Things You Hear on Headphones that you don't hear without them!
| queen mercury 33542 25.08.2006 02:25 |
Okay. Guys, I know this may sound crazy, but have you ever listened to a queen song on headphones and heard something in a song, a few words that you didn't catch, and you'd have to listen close? Everyone who has the live in Wemley cd, listen to love of my life, and tell me if you can hear this. After Freddie says, I still love you, and the crowd dies down a bit, I can hear him whisper, "It's okay." You have to listen close. At least, I think that's what he says. Can you hear it? And is there anyone else who has thought or knows they have heard something on theirheadphones that they can't hear on their boombox or stareo? |
| deleted user 25.08.2006 02:32 |
Yeah, I heard that after The crowd dies down, I was actually wondering if anyone else had. and on Anotherone Rides The Bus by Weird Al Yankovic, I swear you can hear random stuff going on in the background that you cant hear on the CD. I'm not sure about anything else... |
| pcgenius9 25.08.2006 03:28 |
Theres all sorts of things. Even down to Brians laugh before All Right Now on ROTC. |
| deleted user 25.08.2006 04:16 |
you can hear all sorts of things when you are stuck in your room at the other end of the house (mind you your room needs to be as big as mine: you can only talk about 3 steps around my bed and desk) |

I've never heard that. I have to take a look at that one later today (when I'm not at school) I once heard that there was some sound in middle of Freddie's vocal solo in The Prophe's Song that when you hear it once.. you always hear it when you listen to the song. I didn't wanna look for it because I'm afraid it would get too annoying :P Like the door in Loser In The End but the door is pretty cool :P The sound in Prophet's song is suppost to be annoying. Anyone heard that one? |
| FriedChicken 25.08.2006 05:53 |
Yeah, I discovered it when I was doing a little project on strange unintentional sounds in Queen songs. I still don't know what the sound in Prophets Song is. But whatever it is, it's recorded at the same time Freddie is singing (since you hear it twice... I think Freddie accidentily touches the microphone stand. |

what door in loser in the end? |
| kohuept 25.08.2006 10:51 |
liam wrote: what door in loser in the end?Right after '...goodbye, ma" Anyone hear the vocal "duplication" of the bass riff toward the end of The Miracle? There are also little claps or snaps that just aren't quite with the beat. One of the most annoying things (for me) in a Queen song is the "don't do it, don't do it..." in Don't Try Suicide. It is overdubbed and 'stereoified' EXCEPT for briefly after a "yeah!" After hearing it in the surround mix, I enjoy listening for Brian singing "nnn nnn nnn...calling you" in the first chorus of '39. Wow...anything else...? |

What noise in The Prophet's Song? |
| queen mercury 33542 25.08.2006 15:00 |
In the Prophit's song, that noise ould be a guitar string, or something like a microphone too close or something. I am not sure what that little humming noise is. |
| Deacon Fan 25.08.2006 15:17 |
There's a lot of very low volume studio talk in between tracks on the big Freddie box. I use headphones almost exclusively now for music. |
| Rick 25.08.2006 15:22 |
I always thought that sound was John's bass in the Prophet's Song. |
| Carol! the Musical 25.08.2006 16:18 |
Oh, oh, OH! I have one! It's not something you can only hear on headphones necessarily, because my stereo has a special feature, but listen anyways! :P You know in The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke? Listen to the part that says "satyr peers under lady's gown". Listen close. Freddie's voice ( I'm not even sure if it's him... ) sounds *so* high pitched. Like a child, even. :0 |
| Daniel vZ 25.08.2006 16:36 |
That's just Freddie without any pitching ;) |
| queen mercury 33542 25.08.2006 21:44 |
I'll listen to the prophit's song tonight and see what I come up with. That might be John's base. Also, yes. That is Freddie saying something like, it's okay during love of my life at the Wemley show. |

