It shows how brilliant this band is when their "other" Operatic Masterpiece could be one of ten songs
That is a mood
Beatles too
Doctor Alto Clef having opera is variety?
Doctor Alto Clef no
@@Meatle. the songs of the beatles have very much variation and they always experimented with different instruments, but their songs weren't really hard if you look at the chords they used, those were very basic. They were also in the same genre a lot. Queen did a way better job of going into other keys and had very much variation in musical genres, but they would have the same instruments most of the time; guitar, bass, drums and ocassionaly a piano or synth. So both bands were really great at different elements of music.
damn i've been waiting for someone to recognize innuendo
Same for me
I love innuendo, is one of my favorite songs by Queen.
Me too, Innuendo is my absolute favorite Queen song
These are the days of our lives is one of my favorites
Well , uk no. one hit, so not entirely overlooked :-)
Much of Queen's later work is criminally ignored.
so is their earlier stuff, their first two albums are great.
their early works too, Queen 1 and Queen 2 can easily be one of Queen's album. Keep yourself alive, father to son, ogre battle and seven seas of rhye
@@ricimercury9490 The March of the Black Queen
@Toxic Potato March of the Black Queen is a total masterpiece, so is The Prophet's Song, '39, Death on Two Legs, and so many others
I thought most of their songs on "The Works" are fabulous --- shame America turned it's back on Queen after '84
Finally, Innuendo is getting the attention it deserves. Has always been my favorite Queen song
Masterful piece of work.
Hell yeah!!!
100% agree
And album
@@emitwilson8906 If Innuendo is your favorite album, then what do you think about Made in Heaven?
The only thing I dislike about Queen is that their catalog is so wide and each album so distinctive, that I've never been able to get bored of them and this has probably prevented me from listening to other great bands!
You could probably do a video like this one with at least 10 other incredible songs from this geniuses.
me too!!
Yep! They sure have everything from Thrash Metal to Opera :)
I've the same problem with David bowie but queen does it too
If you haven't listened to "Death on Two Legs" or "March Of The Black Queen" please do so. Underrated gems. (Edit: Also Seaside rendezvous, the Prophets song, All Dead All Dead, Don't try Suicide and Sheer Heart Attack are really fun songs to listen to.)
March of the black queen is amazing, one of my favorites hands down
Seconded on "March of the Black Queen" Great song!
I assumed this was going to be about Queen II - easily one of my favorite Queen albums. Brian's guitar playing and Freddie's vocals are killer on this album.
Just listen Queen II, sheer heart attack, day at the races, and many more. Highkey underrated albums that no one ever talks about
Good ole fashioned lover boy is GREAT
Since you mentioned the Kashmir influence, in Freddie's tribute concert Robert Plant played this song with the rest of Queen and threw in a few lines from Kashmir... perfect moment.
Yes, it was the perfect moment. Robert Plant was singing Inuendo at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert and he hadn't learned all the lyrics to Inuendo, so he threw in some Kashmir lyrics to make up for it - and they were amazing - way better than the lyrics he was trying to read off the paper on the floor. LOL Thanks for reminding me of that. 🙃 I'd been listening to so much Queen n I'd never heard Kashmir, so I looked it up. What a great (and heavy) song!
Queen's _Innuendo_ doesn't get enough love.
Because Freddie didn't get to perform it live and show/guide the world through this album.
March of the Black Queen is the original Bohemian Rhapsody! Ok I'm totally not neutral but I will say the whole "Queen II" album is the most underrated Queen album of all time. And especially the second side which is the "Freddie side" which works for me like a single piece especially the succession of Ogre Battle > The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke > Nevermore which is mind-blowing when you think it has been done in 1974 with limited time in studio and no computer... It's one of the craziest (in a good way) harmonic and melodic thing I've ever heard. And each time I hear it (first time I was13 I'm 42 now) I still wonder : How did they achieve such perfection? Because each time I listen to this record, I discover something new...
u can literally see the growth from liar > march of the black queen > bohemian rhapsody its crazy
So true! Especially Nevermore might be the most beautiful piece I've ever heard
exactly! Innuendo song stands in this line! typicall Freddies masterpiece. here he brings his education in classical music to rock. song is 90% written by Freddie.
