at least the Who showed queen how to do it
It was a 44 year old solo to longtime Queen fans. To most of the audience (and me) it was new. I liked it!
Also, you don't really hear guitar solos in current music anymore (more's the pity) so it was a novelty in that way too.

And I would listen to them in a boat.
And I would listen to them with a goat…
and I will listen to them in the rain.
And in the dark.
And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
They are so good,so good, you see!
So I will listen to them in a box.
And I will listen to them with a fox.
And I will listen to them in a house.
And I will listen to them with a mouse.
And I will listen to them here and there.
Say! I will listen to them ANYWHERE!
I do so like Queen +!
Thank you! Thank you, Moan-I-am!

'Who made you forum ruler?' is not the same as 'I prefer to see the same boring topics over and over.'
There are many topics here that aren't interesting at all. The solution is ignoring them, rather than moaning about how other people moan, or trying to persuade them to talk about something else.

you're saying modern rock bands don't do guitar solos? whaat do they do in the middle-eight then? lead electric triangle solos? tambourine solos? stylophone solos?
you're so wrong about that...listening to planet rock now and all the recent songs played on there since teatime have had guitar solos
as for live solos? Lifeson, Gilmour, Angus, and more besides are still doing live solos...and at least they change theirs a little down the years....even Angus
and Ritchie Blackmore's solos have dramatically chnaged since he left purple in 92 :-)
Oh OK. Most of the modern stuff that I listen to (as in newish bands, not older bands that are still playing) are alt. rock (or whatever you'd classify bands like Blue October, OneRepublic, The Fray) and I don't often (if ever) hear guitar solos from them.
Brian and Roger are keeping Queen relevant,whether people like it or not.Ive been a Queen fan since the seventies,and i miss Freddie like crazy,still,but Brian and Roger wrote a hell of a lot of the Queen catalogue,so who gives anybody the right to dictate what they do,or dont do with their own songs,if u dont like what they do now,dont listen.Ill bet everyone who moans on here still go and buy everything that gets released,they will be first in the queue to buy The Queen & Adam Lambert Blu Ray,or the next Greatest Hits package.Queen will continue to be popular because they perform with people like Jessie J,because a portion of her fans will buy GREATEST HITS 1 or 2.Freddies legacy lives on because of the hard work Brian May & Roger Taylor continue to do,like it or not.Thanks...
Brian and Roger are doing a fine job of staying around and keeping the music somewhat alive, what they're forgetting is that popular art belongs to the fans because the fans are the ones who made it popular in the first place. If a significant portion of the fans are greatly unhappy with some of the things they are doing with the art, then there is a problem that needs to be adressed.

LOL, a lot of the people who complain about Queen are experience Queen fans.
Queenmoan is actually the sound first invented by Brian. Queen fans cannot reproduce this sound exactly even with similar equipment and lots of practice.
