[MrBb100000]

1:53 is epic

[vitamincity]

Why couldn't this had been on the album? Why!? Why!!!??!!

[Killerswarmofpuppies]

lol I had to pause this to get something and I paused @ 1:47 XD

this song and that pic made my day!

[GreatQueenFan]

DaveRFuller I thought your channel was closed because of copyrights. obviously i was wrong.

[OhYouMeanMe1]

HAHAHAHA!! 1:48 lol Roger...

[dandy97]

This is definitely one of Queen's lightest songs.

[portugal2781]

was this in the smile album when they use to be call smile

[mandingowarriors]

ill never understand why this wasnt released its fucking great

[SPeacock]

@mandingowarriors The band and their manager at the time, Roy Thomas Baker, disagreed on the quality of the drums/percussion of the song - it was originally meant to be a continuation of Great King Rat, but after the argument with their manager, the band dropped it from the album.

[xoxDifference]

1:52 is PRICELESS.

[lamusicaeskelly]

ERES GRANDE MERCURY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SIMPLEMENTE EL MEJOR

LASTIMA QUE PARTIERAS ME DUELE MUCHO EN EL CORAZON

TE QUIERE UN FAN

[Winxica4ever]

Great song and the greatest band! And very nice video.. Soo beautiful pictures, where did you find them all? o.O

[Ramsmeat]

Ahahahahah... Great Roger at 1:47. When was made this photo?

[kashmir33]

@deakymaymercury71 Yeah! My favorite album is Sheer heart attack,and it was the first cd I bought too.

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

I mean this song and "Jesus".

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

Could this song, in modern terms, be qualified as Christian rock? Because if so, then this song alone single-handedly wipes the floor with the entire genre.

[hitmansnightmare]

@IAmPlaysWithSquirrel It could qualify as christian parody, since it's about a guy who claims to be the messiah incarnate.

I treat it as such, and I love it as such. (Can anyone with more knowledge explain the background of the lyrics? I mean the background of the songwriting. Thanks)

[kashmir33]

What's this song talk about??

[solarDeviant]

@kashmir33 My take is: Mad the swine is referencing the time when a heard of pigs were given the evil spirits of a possessed man. At that time they all went nuts and ran into the river and drowned. The man was healed and hence the title mad the swine. It illustrates just how Jesus can work within a life to save us and the many means by which he will and can rid us of our evils... I personally don't think Freddie wrote this as an anti-Christian attack, just another perspective I suppose.

[kashmir33]

@solarDeviant Thank you,Yeah,I think the same about this song,and Jesus too (the song),but,how about Innuendo? hahaha!

[gemini6179]

I love this weird song from Queen.

[Zwinyfy]

I like this song

[Tinker8177]

white queen, you say they wrote about everything, which is totally true. i have question for you?

what was march of the black queen about? i dont know but im guessing it was a song freddie wrote about his black nail varnish or drssing up like a transvestite? am i right, or wrong

[devilinthebox]

@Tinker8177 The White Queen was written by Brian ... One possible explanation: it talks about a lover that that the narrator is pursuing- its obvious by the way the narrator talks about her characteristics with a lustful manner, like "stars of lovingness in her hair." Its possible that in the end, this beautiful woman commits suicide, as expressed by the lyrics and the mood. Also, carrying on into March of The Black Queen, which is often described as a continuation. The narrator asks "why do I

[devilinthebox]

@Tinker8177 Folow you and where do you go?" which implies that the narrator committed suicide as well. He then finds himself in hell, facing his beautiful woman, who turns out to be an evil temptress. Idk, it takes close examination of the words. But i may be wrong- freddie never wrote his songs to make sense to anyone but him, only to let everyone else figure them out. He loved that.

[stellathequeen97]

Beautiful face... 1:48

[nostalgicpuffo1976]

Freddie R.I.P. Queen forever.

[vitamincity]

i here that everytime a queen song plays deep in the universe a galaxy explodes from sheer awsomeness

[GooGajoob224]

I honestly think this song was such a great candidate for Queen's debut album.

