HEAVEN'S NO! NEVER!

I have one copy of it on vinyl that was given as a gift and I still occasionally will play the LP...Ahh the good old days of vinyl LPs...but I digress.

Freddie recorded that album in Munich I think... with an all German band. I Love "Let's Get It On" because it reminds me of that period of European gay club hopping that I did a heck of a lot of those days...and then bed-hopping afterwards!

LOL!

Cheers,

HELLO DARLINGS!
You mean 'Let's Turn It On.'

Mr Bad Guy is very much a Freddie album. That was the music he was into and it totally worked for him and it was the thing at the time. The album is not crap, you just dislike 80's dance music.

I love that album, and please don`t tell me that the remixes of those songs were better that the originals. I love all the songs and with Queen i only have one or two albums were i like All the stuff.

Take care
Freddie wanted the tracks to be that way. Who are us to decide if they should be redone?
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.
It does not need to be re-done. Simply because it isn't worth the effort.

I detest the remix of Living On My Own, but am quite fond of FREDDIE'S original synthy 80's version and his original vocals that weren't reworked and edited/sped up/looped YUCK!

Also as some already pointed out, it is Freddie's artistic and creative vision and he recorded it as HE wanted, and again as he also said (without interference from Brian, Roger, John).

If you don't like it, that's your perogative and right, but don't go tampering and changing Freddie's original work, music as he intended, wanted, and obviously HE loved.

I'm not thrilled with some of it either and BTW, I LOVE 80's dance music, STILL do..I just think parts of the album are not any Flashdance for me, could have used stronger songwriting more than anything else that's all.

I think "Mr. Bad Guy" should be re-recorded with Paul Rodgers on vocals.

Hehehe.

I like Freddie's solo stuff behind Brian's, but Mr. Bad Guy is a great album.
If Paul gets anywhere NEAR that, break out the tasers and mirrored sunglasses.

Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow can't be more improved. I Was Born To Love You was meant to be just the way it is, not re-worked as appears on the Made In Heaven album.

I Was Born To Love You is a club favorite, and that is the direction Freddie took musically, and thats what he wanted.

I still think it's cool that IWBTLY is now the theme song of a Japanese TV drama about hockey.
Look up "PRIDE."
