Brian's voice

Hi,
I have just realised it is not hard at all to hear Brian's voice when he, Roger and freddie sing together, if you listen carefully you can hear Brian's voice in many recordings, you just have to listen out for that slow american style voice LOL that Brian's voice sounds like

btw i don't think Brian is a good singer, despite him being my favourite musician

Brian's a great singer.

I can clearly hear Brian sing in:

Tie Your Mother Down
Breakthru
I Want It All (in the choruses)
Hammer To Fall
Son & Daughter
The Night Comes Down

and a whole lotta more

brian made huge contributions to queens harmonies. as well as having a great voice himself.

and if he doesnt have a great voice. he sounds good on harmonies. like me. i dont have a really good voice in fact its pretty shit. but when my band does harmonies it sounds pretty good with me in them

I sometimes have a hard time figuring out who is Freddie and who is Brian on some songs. And some songs when Brian is singing it, it takes me awhile to realize it is him and not Freddie. The trio go very well together in harmony. Brian and Freddie have similar voices. Brian has a very good singing voice. I do not have trouble with the diffrence when Roger is singing because he has a very raspy, high trademark voice. But they are all good singers (i would have liked to hear John more)

Listen to Brian in the chorus of Teo Torriatte...great vocals there. I love listening for him or Roger in harmonies. It adds another layer of depth to the songs. :)

Brian is by far and away most prominent on the harmonies of "Fat Bottom Girls".

Just take a listen, it sounds like all Brian.

i can hear him in the hitman, dont try suicide, i want it all, tie your mother down, and tear it up

I think Brian is both. I think when it comes to heavy stuff with strong vocals, Brian's voice can't hang very well with it. Not terrible, but not too good a voice.

However, when it comes to soft vocal songs like All Dead All Dead, Someday One Day, Long Away, '39, Wilderness Child, etc., Brian's voice is incredibly great!

His voice is perfect for Queen background vocals. It mixes well with Freddie's.

I agree! And I love his voice on "Good Company," LOL. Really, I do.

Watching videos it sometimes seems like Brian used to not sing everything like Roger did. Roger would be providing all the back ups. It seems like Brian wouldn't always sing even when he was supposed to.

I absolutely love his voice in Some Day One Day. I think its his best vocal performance.

The chorus of The Show Must Go On are Freddie's voice and Brian's...

It's interesting, though Freddie came up with the big complex tunes themselves, it was Brian (I think) who thought up the idea of the massive overdubs. The idea is already there in "April Lady", before Fred showed up - and also in the guitar sound.
So yeah, that's probably why you hear so much of Brian's voice.

I agree too ! Those are some of my favourite Queen songs

I like his voice esp. in All Dead All Dead, Sail Away Sweet Sister, Someday One Day. In All Dead All Dead, harmony from Freddie's and Bri's voice is fantastic.