I mean if it was because it had many direct quotes to religion, then why was Jesus left on the album? Anyways it's such a beautiful tune, so i'm glad they at least put it on there when they re-released Queens entire catalog.

[2Old2MinceWords]

I was around then. Trust me, it would've been taken the wrong way at that time. "What? Are they worshipping a pig? They're devil worshippers!" and all that jazz.... Many considered any rock & roll to be evil. Try as they might, there wasn't anything in "Jesus" that could be misconstrued. Make any sense?

Love the song, though, it's a real jewel. Glad they released it on the '91 CD.

[cuc321]

@GooGajoob224 It wasn't release because the group and Roy Thomas Baker didn't like the quality of the percussion, and I think this song is mostly about Jesus coming back as some kind of animal or idk it's kind of weird like in the line:

Oh and then one day you'll realise

You're all the same within his eyes

It's like referring that all people are the same for God no difference between rich and poors, blinds, lepers, people with disabilities and so....

[mogoya]

what is it with all this spanish shit?? LEARN ENGLISH U DUMB FUCKS!!

[bijin1966]

Si serás gilipollas¡¡¡. Aprende tú español, más allá de cerveza.

[TheStefanoCheru]

@mogoya The fact that u cant speak Spanish doesnt mean no one cant :)

[94frz]

a precious little song :)

[rollingstone80]

no es que mejorara o empeorara con el tiempo, simplemente los discos eran distintos estilos musicales. Mad The Swime la situaria mas o menos en la epoca de "The Game" me suena a esa epoca, por cierto ¿la autoria de la cancion es de John Deacon? No se pero, se me hace que si, tiene su sello característico

[antoniufont]

La canción fue escrita por Freddie Mercury en 1973 pero no fue publicada para el album "Queen I" Parece ser que no quedaron contentos con el trabajo de Roger Taylor.En 1991 se publica la gravación como cara B del single "Headlong".

[rollingstone80]

Esta cancion viene en el disco Queen I, ahi estaba cuando tuve ese disco, sin embargo leyendo la reseña en ingles de este video dice que es de la epoca de Headlong, estoy confundido, de que epoca es la rola, por cierto, si uno escucha el disco Queen I, esta canción, Mad The Swime, no encaja con las melodias que Queen tocaba en esa epoca

[SpiralPegasus]

Encaja mas que bien en mi opinión. Tiene tambien un toque religioso, presta atencion a la letra. No tendria bastante sentido, considerando que "Jesus" esta en el mismo album?

La canción es de 1973 y fue PUBLICADA en 1991 como lado B del single de Headlong (nunca habia sido lanzada antes).

Ah, y es de Mercury.

Ahora si? :P

[rollingstone80]

@SpiralPegasus

Cierto, aunque tiene un estilo mas melodico que Jesus, Jesus es de un estilo mas heavy metalero, de hecho casi todo el Queen I es heavy metalero, con pocas excepciones como Doing All Right y Mad The Swime, ademas de la acustica e instrumental seven seas. En fin ¿cual es tu disco favorito de queen compañero?

[SpiralPegasus]

Queen II, A Night at The Opera y posiblemente A Day At The Races.

El primero por combinar rock y misticismo, el segundo rock, opera e instrumentos poco usuales y el ultimo por tener "atmósferas" muy muy especiales, como la de Drowse y la de Teo Torriate.

Ademas, los tres coinciden en tener canciones de la gran ****, obviamente!!

Pero creo que cada cual con su estilo, todos los albumes de Queen son muy buenos, incluso Hot Space.

El tuyo?

[rollingstone80]

@SpiralPegasus

Pues todos me gustan, pero si hay dos que considero especiales, aunque esto me traiga broncas con los fanaticos mas puristas es el Hot Space, no se, es muy de mi estilo, me hubiese gustado mas discos asi, pero los demas no demeritan. Oye compañero, verdad que, en Queen II, las canciones que van de Ogre Battle hasta March of the black queen, son como parte de una opera rock.

