[edit] Small song articles
In almost two months, the pages Fight From The Inside, Sleeping On The Sidewalk, and My Melancholy Blues have experienced minimal content growth, and could still find a comfortable home on this page. Please discuss this and other similar small Queen song articles on my talk page. Dar-Ape 20:33, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, DEgenerated 82.141.159.95 15:05, 25 November 2006 (UTC) How on earth does Who Needs You resembles Misfire?
[edit] Get Down, Make Love
I have removed the comment about Get Down Make Love being monotonous as it sounds like POV - Knight of Ashitaka 23:36, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Track listing
Kind of a minor thing, but is there any particular reason why there is a " mark after the names of songs in the track listing, but not before? - Im.a.lumberjack 16:58, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Done
I changed it. Weird formatting, but Wikipedia only puts the quote at the end of the code. So I manually entered in quotes before the code. - Joepiekarski 02:01, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Who Needs You
Didn't Steve Howe play the spanish guitar on Innuendo ? In here it seems to imply it was May —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.6.154.150 (talk) 14:52, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Some people apparently think that when you combine John Deacon's writing with an acoustic guitar, it all sounds the same. Does "Spread your Wings" sound like "You and I"? Didn't think so. 65.248.164.214 (talk) 17:02, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Possibly a POV issue there. I'm working through this article to improve it. It's getting there, slowly. --lincalinca 02:58, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Artwork
Freddie Mercury didn't design the artwork on this album, Frank Kelly Freas did. The original painting was done in 1953, and was updated by Freas in 1977, at Roger Taylor's suggestion. Freas also painted the inner sleeve especially for this album. Fr34kzi11a (talk) 20:56, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- I believe you here, but is there a source that verifies that? It doesn't indicate either Mercury, Taylor or Freas as its creator on the sleeve. --rm 'w avu 23:13, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- From "As It Began", pg. 106, written by Jacky Smith and Jim Jenkins: "While in the United States Roger, a keen science fiction fan, had seen a copy of an American magazine called Astounding Science. On the cover was an illustration of a robot wreaking havoc among the human population, drawn by science fiction artist Frank Kelly Freas. Roger was convinced that the robot, with a little adaptation, would make an excellent cover for the next album. It took some time, but they succeeded in tracking down the elusive Mr. Freas. He loved the idea of his robot being used as an album cover, and willingly agreed to alter the picture, so that the people held in the robot's giant hand resembled the members of the band. He also created a new scene for the inside of the album sleeve." Fr34kzi11a (talk) 22:14, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
