These photos are great. Roger looks much slimmer and very dapper here.

Here's the MAIN photo of Queen's star! Yeah!

Martin....when you were out in Los Angeles, this is what I was hoping you would see. ( Though it's still great you saw the Duke's)

Here's Queen's Star!

The actual files used are:

Guitarist demo to show off what can be done with the Burns model. It's NOT an unreleased song. You can find it on either back issue or ebay.

The LTIO song is from the FM boxset and it's an acapella vocal without any backing.

The key of the two songs can be made to fit together with that above software I mentioned.

Peace,
Adam.

EDIT: They are similarly pitched. It's just, as has already been said, not the same key. They don't follow the same scale of notes and the person who made the edit ignored this.

What was wrong with my reply about used files?

Questions:

1) So is someone going to correct the pitch and correct this remix, and let us know so we can hear it?

2) Who did this original re-mix in the first place?

3) Music is my great love, but I don't play, read or write music, so it's difficult for me to understand this..but HOW does a person (as in this case whoever did the re-mix), ...

...KNOW that 2 different songs..can be sequenced and spliced together..and WORK, to sound like they were meant to be written as both the lyrics and the instrumental part of ONE song?

I might give it a try once I figure out that software I mentioned. We'll just have to wait and see...

Peace,
Adam.

Please do Adam.

This is one of the most interesting remixes I've ever heard. I love the guitar track and it fits really well with Freddie's lyric. Can't imagine how really, as they are just contrasting styles (maybe that's why). The pitch problems didn't bother me too much, but I would really like to hear it corrected.

It's an excellent idea, if I had the FM boxset I'd most certainly be doing stuff like this with the acapella tracks.

To answer the question: "how does one know if a song will fit with another?"

I don't have a diploma, but I play guitar every day so I know the important stuff (just none of the words for it).
Basically, a song will have a given key that it sticks to most of the time (I'm really generalising). The idea is to get two songs in the same key. For example, let's pick some Queen songs in D:
Don't Try Suicide, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, It's a Beautiful Day, Headlong, Fat Bottomed Girls.
These songs (ok, they're vastly different styles but bear with me) are based on basically the same chord.

I guess I was write, I can't explain this in words. But yeah.

Finally - I actually really don't like "Let's Turn it On". But his vocals are great (as usual) and it's great to hear them on a rockin' background instead of that poncy DEMO BUTTON instrumental.

An even better unreleased Brian track is 'Fat Bottomed Prize'. Terrific medley.

Great...Adam..please let us know if and when you do this.

I'd love to hear it.

Thanks! :)

Hey everybody,

I was a little alarmed a couple of weeks ago when Earthlink sent me an email saying that I had used up the allotted 1 Gig of traffic for my free website! (I usually get about 9 hits a month.) A google search led me here. I made the remix in 2001, put it up on the web and kinda forgot about it. I've read the discussions here and am in the process of correcting the key problem. (A harder problem then you'd think. You simply can't change Freddie's voice without him sounding like a chimpmunk.) I'll have the new version up by the weekend, hopefully.

Jon, Hi! I was the lucky lottery winner who found it (see my first post).

When you correct it, can you post it as a windows media version mp3 so I can listen to it. I don't have my own computer and the only way the pc I use will let me listen to it is on regular windows mp3 like it is on the link I posted in my first post. Thanks!

Just to clarify: Is "Sideburns" a Brian May track that was included just on the Guitarist magazine CD?

Has anyone posted that track anywhere, sans Freddie?

God, just when I think I have everything...!

Other than The Guitarist Magazine CD, I do NOT know if this was ever released or posted anywhere sans Freddie.

Mr. Serry, thanks a bunch. There's so many soundfiles there, I thought I had gotten them all.
