among all the recent discussion about best/worst videos, i got to wondering....what, in your mind, is the worst moment of any video? the part that makes you laugh, or cringe, when you watch it? the one that comes most readily to my mind is the last three lines of NOBY, with Brian and Roger standing around the piano, pretending to be practicing vocals (for the song we just watched them pretend to perform), and the very bored-looking John just kind of sitting there between the two, nodding. |

It's a Hard Life makes me cringe.....especially looking at poor Roger in that get up. |

The middle of I want to break free is kind of out of place for me, they should have done more drag scenes :) |
| Penis - Vagina 15.09.2004 14:36 |
I'll think of more later, but the first thing that came to mind was the 're-animation' of the band in "Innuendo". It's an awesome video regardless, but I would have rather not seen the guys at all than have stuff from other videos manipulated like that. Especially when it's made to look like they're singing/performing things which they aren't. |

The Invisible Man video When the family comes to the boys room, the sister in the last minute looks at the camera ..... What a mistake! |

I love the video but when that part when everyone is in spandex it makes you think..man that is way out of place. But I do like seeing the guys in drag ha ha funny stuff there! |

Back chat!!! YEESH! |
| deleted user 15.09.2004 15:57 |
Las Palabras, where Roger was not really paying attention to the singing! Goodness! |
| Mayboy 15.09.2004 16:48 |
Back Chat is a bit cheesy lol and maybe Calling all girls |
| the oppositionist 15.09.2004 18:19 |
Thing about back chat is that t has no bloody point. i hate videos with no point to them. what does a whole load of electrical machinary with freddie moving near it have to do with a couple who argue all the time and the man wanting to have more say?! Calling all girls is the same. The doctory stuff has fuck all to do with calling girls. If it had been queen 'calling' al girls, say from telephone boxes, with loud speakers to crowds etc, then it would have made sense. |

Who wants to live forever where Brian pretends to read the notes for his guitar solo for the first time. |

The video of Another One Bites The Dust is just as bad as the song. |
| KJ 16.09.2004 11:18 |
The whole Body Language video is embarrassing. Freddie who is breathing heavily while showing his tonge. This song could very well be a Mr. Bad Guy track. No offence but it is obviously Freddie's song and it is only Freddie who is having the time of his life in this video. |
| SergeantPepperDG 16.09.2004 11:22 |
I agree. I only watched the Body Language video once, when I watched all of GVH II for the first time- now I couldn't bear to watch it again. |

LoL Brian_Mays_Wig. Sarcasm is the best form of humour. I hate Calling All Girls, Back Chat, and at the very end of Crazy Lil Thing, Freddie and the dancers kind of just walk off and it looks silly. |
| Roger_in_Tigerskin_Trousers 16.09.2004 15:03 |
The bit in Bo Rhap, when the headbanging part starts, and Brian steps back. It annoys me so much! looks like he's dancing |
| deleted user 16.09.2004 15:48 |
Isn't the AOBTD video was shot in the US? Why is the video so fucking dim? And Body Language too? The hippos in dresses was an awful stunt! |
| Gunpowder Gelatine 16.09.2004 15:59 |
Body Language, with the rest of the band trying to look interested while snapping. |
| brENsKi 16.09.2004 16:35 |
so what "we're" saying - in effect here - is that Queen - the pioneers of the rock video - made a shitload of shit rock videos? how's that for irony |
| BackToHuman 16.09.2004 17:29 |
seeing everyone complaining about the Body Language video....for me, the funniest (and best) part of the whole video is the scene at the bridge, when the rest of the band shows up, and tries desperately (yet non-chalantly) to pretend like they care (and yet not act like they're pretending to care). you can almost see it in Roger's eyes, "For the love of god, can we go back to that hand-clapping, foot-stomping shit?". that little section of the video makes it all almost worth watching to me. |
| The Real Wizard 16.09.2004 18:15 |
Calling All Girls is one of the few Queen videos to actually have a concept to it. I can't believe why it's bashed so much. It's one of the best ones... certainly leagues beyond most of the performance-based ones. |
| Zander05 16.09.2004 19:41 |
I just hate in Scandal where Brian does his solo and there's bits of paper falling on him. I don't get it. I don't really like Back Chat too much because the band, aside from Freddie, look like they'd rather be somewhere else. Of course, the beginning of Breakthru is a dissappointment - the cardboard wall starting to tip over too soon. I'm amazed nobody's mentioned that, yet. |
| YourValentine 17.09.2004 04:39 |
"Of course, the beginning of Breakthru is a dissappointment - the cardboard wall starting to tip over too soon. I'm amazed nobody's mentioned that, yet." That could not be helped because the wall was blown away by the airstream before the train hit. It was still a nice idea :) |
| iGSM 17.09.2004 07:41 |
Well obviously they should have used bricks. heh, I don't consider this bad but in Bohemian Rhapsody where John is staring directly into the camera...damn funny that. |
| BackToHuman 17.09.2004 09:09 |
i'm generally amused by so-called "performance" videos, because invariably, they'll show a certain member playing one thing while there's something else going on. examples: Las Palabras -- Brian playing his synth, completely neglecting his own guitar solo. TATDOOL -- Roger continuing to play congas even after the drumset has kicked in, musically. granted, i know it's being done for artistic purposes, and as a piece of art, sometimes these videos are quite brilliant and beautiful. but as "performances", it's completely unrealistic. anything else musically ridiculous in performance clips? |

" I just hate in Scandal where Brian does his solo and there's bits of paper falling on him. I don't get it " Scandal is about the British Press. You know, newspapers. What's not to get? |
| Rick 17.09.2004 14:01 |
What about Brian doing nothing during the 'Don't Stop me Now' video, how embarrassing, but that is just because there is no guitar until the solo. It's still embarrassing though. Also the video is too static. |

The whole Body Language video is embarrassing. I love that video it is so hott. I think freddie makes it look hot when he does the tounge thing. I want to break is one of my favs and i think the dancing part is extremely cool. I mean i love how freddie moves while they are rolling. It cracks me up as well. Freddie and rogers get up is the best though and freddie still having his moustache thats great. I have to say the worst video momemnt for queen though would be the animation in innuendo but i understand freddie was ill and i dont like freddies makeup in its a kind of magic it makes him look very pale. |
| Queenrocks4579 17.09.2004 17:48 |
Although there is only one bad part in body language and that is the big women i mean there are all these hot girls and then bam |
| BornToBeKings 17.09.2004 17:49 |
The abomination that is "It's A Hard Life" takes the cake. Also, "The Miracle" is pretty creepy to me, especially the Freddie kid. |

I don't like the kids annoying smile on his face as he sings "every drop of rain that falls in Sahara Desert says it all - it's a miracle" |
| Scirocco1977 18.09.2004 09:57 |
Oh come on. Don't you see that this kid was proud as a peacock doing Freddie? But I agree that it sometimes looks so cheesy. Don't like the Miracle-video either, but I understand that the kids felt damn good. |
