There have been many alternative clips of promo films over the years...early versions like Innuendo and better than officially available clips like the TOTP's version We Are The Champions. Three UNRELEASED clips for starters: We are the champions - TOTP's 1977 Bicycle Race - Original rejected version (some of this was later used to create a new video on video hits 1) The Miracle - Alternative cut (The chart show) strangefrontier |

This is all very true. But what I want to know is, are you making a statement or are you asking a question? Other Alternative and unreleased clips: 2 x Seven Seas Of Rhye (TOTP) Killer Queen (Dutch TV) Bohemian Rhapsody (TOTP) Bicycle Race ("Cocaine" version) Crazy Little Thing Called Love (BBC Version) Another One Bites The Dust (Different Scenes, Shortened Version) At least 3 X Different Innuendo Versions At least 2 X A Winter's Tale Versions Just from the top of my head - there are many more... |

Asking for as many as clips as can be remembered!!! |
| kohuept 04.10.2010 14:36 |
Don't forget Days of Our Lives with/without the animation. Depending on how picky you are, there are different versions of Somebody to Love from the Tribute Concert. Wasn't there an original "darker" version of the Keep Yourself Alive video? |
| AlexRocks 04.10.2010 20:31 |
I consider there to be FOUR different versions of "Keep Yourself Alive"!!! FIrst the one with them wearing light color clothes on a light colored set, then one where they are wearing dark clothes on a darker set where I think they filmed the clip for "Liar", the one that shows clips from the early 20th Century, and then the one that shows clips from all three that is on the music home video VHS video tape for the Hollywood Records compilation "Classic Queen". As for "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" I consider there to be FOUR versions. There's the regular one with Freddie being seen at the end, the one with Roger drumming at the end (I don't know if there are any other edits), the animated one that is on the music home video VHS video tape for the Hollywood Records compilation "Classic Queen", and then there is one that was clips of the black and white performance that at some points got a "goldish" shade to it and showed cilps from throughout their career. I think there are a couple of "A Kind Of Magic" with one showing clips from the film Highlander or is that "One Vision" showing some clips from "Iron Eagle"? Isn't there a version of "The Miracle" with just the children? I can't remember and don't have "Greatest Video Hits 2" yet... "Under Pressure" has two video clips showing different clips of film. Both are good but I definitely like one of them over the other. "Good Old Fashion Lover Boy" is another... "Killer Queen" is another with the third being on "Greatest Flix I". I believe that "Hammer To Fall" has a couple of versions of the same performance if I am correct as well. Doesn't "No One But You (Only The Good Die Young)" have a couple of different edits as well? I think I have heard that there are a couple of different edits of "The Show Must Go On"...I think. This is not taking into account all of the clips made for the music home video compilation "Queen Rocks". (I've never seen it before.) But apparently those basically all suck and are just clips of them throughout their career from other short promotional films (music videos). |

@ Flash Taylor Sleman Wow, thanks a lot for this great list! |
| rhyeking 03.06.2012 20:53 |
Even though it's not always technically accurate, having grown up in the '80s, I just call any such footage synched to its song a "music video." It seems so quaint to call them anything else, like "promo films," "clips," or what-have-you. I know it's semantics either way, as not every "video" was shot on video and not ever "film" was shot on film, I just think it's interesting generational nomenclature, similar to how the generation older than me will call a record an "album" (rather than "LP"). For me, the album is the collection or group of songs, whereas LP, cassette, MP3, 7" single, etc., is the medium its presented on. |

Actually the term "l.p." is far more logical because it explains how many songs are the release more or less (as affer to an "e.p." or "single") and more or less tells the running time. Also it actually is important to call "music videos" "short promotional films" as that is more acurate than "music video" because there is another commerical product called the "music home video". So it helps distinguish what these two things are more exactly. If someone says Queen are releasing a video next week you don't know if they mean a "short promotional film" or "music home video" which could be d.v.d, v.hs., a compilation, a concert, a documentary, or long film (and all of the possibilities with that). |

If you said to me, "Did you see the video for 'Headlong'?" I'd know what you're talking about. If you said, "Did you see the 'Don't Stop Me Now' promo film?" I'd think, "he's talking about the music video." It's just my term of reference, but I'd still know what you meant. Now, if you said, "Check out the 'Innuendo' promo," I'd ask for clarification. Do you mean one of the versions of the music video or you talking talking about the Press Kit footage? It's an imprecise language sometimes, so I find it best to be as detailed and specific as to what I'm talking about: "The 'Days Of Our Lives' video as it appears on the US Classic Queen VHS." So that the multiple points of reference, even if not all the terms are shared by every reader, should direct them to what I'm referring to. And since Queen refer to them as "videos" as often as not in commentaries and packaging (Greatest Video Hits 1 & 2), it seems neither term is more correct (Greatest Flix). So it comes down to personal preference, with an effort to be clear about what we're talking about. Dish Soap or Washing Up Liquid? Torch & Flashlight? Vacuum or Hoover? TV or Telly (Tele?)? Ain't the English language wonderous in its diversity? :-) |
| GratefulFan 04.06.2012 14:16 |
Washing up liquid? Is that a real term? That's way too many syllables. Get it together UK! :) |
| rhyeking 04.06.2012 20:31 |
I know "washing up liquid" is used in Ireland, as I had an Irish housemate in university. We were doing dishes and she asked for the washing up liquid... Me: "The what now?" Her: "The washing up liquid!" (points to the bottle) Me: "The dish soap?" (handing it to her) Other roommate (to her): "Wait, what did you call it?" Her: "Washing up liquid! What do you call it?" Us: "Uh, Dish Soap!" Her: "That's strange. Dish. Soap? Nah, it's washing up liquid. For, like, when you're washing up." Me: "Doing the dishes?" Her: (laughing) "You guys are SO mental! 'Doing the dishes,' 'dish soap...'" Other roommate: "Wash-ing Up Li-Quid: 5 syllables. Dish Soap: 2 syllables. We win!" Her: "Quiet you!" (throws soapy sponge at his head) |
| dysan 05.06.2012 02:48 |
'Dish soap' sound like sex lube. |
| GratefulFan 05.06.2012 06:50 |
Exactly. Why do you think it's called "doing the dishes"? "Washing up liquid" sounds like you've already done it at the dinner table with the cat watching. |

I'd like to have some evidence of existence of Innuendo 'Nazi' video. Actually no-one ever heard of this promo version, except for ghostwithasmile, so I think that there's some kind of mistake. |

| Ghostwithasmile is BACK! 13.06.2012 15:16 |
Yes it is a finished version. And you can see Hess talking to a crowd...further it's more or less like the known version. Wonder whybthey choose for Hess abd not Hitler himself. The date on the tape is mentioned the tape says " adult version" the same tape also features the "childeren version" |

This particular promo version of Innuendo does exist and remains unreleased. This is just one of six versions of the video. |

I've got a promo VHS tape that has a simple dark blue card sleeve, with a large square sticker on the front with the Queen logo and one of the various drawings from the I'm Going Slightly Mad single artwork. - The tracklisting is shown as; Innuendo I'm going Slightly Mad Innuendo This is all from my memory as it's away in a box, but I am pretty sure it has the promos listed, and this could possibly contain two versions of innuendo as it is listed twice. I suppose it could also have a different edit of IGSM too in theory? GT - does this promo VHS tape sound familiar to you, and if so could you confirm the details? Thanks |
