I just cant get out of my amazement, This guy is freddie mercury, at least he has his voice. Probably you've already heard it before, it's the first time I do. Doesn't him sound like Freddie? Of all the FM cover guys he's the most accurate.

In the beginning I thought it was Weird Al
After 20 seconds I realised it was much, much worse

Yes you are right - he doesn't sound like Freddie. This guy's voice has more cracks in it than a whorehouse has. So no he is not the most accurate.
And what is it with all these Freddie impersonators who seem to think all they have to do is wear a yellow jacket with white trousers and grow a moustache? They are getting as bad as Elvis impersonators.....
Two words: Gary Mullen.
bollocks on this performance give it to Taylor Hawkins

The mention of Garry Mullen makes my blood boil.
If you haven't seen the Inbetweeners yet give it a look in, funny as. Not related but I'm just sharing

OMFG is the right expression I believe. Wow.
Hmm, I had a good listen to a few of their songs.
His voice, either by training or naturally has taken on a certain Magic tour era Freddie-esque quality, but he cant even match the range of Fred then, and thats widely regarded as a rough spell for Freddie's voice in terms of range. He's got a similar power, I'll give him that.
I wish the guitarist would put a bit more feel into what he plays here and there rather than just trying to replicate what Brian plays note for note - particularly as they play a few things too fast he's trying to squeeze things in and it ends up sounding messy.
I cant say Im a fan of cover bands who try to be exactly like a particular artist - its a bit sad really - some bald guy with a beer gut poncing round a stage in a gold jacket is not my idea of capturing the spirit of Queen, regardless of his voice.
I've done covers in bands before, and try to just be me singing a song in my own way (although sometimes the style of the original rubs off on you a bit), but copying to this extent leads to comparison, and up against awesome bands, you're always going to pale in comparison!

Well Freddie would be about that bald if he were still alive. I think they should go on w/ Axl:

First of all, to my ears, Anybody...ANYBODY...who tries to do the opening bit to Bohemian Rhapsody sounds completely ridiculous. Nobody has gotten the timing right for the opening bit...they make it too straight and academic sounding. Completely unnatural. I cringe. No disrespect to WWRY, but that's like the opera-bit in Bo-Rhap. I just can't listen to it if it's not the original.
Secondly...whoever thought this guy could hold a candle to Freddie Mercury - in both looks and performance must be smoking crack...give me a break. Yes - fine. Wear the yellow jacket, do the same stuff as Wembley '86, but don't tell me anyone in a tribute band is better than the real deal.
This thread should be 'O-M-F-Gross'
