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 KZfaq 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...
