Whilst listening to NATO today it stuck me that the Prophet's song was a better all round song with a more difficult vocal section than Bo Rhap.However it did not have the potential to be a single so it never really got the acclaim that it really should have.I would be interested to hear your views. |
mooghead 13.06.2015 15:25 |
Brian tried to do his double echo thing but with vocals. It didn't work. It sounds great through one speaker but how much better would it have been without that nonsense in the middle?! |
noorie 13.06.2015 15:35 |
Actually, Prophet's Song would appeal only to Queen fans. Otherwise, the middle is waaay toooo long to hold interest for the casual listener. I think Brian overdid it a bit. (Trying to rival Bo Rhap, perhaps?) I personally like the Prophet's Song quite a lot, but definitely prefer Bo Rhap. I think Freddie understood his audience a bit better than Brian. |

It's a good song but it's a rock song. Bohemian rhapsody is bohemian rhapsody - sweet melodies, unique piano, killer solo, killer vocals of different shades, heavy metal, opera etc . In fact I always hated the vocal solo in prophet song. It would have been a way better song without that. Not sure why no one said it to them. Let's call a spade a spade. |

If they had cut out out that godawful middle section, It would have been a good track instead of this wasted opportunity. It's enough that we have been hearing the same guitar solo for the last 45 years, we don't need a vocal version with the same stupid effects. philip storey wrote:However it did not have the potential to be a single so it never really got the acclaim that it really should have.I would be interested to hear your views.It got EXACTLY the acclaim it deserved, BECAUSE it didn't have the potential to be a single, and was ruined by the pointless vocal effects. |
Fat Bottomed Queen 13.06.2015 17:19 |
Agreed. i think the middle section makes it the song, but i do LOVE the riffs near the end. its my favorite guitar after hendrix. Then, with bohemian rhapsody, i have heard it easily over 1000 times and still think its amazing and the suspense never dies. I didn't like mustapha at first, but now its easily my favorite song on jazz and preffer it to all hot space and the game combined. So why many people dislike the middle section? its spiritual. Or... plot twist, march of the black queen. |
The King Of Rhye 13.06.2015 18:20 |
I love The Prophets Song....that middle section kind of freaked me out at first, but it really grew on me! It would have been interesting if there had ever been a 'single edit' or something, though. |
matt z 13.06.2015 18:52 |
I think the middle section could be viewed as representing the wise old man's calling and words falling on deaf and complacent ears. Just my opinion. But yeah. For a casual listener it's way overkill. As an arty album track it's phenomenal. The riffs alone on the track are incredible. It's a menacing track. These days I prefer it to BoRhap. |
tero! 48531 14.06.2015 02:21 |
I had to listen to the song again to make sure you were talking about the same thing... The verses are dull and repetitive, and the vocal middle section is completely pointless. The best part of the song is right at the finish when the acoustic guitar morphs into LOML. Brian tried so hard to be as artistic as Freddie, and failed miserably. Why didn't he just stick with the regular songs he was good at? |
master marathon runner 14.06.2015 02:45 |
"Brian tried to be as artistic as freddie'. Poppycock. They would have worked on their respective compositions at home or wherever , then brought the 'skeletons' to the table ,so to speak, and get down on tape. Prophets song is a superb album track and I totally get the vocal section as matt z stated and those that don't are missing out im afraid. |

