ARTIST: Brian May

TITLE: Driven By You   X

LABEL: Parlophone, 1991

His hair may have been white, but Queen guitarist Brian May proved he can still ROCK it along with Lady Gaga at this week's MTV Video Music Awards. Wonder what his former bandmate Freddie Mercury would've thought of GaGa's cross-dressing Jo Calderone character? --Steve-O

ARTIST: Freddie Mercury

TITLE: Love Kills [Remix]   X

LABEL: Columbia, 1984

Speaking of Freddie, let's review a track from the Metropolis soundtrack. There were a few versions of the classic 1920's-era Fritz Lang film released in the eighties and nineties, each with restored footage and new music added. But c'mon, wouldn't this song have been better as a full-fledged Queen track, as a sort of sequel to their killer work on Flash Gordon?  --Steve-O

ARTIST: Queen

TITLE: We Will Rock You / We Are the Champions [Remix]   X

LABEL: Hollywood Basic, 1991

When Disney's Hollywood Records label acquired the rights to reissue Queen's back-catalog in the nineties, they commissioned a few new mixes including "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions," which got "ruined by Rick Rubin." Rick had been working with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, so he had Chad Smith and Flea do some extra drums and guitar for this (ruined?) version.  --Steve-O
