Plus, Rufus Tiger is not playing just a drum set. He is playing timpani and all sorts of other percussion. Adds a richer sound than just a drum set. My question is how often do the Queen studio recordings use other percussion than a drum set? Too many times to list. >> Roger played the Timpani and Gong in concerts for years. Since 1975. And not all the percussion was played by Roger. Here's a fun one..... Bicycle Race: Freddie Mercury - lead and backing vocals, piano, bicycle bells Brian May - guitars, backing vocals, bicycle bells John Deacon - bass guitar, bicycle bells Roger Taylor - drums, backing vocals, bicycle bells ETA: Queen percussion list (just the songs with titles starting with A, B or C) Roger: drums tambourine bass drum timpani electronic percussion electronic drums gong (undefined) percussion Band: banging on floorboards, stomping on floorboards handclaps bicycle bells John Deacon and Brian May: drum machine |

I haven't seen Adam live since GNT in Milwaukee and I was on a high from that for months. God help me in Chicago!!!!!!! Thanks to my daughter I won't be driving!!lol |

Somebody talked about 'imprinting' on a voice once. I am definitely imprinted on Adams voice. Whenever I hear him sing, especially when I am not expecting it, my whole body just gets a shot of adrenaline (or whatever hormone it might be). If I listen to Freddie, he makes me rock, smile, go 'woaaa that's f*cking brilliant', or just very happy, but I don't get that 'Adam' tingle. Doesn't say anything about Freddie or Adam, but a lot about me  . I work on research in a related area and am actually working on the design for a study of popular music in advertising and emotional response (directly related to imprinting). I am still working on the foundational work but it is shocking how little research has been done on music and working memory, longterm memory and the associated emotional response. Anecdotal evidence suggests that people develop tastes for the genre of music that they were exposed to in their late adolescence and early adulthood, to the exclusion of other genres. The underlying emotional response that different music elicits seems to be preserved. But there is a gap in neuroscience research to support this. There also (oddly) is very little work to deal with music preferences in the US and culture, region, social and environmental factors. Music is directly tied to socially acceptable behavior -- what is "cool". So... I guess you'll be spending the summer conducting research/interviews with concert goers from all over the world, looking for answers... what were their late adolescent musical influences/preferences, have their tastes changed or remained the same? What prompted any change, etc., etc. Is it cool to be a Queen/QAL fan today? Is the questionnaire ready?  Wish I could volunteer to be your research assistant... |

Q3 did a great job answering! The only name not mentioned during tours (understandably) is Neil Murray who filled in on bass for Danny Miranda a few times when Danny was ill. Neil was a member of the Brian May band and also was involved in We Will Rock You. In fact Neilw as considered for QPR but they went with Danny because Danny could sing backing vocals.
There were here a few others for some of the one off gigs but those weren't tours...
also on the subject of percussion....one of my favs is seaside rendezvous when Freddie and Roger put thimbles on their fingers and played them on a table!
