Who else here hates remixes of songs?

I’m a QUEEN fan. A HUGE Queen fan, but they have some remixes of some very good songs and they just make me crazy! One is “We Will Rock You” with at least 7 remixes, none of which are any good and have nothing to do with the original song!
What is with the stupid RAP?!
Another one is “Dragon Attack”! Again with the stupid rap!
Then there is a remix of some of Freddie’s solo stuff.
I’m sure the last thing he said before he died was, “My dears, I hope that someday they make remixes of some of my songs and make me sound like a stammering idiot!”

What remixes make you cringe? What remixes drive you crazy?

    I **** when they take beautiful slow songs, and add a fast drum beat to it and turn it into a club song.. ***!

    Some songs are just NOT meant to be grinded to. Preserve the song!

  8. M G Says:

    25 minutes for one song, unless it is a Grateful Dead song, is way too long.

    I heard this really bad techno remix of Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall Part 2. It was so painful. They not only ruined the instrumental (no Gilmour guitar solo) but they also messed up Waters’ voice. it was bad.
    I for the most part, **** all remixes, especially if it’s techno remixes.

    Agreed, most remixes are just a bastardization of the original song, but tracks like R. Kelly’s “Ignition” are much better in the remixed version, odd as that may sound. Personally, I couldn’t stand in 2000-2002 when they were making techno remixes of everything.

    I truly dislike idetifying samples that are uncredited in dance.

    I **** remixes.
    At my church we had a remix of We Will Rock You
    called We Will Praise You!
    lol

  14. Sookie Says:

    By and large, I’m not a fan. All of the remixes I’ve ever heard are never really adding anything to the song - I’m looking for more than putting a drum loop in there.

  15. ORB Says:

    I actually thought the remix songs were skipping like the old time records used to do…….the only remix song I like was [ wot's it to ya - by robbie nevil ]

  16. idontknow♥ Says:

    i love remixes

  17. TehMagicalMuffin Says:

    Yeah, I’m listening to Queen now.

    Their remix of Bicycle Race is horrible. Why use turntables?

    WHY EVEN REMIX THE SONGS?!? SONGS THAT WERE ONCE AMAZING WORKS OF ART! NOW CASHED IN FOR WHAT WAS HIP AT THE TIME, FOR, FOR RAP!!! RAP AND TURNTABLES!!

  18. ♫TheStrokes♫ Says:

    I usually **** remixes, BUT…………. when Bloc Party came out with silent alarm remixed, I liked some of the songs more than the originals. in the end, i would stick with the original album. I also thought that some of the across the universe songs ( you might call them remakes, but….) were great. NOTHING compared to the original Beatles songs, but pretty good in my mind.

  19. SpikE Says:

    U2 Knows how to do remixes. Almost everybody else manages to ***** it up. I **** all the new Beatles remixes. They’re really mash-ups that are pretty sad.

  20. Ilandri S Says:

    I **** it! They always f&*% it up and ruin a good song.
