[@PobbieRoops]

Bloody good stuff 👏👏👏👏👏👏😍

[@ElGatoCiego]

Mmm, I've been the last 25 years of my life loving, and hearing Queen, almost every day. I'd never heard a cover so accurate as this, and skilled also. Queen II it's just bruthal, the hole black side it's like a six pieces ópera written by Freddie, breathtaking to me. Congratulations dude, you nailed it.

[@Toehider]

Carlos Alvira ahh thanks a lot! :D

[@henryjackson2357]

Carlos Alvira The White Side is brilliant as well

[@danielg1999060]

"Queen II" is my favourite Queen album. Although I find the guitars and drums sounding like heavy metal, this is a brilliant cover of an unusually complex piece. The vocals are astounding!

[@alexbl80]

Queen II is absolute heavy metal, Daniel...

[@DanThomasUK]

That is the absolute gold standard for Queen covers right there.

[@johnni37]

Holy shit Mike!!!!! You are unbelievable. One of my favorite Queen songs (along with March of the Black Queen). You nailed this. Your vocals are outrageous!!!!! Glad I got turned on to you from Arjen!

[@armengugasian6445]

Been a Fan of Queen for 42 Years. The 1st time I heard FFMS, Instantly became my favorite. It Still is My favorite. Dude, You Covered it well! I really enjoyed watching.

[@StevelaFrench]

Damn dude, you have some serious skilz! Been a fan of this song since Queen II was released, I played the album until the vinyl turned white!

[@fruitchewx127]

so apparently I've already watched this because Queen 2 is my favourite Queen album, but now I've found it again by checking out my favourite recurring Ayreon guest. Weird. Amazing cover.

[@bornforbattle74]

😁

[@findJLF]

Saw you at ProgFest 2019, purchased your albums, read the liner notes... not at all surprised to see your cover on KZbin. Bravo. Killer vox in particular.

[@cha02psc]

Good god this is simply amazing! This is a bloody hard song to cover - you've carried it off expertly (and you make it look easy!) Absolutely gobsmacked!

[@FogerRox]

Top flight vocals. Excellent pitch and your sense of time is like a metronome. All key components in delivering the vocals like Freddy did.

[@Toehider]

Roger Fox thanks Roger. Listen to Toehider, it's also good.

[@HrvojeCrvelin]

Hats down! Great song from great album and now revived by great cover.

[@queenrock4622]

great work.. my fav Queen Album.. I have long said that someone should do an up to date tribute.. well done.

[@The1queencollector]

You my friend put all those other cover songs to shame, you fully understood what the song was about and it came across, weather you like the song or not it is a masterpiece in music writing and you carried it off perfectly, now do Gimme the prize or something really heavy.

[@MyClem48]

Lucky you: a nice recommend by Mr Brian on Twitter...no dreams left I suppose. Well done. Is there any more to come ( White Queen?)

[@JohnnyLaps]

First love.... the bass? really fun ..thanks

[@GeekyMovies]

Superbly done Mike. Queen II is my favourite album ever, and you've rendered all of the wonderful subtleties in that song perfectly. Great job - especially the guitar orchestrations, overlapping vocal parts!

[@AH-be6bu]

Congratulations, you have secured the approval of the great Dr. May himself. Phenomenal cover by the way.

[@steve....2864]

I don't think I've heard a better Queen cover. You smashed it from start to finish mate!

[@christophergazeent2121]

This is awesome! Fantastic job! Queen II is probably my favorite pop record and you have done it justice.

[@spamnegg.1798]

My God that was just amazing! love the humour and the performance. Love to see you guys live. Wonderful!

[@twg93]

Have to say I was a bit dubious at first but quickly won over by the sheer quality here.First class.

[@23TheHitcher]

Awesome cover, Awesome take on the orignial

[@dariomarchesi4218]

a man walked on the moon , and now a man covered this incredible song! both were impossible challenges! congratulations!

[@nomenneskio9677]

I never thought I'd hear a cover of this song so perfect. Thank you! This is incredibly well done! Great musician. I'm not surprised that Brian thinks it's cool :) You nailed it in perfection!!!

[@kilinor]

Brilliant work! I'd love to hear you take on that whole side of Queen II as well! Good as Heck!

[@contrastej]

I just imagine all the hours spended in recording...and then the time it took you to edit the clips together...my respects!!!

[@yanikem6655]

Just seen your video - this is fantastic! Love all the work that’s been put in, you’re a talented musician!

