Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

"Hey guys, the bass player wrote a song and he wants to play it for us". "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, wait, what? You're serious? Oh OK then, yeh let's here the bass player's 'song'..." That's usually the way it goes in bands but John's first contribution made it onto side two of 1974's adventurous masterpiece, Sheer Heart Attack. Roger gets a new drum, Kev's the Turkey of the Month, and we get into the weeds about the future of music as an AI "artist" is signed to a contract (and people wonder why I drink!")If Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it "Is misfire a euphemisim?" or possibly, "Your gun is loaded and pointing my way!"Today's episode covers Deacy's first solo contribution to Queen's catalogue, "Misfire".NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev's manifestations and the wheel spin, that happens at 32:32!Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter, Facebook, and BlueSky! We'll always try to answer any questions you have and seriously appreciate any corrections you make to anything we get wrong. And thanks so much for all your support as usual.

I had this perfect dream... and then I woke up. But, weirdly, when I woke up, I found out that Randy is running for the office of the Prime Minister of the Central African Republic! Yeh, THAT Randy! The guy who downvoted The Prophet's Song! I mean, how in the green shit did we end up here? Well, you can listen to the episode to find out, but you're gonna have to wade through a whole lot of us talking about a wide range of topics, from Nellie the Elephant to Bryan Adams. From Bruce Dickinson to Scott Moe (fuck that guy). Oh, and Queen. We definitely talk about Queen! If Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it "All God's People", because he's a lazy, lazy good-for-nothing son-of-a-bitch!!!Today's episode covers some of the leftover scraps from Freddie's Barcelona sessions, the aforementioned "All God's People".NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev's manifestations and the wheel spin, that happens at 35:57!Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter, Facebook, and BlueSky!

Back to the first record! We're trapped in the seventies for a third week in a row and we are not mad about that! I checked on Wikipedia and apparently, this Jesus fella was kind of a big deal in Judea in the 0000s. You probably know him best from his range of sandles and uncomfortable headwear but to many he was much better known as a carpenter, principally through his Dad's construction business. There was a lot of property development around Jerusalem at the time as the populaton bounced back from Psycho Herod's mad slaughter campaign a few years earlier. Incredibly, Herod faced no charges and was retained as monarch for a substantial period! Sorry, I got a bit carried away down the Wikipedia rabbit hole there. In this episode we talk quite an awful lot about Queen! And why not. That's what the podcast is about after all!We also listen to the De Lane Lea version of Jseus to see how it differs from the eventual recorded version.If Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it "I bet Jesus couldn't drive a stick shift" or possibly "Stone Cold Jesus!"Today's episode covers the penultimate track from Queen's debut album "Jesus".NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev's manifestations and the wheel spin, that happens at 34:23!Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

Well, we're going back a couple more years and heading to Sheer Heart Attack. Kevin almost manifested the song for the second time!!! No, seriously, he was like 3 pixels away!!! Randy knows this song, Kev knows this song and the boys get into a discussion about whether Roger Taylor is swinging the beat. Kev insists he is, Randy is not convinced! The first song that Queen ever played live and a mainstay of the set from 1970 to 1978, this is possibly the first thrash metal song. It's also the first song credited to all four band members, mainly because they couldn't remember who'd actually written the lyrics!We also listen to the BBC version of Spread Your Wings after repeated recommendations. Oh, and we talk about the Metallica cover that inexplicably won a grammy in 1991.If Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it "Wouldn't a wet fish bone smell worse" or possibly "Stone Cold Crazy Rocks"Today's episode covers the heaviest song from arguably Queen's heaviest album "Sheer Heart Attack", we're all "Stone Cold Crazy".NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev's manifestations and the wheel spin, that happens at 41:37!

We've gone forward to the past! Yes, we've abandoned synths and drum machines, said farewell to high-gloss production and made our way back to Frank's house to talk about one of Deacy's very best tunes. We'll discover what hairy big toes have to do with anything, what Randy has been spending his time doing instead of working on proper music, and there's more whining and moaning about Sportsball from the Cardinal, whose eventual funeral we cordially invite you all to attend. In and amongst all this, we talk guitar tone, economy of arrangement, and C-sections (not that kind).We also talk a little bit about the Fab Four's recently released final single, if you're a Beatles fan at all, and if you're not, take yourself outside and give yourself a jolly good talking to!If Mr. Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it "Who does Sammy think he is?" or possibly "Does the Emerald Bar server deep-fried pickles?"Today's episode covers the penultimate track from side one of 1977's "News Of The World", "Spread Your Wings".Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

Back to the Miracle sessions! We're stuck in the 80s folks. It's lycra pants, polyester jackets and really, really, really bad haircuts all the way! It's also damn near our one year anniversary! We're so thankful for all of you who have tuned in to our nonsensical ramblings and incredibly sorry to have put you to so much trouble! Can Kev and Randy find anything nice to say about another song from '89? Will Sylvester Stallone appear at the beginning of this song to avenge his mother's aunt's cab driver's cousin's hairdresser and foil a plot by the nazis to switch out her mousse for brylcreem? What am I talking about? Do you know? DO I KNOW??? There are no answers in this podcast, but you're welcome to listen along anyway!If Mrs. Mr. Randy were to title this episode, she’d probably call it "Thank God you're still alive" or possibly "It's another song from The Miracle".Today's episode covers the B-side to "I Want It All", "Hang On In There"Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

Four weeks in a row now we've been stuck in the 80s. We feel like a modern Marty McFly and Doc Brown. And as Randy is older than Kevin, that makes him Doc Brown, which is slightly confusing because that's Kevin's surname. Hey ho. What does Alanis Morissette have to do with The Miracle? A complete lack of understanding of the meaning of words apparantly. Every drop of rain that falls in Sahara Desert : meteorologyThe Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal : engineering and architectureTest tube babies being born : chemistry and biologyMothers, fathers dead and gone : simple atrophyNot a miracle among them.What on earth were the boys on when they assembled this list of so-called "Miracles"? We don't know, and we're betting neither do you. But hey, no-one ever said that a pop song had to make sense. Bob Dylan once wrote "The sun's not yellow, it's chicken!" so maybe this is all OK...If Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it "We're having a miracle on earth", or possibly "What is a miracle?"Today's episode covers, you guessed it, the title track from 1989's "The Miracle".Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

What the hell is a case hammer? No, no, no, it's Kaeshammer. Michael Kaeshammer - and we talked about the gig we went to a little bit in this one. We also see the return of LaCROSS-TALK albeit only conceptually. Look, Celine Dion is so Celine now there is none more Celine than she. And also, to make sure the algorithms work; Corey Morrissette. How do we know what NASA isn't telling us huh??? We don't! There's a discussion about space battles and whether we sould tax MTG. Oh, and we also talk about the hard rocking album closer from A Kind of Magic, which is kinda the whole point of the show, isn't it!If Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it "Born to be Kings", or possibly "Half a mic stand against the world!"Today's episode covers another track from 1986's "A Kind of Magic", "Princes of the Universe".Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering; when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... until now. This week we're covering a song that Kev has a strong emotional connection to and Randy hasn't heard before!!! How is that possible? Well, he's Canadian, that's how! And in the early 80s, North America decided that, for some reason, Queen wasn't cool! Well, to North America, we say, "Go fuck yourself". Possibly with an Oh Henry!If I were to title this episode, I’d probably call it “Verge of tears” or possibly, “Kev needs to get a grip! But not of a coffee crisp!”Today's episode covers "Who Wants To Live Forever" from 1986's "A Kind of Magic".Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!
