You are joking right? The Call has to be the worst thing that Brian has ever written. If it comes with a mile of the new album I won't buy it.
I love this song. Of Course it will not be in the new album(because it is a Queen-Bri/Rog song, not a Queen+PR song) but maybe could appear as a b-side!
It was said somewhere that the songs written and recorded for the 46664 project would remain for the 46664 project and not for a Queen/QPR album, so it's unlikely that we'll ever see 'The Call' or any other song from those sessions on a studio release.
(boop beep beep beep boop, make that fucking call!)

I think the worst thing that Brian has ever written is StarFleet ...

I hate to be a nitpicker, but Brian didn't actually WRITE "Starfleet". He just arranged it as a rock song and recorded it with some friends. The song along with the entire soundtrack of the TV show was written by Paul Bliss.
I like "The Call" - it's very powerful indeed, but I prefer the live version. The demo that appeared on the radio sounds WAY too unpolished.

That's a shame. I'd love to hear a version of Say It's Not True with Brian's contributions.

That's Eric Singer (KISS, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Brian May, Queen (Brian and Roger), SAS Band, Paul Stanley, Gary Moore, Badlands, Lita Ford, ESP) on drums.
He's an excellent drummer and a great singer.
RE: upstages Roger
Roger, due to his age, and while still a great drummer, is not the same drummer he was in the '70s.
Eric was brought in to beef up the sound for Queen, play drums when Roger didn't play drums, but sang lead vocals, and he was also the drummer for many of the other performers at that concert.
Sorry but Eric Singer sucks.
Take a listen to any of the Another World shows and then listen to a show from the Back to the Light tour. Eric Singer is not even close to Cozy Powell.

I agree, this song IS amazing! PLEASE Brian if you read this RELEASE the studio version in some format if only for me! It is one of my favourite songs ever! PLLLEEEAAASSSEE! x
Re: "The Call" - I liked the idea of the guitar riff being based on the sound of dialing 4-6-6-6-4 on a touchtone. I always liked the TV show "The Prisoner", so the "Are you a man or just a number?" line appealed to me. But otherwise, I liked it not so much. Well-intentioned and even noble sentiment but the execution was lacking - or at least based on the one live performance and the dodgy quality radio broadcast recording of the studio track. Its not suited to Brian's voice and its completely hits you over the head and smacks your face with those hamfisted lyrics. But I suppose it could be turned into something decent. It seems like the whole 46664 thing has run out of steam, so I don't expect to hear a studio version anytime soon. I'm always in favor of more being released as opposed to less.
Okay, the song was very much of a "Queen hard rocking anthem", like the ones that we all love, and it sounded good. BUT... Those lyrics only fits in with this special occasion. They only made sense at that very moment. It is not fitted for a studio album, altough maybe as a B-side on a single. I think there's no way that a song like that can be on an album.
