"Fat Bottomed Girls" Geir covers Queen

[Flash Harry]

Ha ha! Fantastic.

Nearly put my speaker cones out when the track started.

This fits you very well indeed. Absolute class and quality. I actually prefer it to the Queen version. There's a nice dirty edge to this that fits the vibe of the song much better. Totally nailed, I'd say! And I love the compressed solo part - incredible playing!

Works for me.  Lovely vocals, huge power.

Fine work Geir.......Fat Bottomed Girls always get cranked up when I hear it on the radio and I did the same here. You rocked it nicely!

 I was waiting for someone to dare cover Queen. You did it your own. Congratulations!

[Gnasty]

Wow! Not an easy one to pull of. Those opening harmonies are outrageously amazing!! Guitar solo is perfect.

Awesome song choice my friend!!

[Burtog]

Nice, the backing vocals sound you got Axel Rose in to do them,..........uncanny!!

[Geir]

Thanx fofr the kind comments guys !!!

I was just looking at the Wikipedia page for Fat Bottomed Girls and noticed that it was originally done in Drop D tuning. Did you use Drop D too?

I realised I had not answered this. Well, no. I had to drop it a bit further than that Some voices don't sound that high, but really are (Dio and Macca springs to mind). So I had to drop this down to A to be able to get some power at all behing the vox,  ..... and to be able to have some harmonies above 

Queen was an obvious choice for me for the 70s fest, as is a couple of others. I did not think I'd record  so many ABBA tunes tho
_{(yeah it's a bump-bait all right )}

[AndyR]

Cool!

I was reading through while listening. And I was thinking - "that ain't no Drop D, not even convinced it's in D, this is lower than that (I sing it sometimes, only ever done it in D - and harmonies would be a stretch), and that's why it sounds dirtier"...

And there we have it from the horse's mouth - A!

Excellent version, sir
