I'm not really a fan of the symphonic stuff, but this was enjoyable listening in the background as I worked on other things, and Marc's voice is in good shape.

I'll leave it here for those who care lol.

Why hadn't we heard about this?

As long as it's a tribute band this is pretty cool. I'll check it out soon

Wow , I really like this kind of format! Marc sounds fresh and his voice is in ok shape. The orchestra and background/ harmony voices are spot on!

But how the fuck could you hire that lead guitarist, when the sound of Brian is that important to queen songs? The sound of that guitar is horrible and really destroys the good vibe.

At least get a Dansan/ RS or Brian May Super through a cranked AC30 with treblebooster. noob...

Thanks, I will check it out!

Marc makes it sound so Fresh

Thank you

Only problem I have are the repeated encores , I thought Somebody To love and Your'e My Best Friend should have been included especially with a Choir

They played Innuendo, Last Horizon and Somebody To Love!

Couldn't stand the accents on the choir parts. ...and the guitarist could've been someone else entirely...and no vocals on INNUENDO (why?)

But aside from that. It wasn't bad. Thanks for alerting the forum to this once again

Sounds interesting, thank you

Aye, there are a few strange things about it, but it's interesting nonetheless. I stumbled across it completely by accident and thought I'd share as there hadn't been much said about it. If he does a few more of these, I'm sure it will knit together nicely.
