In mid-March, I attended a memorial service for a 27 year old young man, the beloved grandson of friends, who tragically left us too soon. Garrett had been a drummer until 2012 in a metal band called Age of Evil with his younger brother, Jordan on lead guitar, and another set of brothers. Within this special community of musicians, friends and family gathered at the service, many wore “AOE” t- shirts as a tribute, including Grandpa. I was soon to learn that Garrett had been an avid QUEEN fan as everyone attending sat in silence with tears while his favorite Queen song played - “The Great Pretender.”

Fast forward to March 30th, 2016. Jordan Ziff, Garrett’s 24 year old brother, is invited to play guitar with the 80’s band, KING KOBRA at the SWEDEN ROCK FESTIVAL two days after QAL performs.
Call it fate, karma, serendipity or the spirit of love between brothers and music.

I truly hope Jordan has the opportunity to meet Brian May, Roger Taylor and Adam Lambert and tell them how important Queen had been to his older brother and family and what an extreme honor it is to be performing at the same festival.

Check out Jordan playing guitar and you'll hear part of a familiar song: Be sure to watch the entire video and I guess it's a requirement for all great guitarists to have long hair?

(Wish Talon or someone could tweet this to Brian May and thanks for letting me share this story)

Funny to me that the rider's ask for Coke products but then don't want Dasani water (made by the same company). There was a supposed recall on Dasani due to parasites found in the product but, I think, that was proved to be not true. I couldn't find the tea that Adam drinks -- the translation directs me to articles on throat cancer. So, I think it's simply throat coat. Of course the honey is very high quality and has super power properties. Personally, I want to visit Roger's room backstage. I want to think I could be as strict as Adam and Brian but it looks like Roger's room is more to my liking.

Dasani adds salt. Most waters don't. I think that is the reason.
Yes, Rogers room seems like fun!

Wow, I never knew about the salt. Seems like a peculiar additive especially when you think about quenching thirst and detoxing properties.

eta: I was just informed by my dh that some people drink the salted water to retain fluids so they don't become dehydrated. That makes sense too.

A long term Israeli member on another fansite just posted: I just came to tell you all about the announcement (still unofficial) that QAL are coming here on September 12th! (I see that someone beat me to it, lol.) It was just on the entertainment TV show. They strung me along throughout the whole show with hints and snippets until at the end they gave the date. It will be in a park in Tel Aviv where they have the big shows, like the Rolling Stones. It holds 50,000. So whoever wants to come, start planning. Welcome one and ALL.
