In fact the band I play in for my day job, if you can call it that, is a band called You Am I and we're doing support for the Cold Chisel tour later this year. I am a massive Queen fan too (obviously), and I've spoken to Jimmy about Queen a little, he ain't the biggest fan but has a respect for what they do. Although it may seem my viewpoint is biased, Jimmy's right up there with the greatest frontmen of all time as far as I'm concerned. He's by no means a showman, but just one of the most blistering rock 'n roll voices ever.

Wow. Are you the real David Lane? Great to have you on these boards. Seen You Am I many times.
Heya Makka, yep I'm the same guy who plays sloppy guitar in You Am I, been a lifelong Queen fan and lurking here for a few years!

Wow, a proper celeb right here on QZ! Have to ask though, is your sister Penny? :)

Brilliant! I happened to be there the night you were on Rockwiz. Loved your voice. Hadn't really heard you sing before. Great night all 'round.
Talking about great Australian bands, of which Chisel is definely one, You Am I is easily their equal, by any measure. Have been to many fantastic shows by you guys.
Just as a side, what does Tim Rogers make of Queen? Wouldn't pick him for a fan, but I guess you never know.

Ah that Rockwiz night was fun...dunno if you remember but Queen were my special subject that night.
Tim does like Queen...he was at one of the Sydney shows on the Works tour as a young 'un...we sometimes find ourselves listening to Hot Space on tour! Among other more "classic" Queen stuff of course!
I'm building a replica of the Red Special at the moment, I'll be using it with You Am I when it's done. It's nearly finished, here's some photos if anyone's interested;

Yeah, I do remember. You knew really your stuff from memory. I also remember acting like a complete dickhead to a few completely disinterested mates, telling them '...I knew that', and adding other Queen anecdotes they couldn't have cared less about.
Hot Space hey? Hmmm, might have to get me to a few more You Am I shows. If I see Tim giving the falsetto on Cool Cat a crack during the encore, I'll be impressed.
That link didn't work for me. It did get me to your facebook page though. I sent you a friend request. (I'm the one with a dodgy Mona Lisa avatar)
