And what would Wayne's World be remembered for (really) if it wasn't for that Bohemian Rhapsody scene? 

 

 
 
I often wonder how many people discovered Queen/Bohemian Rhapsody because of Wayne's World...

I really didn't have the time, but I knew I was going to have to watch the documentary.  Brought back lots of memories for me!

Craig, you do realize that Wayne's World is not a documentary, right?

wait, what?

Hey bit, have you checked out the "new" Queen album(that's right...I said album ;)) Live at the Rainbow '74?

Very cool. Too bad the audio isn't better. It was obviously taped direct from the board, so maybe a better version exists somewhere.
 
But what a great live band. No in-ear monitors, no sequencers or prerecorded backing tracks, no auto-tune. Not even the obligatory three-girl backing vocal line. Just four guys singing in real time while not missing a beat. Any singing drummers out there can attest to how hard it is to do both of those things well at the same time but Mr. Taylor pulls it off.

Have you heard about this Queen tribute band, Queen Extravaganza? It was put together by Roger Taylor, who conducted an online search for talent. Not just one, but three Freddie soundalikes in the band, including a singing drummer. The lead singer just needs to grow a mustache and loosen up a bit and from a distance you'd think he was Freddie.
 
Can't wait for them to come to Vegas.

The recently released live album (better audio) is on YouTube with better audio quality. It sounds slow though.

Queen Extravaganza ? Don't get me started about that... Dislike ! :) Nobody will replace Freddie and Deacon got out exactly the right time. The only one of them alive that maintained creditability. Still I admit I like May's solo efforts esp when he is campaigning against the badger cull (I know some musicians who play with him or support him in his efforts all lovely people).

I have the 'Queen with Paul Rodgers' live DVD. I know a lot of people hated the combination but I really enjoyed it, because he didn't try and mimic Freddie, just sang it his way. I thought a few of the songs suited his voice better than Freddie's (Hammer to Fall for example)The new stuff they wrote together was pants though.

Brian May is also a keen astronomer is he not? I seem to remember him on The Sky At Night with the late Patrick Moore. I think he's still married to Anita Dobson as well - a rare example of a long lasting celebrity marriage. I think it's because they both have such similar hair.
