I believe you are talking about Gregsynthbootlegs. I'm not sure what DDD is? Here is the link to DDD (Digital Dream Door) You are right in identifying Gregsynthbootlegs. He actually is spearheading Freddie's thread in that site. I just discovered the youtube account of arinatale, but can not stop watching those multicam vids. They are stunning!!!! Nice to see you here, queeenal. Thank you for finding arinatale's YT multicam videos. As soon as I saw your post last night I immediately checked her YT account and brought them over here. I just discovered the youtube account of arinatale, but can not stop watching those multicam vids. They are stunning!!!! Where is the list of the multicams from the 11th? I have so few good vids from that date. Were all the songs redone with multi cam? , here's arinatale's list of QAL London 1 and they are all labeled Multicam (I am not familiar with multicam editing technology, if that is what arinatale did) FBGAOBTDA Kind of MagicWWTLFDSMNTYMDGod Save The QueenIWTBFETA: Next up, another greatest hit... Bicycle RaceHa! I've been meaning to ask you about the "actual" video made for this song so I'll wait till you discuss it ;D |

Bicycle RaceWritten by: Freddie Mercury Musicians: Freddie Mercury - lead and backing vocals, piano, bicycle bells Brian May - guitars, backing vocals, bicycle bells John Deacon - bass guitar, bicycle bells Roger Taylor - drums, backing vocals, bicycle bells - A thinly veiled reference to what Freddie wanted to do all day  The video is one of their most controversial, filled with naked ladies riding around a track on their bikes. In concert at times they would also have a few naked ladies ride around the stage. There was some definite fall out from the video in that the band was forced to purchase new seats for all the bicycles they had rented for the video shoot after the company found out about how they were treated - Played live through May of 1979 in the medley. - A bit of a precursor to rap as Freddie basically raps part of the verse. QUOTES: - "Freddie wrote in strange keys. Most guitar bands play in A or E, and probably D and G, but beyond that there’s not much. Most of our stuff, particularly Freddie’s songs, was in oddball keys that his fingers naturally seemed to go to: E-flat, F, A-flat. They’re the last things you want to be playing on a guitar, so as a guitarist you’re forced to find new chords. Freddie’s songs were so rich in chord structures, you always found yourself making strange shapes with your fingers. Songs like Bicycle Race have a billion chords in them.” – Brian May (2000) ALTERNATIVE RELEASED VERSIONS: 1991 HOLLYWOOD REMIX- NOT necessary. - A dance/hip hop remix. Not bad if you like that sort of thing but not my favorite remix. 2011 INSTRUMENTAL MIX- NOT necessary but you hear a LOT without the vocals so it's well worth the listen imo. - From the Deluxe 2011 Island Remastering. OFFICIALLY RELEASED LIVE VERSION: LIVE KILLERS VERSION- AUDIO only. PERSONAL NOTES: - A fun song that only Freddie could have gotten away with. Next up, a rocker from...John Deacon? If You Can't Beat Them

When I watched DOOL they did show this with partial video but the controversial parts were "blurred" . I thought no way they are going to release this video with naked women ;D riding the bike. Well, I was wrong. Queen even then kept pushing the boundaries and sometimes got stifled by some of society's limitations on what they "think" is the "acceptable" standard. I'm sure this is not the last...otherwise Freddie will be bored  |

If You Can't Beat Them
Written by: John Deacon
Musicians:
Freddie Mercury - lead and backing vocals
Brian May - guitars, backing vocals
John Deacon - bass guitar
Roger Taylor - drums, backing vocals
- The title says it all in the case of John. After writing a few power ballads, and other very different numbers, John tries his hand at a rocker.
- Played live through 1979 but then dropped never to appear again.
UNRELEASED LIVE PERFORMANCES:
LIVE IN PARIS - 1979
- This was one of the songs inexplicably left off the Live Killers album.
PERSONAL NOTES:
- It's a fun tune. It's not one that I jump too often or one of John's best, but it is a decent rocker by someone who didn't often write rock tracks. It's John's next rock track that is his best though.
Next up: The song that should have led off the album -- Freddie's Let Me Entertain You

The negative comments about the author of the Twit Longer being crazy are far from the truth. She is one of the wonderful administrators at Adam Storm. Adam Storm is extremely helpful in promoting Adam. Adam Storm raised an abundance of money in the drive to get Trespassing to the top. They post lots of sites for voting for Adam and his music. She is not crazy. She is a very helpful loyal Adam fan. Adam deleted because it looks pathetic to the media and haters that he (the artist) has to "beg" people to vote for his music. This is something that we don't need haters seeing.....He didn't delete it because he thought the Twit Longer was crazy before he read it. We should all be this loyal to Adam as she is.

If You Can't Beat ThemOhhhh... fantastic guitar riffs from BM! Just awesome. Indeed. Brian could make any song better just by adding a few riffs!  :D Nope all Freddie! Only he could be so bold The negative comments about the author of the Twit Longer being crazy are far from the truth..... *THINK* you posted this in the wrong place - if you want your point made, I'm not sure this niche place on the board is where you want it |
