How is Cosmos Rocks MacDuff?

I have Return of the Champions on DVD but I have to say that Queen is extremely limited with Rodgers on vocals - they have to cut any song where Freddie was out front on piano, like "Spread Your Wings" or "Play the Game", from their repertoire.

Oh, and I have to add one to my list - been wearing out "Real Live Roadrunnin'" by Mark Knopfler (with Emmylou Harris) in the car...

I've been on a big Belle & Sebastian kick since the new album came out.

Music is a big part of my creative thingamabob.
So, I suspect that Russian folk music will be making its way into the queue soonish.

E.D.

Alter Bridge - ABIII
Chevelle - This Type Of Thinking Could Do Us In

It's quite good. Not Queen in essence, more like Queen backing up Paul.

Some good tunes, some not-so good tunes. The weakest part of the album are the lyrics. They don't stack up against any of Queen's back catalogue.

I was fortunate to see them 3 times and they definitely improved as the tour went on. These songs fit Paul's vocals much better than Queen songs... I think that's why it feels more like a Paul album than a full blown-out Queen one.

Thanks Duff, I may check it out...

And if these guys ever come to your area, make sure you go check them out:

It is an experience not to be believed. Joe Russo IS Freddie - it's uncanny almost. The guy doing Taylor is spot on as well. I think they changed Brians since I last saw them though. The only limitation this band has is trying to recreate Brian's "double" sound on his guitar, since his guitars are all specially made. Other than that, these guys can play anything, including going off the charts deep like "Stone Cold Crazy" or "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy".

Excellent. Will definitely keep an eye on them. We do get some Queen cover bands make their way through Vancouver once and a while. I think the last one was A Kind of Magic or something.

I'm having a Beatles month for some reason, but sounding good.

Volbeat's "Beyond Hell Above Heaven" is pretty much just on repeat in my car.

After watching "Blue Valentine" I made it my business to...ahem...we'll say "acquire" Grizzly Bear's discography.

Really liking them so far.

Check out their sister band, Department of Eagles.

Embarrassed but I don't have one cd in my car

Currently listening to the following in the car...

Edguy - Tinnitus Sanctus
Edguy - Age of the Joker
H.E.A.T. - S/T
H.E.A.T. - Freedom Rock
Sebastien - Tears of White Roses
Helloween - Unarmed

BUT...

I've got 2 new Rhapsody of Fire CD's (The Cold Embrace of Fear and From Chaos to Eternity) arriving any day now, so the Edguy CD's will be coming out.

I tend to listen to new CD's in the car for a few weeks, and all but the Edguy CD's just arrived in the last 3 weeks.
