A Tribute To Queen

Fans of the name guitarists will appreciate this album for the assemblage. Present are Robby Krieger (The Doors), Jake E. Lee, Yngwie Malmsteen and much more. The stand-out track is Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead), Ted Nugent and Rudy Sarzo (Whitesnake) on "Tie Your Mother Down."

While there is not one take of "Bohemian Rhapsody", the star personnel is there. Among the bassists is Ricky Phillips (The Babys) and Tony Franklin (The Firm, Blue Murder). Vocal duties by Robin McAuley (Michael Schenker Group), Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt), Glenn Hughes (Black Sabbath), James LaBrie (Dream Theater), and others. Showing up on drums is Carmen Appice (Vanilla Fudge, Beck, Ozzy, Rod Stewart), Eric Singer (KISS), Tommy Aldridge (Whitesnake, Ozzy, Black Oak Arkansas). Other guitarists include John Petrucci (Dream Theater) and Bruce Kulick (KISS).

This is, of course, only some of the musicians employed. Everyone one of the eleven tracks has a different lineup. The disc closes with "It's Late," fusing Armored Saint and Anthrax members.
