    Pfft. They should have used a Commodore 64. Those things knew how to rock.

    I thought the oscilloscope shredded pretty hard, but the flatbed really failed to impress. Vocal and time signature lessons could be of use.


    3 stars.

    I loved this! I sang along the whole video. Unlike most of the people here, I was alive when this type of equipment was cutting edge technology and when Queen put this revolutionary music out. The first time I heard this song, my ears almost popped out. It was unlike anything that had been done to that point and changed music forever.
    10 on the 10 scale.

    Thank you Jack. That is one of the best things I have ever seen on the internet.

    I thought that was complete and utter shit that a 6 year old put together. If you're going to be a complete loser and take the time to put something like that together, then do it right. That was worse than the spice girls doing a cover of the same song.

    @piano08man: I'd like to see you do any better. I was thoroughly impressed. No, it wasn't perfect, but I haven't seen anybody even attempt to do any better.

    People have way too much time in their hands. Imagine if the people behind the internet did something productive instead...

    You mean not frittering away your time, say, commenting on a gadget blog?

    100% artificial Queen, artfully mimicking the real thing. Could just as accurately be describing residents of my San Francisco neighborhood.

    I have a whole bunch of CDs I got when I was doing tech support for Toshiba... glue some felt on the back of those and you've got the most interesting coaster set around. Love those gold colored pre-release copies of Win95.

    For $28 you can get like 6 cases of actual floppies which make equally functional coasters. Actually... I kinda wanna do that now.

    @Hiphopopotamus: The slider tends to rust. I wonder if you have to put drink 1 back in at the end to complete alcoholism.
