Self Made Man
2
This track is believed to have been written by Brian, and was recorded in 1990 for 'Innuendo'. It is dominated by drums and keyboards, and the vocals are mainly sung by Brian, with some from Freddie. There are essentially two versions available, which are similar but have changes, originating from the studio or a Queen Convention (which adds audience noise). The studio version has percussion from the start, whereas the intro to the convention version is about 10 seconds longer but the percussion begins after 24 seconds. The rest of the track seems the same, but the convention version fades out about 29 seconds earlier. A 2:45 edit of the convention version is also available. Lengths 4:19 (convention) and 4:39 (studio).