I highly suggest going in depth on “The Prophets Song.” It’s Brian May’s Bohemian Rhapsody and it’s unfortunate that it gets lost in the shuffle compared to Queen’s more popular songs. It’s amazing that for any other group Prophets Song would be their magnum opus, but Queen has like 20 more to come!
Not really - Bohemian Rhapsody's oper section is playful and shapeshifting. The Prophet's Song just repeats the same gimmick for a way too long time, to the degree that the guitars crashing in feel like a relief, unlike BR which makes one want revisit the a cappella part over and over again.
Herr Schmidt I’m not saying Prophets Song is totally on the level of BR. I’m just saying it’s one of Brian’s most interesting creations which i believe is underrated in the grand scheme of Queen’s discography. And I personally think Freddie’s echoing harmonies are quite haunting and beautiful rather than a gimmick. But that’s just my personal opinion
It is certainly unique.
Wyatt Brownell yep PS is brilliant.
A lot of songs on A Night At The Opera are overshadowed by bohemian rhapsody unfortunately.
My brother passed away in 2008. I have him to thank for really turning me on to Queen. He may be gone but the music remains. I can't hear Queen without thinking of him.
Sounds like he was a great brother --- his spirit lives on when you listen to Queen !!
Well, here's a thought that may help. Your brother's probably in heaven now meeting Freddie.
So if Bohemian Rhapsody was Freddie's Beethoven's 5th, the strongest and most iconic work, Innuendo was his Beethoven's 9th, the swan song of his brilliance, with a help from his bandmates and friends (Howe).
Why drag Mr. Mercury down by comparing him to small fry?
@@Kowasi pure truth
According to a documental, the lyrics were made it by Roger Taylor
Innuendo is easily1 of queens worst songs. Amazing craftsman ship and lyrical/ sonic prowess aside. In the grander scheme of queens career and being a good song to throw on, the song fails miserably. The song sports a lot of great ideas all held back by 1 thing... the original idea was terrible. To make a song like that... clouded in synths that would soon sound dated and to have it build around more circus sounding music instead of operatic... these were some of its downfalls. The song just sounds like a giant mess whereas bohemian sounds like everything perfectly falls together. Bohemian was built off of an amazing idea... to bring the opera to rock and roll, make a multi part song (something only played around with by bands like the Beatles and yes and king crimson.... but never really used in a more pop oriented in your face way) that was worthy of its parts, to make a triumphant stage worthy tragedy unfold in front of the audiences eyes... bohemian was built on all of these amazing ideas while innuendo was built on nothing "let's rip off led zeppelin, let's try and repeat the succsess of bohemian rhapsody ect. Ect.
Kowasi so you are saying freddie>beethoven? ur out of ur god damn mind
March of The Black Queen is also a superb song
That whole album is EPIC....
Esther L. Yes! like a trifecta or something; a great career-spanning trio!
Freddie got a n-word pass and didn't know what song to put it in.
Yasss
Yes listen to it with headphones!
Innuendo is a masterpiece
Many Queen songs are masterpieces
For me Innuendo is one of the best songs ever written... So many faces, so many moods... Unbelievable art
I saw the video in my notifications and was expecting March of The Black Queen. But I must say I am pleasantly surprised to see a video about Innuendo!
My thoughts where ‘March of the Black Queen’ as well. My favorite Queen track btw.
Same here dude, it was pretty much a proto Bohemian Rhapsody. My Fairy King is also amazing.
Motbq is better imo, but innuendo is amazing as well
Yeah, same here. I'd also love to see a video on March Of The Black Queen.
Same, but with The Prophet's Song
It's interesting to hear Pop/Rock songs being broken down like this, so much more interesting than the "reviews" you see in Newspapers etc. which rarely deal with musical content.
