Pretty decent cover.

Just noticed the full title for the video here though. "rive performance?" Boo!

(hehe, actually, it made me laugh.

It could have been an honest mistake depending on who the poster was. Don't know about Korea, but in Japan the problem is that the "l" sound in Japanese is a cross between "r" and "l", and there is no distinction for them.

I remember trying to get my students to hear the difference between "fried lice" and "fried rice" they had a hard time.

Not saying that I think JD is Korean, but if the title came from the original YouTube post then ...

Dag, the title on YouTube is "Thrilling Bohemian Rhapsody Live" and I'm not sure about you, but the "L" and the "R" aren't close enough to each other on my keyboard to mistakenly confuse the two.

Joedirt, why not just go the whole nine and make the title "Kolean lendition of Bohemian Lapsody (rive performance)" if you're into racism? You don't usually have problems with spelling.

Apart from that, nice performance. They obviously put a lot of work into studying the song's nuances.

Well, personally I'm not offended - BUT - considering how JD has taken others to task on the racial front ... hoisted on your own petard JD.

The only quote worth remembering from any of the Lethal Weapon movies "It's 'Fried Rice' you Plick!".

Come on, you've seen my posts. You know it was on purpose. "L" and "R" are no where near each other on keyboard. (I'm not worthy enough to have any petards) Though, YouTube does have this comment "sent shibbers down my spine". I am not going so far as say that I'm making fun of an entire race.. But maybe the first few bars of this song were a little butchered. Anyways, if it's more offensive than funny, I can change it.

Damn snake, that's awesome. Honestly, "rive" was the best I could come up with. I wonder if I change the title if people will be offended for voting for this?

I seriously doubt you could find very many American bands who could do as good a job covering that song. Nice job.

The fact that the song's ingrained on your subconcious due to repeated exposure doesn't mean it's not hard to perform.

Show me another live band covering Bohemian Rhapsody from start to finish with as much accuracy and attention to detail as we saw here.

joedirt, I wasn't offended by this. I was just giving you a bit of hell about it is all. (=

Thanks for backing me up on that, Snake.

Funnier than you know.. The French used pétard, “a loud discharge of intestinal gas,”.

Fart jokes are funny.

Outside of the word butchering, the vocals are pretty darn good.

I was rolling on the floor when it got to "I see a ritter sireretto ub a man" part. After "Sundah boat an rightning, berry berry fighting" it was all over for meeeeee, for me.

But seriously, this was an amazing performance. I was especially impressed with the singer's awesome metal voice at the end. He sounds like Joey Belladonna from Anthrax, "So you think you can lub me and reeb me to die." Woah. Baby.

All pronunciation jokes aside, this is an awesome technical performance. I would pay to see these guys.

I want to vote for this, but the vote buttons are missing. I suspect it's a browser issue (curse you, IE!!!)
I'll just wait 'til I get home...
