Let's get two things straight here!

1. I was referring to Brian May
and 2. I was going to ask him because I wanted to see what he thought of the idea. And also how it could come about. How it can happen.

I wonder if this is really possible. I hope it is. Hmm...may have to ask a certain hairy man about this one. Also, a special 20th edition with a 5.1 mixed dvda would go down very well with me, too!

i seem to remember Brian mentioning on his soapbow how it'd be great to hear an orchestra-version of the "Barcelona" album.

am i the only one remembering this?

Well, my mistake - but Mike's hairy too ;)
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

Lately not so much. If you watch the special features of "LoL, SoS" you probably won't recognize him.

I'm as mad as HELL, and I'm not going to take this anymore!
Here it is Zak :

(...) the fabulous Barcelona for instance .... so wonderfully sung. I just have a terrible hankering to hear it with REAL orchestra one day ... who knows !

Great minds think alike! lol :D

This is just a thought (probably a stupid one), but I think it would be great if the Trans-Siberian Orchestra recorded some backing tracks for Barcelona. I know it's unlikely to happen, but it's just a thought...
Why the trans-siberian ?

Better than the Trans-Sexual Orchestra, though their show really is amazing.