I'm a particular fan of "Now I'm Here" which, for me, showed a band approaching the peak of what they were to capable of.
Unusual key changes, canon/imitation, unusual structure, given that there's no actual chorus and a savvy nod to Chuck Berry, both in the guitar solos and the cheeky "go, go, go, little Queeny!" near the end.....I never tire of listening to it! ;O)
"Now I'm Here" is an excellent song! One of my favorites from Queen.
The entire Queen II album. For me, anyway.
The sleeve of the original Queen II has a picture from the Bohemian Rhapsody music video.
@@tjs2014 it's the other way around
This is my No. 1 Queen song of all-time, even higher than Bohemian Rhapsody in my personal list! From Freddie's powerful and spine-chilling vocals to the exotic flamenco solo by Steve Howe, the ethereal choral vocals at the bridge and the hard-hitting drums, this song is a highly underrated masterpiece in every way!
I think in "The March Of The Black Queen" or "The Prophet's Song"
The Prophet´s Song is a masterpiece.
I think "was it all worth it" is also a underrated song
Those two are above Bohemian Rhapsody for me now.
Innuendo was almost their final album, There was "Made in Heaven" that was released in 1995. It included 3 songs Freddie recorded 6 months before he died. "Mother Love" was the final song he recorded in May of 1991. Brian May had to sing the last verse because Freddie was too ill to continue at that point.
mojorisen74 the other 2 recorded before he died was You Don’t Fool Me and A Winter’s Tale
True but Innuendo was the last album Freddie completed and MIH while nice is not on the same level.
It's important to remember that Mr. Taylor and Mr. May taking lead vocals on Queen songs wasn't unheard of on the 70s Queen albums. I miss that a little on the later albums. The circumstances on Made In Heaven were tragic, and that Mr. Mercury's health deteiorated so much that he couldn't finish his own song is hard to hear. However, if he hadn't been the sole vocalist for such a long time, then perhaps there would have been more stomach within the band to create more Queen albums after he passed away...
Just listened to it MIH. A fine effort. Like!
MIH is the only "nice" album Queen ever did. Their b-song selections done without Freddie in the production room.
A great song. Interested in their other-other operatic masterpiece, The Prophet Song.
ayy that's what i thought it was gonna be too
I wouldn't describe The Prophets Song as operatic (at least not like MOTBQ, BR, Innuendo), it's just super long.
My fave Queen song.
Thank you!
The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke - there is something epic and playful about the song describing that painting.
Awesome video like always! Great timing in terms of the subject matter as well. Keep it coming 🤘
Woow. Can we get twelvetone here to complete the triumviate?
Hey, Lie! Love the videos
Ha, my music UA-camrs collide, awesome!.
I love bohemian rhapsody but I love this one better.
I thought you guys were the same channel
This is the most underrated Queen song ever. It is truly a masterpiece and one of my favourites. That's where I got my username from.
Tech Innuendo where did you get from that it’s underrated..
Get your facts straight ... I was and never will be underrated lol
Or father to son!
My Fairy King ?
Cool!
I'd throw "Cool Cat" into the ring for the most underrated piece. It falls into the time between Queen being good rock and Queen being good pop and is lost on an entirely insignificant album, which is entirely overshadowed by one of their greatest singles.
I really thought the video would be about the medley on Queen II side B ("Ogre Battle", "The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke", and "Nevermore"). But yeah, "Innuendo" is awesome too!
Don't forget "The White Queen (as it began)" and or course "March of the Black Queen"
I KNEW IT! i knew it would be innuendo, very under rated album and song, or.. maybe its a bit to much of a reminder that these were Freddie's last words (so to speak).
But its an AMAZING album and ONE HELL of a powerful song.
AMAZING ALBUM . I opened the CD on my way to work and had to stop to listen to it . Freddy was in RARE form!
he sure was :)
No, his last words were on Made in Heaven. And they weren't nearly as compelling as this. Perhaps understandably.
True, those are his last recorded songs, but i meant the last album released while still alive, he knew that the next album would be more than likely after his unfortunate demise.
