It was all in the TV documentary Steve56

All the band members said he was a different man on stage

Extrovert on,introvert off.

Come on Steve

For mine Black Sabbath had 2 good songs-guess which? Deep Purple were legendary but you can't compare them to Queen

If for nothing else other than Bohemian Rhapsody......Queen will be remembered

I will never stoop to saying this band is better than that one simply because its a subjective opinion

Two of my favourite bands Montrose & The Blue Oyster Cult wouldn't rate a mention in most peoples minds

cheers

blue oyster cult were ok,dont fear the reaper!love that 1,montrose was ronnie montrose wasnt it?i meant purple were heavy but had melody,if you get a chance to listen to episode six youll know what i mean lovely harmonys,and family and tull hold good memories for me,songs like sweet dream,witchs promise,familys no mules fool,in my own time,purples black night they remind me of my teenage years and the love have for a certain girl in london at the time,even the motown stuff too theres so many.

BOC had a couple of good 'uns Buttsie, but I bet you get pissed off with everyone mentioning Don't Fear the Reaper etc. Incidently, i HATE BOC's producer, a smug ponce called Sandy Perlman who totally fucked up producing The Clash's 2nd album, into 'Mainstream American punk'

[steve56]

didnt patti smith back them 1 time?

[Ace]

Episode Six featured Ian Gillan and Roger Glover before their move to Deep Purple, right?

[steve56]

thats exactly right!

[Ace]

Im unsure whether to feel smug at my knowledge on that OR feel worried Im turning into a Steve56!!!!!!!!!!!

[steve56]

some of the quos early stuff is very good too,eg,are you growing tired of my love,little miss nothing that reminds me of someone too.

It must have been an amazing feeling to be on stage to see tens of thousands of people all clapping their hands in the air at the same time (Radio Ga Ga) it's an amazing sight when you watch their concerts.

Went to see Bon Jovi a couple of years back and purposefully got seats up the back so I could see everyone moving 'as one' to certain songs.

I knew quite a lot of repliers would not be Queen fans, fair enough, we can't all like the same, but I don't agree that Queen were over-rated. A lot of their back catalogue will stand the test of time .... more than a few classics in there.

Thanks to all who contributed