[@Marionettetc]

you're a legend Michael. recently heard of you through Ayreon, new fan gained! Freddy would be proud :) You, without a doubt create the same magic Queen did!

[@nykterion7]

I mean.. getting the balls to even think to cover that song. Respect dude! Your delivery of that masterpiece gets my full respect!

[@ritmopachanguero]

This is awesome. Queen has been my favorite band since I was 9 or 10 years old, now 55 and to listen to a cover good as this one is just fricking AWESOME.

[@itoaraziofficial5048]

You. Absolutely. DESTROYED. This!!! I am truly in awe.

[@NadavMerom]

Wow, I've been waiting for some time for someone to upload a cover for this song ! You've done an amazing job mate !

[@anneleis_1234]

OMG this is one of the best covers that I've seen in my life! It's amazing how you did all the sounds by yourself. And the song is from Queen II, one of the best albumns in the history! (For me). Congratulations!

[@evandigga]

I love Queen II, phenomenal album. Phenominal cover too! I don't think anyone could do it better!

[@evandigga]

Although I really hoped for Nevermore to follow. The end sounds weird to me without the transition.

[@evandigga]

And I hate stacking comment on comment, but the vibrato at 1:52. I can't stop listening to it

[@jeffbowling8891]

Early queen was so so good , so underrated to the more pop stuff that I know they were asked to do by labels/managers , but for me this early stuff from Queen 1 and 2 is impeccable and beyond original. I am not sure we would have many forms or rock, ballads, power metal, operatic or symphonic styles of rock or metal without this early stuff. Just imagine this in its timeframe. true genius and amazing!!! Thank you Queen. We are all so blessed in so many ways in so many musical styles.

[@Panurgent]

Those high notes-- dead on & sweet as can be. Chills.

[@SuperMarioJamesSMJ]

the harmony swells on the solo are so good...all the right nuances are on the spot...you really understand the break down of the arrangement...and even show the instrument playing the nuance...the climbing bass run on the final of his ladies friends possibly the best underscore of the song

[@JojoChampion]

Fantastic cover of this complex track. Well done, you!

[@hamishgavin5890]

Saw it on Brian's blog. Fucking cool man

[@kowsky1]

Dude, you're amazing! QUEEN FOREVER

[@nahux]

Holy crap how I didn't see this before, this is amazing!!! So well done and professional, congrats!

[@CordeZeeuw]

Absolutely killing it. Wonderful

[@jeffcampbell668]

absolutely wonderful!!! i have done some queen vocal experiments at home and what i like about this is the lead vocal actually stretches up to nail those huge falsetto notes freddie sings on the studio version. there's a lot of freddie wannabes out there and they are all kind of good but they seem to be afraid to actually try to make it right at the most important times in the song. this guy in the video went for it and it's alright.

[@jca111]

Dr Brian approves. Result!

[@billbillbillbill9457]

Ahhhhhh.... spectacular! I've been a huge Queen fan since childhood, and this is one of my favorite songs in their vast catalog. You not only played this with precision and skill, but you added your own vocal flair, all the while paying the utmost respect to the music itself. Bravo, lad!

[@ianvaughan9028]

You Sir, are a genius! This is the best Queen cover I've ever heard.

[@BarleyC]

Excellent!!! One of my favorite vintage Queen songs!

[@jasonwhite7452]

OK top that all you cover bands watching in awe!

[@Eduranzoni]

MAN!! NO WORDS!!! Your amazing!

[@neilblackwell7826]

one of the best covers. Genius!

[@antonioghelardi2352]

Increíble versión de este clásico de QUEEN de la época gloriosa y pomposa en sus melodías épicas!

[@koreantroll7463]

Totally accurate studio version cover. EXCELLENT

[@evabreckon9386]

Love your music, amazing, interesting and clever. Just found you yesterday and am very impressed. As a fellow musician and composer I love all good music regardless of genre. Well done, E. Breckon

[@robertsabotici8397]

Everybody should share this... It's a piece of art - cover. Congratulations!

[@RobbyBloodshed]

I've obsessing over this cover, great job!

[@rottenjohnny4660]

MIND.BLOWN. Dude, I've been listening to this album for almost 40 years now and I know it inside and out. You nailed it! What gear do you use? Instruments, effects and recording equipment please.

[@lasagnastuffer2013]

@@EzaVinylAddict I second this

[@samaj2001]

This is utter class. Utter, utter class.

[@goodbyepolarbears172]

Absolutely tremendous. I loved the early Queen stuff. Mad and intricate and astonishing. Thank you for your take on it.