Innuendo is pretty good but not that Underrated, I was honestly hoping this would be another Night at the Oprea song called the prophets song if you haven’t heard it listen to it.
Thought it was going to be March Of The Black Queen which was pretty much a proto Bohemian Rhapsody but yea Innuendo is fantastic.
Same!
What I'd like to see, is a series of videos that focus on groups of Queen songs that are distinct and stand out from their other songs, but have a lot in common with each other.
For example, one video could deal with their epics: March of the Black Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Millionaire's Waltz and Innuendo.
Another would be their music hall extravaganzas: Bring Back that Leroy Brown, Seaside Rendez-vous, Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon, Good Old-fashioned Lover Boy, etc.
And then a third could be about their underrated songs: It's Late, Need Your Loving Tonight, Rock It (Hand Jive) and any other number of lost classics (of which there are many).
How about it? Get to work!
A thousand times YES! Innuendo is my favorite Queen song by far and I always feel it never really gets the recognition it deserves. More people need to be made aware of how amazing this song is, so thank you for putting it in the spotlight.
Before the video I think it's either gonna be about "March or the Black Queen" or "the prophet's Song"
You forgot to mention that the music video for innuendo is also incredible. The claymation part of it is out of this world. In my opinion innuendo it’s far more interesting than Bohemian Rhapsody and I’ve always liked it a lot more.
I know it's more rock than opera, but another favorite of mine is "It's Late" from News of the world. I love all of Queens music. Bohemian Rhapsody, the movie, was fantastic.
I saw Queen Extravaganza play It's Late last month. Another under-rated Queen song
@@johnnymegabyte That's awesome!!! Love that song!!
@VarXi - Adolescente Hipster/Poser omg, you are so right!!!! Where is my head!!! Thank you for pointing that out, I should know better.
"It's Late"--my favorite Queen song!! Finally someone mentions it!! Thank you BohemianPrincess!!
@@michaelhalas4287 YESSS!! Love that song so much 😁😁😁😉😉❤
The Highlander theme is one of their best songs! Super dynamic.
GREAT KING RAT IS SO UNDERATTED ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY! SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE IT SOME LOVE!?!?
Especially the recording on “At the Beeb”
"Jesus" rocks too… that primal, first album stuff when every door was open and they could have gone anywhere they wanted...
Queen had so many brilliant songs that go so unappreciated.
Seconded. My Melancholy Blues shpuld be played at the end of every party as people start going home.
March Of The Black Queen was their other true masterpiece. It was so complex that they never played it live. Innuendo is good though.
They sang that song for 4 years.
Could you do a video on Brian May I think a lot of people overlook how great of a guitarist he really was
@@Billy219
If you really dislike post-1930s music what are you doing watching a video like this?
*"IS"
Innuendo is definitely an amazing piece of musical work, a pocket symphony as Brian Wilson would say
Finally someone else who is as passionate about queen as I am. You earned a sub
Totally agree. I've always known this to be a masterpiece.
innuendo is a masterpiece, the whole album deserves more recognition. it might just be my favorite album.
the whole second side of Queen II (from Ogre Battle through) is Abby Road level brilliance.
I was seriously ill early in 1991 and Innuendo literally bought me out of a coma...never forget Freddie's awesome voice and this fantastic track.So thank you Queen for changing someones life.
I bought the cassette back in 96.
"I'm Going Slightly Mad', always giving me the chills from the first time I played it, right until this present day.
It's finally happened…
100% epic track. I request it all the time on classic rock radio to no avail of course. Another epic song is Was it All Worth It from The Miracle.
I was on a trip to Istanbul , and I found an Original Innuendo albun, I was so happy! The store is famous all over Europe for its original records!
Holy crap. 2 of my favourite artists on one song. Steve Howe and queen
The Millionaire Waltz?
