Bring Back That Leroy Brown is super spooky - seriously, who is that incredibly deep voiced guest vocalist?? So mysterious. He also appears on Modern Times Rock and Roll! Really though, it's not as silly a question as it looks - more psychedelic elements in songs like The Beatles' 'Long, Long, Long', 'Revolution 9' and 'Blue Jay Way' are genuinely unnerving, and the sheer deathly, hopeless sound of Fleetwood Mac's 'Gold Dust Woman' always gets under my skin. Queen, though, have very few, if any songs, which would illicit the same sort of discomfort. I guess one thing that comes close is the looping, rising vocals at the very end of You Take My Breath Away - listen to see what I mean. The breakdown in the middle of Get Down, Make Love could be another, but I think it retains enough rock elements that it doesn't sound too deranged. I'm Going Slightly Mad also has a sort of off kilter feeling to it, which is a bit unsettling if you accept the interpretation that it was influenced by Freddie's ailing mental health in his fatal illness. If we approach it with a more adult sort of fear, you could look to Save Me, All Dead, Under Pressure things like that. The former deals with rejection, loneliness, and a resulting lack of self worth. All Dead is a very poignant sort of coming to terms with overwhelming death and loss. Under Pressure deals with fear of failure, and of the realities of the world in general. Overall, I'd say these songs are inspired by adult fears, but they don't inspire fear in the audience, especially since two of three of them reach a more uplifting resolution ('Why can't we give love that one more chance?', 'I should not grieve - in time it comes to everyone ... In hope I breathe'). I guess a child could find some of the high screams frightening - Lap of the Gods, My Fairy King, Son and Daughter, Ogre Battle and the like. Maybe even the intense mid section of Bo Rhap. In a more superficial sense, Procession always makes me jump as it goes into Now I'm Here on the Rainbow, as I will have turned it up to properly hear Procession, and then the first chord of Now I'm Here comes through so strongly. I guess that counts as a 'jump scare', especially if I'm for some reason expecting the usual (much softer) transition into Father to Son. |

Machines or back to humans used to freak my kids out when they were bairns. |

Imagine this, you're walking into an old abandoned manor, the whole place is devastated and hasn't been cleaned for years, the wood is cracking, your steps are unsteady and suddenly Roger's opening vocal line from In the lap of the gods attacks your ears. Spooky as hell ! |

Brighton Rock solo. It's scary how a competent guitarist can play the same solo in concerts for so many years. |

Obvious choice is The Prophets Song. It's about the doom of mankind. Some very haunting passages there. ... and in certain live versions it out does GDML. (Which was inspired by Whole lotta love) That and PISCTP .... for different reasons. I wouldn't be caught listening to that one out loud. Kudos to ^^^ ITLOTG.... it WOULD fit in a horror film/haunted house |

There's no identical guitar lines if you compare his solo in Son and Daughter at the Rainbow to his solo at Wembley. I much prefer the earlier iterations, where it actually has a progression and leads nicely back into the song. It just got indulgent and boring as the years went on. |

The unreleased track Polar Bear never fails to send shivers down my spine. Procession. Anybody else? Seriously. Just listen to it. It sounds like a funeral procession. The March Of The Black Queen I just find generally unnverving, especially those 6th octave screams. The Prophet's Song. It's about aocalyptic events and those echoes aren't exactly cheerful. Bohemian Rhapsody. The opera section is literally a fucking battle between God and Satan. It's Late. Those screams give me the chills. Oh, and the NOTW album cover certainly doesn't help. The Kiss. My jimmies are rustled. Body Language. This one isn't a joke, I find it a really damn unnvering song. It makes me think of having gay sex. Machines (Or Back To Humans) Pretty creepy. Made In Heaven (Track 13) Some of the scariest shit I've ever heard. Load's of noise, then there's a fucking voice that speaks into your soul that aks "Are you running? Are you running? Are you running?" Pretty damn messed up. Also, scary doesn't mean bad. Half of these i think are actually some of their best songs. Fear can be good. |
