Hello all! Nice to see so many of you here! I am quite busy, to be frank, but I am absolutely in love with Roger's and specially with Brian's online performances. Cheers, Ogre- They are great aren't they! Nice to see that they are keeping busy.

The lockdown has caused me to listen to less music of any type, as I used to listen mostly in the car and at work, both of which have been curtailed! Now I'm at home more, I don't tend to listen to all that much, as I have other things to take up the time, but I do listen to a lot of radio, so Queen is still heard quite often.

Bob also played a number of acoustic live shows online recently, one of which was "Queen night". It was awesome throughout, but he played a really neat version of "She Makes Me" which completely sparked my interest in a song I always found to be drab. I'm honoured that you even remembered ! It feels like ancient history now.

In the Netherlands, there is not a full lockdown, but since I'm only allowed in the factory for business critical trials/production work, I am working a lot from home already since the beginning of March. Big advantage is that I have easy access to my music collection. I've been listening to some Queen concert recordings, that I downloaded from QZ the past few years, a lot lately. I was never aware that there were so many recordings in a more than pleasant and listenable quality out there!
I also managed to spend some time listening to other artists as well.

Guy's first post on new forum, what a relief to have intellectual and interesting discussions.
Changing my normal listening. Albums are a thing again, start to finish. From a Queen perspective, slightly obsessed with Jazz 'B' side, Dreamers Ball is just wonderful, Dead on Time, I just can't get my vocal chords to keep in time, and I really love the cross pollination of Freddie and Roger on Fun It.
Listening a lot to The Wildhearts, massively underrated, please try them out, The Darkness as not listened to them much post Pinewood Smile, lots of solo Roger and The Cross, Therapy, Terrorvision and about to embark on Pearl Jam, who I used to love but drifted from. Oh and another great band, Massive Wagons.
Yeah, listening habits have changed, but hopefully for the better.

I go through phases of being obssessed with SHA then not listening to it for a year or 2. Leroy Brown blows my mind, the amount of work that went into that song is utterly incredible, RTB needs a shout out here for putting that stuff together. I love Bring Back That Leroy Brown, that bassline especially. That was the most fun to play bassline I've played. Never knew Bob did a couple of online shows. Where can I see 'em? Never seen him perform before. Brilliant song.

Locked with an almost 2-year old child doesnβt give me a break and I can hardly listen to any music these days, nor even play my guitar sadly, but at least I try watching Brianβs mini-concertos, which I find very enjoyable. Just watched his Get Back cover with Gary Barlow and thought that was great! In my case an 8 year old, but luckily he's a big music fan. Queen, Willie Nelson and Johnny cash are his thing.
