Foo Fighters and Extreme were probably more influenced by Queen than any other band, yet they sound nothing like them.[/QUOTE]
I beg to differ. You can tell the Foo Fighters are influenced by Queen. You don't necessarily hear it, but you can feel it.[/QUOTE]
Brian said that The Darkness had their own sound, which he liked.[/QUOTE]
Some artists would rather not badmouth those constantly praise them even if they are "stealing" their sound. Brian is one of those artists.
Paul McCartney never said anything bad about Oasis until they started badmouthing him.

Justin Hawkins made himself famous by stealing sound, on stage moves, and outfits from 70s.
What we never thought is that just like the average rock star from the 70s, he put himself into the habit of snorting mountins of coke.

Too bad that they are no longer a band. They were original and had a sense of humor about themselves. Now all we hear are songs with no melody from Nickelback all day long.

I have just always assumed by how much emphasis was put on how the band got it's idea to come together when they heard Justin sing BoRhap "perfectly, even all the opera bits" that Queen was their main influence. The fact that they chose a rather obscure 70's music producer name Roy Thomas Baker, of all people, to produce their second album also kind of points in that direction. Maybe I'm wrong. But on the other hand, maybe I'm a duck-billed platypus. [/QUOTE]
Well there's no way around it.... yeah, they're pretty Queen oriented in a lot of respects; but there are some things which aren't specific to Queen, that they've lifted. Some people ignore this.

Nickelback always corrupts my favorite classic rock station and whenever they come on everybody in the car is like "turn it!"
