The day the Musical died

Went to see "We will rock you" in the big smoke at the weekend.

I'm sure everyone knows that I don't like musicals but this one took the piss.

It was shit from start to finish. The storyline was pitiful, they changed some of the lyrics of the songs and the lead female character kept cracking the same old anti male gags.

If I had paid for the ticket, I would have wanted to go back stage and give Ben Elton the money in person.

Don't ever watch it. It's insulting

But there was one good bit.
Gonna have to set the scene first though.

The musical is about a futuristic time when all musical instruments are banned. The only access to music is computer generated synthesised pop. The establishment are rounding up rebels who attempt to play and condemning them to death.

The music police caught Brian May and condemned him to death.
When asked if he had any last wish , Brian replied "I want to play one last guitar solo".

He played for 3 and a half days.

So just about the length of a Pink Floyd song.

He keeps playing that one last guitar solo at the drop of every slightly Queen-related hat. Can him and Roger Tailor get any more sad? Yes, yes, they can. And they're not going away quietly. There's probably still tapes of Freddie discussing stuff with his manager while the others were playing pool in the studio's recreation room. A bit of editing and there's probably another few albums in it.

Agreed X, but don't get me started on P.F. God I hate that shit.
