Man Made Paradise was worked on by Queen for The Works album, but it never quite got there. There are versions of the song AS a Queen song, but it has never leaked anywhere. Faithful subscriber... always seeing where you're going on this journey! Good times, brother! Keep going :D
Funny that originally it was thought to be something closer to the "Hot Space" album, they even recorded it around 82/83, but Freddie decided to re-record it in 1984/85
Musicians involved on the album "Mr Bad Guy", by Freddie Mercury (1985): Freddie Mercury - vocals, piano, synthesizer Fred Mandel - additional piano, synthesizer, rhythm guitar Paul Vincent - lead guitar Curt Cress - drums Stephan Wissnet - bass guitar Jo Burt - bass guitar on "Man Made Paradise" Mack and Stephan Wissnet - programming Rainer Pietsch - orchestral arrangements Produced by Mack and Freddie Mercury Engineered by Mack
Wow, glad you like it. One of my Freddie favorites. I have this on my playlist in the morning while I prepare to go to work lol,very upbeat with amazing Freddie magic.
David, if you want to hear Freddie at his very best with Montsy, check out Guide me Home, it is the beginning on How Can I go On. His voice is so powerful and the lyrics are so beautiful
I have been listening to you for sometime now. Love your channel. I have no right to make a request. Just wondered why you never have reacted to Elvis. Elvis and Freddie Mercury are the best.
Some of his solo stuff is incredible. I remember your reaction to the song, in my defence. Check out living on my own, completely different from his usual stuff. He also did a guest vocal on love is the hero by billy squire...incredible intro to a song
Ah, yes... Finally you reacted to this beautiful song... Of course I had expected you to be impressed with the end! (Hahaha, Classic Freddie, he always catches you off guard😜😜😜)! Now tell me, did you remind something? I strongly believe that's where "Barcelona" born from... Just listen carefully. Fun fact : It was one day when Freddie was in the studio in Munich recording his album "Mr Bad Guy" and at some point he was stressed and moody about something. Then suddenly, he played a record of Montserrat Caballé. He turned to his producer and friend Mack aka Reinhold Mack (the Game & Hot Space) and some others and said "just listen, this is real music".
This song was first proposed as a Queen song, but when the band tried it and didn't see much potential for Queen, Freddie ended up recording it for his solo album. It could have been on 'Hot Space' or The Works'. Also, regarding the comment you made on "In My Defence": it was recorded a few months after this album was released. Freddie 's album was recorded between early 1983 and early 1985, and In My Defence was recorded later in 1985. As for the album charting… yeah, it was not a major hit but also not a complete dud. It did reach 6th place in the UK charts, but only 159 in the Billboard 200 in the US. It did fairly well in other European countries - it reached 23rd in Austria, 17th in the Netherlands, 14th in Switzerland, 13th in Norway, and 11th in Germany. But yeah, the UK was the only territory where it got to the Top 10.
Thank you David for uploading this watched it on your live stream love the ending still waiting for you to react to the making of The Great Pretender if you want to see Freddie having fun this is the one take care David x x
Time and In my defense were both from a musical produced by Dave Clark of the Dave Clark 5 from late 60s. You see him in behind the scenes footage of I'm going slightly mad set
If I remember correctly when aksed about this album Brian said something along the lines of, "They hired a guitar player that sounded like me. Why didn't they ask me?" 😂
SORRY ABOUT THE AUDIO QUALITY! Was from a stream I did a while back. Enjoy anyways guys!
Freddie was so amazing, the things he could do with his voice was beyond human ❤ great reaction David
Nothing Freddie Mercury was able to do with his voice surprises me anymore.

Thank you David. Feel like crying listening to Freddie at the end of this odd but fabulous song. I’m just a wimp 😂
Maybe the Angels in Paradise singing?

Yeah that is great!😊
Good night friend, I'm Brazilian and I like your reactions. could you react to more tracks from this mercury solo album. he is very good
FANTASTIC reaction REALLY REALLY enjoyed it
Thank you David for uploading this watched it on your live stream love the ending still waiting for you to react to the making of The Great Pretender if you want to see Freddie having fun this is the one take care David x x
Loved your reaction as always . I love this song , haven’t heard it In a long time ❤
You are correct, the lyrics are sad, while the music is so upbeat, a real dichotomy...I really like it, tho!
Nice one David 👍👏 you should do some more reactions from the Mr bad guy album theirs some good songs on it 👊
Time and In my defense were both from a musical produced by Dave Clark of the Dave Clark 5 from late 60s. You see him in behind the scenes footage of I'm going slightly mad set
I love this album, this was pre "Exercises in free love" and the "Barcelona" album, his voice was sublime.
This sounds like a demo, not a finished song. I have never really listened to this album all the way through so it was nice to hear this song.
This album has this kind of "stripped down" vibe, only Freddie with his piano and a band.
It was released in 1985 David i still have the album.
This is a wonderful album! To me, Freddie shines here and Man Made Paradise is my favourite. Thanks for the reaction! (from Lise Hull)
If I remember correctly when aksed about this album Brian said something along the lines of, "They hired a guitar player that sounded like me. Why didn't they ask me?" 😂
React to some of Freddie's demos . It's So You is fantastic
Freddie created. He did his thing. . . tones and/or tempos not at all expected, beautiful tho. That ending!!!
The 5th of April were my birthday 🎉
❤❤❤❤👏👏👏listen Mr. Bad Guy
In my defence is from 1986. The Mr. Bad guy Album came out 1985
Grest video. You need hear Rachmaninov's Revenge later version
check out the original album .
Roger stated that it took Freddie a long time to finish the album, Freddie seemed conflicted or disinterested, maybe could not focus on it, who knows
