I used to be reluctant to buy this album because of this song. I was worried that my mom would come in my room and be like "What the hell are you listening to???" Now I really don't give a fuck. I love this album, I love Freddie, and I love this song! <3 <3 <3
This song is about their recording company... at the time they were having some issues and Freddie wrote the song ... it's all metaphorically ... not literally about sex ... or a sexual act ... i.e. being #$%$# by the other ... the other being the recording label
wonder what was on freddie's mind when he was writing this :P like this song, maybe because of what the are singing about, bet the others really enjoyed playing this :D
It is hard to believe that an awesome group can put out such treasures as "Dreamer's Ball" and "Fat Bottomed Girls" and then also put out garbage like this song and "Body Language." I love Queen, and when they were great they were great. But when they weren't...ugh.
@IReallyAmIronMan. Your spelling is absolutely awful. And judgments/opinions are just that. Sorry if you disagree, but more sorry that you feel the need to be hostile about it because it affects you personally in some way if someone dislikes something that you tie to your self esteem.
@speechtrain haha I didn't see the person's comment you were replying too, but I thought it was funny how you said his spelling was "absolutely awful". I don't think I've ever heard that on a youtube comment...
trent's version is really exciting, chaotic noisy dangerous sex. Queen's original from 1977 (!!) has more frustration - wanna make it, gets denied, gets back on again, etc. it's a sexy NEGOTIATION, not purely about release. Live versions are more ferocious. | Remember Hollywood stars even way back in '20-30s screwed like rabbits. LOADS of UK showbiz folks also died of AIDS (it's an Epidemic, not "freddie-only disease"!), but freddie's the stigmatized one because of his stage persona?
It's a shame that a great musician had to live in a time in history where there is such a thing as AIDS. It was all the love he made that killed him. It shouldn't be that way. Someday we'll find a cure for that Goddamn disease so it can't take people like him away from us before their time.
I hate to say it...I'm too old to admit this is the first time I've heard the original. I appreciate the raw sex of it, but I just wanna go on record and say I am SOOOO glad Trent Reznor chose to reimagine it. I'm not saying one is better than the other.
I agree, and Trent Reznor used to jam at the same club I used to jam at over 20 years ago. He can't even begin to be a singer even close to Freddie Mercury's caliber. Reznor would not socialize with anyone and thought all the attention should be on him. In other words, to put it nicely, he thought he was the gift.
@musicase64 You know, Trent rubs me the wrong way man. You are so right, he does think he's the gift. I have never like NIN at all. I heard some talent, but nothing to me beat Queen or David Bowie, or Tom Waits. Reznor is more like a narcissist.
@diamonddust22 I'm glad you agree with me. This club I used to play at had plenty of talented musicians who were a lot better than Trent. Frankly, I really don't see how he made the big time like he did. He's just not a big time talent and seemed like a jerk.
@musicase64 it's funny how people make it. You just never know. All it take is your foot in the door and you are off. I think he made it because he also did the music for the old Quake video game and stuff like that.
@diamonddust22 I didn't know he did video game music. How lame !!!!!!! When you said Quake, that reminded me of an old cereal. There were actually two. Do you remember Quake and Quest, from the 70's.
News Of The World is a phenomenal album. Apparently millions in the US agree as it's Queen's best selling non-compilation album (along with 1980's The Game) at 4 million copies in US sales. This song kicks ass. I may be in the minority but Trent Reznor (the biggest crybaby whining miserable son of a bitch who hates everyone including himself) ruined this gem with that lame industrial crap and self-loathing whine of his. His remake was shit compared to the original.
i love the sexy Queen songs! Freddie is so perfect to sing sexy songs! with him it isnt offencive sexy songs but juuuuust right like the whole Hot Space Album (my fav ^_^)
this video of studio recorded sound with no Trent pics included is great. a lot better than another video of same sound. Thanks!
I just love both version of Get Down Make Love and Queen originally made it and I found Queen's great. Strangely Queen's has a part of Industrial sound which is very satisfying to me.
