      Not to take away from the excellent cover by these two talented ladies, but if you want _more_ of "taking on a Queen song and making it different, while at the same time, maintaining the essence of the original..." I suggest you search for pianist Peter Bence's videos, as well as Peter Hollens's acapella covers, especially his Queen _medley_ (I know that doesn't sound like it would work, but trust me, it's amazing!). AFAIK it's just a coincidence that they're both named Peter.

    Covering a song as difficult as this must be such a challenge. These ladies had so many easier options to choose from, and they nailed it.
    I remember on Queen's earlier album sleeves in the 70's they always stated they didn't use synthesizers - ''No synths''! They seemed very proud of that. (They later did use them.) I could see where they were coming from at the time.
    You two just rocked one of their most difficult songs (in my opinion) with TWO guitars.
    I think Queen would be proud of that. Brian May is active on UA-cam I believe, I would love for him to see this.
    Congratulations, and thank you to you and all of The Other Favourites and talented friends for keeping me smiling in lock-down while looking after my dad. You probably aren't aware how much of a difference you make.

    Considering that this is a big-scale Queen song distributed over a full electric band, your version on two guitars and voices is amazing present and resonant. So yes, I do like it. Your way of singing it is less rangey than F Mercury's; but then also more original and personal for that. The chord structure of Killer Queen always sounded very on-melody, bright, and even moreso in your reading. Love how you worked your own bends plus twists into the solo--and so high up the board! What a hardworking, talented outfit you are! Makes my day to tune into your channel. Thanks moh...

      @@daviddemar8749 Yeah, very notable performance.
      RDC introduced me to this band when she collaborated with them during her last tour before the pandemic. Amazing, 5 lead vocalists.

    La limpieza del sonido, la escenografía, la calidad vocal e instrumental, a la altura de Queen.

    This was one of their best performances! Singing and the instrumentation. The guitars are so tight, Reina’s playing complements Toni’s amazing lead and melody. That Strat (?) sounds heavenly. Lead vocals, and vocal harmonies are beautiful and the recording is so crisp! Just wow!

      A great performance I agree. Toni is playing her Fiesta Red Fender Telecaster.