Yeah... You already said what i was thinking. A day at the races always is overlooked along side of night at opera and news of the world. The two albums always lost is the inbetweeners. Day at races and my opinion the best queen album... Jazz. Innuendo is pretty awesome. So is made in heaven for what it is
I like the songs in ADATR than ANATO
@Nothing is Real - Millionaire Waltz is perfection. The complex bass accompaniment with the simple piano chords that form the intro is stunning. The tempo changes, waltz played on a guitar, Freddie's vocal modulations from growling rock to breathy softness....all of it!
that is the definitive "other Bohemian Rhapsody" and much as I love Queen, nothing in the 80s or beyond came close to their brilliance in the 70s
@@robingentleman2574 I would disagree. Hammer to Fall, Save Me, Innuendo, Scandal, Made In Heaven, Let Me Live, The Show Must Go On, Miracle, It's a Hard Life are all songs I would consider as on par with 1970s Queen.
One of my absolute favorites. Innuendo is EPIC
2nd video on Queen. Amazing.
Amazing, but not enough... he should probably fix this problem :P
I think your Merchandise is Something Very Special and brilliant. It's Not just another T-Shirt with a Logo, it's Something unique and i Hope more Posters will follow
Well said and well done! This album brings back a lot of mixed emotion memories for me. At first listen, I could tell something wasn't quite right in Queen's world; It also evoked a lot of strong emotions for me as I was in a bad marriage. It never stopped me from listening to the album, as there were so many amazing elements. The way that Queen used the music studio as an instrument was so amazing. Not many recordings had this level of fidelity or innovation. This inspired me to try to be a better musician and recordist. Thank you for bringing this album to a new group of listeners; it has never received the recognition it deserves.
I always thought March of the Black Queen was a better song than BR. The official fan club also voted it the best ever Queen song.
Dammit! I thought you were going to do The Prophet's Song.
I fuckin love that song!
I did as well!
Imagine if it wasn't on the same album as Bohemian Rhapsody! I thought this vid was going to be March of the black queen though.
I thought so too! That is a GREAT song! I love the vocal Cannon and May's guitar work throughout...
Innuendo is my fav Queen track. Love this
I can’t get enough of Queen. Innuendo is one of my favorite albums of all time
I was positive the other "Operatic Masterpiece" was going to be March of the Black Queen. I've always felt that it was "Bohemian Rhapsody before Bohemian Rhapsody." All of Queen II is like a hidden gem.
MARCH OF THE BLACK QUEEN!!! The best operatic masterpiece by Queen, in my opinion.
I would have guessed "Somebody to Love" but I'm curious about this song that I've never heard of. keep up the great work.
Queen is in my top 2 favorite bands, and Yes in my top 5. Happy to see them "merge" here.
Queen doesn’t have only Bohemian Rhapsody and Innuendo with these characteristics. Also The March Of The Black Queen (Queen II) and The Prophet’s Song (A Night At The Opera) are remarkable epic songs on band’s career. Truly hidden gems that deserve other videos just for them.
Queen is my all time favourite band. When people ask me which is my favourite song by them, I answer Innuendo. This video explains perfectly why. Fantastic job!
I've always felt Innuendo was very underappreciated. So glad you feel the same way as I do.
Hot Space tour Denver Colorado, 14th row. With Freddie! Best concert I ever saw, and I've see a ton.
Great… Hot Space doesn't much love. It's good to hear that they killed it live. Actually, I like that album. Dancer and Put Out The Fire are my favourites.
I knew it before I watched it, this song is massive, it deserved an analysis on its own. Thanks for the great work!
What an excellent video!!! You go into so much depth (as one should with a queen song) I would love to see more content like this!
Thank you! Finally someone talks about Innuendo I LOVE this song. I always get chills whenever I listen to this as well as the show must go on, which makes me cry.
Listen to 'More of that Jazz' by Queen. You'll then understand what metal actually is.
The March of the Black Queen
Every where i turn this days, theres talk about Queen, or Freddie and im loving it!!!
Thank you for that! Innuendo is by far my favorite song of theirs. When I saw the title I was certain, and finally correct. An incredible composition. Probably their greatest
The Bohemian Rhapsody movie was so good, a must watch.