[SpiralPegasus]

Pues, Hot Space tiene lo suyo... creo que con uno está bien, honestamente siempre fueron mejores en rock que en funk pero joder, es QUEEN, no puede ser malo xD

y si, Queen 2 parece todo una opera rock en general, eso es de las cosas que hacen que sea uno de mis grandes favoritos.

[rollingstone80]

@SpiralPegasus

Me gustan todos sus albumes, en serio, TODOS son dignos de esucharse una y otra vez, hasta el Flash Gordon, si se escucha de corrido y tranquilamente es algo muy grato, algo asi como el "TOMMY" de los Who, una obra maestra, quizas la única cancion que en verdad no soporto de los queen es "modern times of rock and roll" no se, no me late, ademas de que Taylor, aunque es un excelente compositor y baterista, es mi integrante de Queen menos favorito

[SpiralPegasus]

El de Flash ha de ser mi "menos favorito" pero si, es bueno. Football Fight es recalcable, igual que Attack of the Hawk Men.

Modern Times para mi es fantastica... hay dos o tres temas que no me gustan de Queen, pero no es que sea un dolor oirlos tampoco...

son

Funny How Love Is

Cool Cat

Loser in The End

My Baby Does Me y

Mustapha

Pero claro, es solo mi opinión...

[rollingstone80]

@SpiralPegasus

Tienes messenger compañero para estar mas en contacto en lo que a queen se refiere y compartir material

[WallStreetPanic]

I love this song so much i find myself randomly singing it, obviously not as good as Freddie, though!

[jersy2007]

Me gusta como Freddie pronuncia las S

[jersy2007]

que buena la canción, tampoco la había escuchado nunca

[Sgtpepper212]

I just found out about this song and LOVE it(: never disapointed by you guys(:

[TheFredpictures]

Mad The Swine. Surement ma préférée !! Trop belle chanson =) ♥

[queenrocks21]

I have this song on a bootleg CD from Italy called 'Queen In Nuce'. It contains songs by Smile, Early Queen and I think even some of Ibex

[SyntaxErrorinline10]

it's not a bootleg cd.

[rekoonsghjkl]

Great song it would have been a hit then because it sounds very 70s

[proserpao]

gran tema en definitiva. Queen es simplemente sinónimo de la perfección...

[szuri1982]

I love this song. Thankyou DavidRFuller for all the rarities. Freddie lives forever.

[kakarrata]

Great little song... Freddie is great as always.

[jelosarivas]

are you sure that this song is of 1991?

i think freddie has very fine voice, i think this song is a 1970's song

[teo2712]

Mad the Swine was originally the continuation for Great King Rat (recorded in 1973), but it was later dropped and not included with Queen I until 1991 Us re-release..

[jelosarivas]

aaaam ok thanks for the information

it's a good song, thanks

[ToyKotoMadman]

Mad The Swine was the B-side to Headlong as well. I love that guitar solo and the whole song, in both Mad The Swine and Headlong. The vocals, nice! Freddie, we love you forever

[JapaninArmeija]

This is even better song than some album tracks. I don't exactly know why this was left out of the first Queen album, bad mixing maybe, and remixed only in 1991?

[SPeacock]

Apparently, this track was left off the album because the band did not like the quality of the percussion / drums.

[jinura]

Then that's some great drumming they wanted. Rogers great here! :D

[SPeacock]

Yeah. Bit of a shame this track was not included on the album - their loss, eh? :)

[JacquesFlamel]

Great song.

[rekoonsghjkl]

I thought that 3 mounth ago that all of the Queen song I hadn't heard yet weren't going to move me or have any effect on me but how wrong I was. RIP Freddie Mercury(Mr Bad Guy)

[snackpharm]

RIP buddy.

[423likeajewel]

thank you davidrfuller!! im so happy that youve put all this queen stuff on youtube.

i <3 queen!

[evilpasty]

Have to agree with you there. Queen at the Beeb is great. Especially the extended Son & Daughter. If you don't have it find it :-P

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Buena música y buenas fotos!

