"I haven't really. Well, apart from another song by Bowie and Queen called 'I Don't Want To Be A Rolling Stone.' It's stunning. It was later re-worked to become 'I Go Crazy.' It's good as 'Under Pressure.' It would have been a great follow up single. "

Certainly, there were other tracks recorded with Queen and Bowie, and Freddie singing, which were never released. Pretty raw, but original material definitely. They were just incredibly spontaneous, good musicians. “I can categorically say I know that there were complete tracks, not mixed tracks, but fully formed songs that were done. Does it belong to the David Bowie estate or to Queen? That’s probably part of the reason these things have never come to light.”

Giorgio Moroder's original song called Love Kills, before Freddie Replaced it with the Version he worked on. A couple of Phantom of the Opera tracks.

Love Kills

I've only seen this mentioned in one book, Parragon's "They Died Too Young" series by Simon Boyce, so take the story with a Pinch of salt, It's also possible it's the "keep smiling" thing we all know.

You're not the only one. I always thought it sounded more like from The Works sessions. So nobody knows about this song is not true. I know some people who have also heard it. Strange that it isn't documented anywhere. I would like to read some more info on it.

Most of the demos, even those owned by respected collectors are well-documented on various websites.

miraclesteinway wrote: Wow. I just heard the Let's Make Love demo for the first time. Of course this is Freddie, but when was it recorded? It sounds like early 80s or even late 70s?

dave76 wrote: That is indeed the "Let's Make Love" demo. The full version is over 4 minutes long. But there is more than what the band make us believe.
