Hot Space is one of my favorites - the album of its time - very interesting and solidly done - as everything by Queen though and there are some good songs from John REALLY GOOD ))
When Queen released Hot Space in May 1982, they were heavily criticised for the album, being quite a departure from the usual rock n roll, with funk and electronica beats. However, all great bands like to try new sounds and experiment. Musicians get bored of playing the same thing all the time. I personally liked the album for what it was, but I do prefer 'The Works' and 'A Kind of Magic'. Rockin!
iono y people didnt like it... just cuz queen didnt do wat was expected from them... they never did, did they? so y was this such a disappointment? some people are just retarded...
No, Wikipedia can't be a reliable source :D. But nothing says about John playing that solo in the wiki. For the sound you can tell it'ss Brian's guitar... and the solo structure is similar to Brian's so it would be really strange if John played it.
I also have some doubts with Who Needs You, I think John played that solo on acoustic guitar, but I didn't find any source neither.
AND LISTEN THE MAGIC SOUND OF THE "GUITAR" OF BRIAN THE LOOSE "DRUM" OF ROGER AND THE LOW TONE "BASS" OF JOHN. THE "VOICE" IMPRESIONANT OF FREDDIE EVEN IN THE HEAVEN.
I wonder how John, the writer of this song, came up with such an elaborate guitar solo, he had to write this song on the guitar, though he usually wrote his songs on the piano (You are my best friend, Spread your wings)
When John wrote this song Brian got pretty mad at John. None of Queen's typical elements, or any rock-elements were included in the song. But after many argues, Brian finally convinced John to include a guitar-solo. What is funny about the solo, is that in the "Back Chat"-video (first released in 2003) it was John who played the guitar in the studio, and Brian just immitated it on the video because it's not a typical Queen-solo and couldn't be played with Brians homemade guitar, the Red Special.
Wow, good question. Yeah, i think so. Under Pressure is a great song, voted best duet ever. But just for the music i thing this song has more to offer. Just listen and look to the skills Roger, John and Brian show. They are amazing and Fred is always ok! In Under Pressure it's a duel of voices with a nice base line. In a fact, not one of my favorite songs and defenatly not in a live version.
I always thought this was a rather underrated song, probably mostly due to the funky Hot Space production. With a slightly punchier rock sound, this song could easily rank among Queen's classic work. John Deacon is awesome.
This may sound strange but one thing I like about Queen is that they actually played their instruments. OK, they looked pretty on stage, but it's actually a lot of technical work to play drums.
Deacon genius indeed! This track is just so catchy and energic, and you can tell the whole band it all they've got! Taylor's drum work is awesome, May's guitar solo's are really ambient and Freddie, he as always just deliver the goods in the best possible ways!