| Rikke 26.08.2006 15:07 |
Oh, I know I've heard something, but can't think of it right now, and I can't hear music right now. I don't remember if it is in a Queen-song or a Beatles-song, but I think I've once heard someone laughing in a song. Just a tiny giggle. I remember hearing it in a Beatles-song, now I get to think about it, but I think Brian might have laughed a bit in one of his own songs... Probably not right xD But I love listening to all those tiny detailes! |
| Asterik 26.08.2006 16:44 |
on IGSM, you can hear Fred hold "maa---aad" on the final chorus between "just very slightly" and "And there you have it". |
| Daniel vZ 26.08.2006 19:26 |
In Loser In The End you can hear (at 1min 32sec) a very soft "yea" on the background. Can't figure out who it is. |
| queen mercury 33542 26.08.2006 19:39 |
On what song can you hear Freddie say hold the last line or whatever? Sorry. I can't understand the abriviations to some queen songs. |

Queen Mercury wrote: On what song can you hear Freddie say hold the last line or whatever? Sorry. I can't understand the abriviations to some queen songs.On "I'm Going Slighlty mad" he means. But I think what he means is nothing special, it's just a reverb/echo from the word "mad" freddie sings. At 3min. 52/53sec. in the right speaker, a few seconds before that you can hear it too. |
| Asterik 27.08.2006 16:40 |
well I couldn't hear it before, Daniel. maybe I'm going deaf. |
| Poo, again 27.08.2006 16:52 |
While listening to Now I'm Here on headphones I heard "Rog is dead, miss him, miss him." |
| flash! 28068 27.08.2006 17:17 |
A very distinctive farting noise. I persume from John Deacon. He isn't so innocent as people think. |

Please do not post in this topic if you haven't got anything useful to say. :/ |
| thenymphinyellow 28.08.2006 07:39 |
I know that everyone has probably heard these before... but.... in good old fashioned lover boy I love it how in the back ground at maybe the last chorus? he says underneath theres my good old fashioned lover boy oooh ooooooh... hehee but my favourite background bits are the almost evil laughs that freddie does in random spots... eg, WIAWI - 'yes it was a worthwhile expierience! hahahahaha' hehehe! I love it! |

I really doubt the noise in Prophets Song is guitar or bass guitar. It just doesn't make sense since the song was recorded in section. |
| zaiga 28.08.2006 08:42 |
Something I never noticed, until I read it on that website about Freddie's highest and lowest notes, was that Freddie sang along with Brian's guitar solo on Great King Rat with a very high pitched falsetto! |
| kohuept 14.09.2006 18:47 |
Just remembered this one... With headphones and the surround mix, just before (I think) the guitar solo in DSMN, Freddie yells "Let loose, honey!". For some reason I always thought it was "Don't stop me!" |
| rocks. 14.09.2006 19:13 |
Ok, everybody listen to The Miracle and at 3:49 just after freddie says "today!" and John starts in with that awesome bass you can hear freddie humming along with the bass "ba ba bud ah bu da da", its so cool! |
| Sergei. 14.09.2006 20:15 |
Anyone heard in We Will Rock You, after the first, *Stomp Stomp Clap* you hear kind of a low voice, maybe John's? I don't know... |

| Markman38 15.09.2006 03:46 |
Yeah listen to Dragon Attack you can hear the baspart going on and that is the sound you hear from the headphones of Freddie. In thte final mix thte cut the basspart there but by thte headphones you can stilkl hear it |
| [StArMaN] 15.09.2006 05:29 |
One of the things that never let you after hearing it : the famous "yeah" at 1'51" in "Action This Day", later re-used as the end of "It's A Beautiful Day" in MIH. :) |
| Deacon Fan 15.09.2006 06:47 |
Oh I got one. The No More Brothers extended mix of /Living on My Own\ has a bad left channel glitch at :28. Looking at the waveform, it's like a big gap. They didn't fix it for the new CD either. It's that way on the big box too. |
| SK 15.09.2006 08:26 |
I heard in many Queen songs you can hear Brian May moaning and whining over MySpace/Computers on the left and right channels. |
| Bohemian MAY-niac/Deaconite 15.09.2006 11:30 |
I listened to "WWRY" last night and I heard the voice after the first "Stomp, stomp, clap". I'm still trying to figure out who that low voice belongs too. |