I really hope someone says “it’s out tomorrow stupid” so I can so epically whoosh them.
The ending is Shit
it’s out tomorrow stupid
Fergus Rhodes r/whooooosh
Now we just need a movie about Rush where it just shows Geddy Lee screaming for 2 hours
My favorite Queen song is “Hammer to fall”. The studio version is fantastic but the Live Aid performance is stunning. Check it out if you haven’t.
Thank you so much for articulating why I love this song so much, and why it's my favorite Queen song. I think I've listened to Innuendo far more than any of their other songs.
I LOVE innuendo, my favorite Queen song by far. Glad to see this video recognizes its absolute brilliance for everyone who loves it as much as I do, and for those that just discovered it.
I knew this would be Innuendo.
Same same same and I am glad this is recognized
I love how the title says other... when there are plenty of Queen operatic masterpieces lol
I bought this CD brand new in 1991 as a 16 year old kid and immediately picked Innuendo as the best! Great video! Thank you for what you do!
Thank you polyphonic! I remember when I first heard this song as a kid an I was absolutely blown away by it's sound, I've always thought this song was criminally underrepresented and underappreciated
Who Wants to Live Forever is the other, other great Symphony.
Jason Cromwell My 2nd Favorite Song From them. this being my 1st
Which also accomplished the wonder of making May's voice sound less boring.
@@Schmidtelpunkt fuck you! May's voice is far far far from boring. You on the other hand, will sound like a dying strangled cat, in comparison.
I didn't actually realise Dr. May sings on that track. Apparently it's a shared lead vocal.… This idea that his voice is boring is just jive...
May starts, which then allows the song to take it up one notch by allowing Mercury to take over. Afterwards May just has single lines, which gives a nuance to the song and in a way anchors Mercury to keep him from getting too theatrical.
May's voice is very much in tune, but unlike his guitar, it does not add character. Even a worse voice (and mine is certainly worse) would have more edge. '39 must be the most skippable song on A Night At The Opera. But, well, fanboys... if you liked music more than a specific band, it would open up whole worlds to you.
"Other" as if there are only a couple. That said, nice video. I love the Innuendo album!
I LOVE what you do!! Thank you so much for your hard work brother.
To be honest - I love all Queen songs and I cry every time I listen to The Show Must Go On - but Innuendo is something else , it´s my favourite and I always have goosebumps listening to it, even after years.
I love this song, and I have loved Queen ever since I was a child. I feel like one reason why it seems to pale in comparison with Bohemian Rhapsody, or even Led Zeppelin's Kashmir (which the opening and closing verses are reminiscent of), is that when Queen began, they were sonic innovators. In 1990/91, when Innuendo was recorded, technology allowed (imo) bands inspired by Queen like Guns n' Roses to perform similar magic in production, along with lots of other groups. Even Def Leppard, who weren't in the same league as Queen in any way, could, thanks to Mutt Lange, claim Hysteria was a chunky, satisfyingly aggressive rock album, with Queen-style harmonies to the fore. In other words, the progress of studio technology had flattened the playing field.
The other is that Bohemian Rhapsody took a very personal Mercury lyric (he may or may not have been channelling a persona or character when writing - it's unlikely he was literally writing about his own life) and built around it, whereas Innuendo started with the musical excellence of May, Taylor and Deacon, and added lyrics later. The result is a song that tries to come across as universal, but does not hit home as hard as the gut-wrenching lyrics of BR - at least until the final verse, which is undoubtedly Freddie singing about his own wish to live only for the moment, as that was all he had.
I find Innuendo the album a hard listen - I don't think it's not as rounded an album experience as The Miracle or A Kind of Magic, probably in great part due to the almost unbearably sad circumstances the band were working through. There is also the subtext of knowing, listening to Freddie's voice - as on-the-button as it always is - that one of your heroes is recording this knowing he is about to die. That, alone, makes the album a real lump-in-the-throat listen, unlike The Who's Who Are You album, for example, where they played knowing Keith Moon was making himself very ill, but unaware of exactly what would happen, and so there is more joy, and less foreboding, in the sound.
