beautiful but Freddie's version almost gives me chills..

Definitly Queen's version.
It has "the" Queen sound.
Freddie in all his vocal glory , Brian keeps it cool and not too many guitar overdubs , John and Roger - perfect rhythem section!
And there you have it!
