Speaking of Fatty (I dont actually know who you are talking about) but the lyrics in Fat Bottomed Girls are reported as 'Left alone with big fat Fanny' But I always thought they were 'Fatty'. Quite hard to make out on the isolated vocal too. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
This is an example of Fatty's best work in my opinion......

Big fat fatty is a bit redundant. Fanny makes more sense, and carries a double meaning if Fanny's supposed to be the name of the woman.

Some hilarious stuff. How come some of the posts cut off before they seem to be finished, though? Is it something weird that's happened with old threads?

I've read fatty's stuff before, but always love re-visiting it. This one had me in stitches:
19th NOVEMBER 1991
Dear Diary
The Pain has become almost unbearable and the doctors are reluctant to give me a straight answer as to how long I have left to live. To make matters worse, Roger came to visit me today and in the course of our conversation he mentioned his solo career. You can only imagine how shocked I was and it took all my skills as a stage performer to act as though I was aware of this. When he went home I had Pheobe look into this and it turns out he has released 2 solo albums and a further two albums as lead singer with another band. I had no bloody idea what he was talking about. Roger kept asking me which of his solo songs I liked best and I had to pretend to lapse into a coma to avoid answering him. I really will have to set a day aside and listen to them. In fact I think I'll make a note in my diary just now and keep that day free.
F.M.
25th NOVEMBER 1991
Keep day free to listen to Roger's solo albums.

Yeah, that man is a thing of genius.
His book "Shut yer puss, a wee book of Scottish slang" is a thing of perfection.

Panchgani, re:
>Like you, dudeofqueen has less than 250 posts and is a low on the QZ totem pole as a "Bohemian" ... Easy pickins'
Not sure what my post count has to do with it..........as explained on another thread, I lost my log-in some time back and had to create a new account......... Hope that helps.
Just simply trying to resurrect a tiny bit of humour with so little news or genuine Queen activity to discuss.
Wouldn't it be interesting, though, to speculate on who could make up the "Unknowns" in this fictitious call?
Would anyone be interested in a new band project from Brian?

If you read any of the guitar or drum based magazines many young and old well known players list Queen as their inspiration, so I suspect were he to put a call out there would be a long list of people that would like to work with him.
However having played in a band myself for over 30 years I can say it's as hard as a marriage to find the right chemistry, I was lucky, we have basically been the same group for decades, Brian trying to find the same chemistry he had in Queen could be very diffcult. Having said that if the likes of the folk from the Foos were free I bet they'd jump at the chance again, they loved it before, so I'm sure folk are out there that would got for it.

Togg, re:

That would completely defeat the object, surely, given that he's STILL knocking about the Queen name with another vocalist and bass player.
Perhaps, though, that's exactly why he doesn't bother - he's simply happy chasing around on the reputation of a band that no longer exists. You have to assume that he's no longer trying to be creative after what he perceived to be failure with Paul Rodgers.

Also - Fanny rhymes with nanny.

Yeah, yet another chapter in QZ history where the forum was acting up. And literally the best posts ever here are partially lost as a result.

... almost entirely because they used the Queen name. It certainly was not a bad album. There were 4 or 5 great tracks.
Had they been called literally anything else, it would've been seen as a supergroup, and come out to critical acclaim.
But since Brian wants to use the Queen name, then being a touring nostalgia act with the hit jukebox is all they'll be.
He can do whatever he wants, and this was his decision. And look at the smile on his face every night - he's made the right choice.
