Queen möchte MJ & FM Songs veröffentlichen

[Dreamerdancer]

Davon gehe ich aus, daß die Demos auch zu hören sind.Hoffentlich.

[Tijaju]

Nachdem es nun in sämtlichen Internetportalen und Zeitschriften zu lesen ist, hoffe ich mal, daß wir die Songs auch öfter mal im Radio hören und auch ein, zwei oder gar drei () Videos dazu produziert werden. Ich wünsche mir einfach, daß es ALLE mitbekommen und nicht nur die Queen - u. MJ Fans!

Naja, wenn 2 tote Superstars im Duett zu hören sind, hat das natürlich Kult- & Chartpotential!

Darüber hinaus hören die Herausgeber vermutlich schon jetzt ihre Kassen klingeln...

Ich hoffe ja sehr auf ne Auskopplung von TMBMTLTT, weil da der Text toll & wertvoll ist.

[Lena]

Bitte schön:

[Memphis]

danke @lena! langsam schäme ich micht
wieso lässt man die songst nicht in ihrer urfassung?
verstehe auch nicht wieso andere den drang haben, dass "alle" sie hören müssen. sind doch schöne sammler-stücke. im radio werden diese stücke doch nur "verleiert"!

[Lena]

Aber das ist ja nicht die Urfassung des "There Must Be More To Life Than This"-Duetts. Das ist ein Fan-Made-Video zusammengebastelt aus Freddies Version was auf dem Queen-Album veröffentlicht wurde und ein Leak von Michaels Soloversion. State of shock hatte Michael mit Mick Jagger auf dem Jackson-Album Victory veröffentlicht, die Version mit Freddie kennen wir gar nicht und der Song Victory ist vollkommen unbekannt.

Interviewausschnitt von Radio Prag, vom 2.8.2013 - mit Peter Freestone, der 12 Jahre lang der persönliche Assistent von Freddie Mercury war. Er spricht natürlich auch über die 3 Tracks, und wie sie entstanden.


Peter Freestone - former personal assistant to Freddie Mercury – discusses forgotten tracks the singer taped with Michael Jackson

The Times and Rolling Stone both caught fans’ attention this week by confirming that three lost songs Freddie recorded 30 years ago with Michael Jackson will be released later this year. At least one version of one of the songs is already well-known; another, called Victory, is not, and if I am not mistaken has never been heard. Did you ever wonder to yourself, since you were there at the time, whether these songs would ever be released?

“Because they were Michael’s property – they were recorded in his own studio in his home – I never expected them to see the light of day. But I am very happy they will. Two of the tracks have had various treatment by fans over the years – State of Shock and There Must Be More to Life Than This, both of which were released in different forms. One on the Jacksons’ album and one on Queen’s; but the third one, Victory, is something that has never been heard before.
“I still have some memories of it because I was there when it was recorded in the studio. In fact, on the original tape – and I don’t know if this will still exist – I played what you hear as the bass drum on the track. Only it isn’t a bass drum: what you hear is a toilet door! I had to stand there for five minutes banging a toilet door! So, you know, I think it is going to be something for people to enjoy, it should be very interesting.”

Hopefully that stays on the track!
“I hope so!” (laughs)

Do you think the release of the third song could cause a sensation?
“I really hope so. Of course even the other two tracks will receive different treatment now that Queen are involved in the production. I am sure that they will be paying attention to Freddie’s voice and the production of the whole track. They are perfectionists and everything has to be just right. But I believe that it will be worth the wait.”

Where did the impulse to work together come from?
“The first that I heard about it was when Michael came to a Queen show at the Forum in Los Angeles. I remember him talking in the corner with Freddie and John. Afterwards Freddie said 'Huh! Michael says we should be doing something together because he loves what he’s heard!' Because he’d been listening to Another One Bites the Dust and loved that and the whole feel of it. So Freddie said 'He wants to meet up to record. Ah, but it’ll never happen, it’s just talk!'. Months later that was followed up with a phone call from Michael, because he had heard Freddie was in L.A. and he invited him over.”

My understanding is that that meeting was less than optimal...
(burst of laughter) “I know what you are referring to. Well, Michael, if you remember, at that time in his place in Encino had almost a mini-zoo and his favourite animals at the time were the llamas. Given it was summer in Los Angeles, Freddie wore a white t-shirt, white jeans, white trainers and after the tour his t-shirt was white jeans with the bottoms brown with spattered mud and brown trainers because we’d had been traipsing through the mud.”
“Michael also took us around his home and in his bedroom and it was so funny: he had a large terrarium with a big snake inside. Publically, Michael said it was a great friend and the best and a really good and amazing snake... we couldn’t help but notice that there were about forty bricks keeping the lid of the terrarium down, to make sure it could not get out!”

That’s cute!
“Yeah, it’s amazing what can be said in public and the little different facts behind it!”

The actual recordings: when were those done, on a different day?
“No it was the same day. Both of them were really busy recording and touring in 1983. Michael wanted Freddie to finish State of Shock because he wanted it for the Jacksons’ album called Victory. But Freddie had very little time and he wasn’t able to finish it. So Michael suggested that Mick Jagger could sing the other part and Freddie said of course it’s your music, he didn’t object. For time reasons, the two weren’t able to pick up the material again.”

How does the quality of the vocals strike you in terms of how the singers complement each other? Freddie was such a powerhouse singer...
“I think because they are so different that it works very well. If both of them had powerful voices it would seem almost like a competition. You used the right word with ‘complement’: the two voices work together very well and it’s like a conversation.”

@lena! mit der urfassung meinte ich es allgemein - und nicht das video (mit den video war mir bekannt).

Heute meldet sich Roger Taylor mal dazu.


Queen rocker Roger Taylor blames the Michael Jackson Estate for a four-year delay in the release of Michael’s secret duets with Freddie Mercury.
The existence of several unreleased collaborations between the two pop icons was revealed by the band’s guitarist, Brian May, in 2009, days after Michael died. Taylor and May worked together to finish the incomplete tracks and they are hoping the songs will be released later this year (2013), but Taylor blames those in charge of Michael’s estate for holding up the project.
He tells Mojo magazine, “Freddie and Michael never finished the songs, because Queen had to leave L.A. to go on tour. Brian and I have worked on them, which means they’ll come out as Queen and Michael Jackson – hopefully… if the Michael Jackson estate can get its a**e into gear.” Hihi!

auf Deutsch von maja5309 aus dem Forever:

Roger Taylor sagte, dass MJs Estate daran schuld sei, dass die songs jetzt schon seit 4 Jahren verspätet herauskommen... seit 2009 Brian May ankündigte, dass es mehrere unveröffentlichte Zusammenarbeiten zwischen Freddie und Michael gab. Er sagt, dass die Songs hoffentlich herauskommen werden..."wenn das Estate von MJ seinen A***h hoch bekommt"
