Hey,

Here's a cover song that took me a lot of time to make. Like many others, when I was young I was fascinated by this incredible song and its brilliant vocals. Later I was equally fascinated by the production and mixing work, considering the limitations of the analog gear at that time. Covering this song allowed me to learn a lot on production and mixing.

I had to play it 2 tones lower because I wasn't able to reach the high notes in the opera part, which made it a bit tricky for the bass and guitar parts. Two friends provided me with the bass and guitars, and I did the rest (vocals, piano, drums).

I am obviously no Freddy Mercury but I hope you will enjoy listening to this slightly different rendition and that I did this song some justice.

No one will do it better than freddie.but to attempt this song requires massive balls of steel.
2 thumbs up! I enjoyed it..

This coming fr a crazed queen fan.
 
Amazing production! The recording/mixing is really good.

Are you using real drums?
 
Wow thanks cruxgod, coming from a Queen fan this means a lot to me.

Soft, I wish I could but I am using a vsti (EZDrummer) on this one. I am currently working on an original song with a real acoustic drum kit and it's 10x more enjoyable to mix!