[FREDDIEKINGOFQUEEN]

Great song.....as always....from the greatest band who also walked on water!

FREDDIE - THE GENIUS GOD OF MUSIC - !!!!!!!

[FREDDIEMANIAC]

This song is so great! It's just terrific!!

QUEEN ROCKSSSSS!!!!!!!!

FREDDIE - THE GOD OF ROCK - !!!!!!!!!!

Interesting choice of words.....does anybody know what's behind them?

[queenluver213]

HAHA 1:48 look at his face!!! i love Queen.

[Tonytnz]

Queen seem to have a song for every occasion!

[pzrplam]

could not agree more. There is always a good Queen track to go with some emotion I have, and its usually relevant in someway i cant describe it, theyre just too awesome

[bigmeatyboy1]

@nickdog670 the swine flu is a pretty old sickness 

[LaurensDogg]

If you people dig Queen I, be sure to check out Queen at the Beeb. A live performance of some of Queen I's greatest (including Great King Rat, Fairy King, Liar, etc.) and one from Queen II (Ogre Battle). It's awesomeness is nearly inconceivable.

[shortcuttocos]

finally I found this song!

yeeey :D

[linngal]

Freddie walked on water also!

[ImKevin15]

Cool xd

[StargazerMay]

Perfect.... Just perfect!

[po90o9ooilk]

che roba

[sk992085]

I come to save you save you

good lyrics to me !!

[FISHOFTHEDAY1471]

Only Queen could cut a quality song like this from general release!!

[SPeacock]

This song was originally meant to be a continuation of Great King Rat, but it was cut because the band (particularly Roger) did not like the quality of the drum beats in this song.

[ImKevin15]

THEY CALL ME MAD THE SWINE, MAD THE SWINE

Love it <3

[tishyoursforever]

It is an early Queen song...!

[FRocker93]

This song has very similar aspect to the early queen songs.... just great!

[mizbataat]

love this song.. and the pics are AWESOME

[YVONNE241191]

Just Great!

AWESOME pictures!

[wolfenklaue]

Brian and Roger need to stop touring with Paul Rodgers and get to work on releasing/remastering unreleased and unfinished gems like this one.

[sunburntpanda55]

this was released on their first self titled album

was not unfinshed

[queenrocks21]

I've been a Queen fan for as long as I can remember, but it's only recently that I've realised how brilliant this song is. It just shows how great Freddies voice is and how talented all 4 of them were. RIP Freddie

[louisejbjb]

The more I listen the more I want to listen. Especially love the beginning "and this time I wear no sandals"

I don't believe that this is an actual hymn but it should be. The message is loud and clear that we are all equal in God's eyes.

[Lenilson1993Frehley]

My favorite song of Queen.

[enajyram95]

very nice!

[rockernt]

it's kind of a christian song?! Am I right?!

that the hell means "mad the swine"??

I'm don't speak english that well!!

beautiful song!!

[Cachid]

Apart from all....QUEEN ROCKS !!! B-) B-) B-)

[groenhvid]

tyranossaurus rex and motown at the same time...great cute song... a mercury song??? or all queen?? tahx david once again, u r a star

[lovefreddie91]

It's a queen song (you can recognize the Brian May's guitar sound.)

[groenhvid]

Well, not really sure about it being a May song...The (pseudo religious) lyrics and the changes in melody and rhythm are very much like other Freddie's early songs Jesus, Great King Rat, Liar and Queen II's Black side, aren't they (:))...?

Well Whatever it is just a fantastic song anyway... See you around lovefreddie91

[brightonrock74]

It's a Freddie song according to Queenpedia.

[CapNoShura]

really? o.o

[littlebignote]

This one of my favorites. I love this song, bacause its beuaty.

