Well They (“Technically”) Did. It Was Performed At The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, Back In 1992. Sadly Freddie Wasn’t There To Sing It With Queen And David Bowie, But Bowie Did Take On Lead Vocals...
They were joined by Annie Lennox and together they did an amazing live version of the the song - it was almost like Freddies spirit was present (maybe it was). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mK1OZstfCrY.html
@@hazelwray4184 im sure when artists are receiving millions of dollars from gate receipts to perform these songs repeatidly makes it a much softer crash..because they get kibble from record sales.
I found the link of the Freddie Statue in Montreaux. I always wondered what Freddie had to do with Switzerland, and here it is. I worked there for a few months and was mesmerised by the link.
@@TwiloJay Hi , I am indeed. How did you know John? He died a long time ago having worked on manly classical music and film scores after the rock and prog at Mountain Studios. He told me a lot of stories about his time there and the various artists he recorded. I revisited Montreux a few years ago and learned the studio has now moved. James.
I'd just like to say, Thank you, Universe, for having such a cool thing happen for us; we're all terribly happy with it, down here. A bit more of that and a bit less on the asteroid strikes, if you please.
Again, a transcendent, anomaly. You could never put a label on that man because he was forever just trying to figure himself out and he did it bravely in public without any care of being judged by, fill in the blanks!
@@toddmathers5075 what's your problem? Quelle The Guardian. David Bowie and Queen recorded a whole batch of songs that have never been released, according to a former roadie. The tantalising prospect of a hidden cache of recordings by such huge rock stars has been revealed by Peter Hince, who was head of Queen’s road crew when the band and Bowie collaborated on their hit song, Under Pressure, in 1981. He has disclosed that there was “other material Queen recorded with Bowie that never got released”. He was in the studio with them when they performed and recorded it.
Apparently, he recorded another track with Queen at the same time and Queen wanted to release it but Bowie then changed his mind at the last minute. Freddie was actually mad about it and I saw an interview where he was complaining as they had it lined up for release and inclusion on their album but Bowie decided he didn't like it. I'd love to hear it if anyone know if it was eventually released anywhere or is online?
@P. M. - Yes, thanks, that's it. I found this about it online and a link to the version with Bowie. I'd remembered the interview but did not know it worked its way out on bootlegs long ago and probably been online forever. I didn't know the name just that another track had been recorded at the same time and then stopped by Bowie. "Cool Cat" Main article: Cool Cat (Queen song) "Cool Cat", written by Mercury and Deacon, originally featured David Bowie on backing vocals and a few lines of spoken word to a rhythm during the middle eight. According to Mercury in a 1982 TV interview, Bowie was unhappy with the results and requested that his vocals be removed days before its parent album was slated to be released. With the exception of the electric piano (which was played by Mercury), all the instruments are played by Deacon, including drums, guitars, and synths. On the album version, Mercury sings the entire song in falsetto. The alternate take with Bowie's vocals still intact is widely available on various bootleg recordings and surfaced from an early 1982 vinyl Hot Space test pressing from the US. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BojSYX3M1_g.html
Strange thing was that he went in. Recorded his vocal and left. Never was a duet and he took no further interest in it. It is mostly a Queen song. Strangely Bowie first met Freddie when he worked on a market stall! Yes, Freddie worked on a market!
That's not entirely true. Bowie, Freddie, and Roger Taylor later met up in New York to mix the song. He clearly had enough interest in it to give input for the mix later on in an entirely different continent.
@@SirPeter6464 Bowie's son Duncan Jones once tweeted about how his dad and Freddie had a heated argument about Under Pressure. Duncan wasn't present when it was recorded, so the argument must have happened at a later date, meaning David stayed involved.
Would you have taken the time to comment on David Bowie, if your statement and the time it took you to express it was not calculated? In life, I am learning ever so gradually that people that are much like themselves, especially in business will cause some element of conflict. I have heard enough versions of this song to know that David Bowie was exactly every thing every family needed… He was intelligent, dangerous, genius, a victim, more than he could ever count, just by being himself he saved many people Who may have thought their feelings, genetic or emotional drive was up for anybody’s questioning. He was genius, kind, funny, smart and on touch Shipley brilliant!
Any inclination that any studio was , loaned or stolen from Freddie mercury is absolutely ridiculous they both were talented beyond their talents and time will allow. Sometimes the standard influence that love and he work a fine line might just come in handy with jealousy and admiration
@@kristinasheehan7408 Geeze take it easy, admiration is one thing but blind idolatry is very different. Bowie was an incredibly talented and intelligent human being, no doubt about it, but what you're describing is a saint-like figure which he certainly was not, as every mere mortal is not. And regarding the original comment, Bowie was always a smart business man, and many of the collaborations he took part in were almost political in nature, and that's completely fine; I think the OP is saying that Bowie knew Queen were in the studio and stepped in because he knew it would lead to a succesful collaboration, which it did.
No need to be feisty. David Bowie was not only coming he was incredibly kind and certainly need not steal any air time from Freddie the Bucktooth wonder who is also incredibly talented. Any rough between them is juvenile and maybe drug-related and I don’t care but don’t throw any shade towards David Bowie being calculating the man couldn’t probably care less at the end of the day! Bowie is triumphant and untouchable!
Of course not, The Game was made for America, the album was great in North America and in Latin countries like Mexico, Brazil or Argentina, but in the United Kingdom it was not the style of music that people listened to, the same for several Europeans. countries and Oceania.
@@nadamijak9338 Maybe you're confusing it with Cool Cat? That's a queen song that originally featured Bowie's vocals, but Bowie wasn't happy with his contribution and asked Queen to remove his vocals.
Yes, in the UK, the first was Bohemian Rhapsody, the second Under Pressure, the third Innuendo. Then they had another 3 posthumously (after Freddie's death, although they are a few, it's a bit cringe like a collaboration with rappers in which Freddie doesn't even sing)
@@mister3566 What do you mean with that? I was just providing information. I know that Bowie is in that song, and that the lyrics are his, in fact, I'm here for Bowie, I'm a fan of him, not so much of Queen.