Sure, every verse might as well be loaded with death. Headlong, I Can't Live With You. I got the impression that Mr. Mercury was singing love songs to the virus itself, and it was hard to shake.
innuendo is SUCH A GENIUS SONG
Damn it. This made me cry. I am 51, & have been a queen fan since the age of seven. Which not so coincidentally is the first year I sang at a talent show. Realizing for the first time, that I could sing. Also, that it was something that not everyone can do. Being a wheelchair user from birth, provided an unintended shock factor for people. It was also a profound lesson in the power of imagery, & the boxes society / people, put you in. Based on that image. I suppose that is one of the reasons I loved them so much. The musicianship was insane, & they never let themselves be put ( musically speaking ) in a box. It is a motto I have lived by. Boxes are for purchases, not people, or art.
Thx for this upload. Awesome!!
It's dark vibes make it feel like Queen turned Led Zeppelin. From Queen i tend to expect more grand and absurd work. Still a great piece of music.
Yes. Freddie Mercury was a Led Zeppelin fan
MrJuanBuzz to be honest, in the early 70’s- Who wasn’t?
damn I must sound cocky, has Jimmy Page as my profile picture is my username is J. page
Zeppelin’s pretty positive too though.
In fact, Roger Taylor once said that he was inspired by led Zeppelin's Khasmir to play the beat of innuendo.
Brain May is as obviously influenced by Page as Joe Perry. Disnt realize Merc was a Zep fan, but I geuss if he had no interest in rock he wouldnt have wanted to be in the band in the first place.
i couldn't have agreed more...
I think innuendo is indeed one of their very best songs but whenever I listen any of the songs from the album, my heart bounches so hard and I sweat and freeze a little and breathe manually. I don't listen the songs often, only because of this unpleasand feeling I get from them. I really wanna be able to relax and not think about the fact that they're kinda "dark" or sad songs or whatever and that they were recorded in 1991. I just want to be able to forget that while listening. I know this might be weird what I'm all saying here but innuendo is this kind of song that really really has a message in it, and a true meaning. It's a "heavy" song for me. And no not in the way you probably think, but the lyrics are heavy. They explain the hard truth of this world and for some reason, I get that feeling that i mentioned earlier. Idk if im the only one... I probably am but I really do think its a great album no one talks about but idk... makes me feel kinda sad and missing Freddie even more i guess
Thanks - I'm a big Queen fan but strangely I had never heard or heard-of this track before. And all these years later I still desperately miss Freddie. It's a testament to the strength of the band that they have gone on and even thrived.
Yeah, Innuendo (the song) was at the time it was released often spoken of as the spiritual successor of Bohemian Rhapsody. Personally I think there's another song that also operatic in nature but it's a lesser known song and it actually predates Bohemian Rhapsody. The song is March of the Black Queen from the album Queen II, I always consider that song the spiritual predecessor of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Could You make a video about The March Of The Black Queen. Its also a rock-opera from their second album. Its probably the most underrated song I know.
great video! and awesome choice of pictures. absolutely love them.
Really love Innuendo, but March of the Black Queen may always be my favorite Queen song. Thanks for mentioning Steve Howe.
love your channel and i love queen
INNUENDO!! I absolutely LOVE this song! I saw the title and I really hoped it would be about this song. The whole song takes me back to when I was 12-13 years old. This song, I dare to see, would be a breaking point in my musical development. I did not realize music could be THIS. Thank you so much on doing yet another great video on it. Pumping the song through my stereo any moment now.
Thanks for giving credit to Steve Howe. Queen is among my favorite bands, but Yes has been my sole favorite since the 80's, seen them countless times live. Steve's solo in this song is amazing and made my favorite Queen song even more my favorite, Innuendo has never gotten old. Awesome song AND awesome music video. Cheers.
i was expecting march of the black queen as the "other than bohemian rhapsody" operatic masterpiece, I never really saw innuendo as a symphony or rhapsody great video as always bro
