Queen - Innuendo

Just sharing this song cause I think its great. Great lyrics, great guitar work, and great video.

I believe it was right before Freddie Mercury died.

Man I really dug that, like you said, the music, video and message are all good. I had never heard/seen this work, so thanks much mayabong. It sounded a little Scorpion Zooish at first, but the switching directions to flamenco and then heavy was schweet. I would consider it overall an avant garde piece of work.

Peace,

This is my favourite Queen song, and i am a huge queen fan.

This is widely considered their Magnus Opus, and their best work ever.

vvv

Awesome song and video.. what really amazes me about Freddie is he literally made these videos: Innuendo, Slightly Mad, These are the days of our lives MONTHS before he died.. which is why they are in black and white: it hid his illness better... I also heard he had to take really long breaks because he was so weak during filming.

While we live according to race, colour or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion
Through the eons, and on and on
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
We'll tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin'
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

I posted this at some point on the Mood music thread, I think...incredible lyrics...one of my favourites. Deserves a thread all of it's own
