Great song, I guess we all agree. There are though two things that bother me. The synth intro is very haunting, but is starting to sound terribly outdated :-( Do you think that the song would work with a guitar intro (same melody). The ending of the song also sounds bad in my opinion. Any ideas to improve that? Are there any fan mixers who would eb interested to replace the parts I mentioned and make a TSMGO 2004 mix?

I remember at school deciding to 'improve' my copy of 'Twelfth Night' by Bill Shakespeare by deleting the bits I didn't like with Tippex. It would have been easier burning the fucker.

I don't hear anything wrong with the intro. Although it does sound a bit haunting, it doesn't seem to be outdated at all. Maybe other Queenzoners could accept or dismiss your findings. But I disagree.

As far as I'm concerned, The song is absolutely perfect as is. *It IS my all time favorite song (tied with These Are The Days...) after all!

Perfect for me. And as strange as it could seems, any Queen song sounds outdated. Even Hot Space ones.

I've always liked the intro. It's haunting, but sets the stage perfectly for the rest of the song.

Yeah, so what's your point? I don't get why people want to change the past. That's the way the song was made. You wont go back and fuck around with the masters of "imagine" because part of it might sound "dated". Just leave it be. It's a great song anyway.

The thing is that the synth-hook of `Show` is not only in the intro, it`s in 80% of the song (everything except the "butterflies" section).
John hated Hot Space. Fred's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' Witness testimonies are often inaccurate. Wales is not in England. 'Bo Rhap' hasn't got 180 voices.

TSMGO is my favourite song too. In my opinion very many Queen songs sound timeless. That's why I thought it would be great update TSMGO a little and make it "immortal". It's a fabulous song!

Yes Sebastian, but it isn't heard so clearly when the song starts.

There isn't much outdated about Queen music, and the intro to TSMGO isnt outdated. And the end isnt that bad either, although i would have ended it differant. The worst endings on songs come from Guns n' Roses. The ends of Since I Dont Have you and Dont Cry are particulary annoying in my opinion.

Great song, great song. Doesn't need any tweaking, but any change to the intro I would suggest is replace the keyboard with a full orchestra, champagne, caviar, and crackers.

"The worst endings on songs come from Guns n' Roses. The ends of Since I Dont Have you and Dont Cry are particulary annoying in my opinion." The ending of Don't Cry bothers me very much and I'll tell you why: that extended note. Does he really hold the note for that long or is it on a loop?
