    Whoever said, “Necessity is the mother of invention,” undoubtedly had a future worldwide pandemic in mind. We musicians have evolved into hypersocial beings who rely, nay, depend, on close proximity to accomplish our goal of making that sweet, sweet, harmonious sound. These extraordinary times call for an extra helping of creativity to achieve that goal, and unlike the days of the Spanish flu, I’m grateful that today’s technology affords us possibilities of approximating that irreplaceable feeling of “being there.” And while you can’t catch us live just yet, hopefully this will serve to reignite that craving for what the world is missing while we figure this ish out.
    It was our guitarist, Tristan Avakian, who first suggested we do an at-home version of “Under Pressure.” I loved the idea immediately, and I’ll tell you why. As you probably know, I’ve been making these “One-Take” videos for quite some time now, and while “Under Pressure” is one of my favorite Queen songs, I’ve never attempted it on my own because of how it relies so heavily on the bass line. I’ve tried to come up with a solo arrangement on the piano and guitar a few times, but always fell dreadfully short of the magic that Queen and Bowie captured in their arrangement. Without that key counter-melodic, counter-rhythmic bass line, the whole thing falls apart, and I wasn’t interested in re-inventing the song into some kind of emo ballad. I’ll leave that to someone else - someone younger, maybe in the indie or electric pop world, and who pronounces ‘u’ like normal English speakers pronounce ‘i.’ (Sorry. Had to get that off my chest).
    In this video, we have stayed true to the “One-Take” formula; everyone playing their part all the way through, without video edits, just like we do at our live shows (even down to the hand claps, which Brandon sneakily plays on his keyboard). I compiled the whole thing, mixing audio, and painstakingly figuring out how everyone has been making those Brady Bunch-style videos.
    We had a blast making this! I was so impressed at how quickly it came together that we may just have to do this again soon. Of course, we’re not reinventing the wheel here, as many have gone before us and done something similar. But I hope you enjoy this first foray into the land of at-home band performances by One Vision of Queen.
    No, it’s not live… but close enough… at least for now.

We don't respect it. We don't care.
      The only thing that matters to fans of original Queen, is the guy who sounds the most like their original lead singer. It's really that simple, if you don't like that, then piss off, because there are 1000s more comments on every Marc related videos, and you won't do anything to deter that.

I know all of you on here want MM to front Queen, I'm afraid that will never happen, Brian and Roger made their choice over 8/9 years ago he is Queen's last frontman and will be there until Brian and Roger decide to retire. All Queen fans are not the same, this is now 2020 and things have changed, Brian and Roger have changed and because they now have Adam they are able to do what they love and that is rocking around the world. Adam is keeping Queen's legacy alive and bringing their music to new generations. If you don't like the fact that AL is there that's your choice but it will never change.

I have watched countless videos of you together as a group and him alone and I have run the true gamut of emotions...smiled, laughed, cried, sighed, sang along, stared in wide eyed amazement and shaken my head in utter disbelief (in a good way)...it makes me feel a somewhat bittersweet sense of nostalgia but also a sense of knowing that these songs and this type of talent and the execution of it will hopefully never be lost.

      Lunatik Marc's vocals are just too light for 80's Freddie. By '82, Freddie wasn't even singing Love of My Life in the original key anymore. Nor could he emulate the head voice he had in the 70's.
      There's a reason why all the Freddie impressionists copy 80's Freddie's live vocals. It was much easier. Marc's the only one I've listened to that can come close to Freddie's 70's vocals.

      MIFNP yeah Jeannette is insane. She rants all day long on Marc’s videos, making up accusations, calling him names, it would be amusing if it weren’t so pathetic.

    I know that, having watched Marc do some covers, HE sounded like Freddie but having Tristan sound SO Bowie? Insane.
