Just discovered All Dead, All Dead

6 Upvotes

For the longest time I had believed from the title alone that song named like this would've been something of the likes of hard rock. Talk about judging a book by its cover...
I reckon there's not plenty of need to reiterate how much of a genius Brian is, it is common knowledge for any Queen fan at this point, but gosh if his songs hold a bit of relatability sometimes.

I have a dog, she just turned 9 this November, has been on my side since I was 10. The more time goes on the more I realise that one day she won't be around anymore, that I won't hear the nails of her paws walk across the hall any longer.

This song drops many "bars" as one would say today, but that "Of course I can't believe you're dead" is shattering. It's a perfect representation to words of what it must feel to lose somebody, whether a pet or a loved one, who has been in your life for so long that it literally seems normal for them to be there. How can I even for a second come to terms with the fact that said normality won't stay forever? That some day will be last of this normality?

God, I love Queen. I am every day glad to be a fan. :]

Music Am I tripping, or did they quietly change the intro to Fat Bottomed Girls?

So I was playing “fat bottomed girls” and I’ve noticed that the intro felt off something was different Around 0:22 makr is where i felt something was different there was supposed to be two rhythm guitars playing at the time but this sounds like a single guitar. And I’ve noticed they’ve added extra stuff like the clapping and the guitar rhythm or lead play different melodies which was cool. So I don’t know if anyone else experiences this or not 🤍

This was the first show of the ANATO tour, featuring the Live debuts of Sweet Lady, Bohemian Rhapsody, and The Prophet’s Song. The show features a few mishaps, most notably Freddie admitting that he forgot the lyrics to Sweet Lady, hitting the first high note, for the only time ever live, then proceeding to give us certainly a memorable (maybe not for the best reasons) performance of Sweet lady. If you haven’t, I would definitely give the show a listen. Here it is:

Queen songs with the fewest chords, or most simple harmony?

29 Upvotes

I just thought about this because I was watching a YouTube video where a classical composer was giving his analysis of some Queen songs, and he commented on a thing that I've always noticed, being the "music nerd" that I am. that is, that Queen songs often have interesting things going on with the chord changes, like there's secondary dominants and key modulations and such things.

So then that made me wonder, what are the Queen songs with less of that? The first one I thought of is "We Will Rock You", because it kinda doesn't have chords for most of it. It's in E minor but the guitar solo is in A....uh, something, lol. Any other ones I'm missing out on?

Just how good Freddie really was.

31 Upvotes

I saw Supreme Queen last night in Warsaw UK ,one of the best Queen Tribute bands and they were superb. They were really respectful to Freddie and the guys ,a real tribute. They did not just the usual greatest hits but songs for the true fan as well. The guy who was Freddie was amazing and really lived it ,he was in good shape and was obviously a capable singer but I wont say he struggled but by God did he have to work hard to hit the notes and wasn't always successful.He was wasn't afraid to admit how hard it was 😄. I do believe the band have three Freddie's just so they can perform every night if need be,nobody can do it night after night.

Just made me realise just how good technically Freddie was and just how good an impersonator has to be to not only sing like Freddie but dart about the stage like he did because that alone would have many out of breath.

Also watching somebody do the later Brian May Guitar solo was also quite nerve racking with all those bends,it seemed so isolated and clean, I was quite relived the lad got through it unscathed lol ,a mistake would have stood out a mile.Really made me appreciate Brian as a guitarist.

Its been 40 years since I last saw Queen as a teenager,I'm nearly sixty now and many of those who were there last night were not even in their 30s so its nice to see people still showing their love for the band. I don't even think the singer for the band would have been born when Queen last toured.

Serious Can anyone explain what this short video, posted on Queen’s social media, is about?

Judging by the aesthetic, it might be related to "Thank God It's Christmas." The thing is, I don’t listen to that 1984 track very often, so what Freddie sings in the clip is a bit confusing—was that part of the original lyrics, or is it a new, previously unreleased track coming out this Monday?

And—without wanting to sound too cynical—knowing how Queen Productions operates (even if Sony is the one calling the shots), they might just be announcing some unnecessary product rather than an unreleased song.

Anyway, what do you all think?

But then I read that it was Duran Duran's drummer, also named Roger Taylor.

As they said in The Highlander, "There can be only one".

What would Queen have sounded like in the 90s?

61 Upvotes

Over the last few days, I’ve been thinking about what their music might have sounded like if Freddie had stayed healthy and Queen hadn’t eventually gone their separate ways. I suspect they would have created more songs in the style of "You Don't Fool Me."
