foo fighters on drugs? not all of them.......but this would have been right around when Taylor Hawkins was either heaviest into drugs, or in rehab.....don't remember which, but the point is he would have been unavailable, and as he's the Queen fanatic of the group, it just wouldn't have been right for Foo Fighters to lend a hand with someone else on drums (Dave?).

at least, that's my take on it.....
So let's try again.....removing the fact that the Foo Fighters may or may not have been on drugs - what other songs would have been worth hearing a-cow-stick-ly?
"Just tryin' to have a little fun, folks..."
i think it would've been really fun to see them bring out John for a special appearance, and see him either step up to an upright bass, or, more likely, strap on an acoustic 4-string, and hear them run through AOBTD and UP unplugged. those two songs could take some very interesting turns in the acoustic arena (so to speak).
Unplugged stuff really sucks!!!

I hate what Brian did to Hammer To Fall and I REALLY hate what he did to Driven By You for the Another World tour. That was simply tragic.
Not those are losers who fall, but those who don't stand up.
I like Brians Storytellers gig!
King Freddie still rules
Id have liked to see them begin with Innuendo the accoustic version. Just guitar and harmonious singing. lovely!
I've been thinking about how great it would sound if Son & Daughter got the acoustic Tie Your Mother Down treatment (done in a similar way to how Brian did it on his Another World vh1 live thingy).

Might sound cool.

Ding ding ding - that's correct. It was supposed to be done in conjunction with Dave and Taylor from Foo Fighters, and when Taylor OD'd and was comatose for a few days in the UK, the whole thing went into hiatus and it just never happened. Everybody had moved on by the time Taylor was better. Yet another Queen-related project that was announced and then quietly never mentioned again.

And obviously whatever it would have looked like, it would have been "Brian and Roger, a stand-in bass player and a bunch of second rate singers" or however it was so optimistically put earlier in the thread. Obviously some people would rather see nothing happen rather than see something that didn't specifically satisfy their expectations. You don't get many happy surprises that way though.
Blow it out your ass.