C_Matt made a nice edit, for those interested. |
Nitroboy 14.06.2015 08:46 |
That's a nice edit, but I still don't mind the middle of the song. If one pays attention, it's a vital part of the "story" in the song :) |
hobbit in Rhye 14.06.2015 08:46 |
Interesting edit from C_Matt, but only when I listen to his version I realise that I want that middle section back! The song sounds less imposing and less ominous without it. Not necessarily agreed with his cutting off the Toy Koto either. The Prophet's Song is Brian at his best, as Bohemian Rhapsody is Freddie at his best. Comparing the two songs is like comparing the best apple to the best orange ^^ When I was small, I listened to The Prophet's Song without understand its meaning nor its English lyrics, and the middle section felt tedious. But now, with a new view, that section makes me uncomfortable and intrigued at the same time. |
Oscar J 14.06.2015 09:24 |
The Prophet's song is a masterpiece in it's own right, complete with proggy progressions and lyrics, along with the most powerful vocals on the album. I definitely don't think the middle bit is too long - maybe some listeners just don't have enough patience to appreciate it. |
mr mason 14.06.2015 10:03 |
Prophet Song,one of 'Queens' finest,Brian wrote it,but the whole structure is 100% 'Queen'! |
Fly away 14.06.2015 10:18 |
Middle section is the prophet's vision, right? As such it's supposed to be a bit psychedelic. I love it - amazing musicianship to come up with the canon harmonies and then perform it. |

The Prophet's Song is fantastic and is many ways superior to Bo Rhap, albeit a little less melodic. I'm sure Brian put much, much more effort into Good Company than The Prophet's Song. |

I love The Prophet's Song. Freddie's vocal performance is absolutely incredible, the vocal harmonies are sublime (not that we'd expect any less from mid-1970s Queen), and the guitar work in the instrumental section after the vocal canon is quite nice, too. Brian makes a great progression out of the whole piece, which is driven home by the shift from 'Oh-ohs' to 'Ah-ahs' in the chorus (I'm an absolute sucker for that sort of thing - it's put to beautiful use on the single and 'Naked' versions of Let It Be, with Paul, George, and Linda singing the chorus backing vocals). I don't love the middle section, but I don't think it detracts from the song, either - if anything, the return to full band is more impacting because of the break. It's a shame it translated into such a lackluster live song. If Freddie had played the piano for it, a la White Queen, it probably would have helped a lot. Add Roger singing alongside Freddie for the ascending pre-chorus and harmonising with Freddie while hitting the top notes, and better arrangement/delivery of the vocal harmonies, and they would've had something pretty nice. |

Crikey moses.The difference between C_Matt's mixes and your example is that C_Matt isn't replacing the original whatsoever. He's just providing an alternative through which we can more clearly hear elements which we mightn't have noticed before. 'we must accept the works as the artist puts out' Why? Should we not have opinions, or any capacity for critical thought at all? Should we just passively consume what we're given? You're basing what you're saying on media effects theories which haven't been taken seriously for decades. Not all art that's made is good - far from it. Many here would assert that not even all Queen music is good. |
br5946 15.06.2015 05:30 |
I love both Bo Rhap and Prophet's Song - the former moreso. The vocal canon puts me in two minds. If I'm in a certain mood, I can adore the prog-rock nature of that middle section, but it can bother me slightly at other times. That having been said, everyone knows how much that the band were for having as a single before Freddie came up with Bo Rhap. I think if a smooth edit had been made, it would've made a good third single from A Night At The Opera. Freddie is quoted as having said about how Now I'm Here was a total contrast to its predecessor Killer Queen, and I think the same formula would've been perfect for Prophet's Song, following YMBF and all. |

I think 'The Prophet's Song' is an excellent piece and the vocal section is really good. I think, however, that 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is an even better piece and the vocal section is even more demanding, even more memorable, and even more interesting. It achieves the double feat of being quite detailed and elaborate at the same time as being catchy and radio-friendly. |
Togg 19.06.2015 02:58 |
A Night At The Opera is simply a masterpeice, it is the reason I love Queen and have since I first heard it, all the tracks are Queen at their best. Prophet Song is IMO pure genius, nobody at that time in the music industry even knew how to write and record a song like that, you have to think of it in terms of being put out in 1975, it was mind blowing. Without doubt it was the album that changed my life. |
Fat Bottomed Queen 20.06.2015 16:34 |
Which one i preffer honestly depends on my mood so i can't really come up with an exact answer, but i think bohemian rhapsody is more solid and put together as a song better. |
