Topic: one of the greatest songs

1) SEE THE TIMELINE.
2) SEE QUEEN
3) SEE BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

This song is one of the best songs ever, ARRANGEMENTS & STRUCTURE.
WHO CAN PLAY AND SING THIS SONG IN 2009, AS IN 1975!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For me it is a "genial" song, written by Freddy Mercury (Bulsara=strange real name)

Re: one of the greatest songs

easy song to sing. lol lol
but i have to improvise with the guitar playing.

although this great masterpiece was written in 1975 I think a few of THE WHO songs from who's next might match it and they were out in 1971..... pure and easy, wont get fooled again, song is over..... I am biased slightly, although i do love queen too...the band that is.

I think this rhapsody song gets too much attention and is hyped up a wee bit. it is like an unaware physicology thing, the more we are told it is great the more people believe it.
I do think it is great though so I have no idea where I am going with this one.
But I do know I am going out very soon to a family get together ( wife's side) a big massive one and a few of us are going to have a right good jam session.

So before I talk more dribble that I cannot explain I will go out and buy a botle of Jura single malt.... defininetly the best whisky to come from Jura...it is the only one as well but what a great whisky it is, this is better than listening to Queen again

Re: one of the greatest songs

Newton Fawlkner has done the full version of Bohemian Rapsody live on one acoustic guitar. It's on youtube somewhere. I'll have a look and see if I can find it.

Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??

Re: one of the greatest songs

The song isn't difficult at all, but to get such refrain "scaramouch...., as if a "choir" is singing it was quit amazing back then
