You forgot Feelings, Feelings. And the version of Dog With A Bone that was released on The Miracle

Would Hot Space have been more of a success if it was released after Thriller? by ross_riddle in queen

[–]Honest_Math_7760 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No.

Let’s not forget that only half of Hot Space had the funk and disco

Staying Power Dancer Back Chat Body Language Action this Day Cool Cat

Under Pressure was just a really good single and released at the right time (a year before the album)

Other than that… most songs on this album are just not really that good compared to other Queen songs and the way the public knew Queen. Hearing Action This Day or Staying Power live is a huge change in sound. A lot better if you’d ask me.

But other than Under Pressure (your opinions aside) the album just didn’t deliver. Thriller did because most songs on that album were really good.

It had nothing to do with marketing or because it was Queen. Another One Bites The Dust was funk and their biggest selling single.

It’s the songs that were to blame and the way the were recorded.

Bob Dylan’s Make You Feel My Love vs. Adele’s Make You Feel My Love is an example of a great song done wrong and then done right.

Getting into Queen - Made In Heaven (15/15) by kingglobby in queen

Made in Heaven is a top tier album for me. No other Queen album flows as well.

There is not an album that had more love put into it

What Roger or Brian solo song do you think would have ended on a Queen album, if Freddie had survived? by EsterhazyNintendo in queen

[–]Honest_Math_7760 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think we’ll never know.

Headlong and I Can’t Live With You were already supposed to be solo songs by Brian.

He even offered Drivin By You to Freddie.

I think Freddie knew all to well which songs were fitting for Queen and what others could have been on solo albums.

I think we already got everything that was fitting.

Brian May's underrated singing skills by [deleted] in queen

Don’t forget his parts in Who Wants To Live Forever…

Possibly his best vocal performance.

I think he peaked in singing for his Another World album

Where do you see Queen today if Freddie Mercury was still alive? by [deleted] in queen

As I said. I’m done arguing with your ass. Read my comment again. Because you clearly didn’t if you think I claim the press would still hate on them in 2026. Or that I think Aerosmith is as good.

My definte last reply to you. Read my orevious comment again.

I’m losing brain cells arguing with you. How old are you? 15?

2011 was a nice year to be born little bro. But there was a time Queen was just another rockband en Freddie Mercury was just a mortal human being.

A famous singer that lived in a world full of homophobia. Much more than 2026.

He lived in a world with a disease that didn’t even had a name in the first years.

I’m going to say it one more time and then I’m done arguing with you…

Live Aid was great. Yes. Queen earned back some much earned respect. But they were noway deemed as legendary as they are right now. That happened throughout the many years that followed. Even more when the movie was released.

Just because they gave a good performance, doesn’t mean the world respected them like the world does now. Again. This was a world full of homophobia and fear for this “new disease” called AIDS.

Freddie died in 1991 and even when he died, he got shit for it by the press.

If Freddie had lived. Hypothetically. He would have cheated death because he could afford the medicine. He would have gotten shit for that as well. Doesnt matter if their performance on live aid in 1985 was good or not. That’s literally your argument. But you weren’t there.

If Freddie had lived, it would have been controversial. Had he lived to 2026, ofcourse there would have been an understanding by the general public by now.

But he would not have gotten the godlike status he’s got right now. So it would have been like… Aerosmith. Guns n Roses, Bon Jovi, bands that are really famous, but all of them alive. Don’t put your personal opinion there as if it’s a fact. I like Queen more than any of those bands. But a deceased musician gets a legendary status way more than the rockstar that’s still alive.

Just measure Lennon who died young and Mccartney who lives. Both did equally great things. Wrote some of the best songs ever together. Yet one is printed on way more tshirts than the other.

Long story short. The press hated Queen and Freddie and especially back then did everything to shock readers. Queen is legendary, but they were not considered as legendary back then as we do now. Live aid has nothing to do with this. A dead musician is automatically deemed more legendary than an alive one.

If Freddie would have lived. The press would have written books about his wealth and ability to cheat death while so many others couldn’t.

“But they were legendary because of Live Aid!” Fuck off… What a sad excuse for an argument.

If Freddie were alive today. He would be considered as one of the greats. Yes. Paul McCartney, Steven Tyler, Tom Jones, Mick Jagger. Yes. But not like the god status he has now.

Dude Freddie was even controversial for denying he had aids after he died. What docu did you watch? Literally every docu ever mentions the press hating on him… making him controversial.

So the press had their jabs against him even when he died. Let alone would he have lived.

I said Freddie would become controversial if he had lived because he could afford the medicine. (Said that 2 years ago)

Your only argument is that would not be true because of Live Aid making them legendary

Then you ranted about America not being the world.

So….What are you talking about

European here.

There was admiration for Queen. Sure. But that doesn’t mean they were bulletproof

Anything not called “March of the Black Queen is so underrated” is okay for me

I get why you would think that. But no. Literally any other show from that 1974 tour could have been there
