The song telling that story, you could only hear it.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
And we weren't sitting that far from the sound guy.
Speaker 2 (02:32):

Speaker 5 (03:54):
I don't normally do tribute bands unless they're really good.
And if you're seeing a tribute band at q PAK,
you would think sorry, at the Brisbane Convention Center, you
would think that they would have to be good. It
was a.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Queen tribute band, not by Himian Rastody because they're brilliant.
There were four singers, three guys and a girl from
West to West End in London and a band and
it was shocking. My cousin and I f we walked out.
It came to interval and I'm thinking about it here.
(04:26):
In fact, what should have given us the big hints
was when we first bought the tickets. It was meant
to be in the Great Hall, you know, the huge,
the big room, and it got changed to one of
their auditoriums because they obviously hadn't sold as many tickets
as they thought, so we were literally in an auditorium.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So you guys do it well.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
And I'm a massive Queen fan, and they were singing
songs that I didn't even recognize. They played a few
of their songs that everybody knew, of course, but I
saw other people's faces like what is this? Who is this?
What is this? And I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have
been the only two that walked out. Yeah right, that's
(05:17):
the thing that was our way out. It's ginter bowl.
Well yeah, we're just going to keep on walking.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
And there's nothing those How can they be playing songs
that people don't know from Queen? What have they got
unreleased hits that no one knows, and the trivia band's
going to.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I walked out on the Line show Marning. I was
expecting a book chat.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
