    An “Innuendo” is a saying of hiding something in plain sight. In this case, the rest of the band knew Freddie’s time was almost up, but the rest of the world did not. They kept their friends secret and lied to the press and even their own families for years to protect him. With lines from this like “we’ll keep on smiling” he means through all the pain and illness he’s gonna be strong and sing his ass off

      it's true, most of us didn't even know he was ill - especially those of us who weren't super-huge fans or into reading tabloid gossip. The Internet was still several years away and so things just didn't spread around nearly the same. I was 17 at the time and news of his death was a shock to me (though if I'd read the paper from the day before it perhaps wouldn't have been quite so much). It was only the day before he died that he publicly announced his illness. Until then Queen still seemed to be banging out the hits (though with hindsight, the clues were certainly there).
      I woke up on the morning of 25 Nov 1991 to my radio alarm clock announcing the news, and thought it must have been a bad dream. Freddie always seemed like a force of nature to me - unstoppable...

    middle section was primarily Mercury's work, according to an interview with May in October 1994's Guitar Magazine. It features a flamenco guitar solo, followed by a classically influenced bridge, and then the solo again but performed with electric guitars. This section is especially complex, featuring a pattern of three bars in 5/4 time (reasonably uncommon in popular music) followed by five bars in the more often used 3/4 time. The end of the flamenco-guitar style is based on the 5/4 bar, but is in 6/4 time.
    The bridge section ("You can be anything you want to be") features sophisticated orchestration, created by Mercury and producer David Richards using the popular Korg M1 keyboard/synth/workstation. Mercury had arranged and co-arranged orchestras in his solo career, and closed the previous Queen album with the track "Was It All Worth It", which included a Gershwin-esque interlude also coming from an M1 synth. The Bridge section in "Innuendo" is in 3/4, showing once again Mercury's affection for triple metres: "Bicycle Race" is another one with main sections in 4/4 and middle-eight in 3/4, and some of his best-known pieces (namely "We Are the Champions" and "Somebody to Love") were in 6/8, as would be his last composition, "A Winter's Tale".
    Freddie I think did most of the lyrics,he worked on them with roger,he was very I'll by then
    It feels very much like a Freddie song

      I love Was It All Worth it. The lyrics are uplifting and kinda heartbreaking at the same time. Freddie reflecting on everything he and the band have achieved whilst now staring death in the face.
      He fought with heartbreaking bravery and dignity 💔 He is the greatest of all time in my opinion.
      No one else voice has ever excited me or made me cry with the pure emotion like Freddie's has. I am a big fan of White Queen too.
      I like this remastered version of Was It All Worth It, the fan made video is really well put together. ruclips.net/video/7rOYToPfWPA/видео.html

There are very few records that can't be broken, but the best all future bands can ever be is as good as Queen, not better.

      That's awesome...'saw many great bands back in the day but missed Queen...many forget tho that even by the time Queen played at Live Aid, they had already stopped touring in the States for years already, as album sales and popularity here, compared, emphasizing COMPARED to the 70's tanked big time Stateside, and even MTV for some reason never aired music vids from the albums ''A Kind Of Magic'' on forward all the way to ''Innuendo''...I know, as I kept a VERY close eye on what MTV was airing back in the 1980's, early 90's. I never understood why that very popula Music Network totally ignored Queen from 'A Kind Of Magic' on forward , but I guess it was because album sales dipped big time, and their songs never charted highly in the States in their latter days. The rest of the world was another story however, as they were maybe the biggest band on Earth outside of the States in the Mid/Late 80's.

This song has taken the paradigm of my #1 Queen song, still...it is completely epic in all possible ways, musicianship, vocals, power, symbolism, meaning... you name it! This album was their swan song (I know they released Made In Heaven posthumously after Freddie's passing, but this was complete!!) - what a farewell! Great reaction. God Save The Queen!!

    2 bands:
    The Warning: start with "survive" at TedX, and then "21st century blood" official video. They have a new song called "dust to dust" which is incredible.
    Motion Device: "thick skin" and then "doves and snakes'.
    There's a reason almost no one knows them, but they still are amazing! You'll see it by yourself.
    React to them and I will explain you why so good musicians are so unknown...
    Thanks a lot and enjoy!

    The guitar you love on this song is played by Steve Howe from Yes. This is the only time another musician was asked to play with them (not including a synthesizer guy).
    If you want the will time best Brian guitar part, listen to Brighton Rock. Find the lyric video. Brian wrote it. Boy and girl go on a holiday, girl leaves, boy is sad. It's amazing.

    The thing I loved about this song the most is that everything was powerful. BASS. lead guitar drums and then singing!! Also w/ Queen music, you can't let yourself get used to listening to a slow sweet bit because then they'll come in with his hardcore guitars & drum Jam that will blow your mind away. Queen songs usually have a lot of flips and switches on you and they'll get you. I want it all has some flips but they're not as Extreme as this song and Bohemian Rhapsody..
    On Mojo's top 10 count every member of Queen is listed in the top 10 whether it's a bass lead guitar drummer singer or frontman of a rock group!! I think David Gilmour and Jimmy Page were among some of the other really good guitar players. You know most of the greats of the greatest!
    Brian May and concert is like holding him back for about 10 minutes and then letting him go. You've seen a lot of their videos and he really tears it up. John Deacon is funny because he really gets down occasionally but he's not as crazy with the guitar as Brian...

    Answering your question: yes, he does tear it up live. They never got to play Innuendo live with Freddie - they were not touring anymore by then because of his illness - but they played it in April 1992 with The Robert Plant on vocals, at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert which took place on Wembley Stadium in London. A concert worth checking out.

    Watching you reacting to Innuendo is like a look back in time for me, because I still remember buying this album in 1991, getting home, putting it on the player and starting to listen to it. During the song I had to remind myself to breathe. It was literally breathtaking and my reaction to the first time I heard it was quite similar to yours. Unfortunately the never performed Innuendo live since Freddie died only a few months after the album was released.

    I wanna recommend the song "Liar" to you for next thursday or whenever you want to listen. It's from their very first album and I think it shows a lot about how their songwriting worked from the very start. The transitions may be a litle rougher, because, you know it was their very beginnings, but this is in my top 3 Queen songs until today. Well that maybe because of some personal history with the song, but I still think everybody who wants to get into Queen needs to hear this song. It's just great. Everything.

Just to let you know there is a famous (true) story that Brian May tells about the recording of "Show Must Go On", when Brian May presented Freddie with the song, he told him about the really high notes, Freddie moaned at him, as Brian said he often would, complaining of having to sing these high pitches, and Brian apologised and said if it's gonna be too difficult for you, I can change them, but Freddie the true showman right till the last, said in his own style "Oh FUCK IT....ROLL THE TAPE", he took a shot of vodka and sang the song, nailing it in ONE take, just amazing. Even Brian said he'd never heard him sing like that, but from somewhere he found that inner energy, despite the fact that his body was slowly deteriorating by the Aids virus, and yet his voice was as strong as ever.
