Love Kills is Freddie's first solo release since the 1973 Pre-Queen Larry Lurex release. This original version of the track was released in 1984 to coincide with it's appearance in the Giorgio Moroder edit and restoration of Fritz Lang's Metropolis. There is some debate as to how much influence the other members of Queen had on this track. It may have been planned for The Works and may have some instrumentation by Queen members.

Appears on: UK Love Kills 12" vinyl, UK I Was Born To Love You double 7" vinyl, Solo, The Solo Collection
An extended version of the original, also known as the "Extended Dance Remix" on the US 12" vinyl release. This extended version is very similar to the regular version, featuring some remixing and lots of extended synth instrumental bits.

Love Kills (Original Wolf Mix) 3:28

Appears on: US The Great Pretender CD, UK In My Defence CD single (Part 2), The Solo Collection, US Love Kills promo CD
A very interesting remix by Richard Wolf. This version is highly reworked and does away with the synthesizer sound of the original, instead replacing it with guitar and drums. The track opens with Freddie singing "Love Kills" as some hard guitar chords are played. The lyric structure is slightly different too. A very nice mix that caters more to fans of a hard rock Queen sound as opposed to the pop-synthesizer Queen sound.

Love Kills (Wolf Euro Mix) 3:28

Appears on: UK In My Defence CD single (Part 1), Remixes CD, UK In My Defence 7" vinyl
Another good remix from Richard Wolf. This mix very similar to the Original Wolf Mix, but there are some differences. The track starts with Freddie singing a capella, as opposed to being accompanied by guitars (as in the Original Wolf Version). The lyric structure is nearly the same as the original 1984 version, and the overall sound is less rock and more pop. Still, this version is a great departure from the original 1984 version.

A complete instumental version of the 1984 original release.

Love Kills (Halo Remix - Full Version) 8:30
Written by Freddie Mercury/Giorgio Moroder
Appears on: Italy Love Kills 12" vinyl (2000)
A dance mix highly reminiscent of some of the You Don't Fool Me dance remixes. Almost nothing of the original instrumentation remains and that which does is so heavily sampled, processed and remixed as to be unrecognizable. Only a few fragments of the lyrics survive and are scattered here and there throughout, between long instrumental breaks. If you really need to hear a remix of this song, stick with one of the many other mixes, like the Richard Wolf versions.

Love Kills (Rock Mix) 4:27
Written by Written by Freddie Mercury/Giorgio Moroder, Remixed by The Fugitive Brothers
Appears on: The Solo Collection, Solo
Another rock-influenced remix that abandons the synth sounds of the original. This remix is meant to create a live performance sound. Freddie's lead vocals have a slight echo and are accompanied by guitar, drums, and piano. There are live audience background noises added to complete the live ambiance feel. This remix was originally done in 1992 and was not released until 2000's Freddie Mercury Solo Collection Box Set. This track was originally planned for the 1992 Remixes CD single but was discarded.

Love Kills (Fugitive Brothers Radio Mix) 3:42
Written by Freddie Mercury/Giorgio Moroder, Remixed by The Fugitive Brothers
Appears on: Unreleased
An unreleased 1993 remix by the Fugitive Brothers that was never released. This radio mix has a pop/dance feel to it and sounds similar to the No More Brothers remix of Living On My Own.

Love Kills (Symphony Mix) 3:35
Written by Freddie Mercury/Giorgio Moroder, Remixed by The Fugitive Brothers
Appears on: Unreleased
Another unreleased 1992 remix from the Fugitive Brothers. This is a very original remix, replacing the synth sounds of the original with a symphony backing track. The vocals and lyrical structure are not changed from the original. This remix was rejected from both the 1992 Remixes CD single and from the Freddie Mercury Solo Collection Box Set.

Love Kills (Jazzy Mix) 4:43
Written by Freddie Mercury/Giorgio Moroder, Remixed by The Fugitive Brothers
Appears on: Unreleased
This is the last of the 1992 unreleased remixes from the Fugitive Brothers. The Jazzy mix is the most original and most inspired of all their remixes. The backing track has been replaced with a "jazzy" bass and drum beat. The track opens with slow tempo bass guitar and mixes Freddie's scat section from Living On My Own. From there, the track continues into Love Kills with the backing track replaced with the "jazzy" backing track. This remix was also rejected from both the 1992 Remixes CD single and from the Freddie Mercury Solo Collection Box Set. Recommended if you can find it.