[mcskittle2424]

he sounds like justin timberlake if you think about it, except justin timberlake sings about drugs and penis

[MalquiLans]

It's obviously from that session but it doesn't quite merge with the other tracks on Q1 really. Great tracks are always left off if they don't fit. Sweet Head from the Bowie Ziggy sessions is great, but even though it's a ziggy song it doesn't match the mood of the album. We're just lucky they don't always erase them!!!

[queenofhearts321]

oh I love Freddies voice in this..and this is one of my favs..

[bryemycaz]

Recorded during the Queen sessions in 1973. It original was segued between Great King Rat and My Fairy King. It was removed before the album was released. This is also the reason why it fades into vocals the start of the song would have been the end of Great King Rat.

[Nerdpower4]

Wait! "Doing All Right" makes Queen I, but this gets cut. What the fuck. It wasn't even released until 1991. Not even on a single! Com'on!

[aquesantonio]

its crazy how people are in disbelief that its actually freddy singing in they're older cds but it just shows how diverse and beautiful his voice is. the most gifted singer to ever bless the universe.

[RedSpecial1963]

I don't understand!!!

how many unreleased songs are there ??! i mean which are not in the albums !!!

everytime i think "okay now it's the last you've never heard" but again again there are others which come from nowhere !!! lool

See what i mean?!

[marvinp01]

love the pic at 2:40

[MalquiLans]

Go buy/download the first 2 Queen albums & then you May understand what this is all about...... Don't run the risk of sounding like a chump - It's not good for the image & I know, believe me....

[WhiteQueenK]

This is one of the many, MANY reasons why I love Queen and have since my sisters and I discovered them in 1974; they wrote about everything - from Jesus to ogres, from love to death, jealousy and making love... They sang in Japanese and in Arabic!! Please! Tell me of another band who is as brilliant, talented and artistic than Queen... I DIDN'T THINK SO!!! LOL!!

[Wewillrokk4ever]

yeah good points, +not too many bands have members who all got degrees in college. their intellegence shows in their music

[dyonker]

Queen II is my all time favorite album

[linngal]

WhiteQueenK, you have summarized Queen perfectly here.. Great input....thanks for posting that message!

[otaviotheman]

Awesome! I used to love Queen... but then I listened to all the songs they ever made... Well, at least I thought so. These unrealesed songs make my day.

Sorry for any spelling and grammar mistakes. I'm from Brazil.

[123vid321]

this song is MAGNIFICENT :)

[movingtarget1978]

Very interesting. I fell out of love with Queen a long long time ago but I remember hearing this song as a B=side in about '91 and loved it. I was only 13 then but I knew it sounded out of place on that rubbish single. I knew then it must have been an old unreleased track. It's taken about 17 years to get that confirmed. Thankyou.

[JIF882]

Were the drums possibly recorded in '91? They sound newer? I love this album. I also have 2, SHA, N@O, D@R, NOTW, Jazz, the Game, and AKM. All the '91 remasters. Queen did it right. Releasing their remasters once, and only once. Not a dozen times, or so, like some other bands

[Holtan87]

a very good pre-queen song!

[AKindOfMagic123]

this sounds very Queen II

i love that album, especially Fairy Feller's Master Stroke

[JIF882]

That is my fav(and Axl Rose's) fav, too. Although, my favs are Father To Son, White Queen, and Funny How Love Is. Also love the Seven Seas of Rye B-side, See What A Fool I've Been, which was included on the '91 Queen2 reissue

[queenfanforever]

i looove this sonnnng xD

[FredDarlingMercury]

ooo yes! mad the swine, i lovee it. gorgeous, freddie sounds gorgeous.xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[nemrodchile]

in fact it's from 1973

[stormersam30]

Wow, this is a way early Queen song. You could tell that they were going to be something way back then. It is interesting that so many of their early songs had a religious bent to them. I think this is on an album called Preordained or something like that. It was released way after the fact.

[magicsuicidevision39]

this is a very bizzare song. lol i still love it

[ashbyiron]

The percussion on early on this track is similar to the percussion on "Night Comes Down" on their debut album.

Both excellent trakcs, thanku for uploading! Where do you get all this stuff its excellent!
