Has anyone been able to buy this in a shop yet?
I've tried no less than 5 branches of HMV and one branch of Record House here in the UK and none of them said they had any plans to get it in.
I have been in about four HMV's, a Zavvi and a couple of indie shops and none of them had it until today. My wife went and got a copy at lunchtime for me - strange that we couldn't get it in the week of release!
I got an mp3 from a friend from Germany and it is indeed a remix. The flanged effect on Roger voice is not as obvious as it was and now it sounds pretty good.
Also the overall sound is much cleaner and crisper. It's great!
I honestly DON'T hear the difference...
MAYBE it's a little bit better- but still annoying...
ACTUALLY- there is something much more annoying- the flanger is not only on Brian and Roger's voices- it's also on drums... Every time Roger hits cymbals it sounds fucking terrible, like some annoying special sound effect... Guitars sound cool, but IMO drums are awful...
Wasn't going to buy it but when I saw the price (£1.99)- I just had to...!
I only hope this song will NOT be on the new album... Didn't like it during the tour- don't like it now either...
I was thinking that the vocals are cleaner as well.
If Brian listened to fan comments on the download, do you think he'd listen again and take Paul Rodgers OFF the new album?
He wouldn't be so bad if he learnt to sing without adding "hee hee hee" to every long drawn-out lyric (ie. ..."happening to meee eee hee eeee eeeee heeeeeeeeeee")
Annoyingly, Paul is mixed into the end guitar work in such a way that I can't do a vocal remove on him :(
