Band vs Solo

scottmax 18.04.2013 16:25	Apologies this has been discussed before.... Which of the members solo songs do you think would've worked well within the band? I reckon a Queen version of Brians 'Wilderness' would've been awesome. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance
waunakonor 18.04.2013 19:20	I could totally see Freddie singing Another World. Not sure about Wilderness, though.
ANAGRAMER 19.04.2013 01:41	Queen versions of Why Don't We Try again and Freedom Train would've been nice
horse feathers 19.04.2013 07:10	Not sure Freddie could have sung those songs mentioned above. Nothing to do with the key or anything realistic, like that, just the fact that he wasn't alive, anymore?

horse feathers 19.04.2013 11:11	With that one word Brenski, Scottmax showed what a complete imbecile he really is. And thus deserved no reply from me. Perhaps he doesn't keep up with the news and how much conrtoversy surrounded that word, last year?
scottmax 19.04.2013 12:22	wow, the pied piper plays and his sheep follows.... if that's what you call disabled people that's your choice, it's not mine. I think cunt is a far worse word
horse feathers 19.04.2013 12:23	I bet you get invited to loads of parties don't you, Scott?

Queen fan 19.04.2013 13:31	it is a shame Freddie did not take dont stop me now as is solo single back then and complete an album with it we would had had far more material of both solo work and queen i have access to that reality and it is great you would be amazed shame i cannot share it with you but my mind is not like the tardis my brain is too small.
thomasquinn 32989 19.04.2013 13:54	Am I to take it that this is as close as you're going to get to admitting that you are, in fact, completely bonkers?

Just die. I dont know if I pity you or envy you. I would love to live in a different reality to everyone else on earth like you do.

mooghead 20.04.2013 16:36	Back to the Light had its moments but all Queen solo stuff is utterly woeful. Queen are like the Stones in this respect. All great together. Shite on their own.
Hangman_96 20.04.2013 17:01	To be honest, I don't know why some topics are created on this forum at all...
mooghead 20.04.2013 17:07	To be discussed? What you mean is 'this isn't the answer I wanted to hear'. Queen's solo work is terrible. They needed each other. 'Its like coming back to Mother'
bulsarafreddie123 26.04.2013 14:31	What's about RTs "Foreign Sand"?
notimeforlosers 26.04.2013 17:00	I like Roger's solo career and I don't think it is lame or terrible. There are solo songs that turned to be Queen's songs like Heaven for Everyone or Headlong or TMLWKY. I think a Freddie version of Future Management would have been nice.
AlbaNo1 28.04.2013 10:49	This could have been a decent thread,but plenty of truly woeful overly confrontational responses as usual. The attitude of Queen fans on here is as disillusioning as the output and muscial choices of the rest of the band for the last ten years. Nothin But Blue might have been good with the full band.
mooghead 28.04.2013 13:46	"I think a Freddie version of Future Management" For once I am speechless..

If you think the song is silly, oh, there are so many other silliest songs in Queen's catalogue. And though I still like them.

Really Thomas? Do I have to remind you you called Grateful Fan "scum" and you called me a bigot, a racist and a troll. And this from the guy who, with a straight face apparently, said he was moderate and level headed. lol. On any normal forum you would've been banned by now.
Holly2003 28.04.2013 15:12	Back on topic, Brian's solo career is probably stronger but it's always been hampered by a feeling that it's "Queen-lite" i.e. too much like Queen but never good enough to emulate the band. On the other hand, Roger has tried to do non-Queen like songs and to forge his own sound. Although that approach has led to very mixed results, it's still more interesting than Brian's solo stuff. As to the general point someone made that all their solo recordings are crap, imo that's not true, I've heard stuff by plenty of well-known bands that is weaker than Queen solo work.
horse feathers 28.04.2013 15:23	Roger Taylor's stuff and The Cross stuff, is the only solo stuff I can listen to, to be honest. I think that Holly was right in saying he moved away from the Queen sound, which I agree with and admire him for it. Not all of his stuff has worked though, but for me, when he got it right, it was very pleasing to my ears. In fact I play his solo stuff, more than I play any of Queen's stuff from 1982 and onwards. Also, in my opinion. I think 'The Unblinking Eye', is the best solo song from any band member from Queen. I must point out, however, that I consider Freddies 'Barcelona' album, not to be part of the solo stuff, because it is not in the rock or pop territory of music, it's also a fantastic album too. So perhaps, cos of this reasoning, I should not include the Cross stuff, but I am, cos we all know the first album was really a Roger solo album and it also had a later to be released authentic Queen track on it. But I do prefer Freddies vocal version on the The Cross album, but also prefer the music from Rogers vocal take on that album. If only we could have a mix of those two parts together, that would be the ultimate mix of 'Heaven For Everyone' for me, even with the talking parts left in it. As I felt Queen's later version of the song was very weak.

Poignant in that this is one of those that may never have existed but for the looming irrevocable loss of the full band. Brian has said he wrote it in a mood of deep melancholy on an evening dominated by thoughts that the end for Freddie was going to be coming very soon. And indeed he passed away within a day or two of that session.
