Most fans throw this track away and I havent heard it in years since my GH3 cd got a crack in it (I dint bother to buy another one, I guess it bit the dust pun intended)
anyway the track isnt a throw away track. It's a hidden gem in the interesting relic that's within it... okay my sense of the dramatic sucks so I'll just cut to the chase. The song has Freddie's pure vocals on it, not sped up a semitone like the album track. It's interesting to hear the vocals at the real speed especially at 2:40 at the "beullets rip part". Take a watch of the video at youtube.

Sorry, man, but both the song and the video are horrible. I'd rather watch Crazy Frog on a loop than that, and that's saying a lot.
Actual-pitch? Woah I might just have to subject myself to this piece of shit purely for my curiosities' sake.
Interesting aspect but the songs still sucks ass.
nice video.
Freddie's vocals weren't speed up. The rhythm track was speed up because the tempo wasn't good enough. After the speeding Freddie sang the vocals. Brian also said this in his soapbox last year. (And it's not a full semitone, it's more of a half ssemitone)
This version was brought back to the original pitch for some reason, Freddie's vocals also sound unnatural.

Are you sure about that KFC, dude? I thought Brian was questioned on it and admitted that the track was pitched half a semitone at some point after they finished recording and he didn't find out about it until they were doing the 5.1 mix for Greatest video hits due to the synching of the video and the mix. That's what I thought I read, I don't know that post must have been atleast last year so my memory could be shoddy.

I couldnt care less about what they did to Freddies voice but what ever they did ruined a ecellent song
I would rather have my testicles continually shot at with a paintball gun than listen to over a minute of the song.
The only good bit is the opening
"are you ready for this are you standing on the edge of your seat, i need a break now"
Wycliff sounds so butch

I like the line "This remix will be critically acclaimed"... um, no. Atleast not among Queen fans lol. I forgot that it was done for that movie about the living toys, Small Soldiers. It's funny that a random wax figure with a moustache and Freddie jacket makes an instant Freddie even though it looks nothing like them. It must've taken them all of two seonds to put that "wax figure" of Freddie together.
Another interesting fact about it: IT SUCKS.
Well, I like the video. I may not like hip-hop and rap and that kind of stuff, but I somehow like it!
: D

So, was Freddie´s voice pitched up or not?
Take care
Take care
