Here comes Sanjuro to offer us his niche music... Sanjuro who hasn't even listened to the album. I want to ask you something Sanjuro: supercazzolaprematurataconscappella mentoadestraoasinistra?

Ha ha ha! Looks like you’re getting a bit heated! Just because I pointed out your ignorance on the subject. You may have listened to whatever you want, but the fact remains that you speak without proper understanding. No more climbing on mirrors; your ignorance has been made clear. Let's cover it with a shroud of mercy, okay?
ps - Anyway, from your way of writing, it’s clear that you’re not over 20, so your senior year was just the other day. Then, look at all those contradictions:
“actually, I don’t know the album well enough to give a real judgement”;
“but when ‘Living on My Own’ came out, it was an endless hit that was heard on every corner”;
BUT then, CONTRA:
“but I wasn’t talking about the remix”;
“even though in ’85 it wasn’t played on the radio and I might have heard (SIC!) the remix, I know the original and I’ve heard the album”.
Oh my goodness!

just because I enjoy calling out liars. There are two possibilities. Either you were living in London in '85 (because in Italy this record went unnoticed) and then you had the chance to verify the release of "Living on My Own" and you’re lying just the same, since even back then it was a bit of a flop, far from being overplayed on the radio. Or you did a hasty Google search and didn’t understand a thing of what you read. I deal with liars, unfortunately or fortunately. All this considering that I find the second hypothesis much more likely; you were probably just born in '85, and you threw a lucky shot. Why don’t you at least do your research? There are plenty of Queen sites where you could have easily gathered this information. You’ve revealed yourself to be just someone who comes in to spout the usual clichés about Freddie Mercury without even knowing his discography, forgetting that he is the author (better to say co-author, but his input was essential) of albums like "Queen II," "A Night at the Opera," "A Day at the Races." But of course, "I Regina," who doesn’t even authenticate himself, knows much more about music than people like Mike Moran or Montserrat Caballé, who obviously went to ruin their careers with a "Christmas tree." Fortunately, your borrowed and Ondarockian arguments are so meager, self-referential, and pathetic that they aren’t even worthy of minimal consideration.

But how ignorant you are, poor little one! Just so you know, I'm talking about "Living on My Own" by Mr. Bad Guy, which is from '85; you’ve only heard the '93 remix. And I actually listen to you!! One thing is Pausini, who gets her songs written for her and releases them all, another is Mr. Bad Guy, of whom you only know a couple of songs, and even remixed ones, so it’s better if you hush up before making more mistakes. It’s a disco album, with some nice tracks, whether you like it or not. If you’re looking for niche music, you certainly won’t find it here. But look, I have to explain this to you!

Yes, and what are you doing here? I listen to La Pausini on the radio, unfortunately... because there might be some interesting programs that play that stuff from the majors. I give Mr. Bad Guy whatever I want, okay? Go for artists you know. You definitely haven't heard this on the radio.

I explained why I gave it a 5, are you illiterate as well as presumptuous? Unlike you, I talk about things I know, maybe you should do the same instead of spreading embarrassment around. We couldn't care less about your idea of music when you don't even listen to the album and come here quoting Scaruffi.

I want to be clear: I think many of you don't understand a damn thing about Mercury's intentions for this album. First, let's clarify that Mr. Bad Guy was a commercially unsuccessful album in '85, even though it’s a "disco" album. Freddie said that Mr. Bad Guy was a kind of gift he wanted to give to himself: he wanted to waste some money while having fun and doing something he couldn't do with Queen. That's it. It's a light, unpretentious record, but it has great moments, like the title track, fabulously pompous, and Living on my own, a dark and sarcastic disco piece.
It seems to me that it's not the fans who give so much importance to everything surrounding Queen, but others. Those who follow Scaruffi, for whom the only music is the expressionist and rough kind, looking down on everything that's not experimental—at least according to them.
I’m very fond of Mr. Bad Guy and I give it a 5, even though objectively it doesn't deserve it. Then I read the comments from that idiot "I Regina" and I'm even more convinced of my score. He wrote 5 lines to show off his culture, spewing out what he learned from "masters" like Mr_Iko (who is a student of Scaruffi and Onda Rock and various last-minute encyclopedias), but he only proved his great ignorance. Also, Fat Bottomed Girls was written by May. Mercury wrote things like "You take my breath away," but I don't expect you to understand. The same Fat Bottomed Girls had a parodic intent (the solemn atmosphere with which it opens doesn’t tell you anything, does it, empty head?) that obviously I Regina is far from understanding. He knows F.B. Girls only because he mastered the Greatest Hits.

Oh mother birbabirba, how do you write? Are you perhaps dyslexic?

I said it and I’ll repeat it, I don’t need to try to listen to anything, I’ve already heard too much about this being. By the way: "quasi amore" and "nomadi d'amore".... what shitty titles! Let me guess.... they’re about Michelle!

Anyway, I see that Queen are often talked about in generalities. They shouldn't be judged based on experimentalism or technique. Rock 'n' roll is the freedom to be, not about intellect, nor style exercises. So, those who say that Brian May had little technique have discovered hot water. Brian May is brilliant, just like Freddie (and also Taylor and Deacon, in certain ways) for their compositional flair. For the overdubbed guitars in "White Queen." Freddie wasn't a great pianist: but he had an ear and talent, pulling out genius musical passages from nowhere (see "In the Lap of the Gods," "Killer Queen"). Freddie wasn't particularly trained as a singer either, but with his voice, he could do everything, and the slides in tone he used during concerts added power to the performance. Unfortunately, Queen are targeted for reasons that are not their fault, such as the success of their Greatest Hits that made them a commercial phenomenon; the iconography of Freddie with his mustache and the yellow jacket from Wembley; the media return of the first AIDS death of an international rock star. The fact is this: the musical variety found in Queen is not found in any other artist or group in the world. The adjective "overrated," which is very fashionable here on DeBaser when talking about Queen, you can shove it up your ass.
