This is a very important question. Is there anyone else in the country who is a fan of Electric Six? Their latest album 'Kill' is out soon and I've preordered it. Laughing Anyone?

not a massive fan - they had a couple of great novelty records to start with but then came the radio ga ga video where they danced on freddie mercury's grave - not clever

Its a shame the media twisted the video to their own hate campaign against Electric Six so much, because its a much better version of the song than Queens. And the video is nothing as bad as most people say it is, infact Electric Six are huge fans of Queen and have met Brian May etc. without any trouble.

I have seen them live twice, met the band and have got tickets to go see them again. They deserve to be so much more famous but they will be forever associated with Gay Bar and to a lesser extent High Voltage now for the rest of the bands life span ;/

Good on you duncan!

I agree, their version of Radio Gaga was far better than the original. It's a shame they lost so much appeal when they changed direction on their second album, but it was a change for the better. Their music still follows the few basic themes - war, explosions, dancing and love - but they pull it off with real pinache. And without the need to turn themselves into the joke band their record company wanted them to become.

I have just watched their Radio GaGa on YouTube. It is hilarious. It is so funny.The band are clearly showing their respect for Freddy and not trying to insult him. Of course its going to shock and even offend lots of people, just like their other videos.
I never really go into any of their stuff but the bits I have seen are always amusing and never boring.