Love Kills (Demo) 2:22
Written by Freddie Mercury/Giorgio Moroder
Appears on: Unreleased
This is an older demo that was leaked many years ago and has been commonly traded. The track opens with some synthesizer sound effects which sound very similar to sci-fi or videogame effects. The track then continues with the familiar sounding Love Kills backing track and Freddie's vocals. The track ends abruptly with Freddie singing "alone...."

Appears on: Lover Of Life Singer Of Songs, Lover Of Life Singer Of Songs (Limited Edition), Germany Love Kills promo CD single (2006), Germany Love Kills CD single (2006), Holland Love Kills CD single (2006)
A dance remix specifically commissioned for the Lover Of Life Singer Of Songs collection. This is the only new remix to be included on the single disc release. This is a more upbeat and poppier remix. Probably not the best of the 2006 remixes, but it is very good and very listenable.

Appears on: Lover Of Life Singer Of Songs (Limited Edition), Germany Love Kills promo CD single (2006), Germany Love Kills CD single (2006)
This remix leads off the second disc of the Limited Edition version of Lover Of Life Singer Of Songs. The remix is done by the German dance duo of Blank and Jones. This remix is fairly aggressive with lots of trance and dance effects throughout featuring lots of speeding up/slowing down effects, echo effects, and various digital sounds. As a side note, this is basically an edited down version of the full Club Remix.

This is the full version of the radio mix listed above. Again, this is a good mix with some interesting added bits that the radio mix does not have. I think this mix is a tad bit long, but at least it holds your interest throughout and does some different things than the standard dance remix.

Love Kills (Rank 1 Radio Remix) 7:18
Written by Freddie Mercury/Giorgio Moroder, Remixed by Piet Bervoets and Benno de Goeijand
Appears on: Lover Of Life Singer Of Songs (Limited Edition), Holland Love Kills CD single (2006)
A remix specially commissioned for the 2006 Lover Of Life Singer Of Songs collection by the duo of Piet Bervoets and Benno de Goeijand, also known as Rank 1. This is a very long remix with some very dramatic mixing and well placed silent background bits. This remix is very different than the others, featuring a very up tempo and fast backbeat with a lot of breaks. Not a bad mix, but very lengthy for repeated casual listening.

Love Kills (Rank 1 Extended Vocal Mix) 7:20
Written by Freddie Mercury/Giorgio Moroder, Remixed by Piet Bervoets and Benno de Goeijand
Appears on: Holland Love Kills 12" vinyl
Exactly the same as the Rank 1 Radio Remix, except this version begins with a voice (could be Freddie's) mumbling "Alright." Two seconds and a faintly heard drum track later, the remix kicks in. No need to go out of your way for this unless you really need that bit more Freddie in your mix.

Love Kills (Rank 1 Dub Mix) 7:05
Written by Freddie Mercury/Giorgio Moroder, Remixed by Piet Bervoets and Benno de Goeijand
Appears on: Holland Love Kills 12" vinyl
A dance mix with a more aggressive backing track, this could have been a very good remix if it had retained the entire vocal track. Instead, "Love Kills" is repeated over and over, and only the middle-eight ("It's just a livin' fast time…") verses live to tell the tale.

Love Kills (Pixel82 Remix) 6:13
Written by Freddie Mercury/Giorgio Moroder, Remixed by Pixel 82
Appears on: Lover Of Life Singer Of Songs (Limited Edition), UK Love Kills 12" vinyl (2006), UK Living On My Own Promo CD (2006)
Commissioned for Lover Of Life Singer Of Songs. An interesting and original by remix by UK musician/remixer Filipe Galante (a.k.a. Pixel 82). The track is highly remixed, having a techno-disco sound to it. At least it's something slightly different and recognizable.

Love Kills (More Oder Rework By The Glimmers) 6:53
Written by Freddie Mercury/Giorgio Moroder, Remixed by The Glimmers
Appears on: Lover Of Life Singer Of Songs (Limited Edition), UK Love Kills 12" vinyl (2006)
Another remix commissioned for Lover Of Life Singer Of Songs. What makes this remix interesting is that it is based solely on the original track. There are no added effects or sounds, just remixing of the original track (with some added effects on Freddie's voice here and there). This remix is mostly instrumental the entire way through with some bits of Freddie's vocal mixed in here and there.
