Your Ultimate Rock Super Group

[atomic1975]

As a fan of Queen and Led Zeppelin, I have to disagree. Plants voice was suffering Mid 1970s but after the time out it was fine again. And don't forget where Queen were emotionally and career wise before Live Aid - days from quitting.
Zep at their peak Vs Queen at theirs - Zep would edge it on material, musicianship and performance, but I reckon Queen and only Queen would be pushing them all the way to the wire

[Smog Boy]

Vocals - Jim Morrison
Keyboards - Trent Reznor
Drums - Keith Moon
Guitar - Jimi Hendrix / Clapton.

Or just the band that had Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison and Bob Dylan in it.

i think jimmy page was pretty sloppy a lot, I don't think Robert Plant is btter singer than Freddie. I love the sound of John Deacons bas on the records but I think tht has more to do with the recording method than his talent, even thogh he's great bu I'mm give Jones the edge and Bonham was a much better Drummer than Roger Taylor. Also Queen were never gonna break up, I never saw any indication of that.

[TomSelis]

I'm glad Queen's getting a lot of love.

You a Van Halen fan? Jimmy Page was a perfectly precise guitarist until he started smacking up, and ocninues to be spot on these days. Ironic that he got such a slating from EVH back in the late 70s (EVH having drawn heavily on Page's style too) for being "sloppy" - which is where that "Page is Sloppy" myth originates - when nowadays EVH can barely lift a guitar for all the holes in his arms.

But I digress, your main point was about Queen - from what I've read in magazines around the time of the Miracle and one non-official book, Queen weren't having the best of times getting along following Radio Gaga /The Works and the subsequent tour. There are a lot of people who believe that if Freddie hadn't have been ill, Queen would have just drifted apar. I for one am glad they didn't, as we wouldn't have had the wonderful Innuendo album, or even Made in Heaven, which I particularly enjoy lately.

One other point. John Deacon has nothing to do with Queen these days because - I have heard rumoured in several places, and on TV - some years ago (probably between A Kind of Magic and The Miracle) Roger Taylor visited QUeen's warehouse of instruments with his band The Cross, and "borrowed" one of JD's favourite bass guitars without asking...
