What Beatles songs do they even remotely sound like? And where in the Beatles catalog is there a 30s swing style song, never mind the Dixieland jazz band section with several guitars emulating trumpet, trombone and clarinet?

It saddens me that even some Queen fans do not appreciate the sheer brilliance of Good Company. This is arguably the single greatest arrangement of guitars in a rock song ever created. Brian May is by far the most under-rated rock guitarist of all time.[/QUOTE]

Maybe a bit of an overstatement but I appreciate the sentiments and agree Good Company is absolutely amazing. Has anyone ever tried to do anything like GC, before or since? Steve Vai maybe? I haven;t heard all his solo stuff but his guitar orchestrations and delays are likely influenced by Brian.
