Hi,

Iam new to this board, I had been active on Eddies Board earlier this "century" and inspired by the BBC docu thought, I wanna get involved again. ;-)

So, here's the question, does anybody heard anything about a possible release of the so called London Mix of Holy Man???? That would be great, Queen doing Dennis.

Sorry, if that question has been asked before, I used the search function but couldn't find anything.

Best regards,

Marc

Hi Marc, welcome aboard

I too would love to hear this, although I can;t imagine it being an improvement on the superb job Taylor Hawkins did

Thanks for the warm welcome!!! And good to see some familiar names, too! How are you Eddie? Eager to see who else I knew from the past and remembers me. ;-) Can´t remember my old nick name from roach-clips, well maybe it was just Marc, I think I was the only one.

Anyway, I love the Taylor Hawkins Version, but, if you can have chocolate and sweets, why just go for one. ;-)

On last report the Queen version isn't scheduled for any release, There was some disagreement over the mix, i've heard a couple, Queen up, Queen down, I prefer the John Hanlon mix which keeps the Queen element very subtle...but honestly I think Rob hit the nail, it doesn't improve the song, just makes it a bit curious in my opinion. However, there are some parties involved who would love for the Queen version to see the light of day...so it just might at some point. Can't say when as of today.

Thank you for the answer. But don't get me wrong, I love the song just the way it is, it's not about getting it better, it's outstanding. The Queen Version is a tribute and for that reason I would like to hear it. As an addition. As an honour to Dennis.

Hey, Marc: How great to see & hear from you again! (And yes, you were Marc 'back in the day' on the Roach-clips.com board. BTW, watch for a relaunching of our site, coming soon.)
You know, I'd like to see & hear it released, too, and wish that Sony had taken advantage of the documentary 'over there' to garner more interest in Dennis' music. As it is, it's been back in the Amazon Top 100 ever since the doc. aired!

Ah, feels good to be back, which such a nice welcome!
Roach-clips really stood out, and Iam happy that a relaunch is planned! Great memories, I have from those days and Iam pretty happy, that it brought me to this thing here, to find you guys again!!!

Amazon Top 100 that is a number and damm, it deserves it! Holy man is one of the most special songs I have ever heard. If they would release that mix, it would give another publicity wave, Queen does Dennis, that would reach a whole new kind of people, think how many Queen fans there are. Besides, I would love to hear Brian May on a Denny song. Wish I could play there, too. ;-)
