Does anyone else here really love The Unblinking eye (everything is broken)? I love the fact that Roger is brave enough to do that. He seems very...opinionated. I'm surprised it hasn't been banned, I mean they banned Nazis 1994 when the country was a bit more sane about whats acceptable. I suppose they couldn't deny the truth.
'Nazis 1994' wasn't banned (it was in top 30!), Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre has banned just one line from advertisement, Radio One removed the track to the night airings.

What other Queen songs have been banned or censored?
The BBC's Top of the Pops show banned the video of Under Pressure because it featured footage from the troubles in Ulster.
BBC Radio also muted the line "a liittle high" in Bo Rap when it was re-released after Fred's death.
The fat bottomed girl 7" single cover was redone to add panties to the girl (a damn shame imo).
No doubt the nude poster from Jazz was banned in many countries?
Last night I ordered the CD-single. I've only heard it one time, because I'm not a huge fan of "PC-music".
Nice to get something else than bills in the mail...
It isn't banned because nobody gives a fuck about a 60-year-old has-been recording a mediocre track which maybe a couple of thousand Queenfans will hear. However, I think it's great that Roger still makes new music even though his audience is pretty limited.
I bought the song in part to send a message that new music from Rog is still desired and still appreciated, but I do like it as well. The lyrics are a little trite, but the music is pleasant and I have always really loved his voice. The orchestral section in the middle is too long, the whole thing is a bit of a pastiche of approaches, the harder 'High Street full of holes' section could have been reprised, and Lord knows I don't understand the closed bathroom signs in the video. But overall it's a good track made with passion by an experienced musician with a great rock and roll voice who happens to be part of a band that inspires me more and makes me happier than any other. Count me in.
