> That makes no sense on multiple levels. The most obvious > being that Opera was released in '75. That's why I said vice versa. "Bat Out Of Hell" is the only album that's come close to "A Night At The Opera". I wasn't aware I was being specific about years, but you're right. > > Ok, I get it. You don't like Bat III much. I don't like TMIL. I love Bat III. "Still The Children", "Not Allowed To Love", "Braver Than We Are", "What Part Of My Body Hurts The Most" etc. are brilliant and as good (if not better) than anything on Bat II. But what have > the songs on Bat III to do with the 9th level of Dante's > hell? Nothing.

My point is, a prominent vision of my hell (and there are many visions) is TMIL on endless repeat. That, alone, could summon up betrayers of family, political traitors, betrayers of guests, lords and benefactors, God etc. etc. Just play the bridge of "If God Could Talk" and you're half-way there. Hell makes no sense? Neither does TMIL. > > Since Made in Heaven certainly exists, as I have no doubt > that the new Queen+Paul Rogers things does, there is no > reason (not) to believe in it.

We know "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" was 27 minutes long because it clocks that length on the bootlegs. The concert version could have easily been the original version. And it's not that I don't believe, it's that I ignore. Certainly, they exist, but I have to ignore them or I rant on forever. No one wants to hear me ranting forever. | |
