Has anyone seen the trailer for the IT movie coming out in September yet???

How about Pentatonix cover of Bohemian Rhapsody???
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54wE05XxVww

Queen is dear to my heart, I remember when Bohemian Rhapsody became #1 in the charts for weeks, breaking records, and being an Instant Classic(should not be covered)
It is one of my alltime favourites, Ive seen some reasonable covers but this version...is acapella. Taking that into consideration....what do you think?

I only came across these last night, but
As a stephen King and IT fan, Im looking forward to it.
The book gave me nightmares, I was disapointed by the mini series, because it couldnt catch the psyche aspect.
I have a feeling this version will be far better.
What say YOU?

Holy crap! That was amazing! I was darn near memorized by it. Other groups have covered BR. Even singers who could hit that note the way Freddie Mercury did back when he was the only one who could. I think that's the closest that anybody has ever come to the genius that was Queen.

When you're a Walking Dead fan, everybody seems to think that means you like horror flicks. I was wondering why this topic came up at work yesterday.

The mini-series in the '80's sucked. Huge disappointment. I always kind of blamed the restrictions of what tv was allowed to show at the time. Pennywise wasn't scary, so the fear didn't really come forward.

Movie trailer looks quite good.

I don't like pentatonix all that much- but this is pretty great :)
I don't think many on Kings books made into movies fair well. I am hopeful this is better.

My family recorded the mini series for me when it first came out and I thought it was decent with Tim Curry as Pennywise. Tried reading the book...it was the only King book I had to put down because it did cause nightmares (funny how Salem's Lot didn't).

If you want a good King movie, I got 3...Carrie, Rose Red and Bag of Bones. Firestarter was okay but it did not really turn me on.

That was actually Roger Taylor, the drummer, who hit that high falsetto note. F Mercury was for the meat and bones lead and harmony vocals. Sorry I don't have a link for that, but that's been well known in the studio realm from soon after release of the tune.

Not true for Beatles or Rolling Stones drummers, but Queen and The Who drummers had it in their heads they were the best falsettos in the band.

Witness:

Moon: "You know I can do it!"

And he did. As did Roger Taylor later in the larger classic.

So while we're at it, J Lennon did the falsetto on ~80% of the early Beatles' stuff too, even as singing the lower harmony else wise.

And The Who were major Beach Boys and Jan and Dean fans, especially Moon, but all of them, in fact.

Gotta learn somewhere.

As long as acapella versions have been mentioned, here is an amazing version of Africa by Perpetuum Jazzile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjbpwlqp5Qw

Ha! I never knew that. See? Guess I totally missed that being too young to see Queen in concert at that age before Freddie was taken from us.

I think they did a great job, in fact.

It certainly went a bit beyond my brother and sisters doing letter-perfect Beatles and a few Beach Boys and a Steely Dan Song or two.

But as for that time, I'm most impressed by 10CC's "I'm Not In Love" and the amazing production effort involved in that.

I was in fact mildly disappointed in Todd Rungren's rendition of Strawberry Fields Forever, though he did it perfectly, with numerous overdubs, because he had so much innate original talent on his own. I don't know what he was trying to prove. My brother and most excellent youngest sister singer and me and the rest did almost as well with one acoustic guitar and one bass and five voices in r/l.

So while we're at it; Yellow Submarine, With a little Help From My Friends. Drummers don't even need to be able to sing falsetto to be the star sometimes! Who wouldn't consider those being in The Beatles' top 40 all-time?

Did you see the video?

Look at there being one microphone for every one or two singers throughout the entire ensemble. What an unholy and ungodly nightmare for any live sound guy. I'm sure that was intended mostly for the production truck, as per orders of the clueless TV producers and directors, but please . . .

What I did in those situations for the live audience I was mixing for was to assign my meager four buses as best I could, after soloing one mic set after another and quickly eliminating what didn't fit, for whatever reason.

The studio and sound truck guys could figure out how to make it work in post production.

I didn't have that luxury; I had to make it work for the audience -right now-, and I did it well, no matter what crap was thrown to me.
