Queen. Shudder...

Its not the same thing though is it. I'm just saying i dont want an indulgent solo just cause its Brian May and someone feels he should. It has to work.

Im thinking Clapton on City Blues. That was just awful


I like Queen but this is Dennis Wilson so NO GUITAR SOLOS PLEASE!

Rodger Taylors husky voice could sound good on the song

So, the guitar solos on Time, Dreamer, You and I, Under The Moonlight, etc. aren't valid?

I would imagine--and hope--the final product would sound different! The demos are demos.

I know that. I was referring to Andrew's statement, which ended in an emoticon that suggested he had some kind of insider info that told him the songs would be different in a bad way. As in, they're putting a sax solo on Midnight's Another Day because the adult contempo producer of the moment is now involved.

I think the final product may well sound quite different.  Huh

Having now listened to the (alleged) demos which may (or may not) exist as FLAC files......LOL....

I agree. Those are basic demos put together by Brian and Scott for (presumably) the band to hear prior to the final arrangements being constructed for the live performances. Its great to hear the demos but any final studio recording will sound.....quite different, as AGD says. The album may bear little resemblance to those demos.

Hopefully it will bear a BIG resemblance to the live versions...

The first record to really show how lost the band was without Brian.

Dag-nab-it, they took down the audio clips already.....

Oh, I forgot to ask, how did those two Queen guys get involved? Does anyone know?
They are huge BB's fans, Roger is reportedly a DW fan...and friends of Taylor Hawkins. And anyone who hears Holy Man seems to be deeply moved by it.

Wow!!!! I'm a massive fan of Queen so this is the most intriguing thing i've heard in a long time! This is a far better calibre of collaboration than Robbie Williams, Britney Spears or Paul Rodgers!!!

Yeah the demo is pretty amazing, but I'll believe it when I can play with it.

Not sure how it'll work with vocals though...

I was scratching my head, thinking, well, that cover isn't as iconic as "Rubber Soul," but damn if it doesn't capture the mid-'60s decadence vibe pretty darn well. Mods out on a yacht in the Newport Beach Bay.


The 1965 Beach Boys are mod???

Aha I see, thanks Jon. Really look forward to that song (and all the others of course....), after reading how all pieces eventually fell into place. I mean, you gotta love Dennis' words: "Gregg, don't worry about it. It'll happen."

So I take it no one here digs the sax solo on "Transcendental Meditation" as much as I do?

I would imagine--and hope--the final product would sound different! The demos are demos. If it were to be released with out of time drumming, bad MIDI sounds, half-fleshed out/pre-show arrangements and the full Brian-and-Scott choir, it would be a ridiculous waste of time. I won't say the demos aren't spirited. I won't say I wasn't happy to hear them. But they are demos. It's really just not even the same thing. I'm not talking about big-name outside producers, or over-slick sounds. I'm against both ideas. I'm talking about professionally engineered recordings by talented players who are making an effort to do a good job (as opposed to a pair of talented guys getting their ideas on "tape" [I assume it wasn't actually on physical tape...] so the band members can learn their parts).
