      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 CZcams 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.

    Playing this on a crispy clean Telecaster instead of the mighty Brian sound works marvelously well. Cool cover!

    This is an incredibly difficult song to pull off with just 2 guitars and 2 vocals, well done ladies!

    Wow, I wouldn't have thought it possible for this song to sound so good outside of a studio. Excellent job!

    One of the best performances i've ever seen here on Reina's channel! Incredible arrangement for two guitars! Toni rocked and Reina sang wonderfully!
