Topic: Queen eh? Posted: August 30 2005 at 03:03 |
...Then why not add toto? To very similar bands as they both:
Make pop songs that somtimes exceeds 5 minutes and with a rhytm diffrent than 4/4 and then counts as progressive.
Have really bad vocalists
Have guitarists that could go on forever while playing some boring guitar solo.
Have very unorginal lyrics or just plain dumb lyrics.
Is crap

Freddie Mercury, bad vocalist??????
I'm no big Fan of Queen, but I cant think of any rock vocalist who could sing as well as him. As for them being in the archives, I have my reservations too, but please try to recognise genuine musical skill when it jumps up and bites you so obviously on the arse.
Please dont try to argue that Bruce 'Air raid Siren' Dickinson is a better singer than Mercury..

How can I disagree?
Freddie Mercury had an impressive range and was indeed one of the most versatile vocalists ever!
And his songwriting skills are hardly arguable.
As a matter of fact, I can't think of any other rock band in which every member penned at least one huge hit (apart from the obvious Mercury or May songs, we have Radio GaGa and A Kind of Magic by Roger Taylor and Another one bites the Dust and I want to break free by John Deacon)

You have a lot to learn when you try to put Queen and Toto on the same level ... why don't you email Bruce and ask him what he thinks about Freddie Mercury's vocals? Or even better - email him your post and ask for comments ...
BTW: I don't like Toto, except for their brilliant album "Mindfields".

I generally don't like male vocalists who tries to sing like girls..sorry not my thing
And just because they have had major hits dont certainly mean that the music is good. The songwritings skills on any of the queen members in non present

You don't know anything about music, sorry. Only a completely uneducated person would say that. Ask ANYBODY who plays an instrument, they'll simply laugh at you. Or - as I suggested above - ask any of the musicians which you like, you'll always get the same answer.
Sorry if that sounds rude ... it's only the truth.

Oh please ive got 4 queen albums and the only song that is likable is Boheimian rhapsody and even that song is way silly. The rest of the classic songs like radio gaga, another one bites the dust and big bottomed girls is just plain plastic pop. Even abba was better.
Queen is crap and i rest my case. I don't mind pop but i need some kind of orginality

Try some of their earlier efforts ( Queen, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack): they are a worthwhile experience!

Right-o. And you find NOTHING on them to suggest any kind of
songwriting or instrumental skill? If that's really true and you're not
just spitting petty prejudice then yes, I'm afraid you know bugger all
about music.

I never said they where bad instrumentalists although i find brian may a bit overrated as a guitarist just as jimi hendrix. But i generally don't think they are good songwriters in terms of both lyrics, melodies and complex arrangements. I can barely hear anything in their music that i have not heard before

The fact is, though, that Queen were amongst the first to do it at the
time! And don't even dare suggest that Maiden's arrangements are more
complex than Queen's!
