    Queen fan from the first hour here: when he recorded Innuendo he was literally using the microphone stand to stay up, wearing a pigiama in his bedroom which was also used as "medical clinic".

      ​@@adriantrusca1245slightly hypocritical there mate. Lambert may not be Freddie, but he is one of the people that Freddie sang about.
      The reason that Lambert can sing in "high heels and lipstick" is because queen were huge advocates of people living the life that they want to.
      Freddie was a cross dresser, so the fact that you are highlighting Lambert for this is just an insult to Freddie's memory.

      The Innuendo album is a taste of what Queen would have sounded like in the 90s if Freddie Mercury would have lived:
      mixing their best elements from the 70s and 80s with a fresh sound to create something new.

    This song is like a encore for humanity. All the good, all the bad. Hope, optimism and celebration, but also oppression, control and fear. They packed it all in this song. Quite a feat by itself!
    Also, it's worth noting that this is the album they made after Freddie Mercury found out he had AIDS, which may have something to do with the new depth and seriousness of the title track. RIP Freddie Mercury, an unparalleled performer!

    Yesterday I watched your reaction for Bogemian rapsody and suggest you this song. And this is it! Suggested that Queen become famous after Bohemian rapsody. But for me, Innuendo show how Queen grown and changed. They stopped on their peak. Their music and texts bacame better from year to year. Who know what epic piece of art they could creat if Freddy still was along us. But at the same time, what lyrics they used after Freddie's illness.

    Yes, Freddie knew he was dying when this was recorded and released... 'Innuendo' (1991) was the Queen record released just months before Freddie passed away. Queen's last studio album was 'Made in Heaven' released in 1995, completing the tracks and songs that Freddie Mercury had recorded prior to his death.

    Completely agree with Lex's take on this having the same "epic" scope as Bohemian Rhapsody - while I think they're both monumental triumphs to music, I actually like this one more as it's less overplayed for me. For another long, deep and thought-provoking song (if not nearly as complex instrumentally), may I please suggest "O Superman" by Laurie Anderson? Thank you both for doing what you do!

  • @marciebulsaraorcutt

    YOU GUYS HIT THE MEANING/CONTEXT OF THIS ONE RIGHT ON THE HEAD.
    (This is the same reason why my two FAV albums are Innuendo & Made In Heaven, and my all-time FAV song is:
    “DON’T TRY SO HARD”
    …Fred left us so many”messages” to think about.
    SUGGESTION:
    “THE MIRACLE” official MV
    (This is Brian May’s FAV song written by Freddie, because even tho Fred was well aware of his terminal diagnosis, the song is so full of HOPE & OPTIMISM… and the MV is ADORABLE.)

  • @benmason9755
    @benmason9755 Рік тому

    The title track from their last album while Freddie was still alive, and BY FAR my favourite song of theirs. This was written snd recordeed during that mad scramble in Freddie's last year or so, when he knew he was dying and he didn't have much time left, and they were determined to just make as much music as they could while he was still with them and could still do it. That's why everything on this album is SO POWERFUL, because it was all about Freddie's mortality and immortality, and the legacy he wanted to leave behind because he wanted to leave behind some truly amazing music, because music meant more to him than anything else in the world, aside maybe from his friends and family. In the end they made SO MUCH music that there was enough for TWO albums, so they put the most choice cuts on Innuendo but then after Freddie died they put together another final album, Made In Heaven, which was a fitting tribute to Freddie and his genius.

    This was never performed live since Freddie was so Ill at the time. This, BoRhap and March Of The Black Queen were easily their most creative, but Brian wrote one called Prophet's Song that was way up there. You should give it a shot. Queen seemed to change things because Queen did change things. They steered the whole rock world in a different direction than the way it was going at the time. No one could be mistaken for being in the same genre as Queen, as Queen's genre was Queen, but it did change a great deal.
