PsychocAndy Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'll start by saying I hate Queen, detest, abhor and dislike immensely, but they have had 2 songs, Radio Ga Ga and Under Pressure, that were 1m% better than the rest. Electric 6 did a no bad cover of R G G, and Vanilla Ice should be flogged to death but today it went further than that. I thought I was in hell. I had my thumb on the off button of the remote and couldn't move. It was Vanilla Ice and something called Jedwood. If you see this is to come on the telly turn it off right away or you my need a new telly. I would rather have my tadger nailed to a jumbo jet, or stick my hand in a mincing machine, both types, or even tackle that spider in my bath, than have to listen to that ever again. Parents if you see your kids trying to download or buy this batter them to within an inch of their lives. You'd be doing everyone a service.

Big D Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Queen are without doubt the most over rated band in history. PA gets their only 2 good songs spot on. Cod music hall wallopers. Anyone who listens to, buys their stuff and then covers it, must be stopped. With extreme prejudice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renoir Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I disagree.....I think their music is great and they were without a doubt one of the best live bands ever..... We will rock you the musical on the other hand is crap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brow Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Only people of a certain vintage think Queen are great. I had the misfortune to have to put up with this muck when in the car on the way to my grans every saturday from 1985 onwards. Cannae stand them. Or Dire Straits. Or Chris Rea.

PsychocAndy Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Thanks to all who have commented but this thread is about a really dire version of a Queen song made 100 x worse by Vanilla Ice then with the added vocal talents? of Jedwood or what ever they are called, making even worse still. The Brow , you had it easy. I shared a room and record player with my elder brother, cant say big as he's only a shortarsed 6ft 1, who made me pay a Queen tax. Every time I played a single, he'd play one of their L P's "A Day At The Races", "A Night At The Opera" or "Duck Soup" or what ever. If he hadn't left at 17 I think I would have stabbed him in his sleep:sneaky: No I wouldn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenbo Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Loved Queen (let's face it, they were over when FM popped his clogs) - all excellent musicians in their own right. I have yet to hear a decent cover of anything they done - George Michael done a semi decent performance of Somebody to Love - but would rather not give him any credit as he is a fruitloop! Covers in general should be avoided! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must know me, spot on, but this thread is not about Queen it's about a cover of one of the two half decent songs. BTW I'm 45 and force fed Queen from a very early age and hated it then but as I've grown up, had different experiences and have mellowed, I still hate them with a passion.

PsychocAndy Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 This isn't about how good or bad Queen are, but the really rank cover that will no doubt be in the top 10 today because you never listened to me and battered your kids to within an inch of their lives for buying it. Hell mend you. I warned you. Don't come crying to me when it happens because as some of you has pointed out I'm a ****. Now you'll find out how big a **** I really am.

Big D Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Baker Gurvitz Army would beat Queen on X Factor.

Queen's live gigs in the 70's were legendary and they produced some of the best rock music ever during their early years. Yes their singles were pretty commercial and not always popular with their hard core fans, but I guarantee that no band that you like will ever have the millions of fans turning out to see them as Queen did during their best years.

In the 70s they were supporting Mott the Hoople in the ABC ....And Evil Freddie nearly got the whole band chucked out the Consort hotel in silverknowes bringing back underage rent boys ....scaramooch can you do the fandango indeed.
