Yes, the tempo was way too slow (probably to help Meat with his vocal). The song needs urgency & a heartbeat, and Meat's version had neither.

Yes. I would have preferred if they were kept.

I quite like what Brian May did and at least it was something different (to the original). Loved the tones he came up with and there are some nice 'chugging' rhythms.
I think he only had a few hours before catching a plane, so maybe with more time he could have developed the solo?

Yes, it should be a male vocal as much as 'All Coming Back' should be a female vocal.

Yes. The title fits?
