I'm sure any Queen fan here saw it,but I never did till now and man is it an amazing classic,a nice song a neat and strangely visual video,a true Queen classic! Man,was this the sort of thing that was going through Freddie's mind when he created that song with the others? Gives Rennassiance a whole new meaning.(Sorry if I didn't spell it right there.) I wonder why Vh1 classic never aired it? Man,I have gotta get the Works album! |

I must agree with you there! I love this song, Freddie's voice is so powerful, and the lyrics are like *ahhh*. It's also way cool to play on the piano. :-D |
| IwearWigs 17.02.2006 23:38 |
Good video yeah. Why hasnt vh1 played Invisible Man and The Miracle also? Weird |
| All I Hear Is Radio Gaga 18.02.2006 00:45 |
Great, probably one of my favorite slow ballads. |
| dagi 18.02.2006 05:26 |
I like it,too. It does remind me of Play The Game though. |
| Asterik 18.02.2006 10:57 |
Yes, "It's a free world" and "it's a long hard fight" are musical siblings I suppose. I love both songs though. IHA sounds even better live. |

It's hard life it's a beatiful song with great text, Freddie's vocal and Brian's solo. I think that video to hard life is one of the best. This is one of my favorite Queen lovesong and the best song from The Works. |

I also got to see 2 more classic Queen videos that night(I forgot to mention this was at the usual and helpful place:YOU.TUBE.COM) Scandal and Body Language. Scandal was good,showing that even with Aids,it never slowed Freddie down,he was great in that video. BL had a pretty hip song,but the video had some bad lighting in it and was a bit too risque and silly,probably a lesser known classic huh? |
| deleted user 18.02.2006 12:57 |
The video is so amazing. I could watch it for hours and hours and still love it! |
| Chamo25 18.02.2006 13:35 |
IMO It's a Hard Life is the best Queen video ever. I love when he's sitting on the table singing and the old drunk man laying on the table in the background...excellent!! |

OMG... I love this song video everything about it... Its amazing... *sighs* This is one song that always pops into my head everyday at least once. I wonder why VH1 doesnt play more classic videos by anyone on normal cable, outside of digital, as i do not get VH1 Classic channel. I think VH1 has strayed quite a bit from music lately, i still like it though. But i do wish theyd play more classic vids on a more regular basis. |

i have a poster of its a hard life from the 70s :D |
| The prophet's song 18.02.2006 20:53 |
I'm lovin Freddies giant prawn costume! If you listen to the commentary on the video, Roger doesn't seem to like it, he says things like "John looks like a horse". Anyway, I thik it's great aswell! |
| Chamo25 19.02.2006 01:00 |
Jamie: A poster of "It's a Hard Life" from the 70's? I doubt it. That song was released in the 80's.... |

Yeah...Great song...fantastic video...awesome solo...Best Queen-song from the 80s! |
| FriedChicken 28.03.2006 16:33 |
what does Rennassiance have to do with it? |
| SomebodyWhoLoves 28.03.2006 17:35 |
WOW is right. But I have a different opinion of it than yours. Look at Brian, Roger, and John's faces. They look embarrassed, and once again, Freddie IS embarrassing. I keep repeating this but it's true. Freddie Mercury of the 80s is embarrassing. |
| SomebodyWhoLoves 28.03.2006 17:42 |
If I were Brian, Roger, or John, I wouldn't want this video to appear on MTV or VH1. Keep it buried deep below. It's a total embarrassment. The Great Band known as Queen, creators of Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the Champions, We Will Rock you is reduced to a laughing stock. Good gawd. Freddie sure was tacky!! I was half expecting to see Freddie "MOON" us again. I keep expecting to see that now. I'm emotionally scarred person. |
| SomebodyWhoLoves 28.03.2006 17:50 |
His hand motions were embarrassing. What the hell was he doing with his hands? What the hell was he doing with his arms? *shakes his head* Anyone else miss the old days of 70s when Queen were awesome? Freddie strutting on the stage, moving like lightening. Do you know which video was the best they ever made? I think it's Bohemian Rhapsody. That was classic. Save me was another good one. Some 80s videos were ok, like A Kind of Magic. But most of them were embarrassing clunkers. |

Great pic calcium! Oh dear Mr "SomebodyWhoLoves" seems to be most offended by the IAHL video. I'm sure Bohemian Rhapsody was groundbreaking back in the 70's but the group would have been slated if they'd just repeated that same idea over and over. Sure "It's a Hard Life" is over the top...it was meant to be. I think it was Brian that commented on the irony of the lyrics with all the scenes of hedonistic excess..that's the point! Personally I find it hilarious but if I come across a video I don't like, I just press "next", you don't have to torture yourself and sit through it you know! |

VH1 doesn't play all the videos because they are less known, but too known to play. Strange, but they either play hits or totally non-hits. They did play I Want To Break Free and Breakthru but that was more recent. The Miracle (the single) wasn't released in the USA, so the video wasn't played. MTV used to play Headlong in the 90s. |

I think this was one of freddies best songs in general. I always liked the video, It was pure freddie in my opinion. then I heard rogers comments on GH2 and felt he says these things because knows deep inside that he could never be as creative and original as freddie was. I admit I like the song better than the video, but the video is still fun. Roger, Get over yourself!...I know you want people to think you were the cool one, but give me a break, you were easily the least original member of queen! |
