I honestly don't get it! am i alone in my love for this song? let me know lovelies. xx |

It's probably in my top ten of favorite Queen songs. |

xx I think its the video they don't like rather than the song, isn't it? No Roger said the song was Queen going throught the motions- very of it's time. |
| pow wow 24.07.2006 07:31 |
For me it's a bit of a watershed song. I remember watching for the first time and thinking how much weight Freddie had lost since the I Want it All & Breakthu vids. I started to wonder about the rumours................... Anyway, I must have liked the video as I bought the Miracle EP just for Scandal as I had promo vids of the rest. One of the best songs on The Miracle. |

I love Scandal! Especially the end part! |
| mattsmith 24.07.2006 08:45 |
I actually love the song, especially the bridge and the guitar solo. I can also understand why Roger wasn't keen on it. From the perspective of a drummer, it must have been quite boring for him to play, unlike the drum part for a live version of Now Im Here..... |

I LOVE SCANDAL!!!!!!!! Its pure genious! |
| deleted user 24.07.2006 10:27 |

great song, I love it! |
| Al TurHao 24.07.2006 12:22 |
mercurysparrow: i don't believe Brian does not like the song, since it's one of his songs. mattsmith: Sorry to disappoint you and most of all you fans, but there is little real drum work in the Miracle album. It's mostly all programmed drums. By the way... I LOVE the song. :) |

"Scandal" is a great song, actually. It's on my top 10 list of favored Queen songs. |
| roy_fokker 24.07.2006 14:51 |
Great song. It would have been great also live... |
| Queen_Rox 24.07.2006 15:12 |
scandal's a great song. |
| rocks. 24.07.2006 15:55 |
AHH! I ADORE this song!! I just love how Freddie sings "here comes the bad news, open the flood gates!" I dunno, that bit just seems vocally powerful, I love this song. |
| Daburcor? 24.07.2006 16:00 |
Scandal is great. Now, I think I'll have to go give it a listen... It's been a while! |
| mercury_sparrow 24.07.2006 18:17 |
yay! and i can sleep well at night, knowing i am not alone haha yeah, i think brian said the song meant a lot to him, coz of all the media shit he was going through at the time. but he agrees with roger in that it could have been a tad better done. xx |
| queenlegends 24.07.2006 20:01 |
Yes This is one of my all time favourite queen songs, I think the video could have been a bit better but the video I really like anyway. I would love to hear this done in the paul rodgers and queen concert, I would even like a tribute band to cover this one. |
| rocks. 24.07.2006 20:08 |
I actually dont mind the video, I love the look on Freddie's face, LOL! But that chubby guy with the newspaper scares me! |
| KillerQueen1429 24.07.2006 21:48 |
LOVE the song....one of my faves! |
| TheGame 24.07.2006 21:50 |
Turn the stereo on max, and press play....love this song!! |
| Winter Land Man 24.07.2006 22:59 |
I'm in the US and the song just didn't chart. People prefered mainstream rock more (I Want It All) and I Want It All was a common heard radio track according to a few fans on this forum. But my girlfriend was on her way to work and heard Scandal played, due to another Queen fan requesting this track to be played, and I'm in a small town. |
| DreaminQueen 24.07.2006 23:07 |
LOVE THE SONG! Freddies vocals blow me away and give me chills everytime, all the raw emotions there. I really enjoy the lyrics too because you can tell it was something clearly taken from life experience. I love Bri's guitar solo as well in it and the riff grabs hold of my mind and replays itself all the time... Now that i've been talking about it, i must go put on my MP3 Player... |
| mike hunt 25.07.2006 00:49 |
like the song, love the vocal and the lryics. I think the song could have been better with the weak drumming, roger was not a very good drummer anymore in the 80's, and the guitar could have been just a little heavier. |
| Sweetie 25.07.2006 00:56 |
I think Rogers comentary on the GH2 is awesome, he just whines.... but yeah, That song is awesome...I rather the Miracle but that song is still pretty bloody coolio! |
| dtucra 25.07.2006 03:15 |
It's a wonderful song and so is the video, as all the others axtracted from The Miracle album. Freddie was too weak for outrageous things, but still did his very best that year. And i hate Bri and Rog for all the "regrets" expressed on GVH 2, b/c they sound almost as a reproach. The great man was sick, alright? He just couldn't do live anymore! Do we always have to bring this up?! |
| mercury_sparrow 25.07.2006 03:46 |
the filmclip was kinda "cold" as bri and rog put it but freddie is just so adorable in it, with his funny lil antics and thrusts and such... makes me smile every time. he looks so sick though... i hate it, but i love it, you know? xx |

His weight loss since IWIA is drastic. |

Actually, he looks like a hitman in the video to me. Honestly, he does! He looks far different than normal, but most people who didn't know Freddie had AIDS, wouldn't of thought he did. I know a lot of people who don't know much about Freddie's illness, thought he looked great with a beard. |
