Freddie's last songs...
| Bigbrotherbp 06.08.2007 09:06 |
Why did he sound like Scottish accent on his very last songs? I see his voice sounded just *something* like Brian. Every 's' he sounded like a 'sh' (like Sean Connery). In the other way of speaking, he sounded like he had something *in* his mouth... (his overbite isn't it? :D) |

Probably because of AIDS weakening his immune system and allowing all sort of nasties to wreck havoc on his body. Some were recorded very close to his death - I wouldn't be surprised if his lungs and such were not in the best of shape at the time. |

Just listining to mother love sends chills down my spine, a true legend to the end. |

Just for the record Mother Love was not recorded in November '91 - it was recorded in May '91. |

For some reason, I never realized that until recently--I assumed Freddie sang the entire song. But one day, it hit me--the last verse didn't sound like Freddie, it sounded like Brian. Now it sounds so obviously like Brian to me that I wonder how I could have missed it before. |

Dave Richards and Brian May seem adamant that he recorded something in the month before he died, and this would fit with him coming off his medication and being in Montreaux for the last time. |

Its all very well being a smart ass and correcting someone, but if you have info like it wasn't recorded in November but in May then at least back it up with a source? A link or something? |

The video for TATDOOL was recorded in May 91 - could they have gotten confused by this? :P |

I have only been a big fan since about 2001 and often the only chance I get to listen to my CDs is at work and therefore my attention is often divided. Anyhoo. . .Yes, I feel like a complete moron and totally deserve the verbal flagellation I have received from several people so far. |

I don't see what the big deal is. People make mistakes. |
| thomasquinn 32989 07.08.2007 13:04 |
Yeah, but mistaking Brian for Freddie is quite a big one... |
| Good_Company50 07.08.2007 15:19 |
Yeah, unforgiveable. |
| deleted user 07.08.2007 15:25 |
I've made worse mistakes pertaining to Queen. :P |
| Good_Company50 07.08.2007 15:51 |
Surely not! What could possibly be worse than mistaking Brian for Freddie? Incredible! |
| FreddiesGhettoTrench 07.08.2007 17:17 |
Well, I've never mistaken Brian for Freddie in THAT song, but I've mistaken them for each other before, because sometimes depending on the pitch they do sound similar. I mistook Freddie for Roger, once, as well. So, I mean, it does happen. No biggie ^_^ |

I always figured it was from not having the 'tasche/beard anymore, his teeth rubbed against his mouth differently or something? Or it could have just been aging... |

People with AIDS get a lot of mouth sores as well, no? O_o |

I do notice that, in some of those last songs, his voice is clearly more fragile, and, his range is limited. I can't imagine what it must have taken to keep working, whilst being so very ill. I think, though, that some of the voice tracks were recorded several years before they made the album, and, his voice still sounds differently to me. Lovely, but, different. His pitch isn't as rich, and, he sticks more with a middle range. I dunno, really. Just different. I am not complaining. Had I been someone like Freddie, who loved life so very much, and, knew that I must leave that life, and, was physically ill, on top of that feeling of doom, I'd've likely just given up, and, certainly would not have been able to dig down and find that motivation, like Freddie did, to keep making music. |
