Cover Charge #52 - Queen to The Shadows

Cover Charge is simple: A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop back to where I started, Ouroboros-style.

Last time: Travis to Queen

Queen were too busy doing their own thing to record many covers. But their individual members were more productive, thank goodness (for this series). Take the corkscrew-haired astrophysicist and badger-saviour that is Mr Brian May. Like a lot of his guitar-bothering chums, he was asked to contribute something to Twang, a 1996 tribute album celebrating the music of Hank Marvin and The Shadows... to wit, here he is ripping through FBI. It starts out a Straight Bat, but becomes increasingly an Own Stamp.

Here's the original from Hank, Bruce and the lads. I've gone for a live performance, so you can enjoy their trademark "dance" moves.

Next time: this series descends to a new low...
