I just listened to this and I must say this is a crap remix. There was no need to ruin the vocals or guitar parts with auto tune.
BTW, I hate auto tune. Its overused and abused too much these days.
I didn't think it was that bad, and although I don't like some parts (like the high octave vocals, and some of the guitar), it must have taken quite a bit of work, and it's interesting to hear a different take on something which is very hard to do anything with. Thanks for sharing.
I quite liked it. Some of the things you have done with the backing vocals are quite nice, as is the way you've edited the notes Freddie sings on the last line (though the ascending "Mee-eee-eeee-eee" at the end detracts from that). However, I don't like the big echoing part just before the opera section, the high vocals being removed and the mellotron line. It would be interesting to hear instead of the mellotron a violin/string instrument taking over that part, maybe even some of the guitar solo. All in all, a nice little mix, doing some interesting things with a song few dare to change.

Yeah, I like that. I wonder, even, if it would be worth editing out the opera and rock sections, and make a complete song out of the slower bits? Might be nice. :)
I wouldn't say it was crap, the original is just so perfect and timeless it can't really be made better, though I'm sure that wasn't your intention. Either way it's interesting. I'm now searching for a torrent for the 24 track masters. No seeders so far =[
