bazmitch: "Hi people. Interesting to see the speculation about my recording. Listen to John (S. Stuart), he knows the truth. Yes it is the only existing recording of me with Queen. And John, of course I look older. The only picture you have probably seen of me was taken 35 years ago. I still had hair! If any of you get hold of my recording I hope you enjoy it. Glad to make it available for you guys.
regards Barry Mitchell
We all listen very attentively when John posts. We were all in misery when he was off d/t an accident but we are very happy that he's back and well. John provides us with info for our Queen bibles!!!
Love you John!!!!! :)

Thanks for the answers.
I am sure now that the "cat is out of the bag" you will find that your e-mail is inundated, and that you are asked the same FAQ's, but the guys in here are a fairly decent bunch, and will, on the whole support you.
Hope that you continue to enjoy your visits here.

Hey Barry,
Welcome to the zone, it's great to have you here.
Did you follow the bands carreer after you left? Or did you ever went to a show to see them?
And which was your favourite song to play back then.
Cheers,
niek

I have another question if you don´t mind Barry: if Brian and Roger would have invited you to be the bass player on their current tour (ie. replacing John), would you have accepted? I think that it would have been nice... much more Queenie than what it already is!

Hi Niek,
Obviously I took a keen interest ih the bands career, but i only went to one show. It was one of the autumn shows at Imperial College in 1973.
My favourite song would be a toss up between Stonecold Crazy and Liar. I went to see Roger with The Cross in the 90`s at The Junction, Cambridge. And got backstage to say hello after all these years. Which was nice.

Well, that is an intriquing thought!
I would have given it serious consideration!
But I am not sure that my style of play would fit that well with their songs any more.
But a nice idea all the same :-)
Thanks for such a quick reply. You are a very nice person, Barry! :o)
Do you ever regret leaving the band?
ok this is going to sound so weird but,
Barry,
Do you know anyway of contacting Roger T? cos im a drummer and hes the only reason i started and would like to know all about the history of how he started drumming all the way up to how he is now, he is literally my idol. Any ideas of how to do that? i know its near impossible but worth a shot, and how was Rogers drumming skills when you knew him?
thanks!
Begg!

That must be my most FAQ.
No............Life is too short for stuff like that.

Hi Begg, sorry I dont have an inside track to Roger. He was as good a drummer then as he still is now. Good luck with your playing.

Barry,
When you were with the band, was there any talk at that time of going into a studio with you? It would be interesting to know what the extent of the band's ambition was at that time.

Hi Benn.
I dont ever remember any talk about recording.We were really focused on getting a full set of material together for live shows. However there was an obvious desire to take the band forward. Particularly on the part of Freddie ( no surprise there )
Regards,
Barry
Thanks for that Barry.
In terms of the material that you guys were playing - in soundchecks and rehearsals etc - what were you playing? Was it all original Queen material or were you trialing more cover versions? Were you playing Smile material still at that stage?
