i was thinking this morning of all the queen songs that i have played live with various bands over the years 1986 to present. i came up with this list

as a teenager [in the 80s]
a kind of magic
one vision
hammer to fall
who wants to live forever
we will rock you
sheer heart attack
crazy little thing called love

medley big spender/liar riff [a la magic tour] into tear it up/tie your mother down

also we played the magic tour rock and roll medley a few times.

in my present band we have played crazy little thing and sleeping on the sidewalk

i have also played in rehersals [again as a queen obsessed teenager]
radio ga ga [very badly]
calling all girls [with me on vocals, sounded awful]
dragon attack
loser in the end
who needs you
now i'm here
liar


anyway my question is.....


which queen songs has anyone played live in a band
and
in general how difficult did you find playing the queen tracks ?????
we've no ancestral halls, no haughty portraits on our walls, no family monuments at all, unless it's my cousin sheila's stupendous clevage.

With my previous band we were doing ultra-heavy version of stone Cold Crazy- I love it... similar to Metallica's version, slightly longer. I guess it was more difficult for the guitarist thanm for me...
Generally speaking- soem queen tracks are really difficult for vocalists. You acn sing them, but to sing in the same key is another story... Innuendo, Show Must Go On and the likes are INCREDIBLY difficult- there are few that I found absolutely "natural"- Fat Bottomed Girls, beforementioned SCC, Tie Your Mother Down or White Man (note- heavy ones)- but also Death On Two Legs (which I consider to be difficult as well). There are tracks that I may never sing PROPERLY- Radio Ga-Ga (yet I'm sure I'd be better than Paul Young...), Innuendo, Breakthru, Show... OF COURSE- you don't have to hit all the hgh notes- even Freddie wasn't doing it live, but... I wouldn't chose a song to perform when I know I can't sing it properly, to my full potential. It's something obvious- vocals on some Queen tracks are incredibly difficult

The Band I was in at uni used to do a mean version of '39.

My band right now does
WWRY(fast)
Fat Bottom Girls
Dragon Attack
Now Im here(reprise)
(some senses fail, hawthorne Heights, Rush, and Brand new)
Insturmental Inferno
39'
WWRY(slow)

thats pretty much it. We do about 4 songs from senses fail, 3 from Hawthorne Heights, and 6 from rush. So a gig for us is around 2 1/2 hours.
Well here's my counter-offer... do I have to kill you? What if I were just to kick the ever loving shit out of you?

Band I'm in does a storming version of Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Another One Bites The Dust. Trying to get our guitarists to learn Sleeping On The Sidewalk currently, fingers crossed...
M
On vocals -
Another One Bites The Dust
Scandal
A Kind Of Magic
Radio GaGa
The Show Must Go On (Probably one of the most played since I suck at it and want to get better everytime)
Hammer To Fall
I Was Born To Love You

On piano -
I Want To Break Free... live and studio, and there's even a music video to this.

... I'd like to perform the vocals of 'Tie Your Mother Down' and 'Get Down Make Love' live.

Before I got married :-( I did play Stone Cold Crazy and White Man. They came off very nicely.

My old band did Hammer To Fall a couple times. With my current band, we plan to do TYMD, and I'm in the process of writing a guitar solo with the Brighton Rock style of delay.
