Yes, the Roy Thomas Baker connection was discovered! Did you hear he produced the new Smashing Pumpkins album?
.DeaconJohn. - man I am so jealous of your show and experience! I am only 27, so I never got to see any of the bands I love, atleast in their heyday. I love Devo, and I found a signed Duty Now for the Future LP signed by the band in 1980 that is now framed in my house. I cannot believe you got your energy dome signed! I did get to see the Buzzcocks and Gang of Four though, but would die to see Devo...they never play anywhere near me here in the states, only big big cities.

Interesting that Roger has written more than one song in a punk vein-- and also brought synths to Queen. I guess it goes to the versatility of Queen's songwriting.
As for RTB producing on Zeitgeist, I've heard that "Starz" and "Tarantula" have roots in 70s classic rock, like Bowie's "Gene Genie" and UFO's stuff.
The spudboys never lost their mojo -- never will-- and as far as Queen goes, it seems Greatest Hits III for one example is more evidence that de-evolution is real...I wish Devo could be cloned from 1982. While we work it out, clone Queen from 1977!

never liked the studio version, but as an encore on the "Jazz" tour this song really shines. Love it when freddie went berserk during this song and Brian's Guitar abuse. On later tours the song lost some of his amtosphere..
@Devo : cool nickname, be shure to check out "Man or Astroman" Allthough their origins are sci-fi surf-rock, these guys are totally devo, especially on their later albums (Made from Technetium ; Eeviac ; Experiment Zero..)

...and speaking of RTB and SP's new album Zeitgiest, I cannot remember which two songs on the album they are, but I swear Billy Corgan uses a guild Brian May Red Special on them. I dont own the album, and not sure if they would list or give credit to it, but two of the songs on that album are VERY Queen sounding and I am almost positive that they the the Red Special BM guitar on them. Check it out if you have the album!
I will definatly check out Man or Astroman!

I've always seen the song as a punk song... It's just a few power chords put together, just like hundreds of other punk songs.
Metal could be a bit more sophisticated than that, couldn't it?

Some metal acts rarely go beyond the four (power) chords.