[@owatagusiam5830]

Brilliant! One of the best things on KZbin.

[@giles7662]

The 'black side' of Queen 2, is thoroughly outstanding! This is a great cover...well done!

[@merqury5]

I am considering catching Mr.Mills and keeping him in my basement and only giving him food when playing Toehider, Queen or Ayreon for me. Seriously, this guy is way past talent, he is our time's Freddie Vai Zappa. But most importantly he makes his own unique music that is a continuation of everything great rock music has ever been. I am so humbled!

[@Toehider]

What kind of food?

[@merqury5]

Toehider It'd have to be an assortment of Cristal Champagne and koala peelings. No but if you ever came to Norway I'd carry you through the streets. We have quite a few festivals and Slottsfjellfestivalen would be ideal ( Since I live there and I have 3 spare bedrooms (in the cellar...)). Cheers d blix from twitter

[@merqury5]

Toehider Just a reminder, any day now. I just have to get up. Then I should probably run to the shops and do some home remodelling before I pick the kids up. Oh yeah and I forgot that the garage neads tidying up. Then thats that weeken and work is crazy right now so I might not be able to take the time off. Naybe during a holiday but if I continue like this Ill get divorced and Ill have to have the kids during holidays....Ill get back to u. Got to sit down again.

[@marlajacquinot8971]

Great Job! That is one of my favorite Queen songs.

I totally agree with Dr. May !! Great cover !!

[@TarSpartan]

Brilliant! I'd love to hear you do the whole album, especially "White Queen."

[@seantol1404]

This cover is a real piece of art and I think every Queen fan should hear it.

[@ShanesQueenSite]

Excellent - fab cover of a fab song. Plus - this is one of the harder Queen songs to cover well. So congrats on this !!!

[@DukeEnlil]

Greatest cover from the favorite album!!! Thanks!!! Good job!!!Chills down my spine)) What sound for Brian guitar did you use? Good luck to you Sir!!!

[@muminkiatack]

That is the best Queen cover I have ever heard. And its from my favorite Queen album. Just love it !!

[@frankbarry975]

absolutely brilliant cover from my favourite queen album freddie would be proud 👑🎹🎼🎸☺👍

Wow. That was incredible. All the nuances captured perfectly. :)

[@gayfatty9810]

awesome! one of my all time fav songs..Yes..I agree..Freddie was a complete badass w/black fingernails and long hair..my favorite look of his.

[@manuam98]

This is the only Queen cover ever that tops the original

[@panchexcoco8852]

Que genial!! Tendrias que hacer cover de todo el album completo. Ya estoy escuchando Toehider todo el dia. Te conoci por Ayreon y es fantástico tu talento con la música. Saludos desde Argentina!!!

[@paulgibson5592]

[@christianade42]

Best Queen-Cover I've ever heard. Awesome!!!

[@yosh9433]

Amo esta canción de Queen!!! Que malo que no sea tan famosa por lo raro (única y especial) que es...

[@adrianfranco2006]

Increible!, de lo mejor que vi en muchos años. FELICITACIONES DESDE ARGENTINA

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

Too good you batch! I'm mean you got the feeling in my soul about these songs that Queen once wrote.

[@eugeniopeyrano1247]

best cover i heard of a really very hard song of queen

[@rohanr.9714]

Great job on those high notes!

[@MrCheenop]

Comment of the day lol

[@billbillbillbill9457]

And choreography... we would all like to learn the Mambo and The Hustle. OH! Do you have a good marinara sauce recipe?

[@johnanderson2112]

Brilliant. I didn't think it was possible for anyone to cover this song. Excellent job!

[@alan56q]

Thats just excellent...WOW

[@davidconnelly]

I hope people can appreciate, you just nailed the most technically difficult song from the most technically gifted band. That was outstanding. Well done!

[@TheEdwardNigma]

That was good! That was very good indeed! Didn't expect such a good cover!

[@Toehider]

Edward Nigma thanks heaps!

[@pepsrunhell3399]

Wooooow, this is my best Queen song and I approve you work, i's simply awesome

[@Chadner]

Dude! This is one of the best covers I have ever seen on KZbin! You have an amazing talent and I loved the energy and fun you seemed to be having while making this. Queen II is my favorite album of theirs and somehow you made it sound so fresh, like I heard it for the first time! Can't get enough of this video, seen it like 20 times hahaha. I check your channel but couldn't find other well produced covers like this one, was this a one time thing?

[@Toehider]

Check out my song "Toe Hider", very much that Queen II vibe
