Guys guys guys ! - this is the movies! - dang getting bogged down with accuracy and authentication, IT has never mattered.
What's important is the SPIRIT of the subject. That's all.

Agreed. But still!
The problem with the setlist is - someone would've said we need a cool looking setlist for the teaser. If it was just for a prop on stage that no one sees up close it could've had Bauhaus song titles on there for all we'd know. However for this close up, that idea goes to the art director who then sends the brief to an artist who will then research it and look at similar ones - I guess hence Hangman being there > then it goes back up the trail. At no point did anyone say 'hold on' bearing in mind they are working on a Queen film that is priding itself in accuracy. So that makes me think it's on purpose. As a troll, because FBG is someone's fav song, because Orge is banned in China, because whatever. Would be nice to know.
Of course, Ogre Battle could've had the working title 'FBG' and the band still referred to it as that until Brian took the unused title and made a new song with that name. Then we be the stupid.

Not to mention that it's written on A4 and not Foolscap.

Usually I'd agree, but look at the description:
'Greg Brooks, Queens’ Official Archivist was part of this process and he worked with the band and the movie production team on a daily basis for months to re-create every tiny detail of each scene and to make it as authentic as possible.'

Agreed, and exactly my earlier point - it's QPL/GB that actively set the bar, and openly come out with ludicrous statements around authenticity which we know won't be the case; in any other business you would 'manage customer expectations' but they never do with all their hyperbole. We wouldn't be banging on about it if they hadn't already set the challenge!!
dysan, re:
>Still it's pretty cool Hangman is on that setlist. Maybe something is forthcoming.
Fucking hell; reading into things that simply aren't there......

There are currently 2 threads reading stuff into these trailers. And you pick up on that comment?
There's a longer trailer up now. It looks worse that the short one.
They’ve already had/decided to replace yesterday’s trailer with a new version, where Roger’s t shirt on arrival at the airport in Japan has now been airbrushed a plain purple in place of yesterday’s ‘land of the rising sun’ design.
Why have they made Freddie look like this?

FBG means "Fat Big Giant", aka the Ogre.
