Egietje katydyd5 Lplix littlequeenie97 n39 onedunpark pg Plengel NathanH Steve BrƎИsꓘi OK, while Martin is recuperating, I've devised a little stand alone quiz of my own. This is for all of the above and anyone else who wants to join in. This is called 'Short Cuts' and below you will find a small download to 37 snippets of Queen tracks that you need to identify. Some are straightforward, but some are not so. You may find bits of stems / multitracks, BBC versions, and some clips may be reversed or otherwise altered. In the spirit of the game, no assistance from audio editing software is allowed! Please PM me your answers - do not post answers in this thread!
You have until 10pm on Wednesday evening to submit your answers, then all will be revealed. Download Here
By the way, there was 36, then I realised I'd miscounted, hence the odd number!  Note - this quiz is now closed, but you can still do it for fun if you wish to. PM me your answers and I will let send you the correct answers by return PM.

Ok, after the first run I can confidently say that I've...lost track of which was Which, and ended at number 36.
To my surprise I think I've got one of the backwards ones - normally crap at that (unless it's ogre battle which is relatively easy to get)

I have properly still to sit down with this, but first looks? All the years I have been a queen fan (that will be 47), I am embarrassed to put a number on how many I recognise. I'm struggling to get more than 50%.
Head down and focus tonight.....

Thanks for creating this quiz Lord Fickle! I'm going to sit this one out for several reasons, one being that I may be willing to embarrass myself in general knowledge quizzes, but I'm not about to do the same by trying a Queen quiz in a Queen forum. No way, no how.
Brenksi, I hope you find some relief soon. I have chronic back issues due to a collapsed disc so I understand your pain and frustration. I hope you get some relief soon.

No way, no how. Aww, that's disappointing. 🙁 Would it make any difference if I said that no one has got a full house yet? I'm sure there must be some you recognise, but I respect your decision if you want to skip this one. |

I'm struggling to get more than 50%. Head down and focus tonight..... Bear in mind these might not all be the standard album versions. There might be bits from stems / multitracks, possibly some 12" and 7" versions, etc. What I will say is there's no live stuff, and it's all Queen, so no solo material. Good luck! 🙂 |

This is doing ma nut in!! |

I counted them several times! 😁 No suggestion that you had it wrong! Just that the only thing I knew for sure was that I had miscounted! |

Got some howlers wrong in there (including my favourite Queen song!!). Going through the answers now and so many of them seem all so obvious.
Thanks Lord Fickle
