sword&tulipz Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I was just listening to various songs by Queen on YouTube when I came across a song called "All Dead, All Dead". The instrumental introduction to the song is very similar to Street of Dreams. Knowing that Axl is a huge Queen-fan is it possible he could have based his introduction on this song?

grouse Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Please excuse me for me making a useless reply like this but im a little tipsy hehe, Queen and guns are the best bands ever! Fuck yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Queen is one of the best bands ever. GN'R, even all incarnations considered, I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon Wolf Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 All Dead All Dead is one of my favourite Queen-songs. Great tune. Brian May wrote and sang it and he also plays the piano on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grouse Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I agree that whatever incarnation of guns couldn't hold a candle to Queen but you gotta admit that the original line up came pretty damn close but a distant secondAll Dead All Dead is one of my favourite Queen-songs. Great tune. Brian May wrote and sang it and he also plays the piano on it. I love pretty much all of the May tunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I would put them far behind Queen, Led Zeppelin or ACDC - Bon Scott Era. But being behind such bands ain't that bad, right ? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno P. Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Queen is one of the best bands ever. GN'R, even all incarnations considered, I don't think so.Queen is probably the best Hard Rock band ever. None of the guys in Guns came close to them.

machinegunner Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I think of Queen as pretty hit and miss. They cared about great singles and as long as they had enough of those they didn't mind having some clunker album tracks as well. Live performance-wise though they were excellent.

wasted Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 To me SOD sounds like Elton and TIL sounds like Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live performance-wise though they were excellent.Pre-Hot Space (Jazz excluded) they had great albums plus The Miracle and Innuendo.Slightly similar. All Dead was written about May's cat.

bucketmaster101 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I feel like the only person in the world who really hates Queen... I just don't like them at all, with the exception of I want it all... So meh xXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It's a known fact that Axl took a lot of inspiration from Queen and rightly so, since they're the best rock band ever.But I'd say Catcher in the Rye has more of a Queen vibe than SOD overall.... Especially the demo solo part played by Brian May... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword&tulipz Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Im not sure if I made myself clear here, bt Im talking about the first 10 seconds (instrumental) of All Dead, All Dead...Then u listen to the instrumental intro on SOD...its pretty similar to me.Vocal wise and generally speaking I think Axl is quite influenced by Nazareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvH Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Honestly, I think you hear similarities because.you know Axl loved Queen. But piano and layers of vocals harmonies aren't enough to make a Queen song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I also think SOD is very Elton inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Nash Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I said it before. CD always remind me that feel of late Queen (Miracle/Innuendo/MadeinHeaven). No other band or artist can replicate that feel but Axl.No all we need is Axl to call John Deacon and take him out of retirement to write a couple of hits.

machinegunner Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Haha Deacon is *the shit*... he wrote Back Chat if I'm not mistaken...

All Dead was written about May's cat. I made a CDR disk for my car and had to include the first few albums in their entirety, that is how they worked, then i started picking out songs from their other albums. Overall, a remarkable body of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Music in general miss his contributions, but we got the legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaida Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Queen have had so many hits, it is amazing what they achieved. I love their older material (older hits). The finnal album of their's I picked up was The Miracle, and it was so, so. The only tracks I liked were:I Want It All Breakthru Funny enough I believe this video to be filmed down the road from where I lived. Believe it or not, Brain May walked into our local corner shop while I was in the shop hanging around playing the amusement machines that were around back then. He pulled up driving a red Mercedes. There was a female in the car with dark black curly hair, and that was around the time he was going out with Anita Baker, so that could have been her, I couldn't really see through the car window. I told my sister who had just walked into the corner shop, and it was her that mentioned she had heard Queen were in the area filming a video, and the Breakthru video is about the only video that looks like it could have been filmed in the area (and hadn't already been released at that time).