I'd say Freddie on the WWRY-thing. But again, I just heard it now, and I can't turn it up too loud :b |
| kdj2hot 15.09.2006 17:17 |
At about the 2:27 mark of Bohemian Rhapsody right at the tail end of the anyway the wind blows and before the "i doon't wanna die" you here someone speak something. I noticed that years ago when I first bought Queen Greatest hits 1 and 2 and took it back cause I thought something was wrong witn\h the cd (I was just a kid) and the replacement had i8t too. Anyone know anything about that? |

| queen mercury 33542 15.09.2006 23:35 |
Okay. I don't think he's crazy. There is a part in bohemian rapsody right before the sillowette part, you hear freddie say now, as if he's directing the band. Listen closely. You can especially hear it on the dvd version of a night at the opera, but you can also hear it on the original album. |

I noticed that towards the end of Stone Cold Crazy, you can hear someone making a sort of gurgling/moaning noise, like in the back of their throat. I think it's Freddie. Sounds like him... |

They were all trying to get him to sing, but he refused, so the three went down on him and tickled him till he screamed. The tape happened to be recording, and when they played it back and discovered the yells, Freddie demanded it to be put into the song immediately. |

Okay. To the person who wanted to know where the part os in borap, here are the lines befora and after. The I don't wanna die, I sometimes wish I've never been born at all. And then that instrumental. Right on the sillowette part right after the break, you hear freddie say now! Then it says I see a little sillowette. I hope that helps. |

I have a pet macaw (it scares me) and it sounds exactly the same...I hear something like that at the beginning of Back Chat. You can also hear a quick "Thank You" from Freddie at the end of SWaFIB. As for the WWRY thing, it definitely is Brian counting "four". He admitted to this a while back. I can't figure out what Freddie's mumbles are on TYMD either. It reminds me of Billy Joel's My Life. You can isolate the vocal in the center channel of the surround mix, though. I don't think you can for TYMD. I'll have to try. |
| queen mercury 33542 19.09.2006 16:05 |
Okay. So what are the abriviations for the songs you mention? At the end, you hear Freddie saying thank you in what song? And he mumbles something at the end of what? Thanks. Queen Mercury By the way, listen to that part on borap and tell me if you hear what I'm telling you all about. |

I've heard that part on the show must go on silly. Smile. It's part of the lyrics. It's okay though. I can understand how that could be something you had never noticed. For example, in Let Me intertain you, I never noticed that at the end of that song, Freddie says brian may is the best! I'd never noticed that. |

With headpones : I hear music. Without headphones : I hear this weird humming noise and a faint spinny sound. Actually, most of the stuff on here, I've heard with the player just playing, no heaphones plugged it... Oh, I did notice when a pair of my headphoes went dead in one ear since the whole left side of "The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke" was gone... |
| Poo, again 20.09.2006 16:02 |

| Bohemian MAY-niac/Deaconite 20.09.2006 21:55 |
Ok, here's something that I just discovered today while listening to "Another One Bites The Dust. After Freddie sings the first line of the final refrain (Another one bites the dust...), you can hear someone either sneeze, cough, or wheeze in the background. It's very faint so you have to listen closely. See if you can catch it. ;-) |
| DeeEmm 21.09.2006 04:44 |
I...was being sarcastic, I'm sorry. But to be serious, the fadeout from The Show Must Go On actually have very, very, very, very, VERY faint two-beat drum thingies. It's practically impossible to hear unless you have the volume on really high. There you go. |
