@@lipby - not really... the only tools/methods available for pitch correction in the 70's were Varispeed on tape machines and Evantide H910 Harmonizer. Varispeed was incredibly laborious... and using the H910 induced digital artifacts when the original pitch was too radically altered. These tools/methods were extremely limited in what they could do. It wasn't until the 1980's, when the Fairlight CMI came out, allowing a graphical waveform (like in a contemporary DAW) of a sound that could be analyzed for pitch, and a replacement recorded into the Fairlight to be pasted in to replace the off-pitch section. It was easier to just re-record the part.

Brian May's guitar "Red Special" is truly one of a kind. He designed and built it with his father, Harold, when he was a teenager. This was due to him not being able to afford a brand name guitar. If you read into it you will realize how much of a genius Brian May is. Everything on the guitar is custom or modified in some way. The craziest part is the neck which was made out of a 100 year old fireplace mantle that had worm holes that Brian filled with matchsticks and epoxy.

Maggie, many years ago (more than I care to mention) when this song was released as a single, I used to DJ in Pubs & Clubs. The day it was released I was working in one of my regular gigs and played Bo Rap. The owner shouted across the Pub for all to hear "What the F**k is this Shite", after the track had finished, I had a bet with her (a week's wages which at the time was £20.00, not to be sniffed at) that next week it would be #1 in the charts and she would be begging me to play it. I won the bet.

The number of overdubs doesn't have to do with digital or analogue. If you want 200 voices, you have to record 200 voices. The number of tracks is the issue that necessitated bounces (from several tracks to one (or two for stereo)). There were 24 track digital tape machines in the 80s.

I watched the whole Live Aid concert on TV. It was a long, long show, lots of great acts, but Queen’s performance-damn! I guess Elton John was backstage and shouted “you bastards” after their set, because he had to go on after that. (David Bowie was immediately after.). There’s an apocryphal story that someone once asked Freddie if he played anything other than the piano, and he answered, “the audience, darling.” So very true! If you haven’t seen their Live Aid set you really do have to watch it to see what he meant. Great reaction, Maggie! Sorry I missed the livestream!

When you say has anyone seen them live, that depends whether you mean Queen live 1971 to 1986, or the years since without Freddie Mercury and John Deacon, Queen plus if you like. I saw Queen with Freddie and John four times. I regret not seeing them in the 1970s but the first three times I saw them was from 1980-1982, when they were, officially, the biggest band in the world (in terms of sales and influence), and though still great live in 1984-1986, I believe their best live period was 1979-1982. But any Queen show from 1971-1986 was special. Many of them have been recorded. It was certainly an experience seeing them in that era. Freddie was a unique performer.

There are more people that listen to and who have discovered Queen in their youth in the past 10 yrs than any other singer in history. Queen was such a smash and still is ,, like I said millions of young people have been turned on to these guys ( mainly Freddy) and they are the most watched band / singer. 1970 I was 6. Haha. Freddy was and still is the most influential and idolized singer of any other performer. All the other groups at LIVE AID actually got a little jealous and upset because ( and they all said) damnit Queen totally stole the whole show. Even Elton said it. Queen is an absolutely amazing band but Freddy made the band,, he was beyond a legend and icon. A rock god doesn't begin to describe him and his awesomeness.

I was only a child when this came out, and when I was a teenager i chose other bands to be a fan of, such as Pink Floyd, Rush, Deep Purple and Iron Maiden, but I always admired these guys for their talent. If you want recommendations of Queen's songs, some of them are underrated, no one reacts to them - I don't know why - and you could be the one to do it: "One vision"; "A kind of Magic"; "Save me"; "Who wants to live forever"; "Don't stop me now"; and the way these guys found to say goodbye to Freddie - the sad and beautiful "Show must go on" - it was told, by that time, that Freddie was ill when he recorded this song (the official music video is a compilation of the band's footages, all along their career, but Freddie is not seen singing it, only his voice is heard). R.I.P., Freddie!

Saw them around 1976. This was when Freddie had long hair. I wasnt much into them at this point. Well after the show i was into them. They rocked a lot harder in concert then how they sound on record. Much like Nightwish. I was sitting at the back of the auditorium and when Freddie came out on stage his aura literally knocked me off my feet. His persona was off the charts. Then Brian Mays guitar solo/playing during this song reminded me of Jimmy Page playing. Oh did i mention that the warm up band didnt show up. They played like 3.5 hrs. It is definitely in my top 5 concerts that i have ever attended.

Same for me. I didn't know what to expect 1974. After it was over I knew I was witnessing greatness.

First remembered experience was from the Wayne's World movie. Then in late 90s my aunt died and I got some of her cd collection. Queen's Greatest album let me listen to many of these songs for myself. It is one thing to hear them occasionally on the radio; but to sit in your own time with headphones or stereo is a different experience.

I graduated High School in 1976 so this song was huge for me. When it came on the car radio my brother and I would belt it out just like the scene from Wayne's World. It's funny that Mike Myers put that scene in the movie then played the record exec in Bohemian Rhapsody who didn't want to irelease it.

In middle school our Chorus teacher chose this song for the class to perform. We had a blast. She had us sing the operatic part in groups like left/right in headphones. I am old, yes.

Did you ever hear that song he did with a real opera (?) singer, something Caballero? She was initially very skeptical, and didn't know anything about him. It was for the football world championship in Spain, I think. Afterwards she said she could tell he wasn't a trained singer, as such, but was positively impressed by how he performed on their duet.

I'd love to see you react to Queen+Adam Lambert performing Who wants to live forever at Isle of Wright 2016. It was just a day after the Orlando nightclub shooting. The way Adam sings it wrecks me every time. Roger Taylor later commented on his performance, saying “I've never heard it sung like that, that’s special.”

The first section is Freddie over dubbed five times. The video shows them lip syncing but it is only Freddie's voice. John does not sing at all, only a bit live. I was 13 when it came out and saw them live when I was 14. Queen was unique and a total revelation. They were incredibly talented musicians. Roger Taylor's high vocals made them even more unique. The opera part was Brian, Roger and Freddie. Brian built his own guitar so it sounded completely different and made the unique Queen sound.

Sorry. Roger and Brian sing. John did back vocals when they wanted the full force of the vocals with all 4 of them
