Thanks to the italian fans from Comunita Queeniana :-)

Interesting interview with Queen's third bass player, Doug Bogie (NOT Ewood :-) )

Thank you doubly.

A great read AND a great deterrent for anyone thinking of putting a mouse on their head as a child.

I had no idea they caused localized hair loss

A very professional interview. Debunks rumors, well informed about such a short period in the band history. Great share.

Great interview, thanks for sharing! It reminded me of something I read the other day on Queen's first 3 bassists, it's an excerpt from the book "Is This the Real Life?: The Untold Story of Queen", by Mark Blake. Don't know if the book is any good but this part was interesting.

Nice. The Yes Album was their third though.

Great reading. Thanks!

thanks Peter!

enjoyed the reading very much !

Great stuff. Note for all those musicians out there: WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN AND TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES! You just never know.

This is a great interview. Thanks for posting it here.

Great Thanks... Some interessting things mentioned. Wasn't the multitrack from Hammersmith 1979 lost??? Doug bougie mentioned this:

I did meet Brian one other time... we were both working at AIR Studios London. I was recording the tracks for RAF 1 and Brian was working on the Concert For Kampuchea charity album.

Airstudios:

Lyndhurst Hall
Lyndhurst Road
Hampstead
London
NW3 5NG


Multitrack could be there...

Lovely fella. Great read.
(Or should that be 'feller', here on QZ)

It's quite good indeed. Mentions stuff most other sources don't and that's always appreciated.

Really enjoyed reading that.

Found his comments about Brian's personality particularly interesting.

Nice interview overall.

But man, is he ever wrong about Steve Howe.

From 'And You And I' to 'Clap' to 'The Gates Of Delirum' there is just so much depth and diversity to what he created. He contributed to music that will be listened to centuries from now the way we listen to Mozart today.

Slagging off other artists (never mind great artists) is what sets apart the men from the boys.

The man has his opinion. What's the problem with that?
