I have Queen's Made in Heaven cd where Made in Heaven is the second song. I also have Made in Heaven on the Freddie Mercury solo cd Mr. Bad Guy and dvd. Gosh, Made in Heaven on the solo release is so much better - so soft, so sweet, soooooooo beautiful. I love driving around with it playing full blast while I sing my heart out. Love that solo album - the high notes, the low notes, and everything in between. Exquisite!
'Made In Heaven' sounds awful on Mr.Bad Guy, but on the 1995 MIH album sound far much better.
Also 'I Was Born To Love You' and all the songs re-worked for MIH are miles better than their original versions.
I still think 'My Life Has Been Saved' was better on the '89 version, and 'Heaven For Everyone' would've been nice with the spoken section in the middle.

You're right. Though I love the Mr. Bad Guy album, every song from there that has been re-worked by Queen is even better.
so the queen version it is, but the mr. bad album has grown on me, i now think it's a good album, i was born to love you, i think is equal, one is a good dance track amd the other is a good pop/rock track with some mean guitar and drums.
I think you're mad anyway.
Just slightly, though. Hence your name.

FREDDIES VERSION IS WAY BETTER
it was always intended by Freddie as a POP song and not a ROCK song ... and I think people should respect this
and I think Queen had not the right to rework it,
this is one of the reasons why Made In Heaven ist the poorest of all of Queen's albums.
My madness was caused by a silver hammer in possession of Maxwell.
I still maintain that there's a "Queen" (yes "'s not ''s) version of Mr Bad Guy too. Not that it was on MiH but I'm damned sure there's a "Queen" version.
Queen version. The MIH version sounds like it could have been a Queen original. Brian's guitar is majestic. Got to give credit to Freddie for the great foundation of the song.

This coming from the fellow who sang 'Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is?'.
I listened to them both again last night. MIH on the solo album brings me to tears every time. I can only repeat it a few times or I turn into a sobbing mess. Same with Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow. I didn't like the solo album at first because it wasn't that familiar hard-driving Queen sound, but it has become my favorite.
I like both myself but give the edge on both counts to Queen. Roger's drums come in like cannons before the solo on MIH is like yelling FIRE! IWBTLY was turned from a dance hit into a full out rocker and the DW drums sound much better than drum machines and Brian's guitars made it rock.
