Talk:Made in Heaven

Obvious Symbolism?

"If one were to buy the CD, LP, or tape they would see the regular image on the front. On the back, there is another silouhette image of May, Taylor, and Deacon standing and looking at Mercury. This, obviously, symbolizes the fact that Freddie had died due to AIDS and now the three could not reach him."

A few points: if it's obvious, why mention it? I think it's stronger without the last sentence. And Mercury is the only silouhette - you can clearly make out the other three. Third, why mention this at all?

In all fairness, it symbolizes MORE than their inability to reach Mercury. Mercury is in an extremely triumphant pose - throughout life he was always on top. He once said that he didn't care if he died tomorrow 'cause he's done everything for crying out loud! May + band are now in a state of sadness over the loss of Mercury, but he's beyond that.

There is so much symbolism in here it seems absolutely STUPID to include only the most obvious point. Jvincep 09:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

By The Way... The "silhouette" of Freddie Mercury is in fact a picture of his statue in Montreaux from behind, not of the man himself. The album cover actually reflects the lyrics to "A Winter's Tale" that Freddie wrote while looking out of a window onto Lake Geneva, which the album cover shows. 65.248.164.214 (talk) 20:09, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

You Don't Fool Me

Isn't "You Don't Fool Me" a Mercury/Deacon song? Stefano --151.37.58.208 21:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

No one really knows, it was credited as Queen, but it's commonly believed to be a Mercury/Taylor composition GiantSpider 13:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I was under the impression it was a Mercury / May composition.Jvincep 09:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

For god sakes guys, have you forgotten about David Richards? He was basically the one who made the song. Even Brian May said there wouldn't have been a "You Don't Fool Me" if he wasn't there. --Bobtinin (talk) 22:05, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

POV Queen albums

Why does every Queen album article sound like a review? This is getting ridiculous TheDavesr 19:34, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Amen to that!! There is so much POV in here its not even funny. 65.93.86.65 20:19, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I third that. You can usually take a few bits and pieces from one of these pages... after that, might as well go to Amazon or somewhere else and see what they have to say. Jvincep 09:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

You guys have no idea what you are talking about Queen was the all time, you dont realise how many people loved Freddie, like me. And that is very rude to say that stuff you didnt make billions on music, so why say stuff? I dont get you people now days....Freddie is still alive in a way and you need to respect him. He didnt do anything to you. Freddie I still love you no matter what! And I think Queen was the Best band of the 70's, 80's and 90's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.103.127.75 (talk) 00:24, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Songs credited to Queen or individual members?

Any info on this? I don't think the article covers it. - Zone46 01:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

A Winter's tale lyrics and recording

I've edited the comments on "A Winter's Tale: it's utter nonsense that a man sick from aids could still write and record a song two weeks before dying. I wrote the song 2-3 months before dying, in Montreux. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by VincentG (talk • contribs) 00:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

Is this a typo, or are you claiming to have written "A Winter's Tale"?? Welcome back to earth, "Mr. Mercury." 65.248.164.214 (talk) 20:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Not utter nonsense regarding what one can do dying from aids, remember Mercury was by all means reduced to a wheelchair by this time, singing from the mic on the mixing deck as oppose to the studio booth, and in the last days of his life was beginning to lose his eyesight, but his voice was not affected, some days he felt well enough and most days he didn't, he was in Switzerland in October so weeks isn't entirely absurd. have left this alone nonetheless.

Heaven for Everyone

I'm fairly certain that Freddie sings the lead vocals on the Made in Heaven version of this song. The article could be saying that, but it isn't very clear. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Schaedenfreud82 (talk • contribs) 13:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC).

The Show Must Go On?!

Deleted the entry in the tracklisting about an acoustic version of "The Show Must Go On," because, well, there isn't one on there. -Phoneclear 19:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

There's been plenty of vandalism on this page recently. I suggest locking it temporarily. -Phoneclear 22:35, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

A Winter's Tale

The tenth track of the album, A Winter's Tale, is not included in the track listing, therfore changing the traklisting for the final three songs on the album.Suna suna 15:54, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Untitled Track

I did a little research on the final track on "Made In Heaven", and uncovered one possible thought about the song from a Queen lyrics website. I took a listen to the song on the C.D. and this has caused a bit of controversy amongst Queen fans, some think the reprise of "A Beautiful day, which overlaps into the untitled track and the final yeah is a song as one. from what I have gathered from the Queen lyrics website, the song is interpreted as a "musical journey to heaven".-BigBoi30 18:37, 15, August, 2008 (UTC)

Link to track listing

Is there any particular reason why there is a link to the track listing in the sentence before the track listing itself? PhantomSteve (talk) 09:10, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Can you find any sources establishing "Yeah" as a distinct song?

The way I see it, it's just an integrated lyric in "It's a Beautiful Day (Reprise)". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.13.153.141 (talk) 15:11, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

"Whether she turned it down or Taylor withdrew the song is unclear"

It's unlikely that neither of these is incorrect. I've brought this up because I think she or Taylor himself discussed it, and we didn't notice it. If you did find it, let me know. I know bringing this up will cause debate rather than consensus, but hey! Maybe you're able to find it, or it doesn't exist at all. Emotioness Expression (talk) 12:02, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Queen made one 11th-hour change to the song

Could you please clarify what is it about. The song lasts up to 5 minutes, so how the 11-hour change could be possible? A1 (talk) 06:06, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

It was the band's first and only release solely under the name "Queen" after the death of lead singer Freddie Mercury in 1991

What does this mean? I can see plenty of collections and also a couple of singles, Face It Alone out just a few month. Studio album? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.132.63.134 (talk) 19:50, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
