and to finish.......
flash.the hero..........to leave you thinking......anything is possible.
a small set just for you of your personal songs..........
Does a Brian/Roger/Freddie set mean one that would include songs by all three or does it mean that Freddie would be alive in this hypothetical situation?
I'd be interested in either but there would be a hell of a difference for me because if I had Freddie I'd go for range and quality of songs.
If I had to chose another lead singer I'd go for songs that fit that person's voice because it's very unlikely they'd have even half the musical range Freddie did.
Queen (with Freddie and yes it would be long because it truly would be a once in a lifetime opportunity )

The crowd receives yellow submarine condoms they can orally inflate.
And if anyone asks for RIngo's autograph he'll take over the drums and sing "I'm In Love WIth My Car"
And if you even DARE request a song he'll play something off of Hot Space that isn't "Under Pressure" or "Life is Real" because every Queen fan is the same guy who hates that album.
I don't think that Hot Space was that bad. I mean, sure, compared to other albums. Its not that it is bad, its just not a Queen album. I actually find it highly listenable (but then again, I do love Crazy Nights by KISS and Infidels by Bob Dylan). Anyway, on with my set list.
