Normally I'm not into posting covers. I think there's so much great original music out there that we should focus on. Don't get me wrong. Playing a cover ain't easy at all but I love to see musicians adding something of their own to the cosmos of music. And a massive number of you guys out there does this indeed very well.

As of today this is a exception. The band The Lonely Ones created a cover of Queen's well known "Flash" in a way that is hard to beat. They must have taken massive efforts to get it all together.
While the core of the track is left untouched and the soul of the track shines through it's carefully opened up to a powerfull level. At the same time some fine and harder to hear fine moments have also been put inside. Just follow the video carefully and you'll see and hear it.
Even Brian May (Queen) and Sam J Jones (Flash Gordon, The Highwayman) took note of the cover.
Brian May was quoted as saying, “What a fantastic cover ! I didn’t realise they were going to go into The Hero and the whole reprise ... magnificent !"
Sam J Jones adds, "This is one of the best covers I have ever heard and seen. What a gifted group - The Lonely Ones are for everyone of us, from the 1980’s to right now!"
