Great to see you know your Geography????

People over here in the UK are dumb. Welcome to cracked up land. Discussions within Manchester, Newcastle and unfortuantly Glasgow about Freddie Mercury looking like David Cameron, Michael Jackson a better drummer than Neil Peart and Jimmy Page a better guitarist than Brian May. What on Earth???? Brits are always controversial. Ross County could apparently beat Manchester United any day (yeah right) and bands such as JOURNEY, A-HA and Guns and roses better than Queen etc. Michael Jackson (who is without a doubt is the greatest pop star ever) having the best album of all time. W\hat ever happened to Queen II, SHA, ADATR. And of course Bohemian Rhapsody, the greatest song of all time over here and Stairway to Heaven the Greatest song over there. Two legendary rock bands however their most famous songs voted the greatest are not the greatest. Why don't people stop being ignorant and forget about the rubbish music of today and go back to the legends of the past. Listen to Queen, Hits and beyond and see what real music, see what legenday music is. Shame we have'nt got a Queen today, they would outclass any modern act. Lady Ga Ga????? Or Queen - What's the point of the Question. Queen or The Beatles or Zep - That is what I call a debate.

Fav Riffs:
Queen - Keep Yourself Alive and Liar
Queen II: Father to Son and Ogre Battle
Sheer Heart Attack: Now I'm Here and Stone Cold Crazy
A Night at the Opera: Sweet Lady, Prophet's Song and Bohemian Rhapsody
A Day at the Races: Tie Your Mother Down and White Man
News of the World: It's Late and Sheer Heart Attack
Jazz: Dead on Time and Let Me Entertain You
The Game: Need Your Loving Tonight.......
Flash: The Hero
Hot Space: Put Out the Fire
The Works: Hammer to Fall and Tear it Up
A Kind of Magic: Princes of the Universe and One Vision
The Miracle: I Want it All and Was it All Worth it
Innuendo: Headlong and Innuendo
Made in Heaven: Hmmm> Don't Know

Great to see you know your Geography????

By the Way, you missed the Vatican City out

A Queen fan has made a section on his page about this Topic. I found it when browsing.

The Tour helper With the Queen A Kind of Magic 1986.

It's Deaks there.

Brian May is currently standing at 17th on the Greatest Guitarists Ever.
Jimmy Page is third and Prince is 10th.

http://www.the-top-tens.com/lists/greatest-guitarists-ever.asp

That's just a bunch of kids talking about who they like.  Check out this website for a much more informed critique of various rock guitarists:

http://www.dinosaurrockguitar.com - in the "alchemy" section.

I think nowadays people recognise and rate a guitarist by looks, (icon in the band like lead singer) and how "cool" he seems. Nowadays talent and music of the past (e.g "old" music) does not matter.

It's interesting to see that Brian is not on the BBC Series of I'm in A Rock Band.

I belive that he is a very underrated guitarist and musician. I think people just judge his guitar work on Queen Singles, not albums.

Anyway, the "?legendary?" (BBC Quote) guitarist Jimmy Page is there on that Show.

And I bet that he will get  the title
Best Guitarist of All Time.

Here are the Guitarists on that TV Show?

Jeff Beck
Matt Bellamy (Matt Who?)
Eric Clapton
Graham Coxon (Graham Who?)
Jimi Hendrix
Johnny Marr (Johnny Who)
Jimmy Page (Ah Yes Jimmy)
Slash (Slash that Brian is better)
Pete Townsend
Jack White

Whilst reading the basic info about those guitarists, Graham Coxon was rated really highly.
I don't know wether this is a popularity contest or a shortlist of talent.

There are hard working and super talented guitarist like Brian May, Mark Knopfler and Alex Lifeson who deserve to be in that list.

OH NO! OH NO!

Here is another rubbish shortlist from the BBC for your favourite drummer.

Ginger Baker
John Bonham
Phil Collins (Oh No, NOT Him)
Stewart Copeland (The Police drummer)
Dave Ghrol
Mitch Mitchell
Keith Moon
Ringo Starr (RINGO STARR, WHO IS HE ONE OF THE BEST  DRUMMERS EVER)
Lars Ulrich (WHO?)
Charlie Watts (OH NO? Not that overrated drummer)

A Disgrace. Roger is better than more than a third of those drummers at least.

And What ever you do, don't even bother looking at best bassist.

John would never be in that list.

In the meantime, vote like mad for Freddie and Queen. Let's show the BBC who is the Boss.
