    I'm sorry, but rock and ukulele are mutually exclusive terms.

    Maybe so but that video was still cool. Made me think of Stanley Jordan's version of Stairway with the two guitars. I liked how he did the vocal and piano lines in the early part.

    Kanye West did some sort of singalong on this track when he played Glastonbury. It was not very well received online, to put it mildly!

They also I think weren't too happy that synthesizers had become more prominent in Queen's music on Hot Space (yes, they'd used an Oberheim OB-X on The Game and Roger had been using Syndrums in his drumkit since the News Of The World tour).
    My own thing with Hot Space is not so much the direction, it's the songs are very hit-and-miss and the execution is flat. The live versions on the Milton Keynes show are excellent, full of energy and much more 'rock'. What went wrong on the album?
