link or link, or........ I never knew about the Andrew Gold track before. Thanks. With the JD Souther tie-in, and how it fades out, this sounds like it should segue into The Eagles 'Heartache Tonight'. |

Eddie Howell, "man from Manhattan" Freddie and Brian on backing vocals.(they became friendly while working in the studio around the same time) |

There's a couple more from the 80's that Brian played on of the top of my head. Holly Johnson 'Love Train'and Livin in a box 'Blow the house down'. Check out blow the house down for an awesome guitar solo by Brian.There's been loads of guest spots for Brian acruelly! |

Gold is also known for his biggest UK hit song "Never Let Her Slip Away", which was a UK #5 hit twice, by him and again at #5 fourteen years later by Undercover. Freddie Mercury, who was a friend of Gold's, has been mistakenly credited with assisting him with the harmony background vocals of the song. Gold himself explains in his liner notes for the CD version of 'All This & Heaven Too' that it was actually Timothy Schmit and J D Souther. |

Elton John "Ice On Fire". Never heard the tracks though - so don't know if Roger and John made much of an impact. |

Stay with me tonight by Jeffrey Osbourne featuring Brian May solo. Billy Squier with Freddie on 2 tracks, Love Is The Hero and Lady with a Tenor Sax. |

Def Leppard with Brian, Travelin Band, live from 1983 LA Forum, included on the Pyromania Deluxe edition |

Thank you for all the good replies! I have to say that in the song "Never Let Her Slip Away," it really sounds like Freddie Mercury when sung "...on a schoolday afternoon." PS! Only on the album "All This and Heaven Too." But I hear/read what you're saying. |

There was no essential reason to start topic like this, when there's a great website with the ultimate information on collaborations and song versions. link |

brENsKi wrote: Ian Hunter: Your nearly Did Me InI find this one a weird listen. In one sense, the Queen vocals in it sound terrific and very Queen-esque (for obvious reasons; it's Queen singing them). On the other hand, it's the exact same phrase (musically I mean, though lyrically is also true) repeated every single time they sing, something completely uncharacteristic of Queen music, which makes it a very jarring experience in my opinion. Compare this to You're My Best Friend, Killer Queen or The Prophet's Song, where each chorus is unique in some way. |
brENsKi 07.01.2015 07:41 |
know what you mean...there's some weird timing in particular the lyrics don't seem to marry with the tune in places. I used to own the album - All American Alien Boy - it's not bad, not great, but not bad either. And, despite the absence of his Mott bandmates, it still sounds (musically) like a Mott album. |

Billy Squier: Freddie and Roger on 'Emotions in Motion' Brian on '1984' Magnum: Roger on Backing Vocals on the tracks 'when the world comes down' and 'crying time' (he produced their 'Vigliante Album' together with David Richards.

Brian on Paul Rodger's 'Little Wing' and 'I am ready' Brian on 'Shift in the wind', 'Slot Machine' and Cassandra by Steve Hackett Brian on 'if theres a Heaven' by Tony Martin |

ITSM : I can not hear any evidence of Freddies appearance on "Andrew Gold's" "All this heaven and more" album on that track "Never let her slip away" ? |

Thanks for clarifying that ! I only read the head opening lines on this topic! |
The King Of Rhye 07.01.2015 11:28 |
The Sabbath song Brian's on is When Death Calls, definitely worth checking that one out! Cozy Powell was in the band then, too........ |
brENsKi 07.01.2015 11:42 |
Tony Martin era - Headless Cross i liked his Sabbs stuff - he made a handful of albums with them, in fact he helped give them a new sound - a bit more raw/dirty. and, not that I need an excuse to get my Anti-Gillan soapbox out, but TM's stuff was so much better than that [ahem] Gillan Abortion that was "Born Again" - fucks' sake that was one shitter of an album |

There's no mention of Foo Fighters "Tired Of You". Brian plays a beautiful part of guitar in this song. |
ITSM 08.01.2015 02:07 |
Gerry: I "hear" Freddie on the one sentence: "On a schoolday afternoon." (Andrew Gold - Never Let Her Slip Away, on the album All This and Heaven Too), I think it's strange that you don't, hehe. |

Brian plays on a cover on Love of My Life by Extreme - released as a b side to their 'Song For Love' single |

Some great info on Roger's guest spots here too: link |
dave76 08.01.2015 06:16 |
Shakin' Steven's "Radio" with Roger on drums. He also appears in the video. |
br5946 12.01.2015 10:23 |
One of my favourite guest appearances has to be John's bass on The Immortal's 'No Turning Back'. And as for people who said about 'Eternity'... it is true? Because the admittedly thin guitar chords on that song don't sound like the Red Special tone to me. |
