Kitchen Sink - A Queen Special

[ThatWriterGuy]

Ever hear about the time Patti fell asleep on Roger Taylor's floor?
How about Robert De Niro and the infamous cashmere jacket?
From Garden Lodge to tackling the discography.
All of this and more ...
The Kitchen Sink Queen Special (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xg4Ktz4Q6Q&t=2530s).

Would have loved to have seen a Queen + Patti tour instead of Paul Rodgers. (Don't get me wrong I enjoyed Pauls interpretations of Queen songs, was enjoyable, but based on the clips I've seen from the Queen day concert, A Patti led Queen would have been amazing!)

I don't know about that, but Patti would certainly be an improvement over everyone Queen have worked with since Paul Rodgers.

Let's put it to the test.

Queen + Paul Rodgers:

Queen + Patti:

Same song. Former is professionally produced for a worldwide release, latter is low resolution as filmed and recorded on the day.

Performance, presence, vocals, timbre?

You decide.

P.S. Any questions about this brief journey into Queen's past and present?
Go right ahead :up:

In addition to wearing some fine cashmere, Bob is a swell guy. I have stories. We'll talk later, Doode. ;)

Congratulations on your latest podcast, was very interesting, and will def keep listening if you continue with this new format!

It would be great if we could hear from Patti again and is there any plan to share your experience with Jim in further detail?

Hope you are well...

My guess, based on the past locked threads and TWG's website, is:

In Patti's case, what you see on Twitter is likely what you're gonna get. She's like a bird: you can't tie her down, just hope she'll fly by now and again, and frankly, I consider TWG lucky he was able to get her to participate in the podcast as long as she did. Don't take what I just said the wrong way, she's probably coming back to it, but if she tells more of her story, I predict it'll be incidental at best, like TWG's passing mentions of her and allusions to his story in the most recent episode. From the beginning, they've made it clear that the podcast was not only about their stories, and they seem to be moving more swiftly into the latter half of it than initially intended. Their choice, their decision.

In TWG's case, you might hear more, but in a somewhat different form than the audience would like -- something that's less a straight recitation of facts and slightly more fictionalized, presumably in an attempt to avoid legal blowback. (I think that's ill-advised, it might muddy the waters if he attempts to pursue something later, but I've been told in so many words that my advice is appreciated "and will be considered," which here means ignored, and life is too short to argue with someone who very clearly knows what they want to do and has their mind firmly set on it.)

But it's only a guess, and I'm sure TWG will pop along to correct me in short order.

In the locked Patti thread, TWG said that they'd decided to leave Patti & Meat stuff where it was, and move in a new direction. I'd assume the same goes for Jim as well.

[sandmage]

As much as I, too, would like to know more about Jim's life, it is important to remember. Any friend of Jim and/or Meat would respect the privacy of their conversations. And respect their decision to keep their personal life as private as they kept it. Whatever TWG writes, it may be true, or it may be fan fiction. He clearly wants to capitalize on the idea that it might be true, though.

TWG already went so far as to release medical details about Jim that were not public knowledge if they are true.

[letsgotoofar]

In my experience, I wouldn't question TWG's story so much. The specific details of incidents involving, let's say, packages in the mail never happened to me, but everything else more or less tracks with my Jim experiences, both the ones I lived and the ones I've heard about.
