I actually thought it wasn't that bad, but I guess we can agree to disagree.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't think Robbie Williams
is that bad. Yes he's a pop singer, but the lyrics aren't always
your typical happy pop-type lyrics (and I think he has a hand in
writing his songs, unlike many other singers around today). He
knows how to work a crowd, and his voice is the type that could sing
more than one type of music. While he's no Freddie, I don't think
he would be that bad a replacement, and people would probably be
surprised by the results if they could get over their dislike of the
notion.

He's quite a showman and knows how to work a crowd. I watched some of a
concert of his on TV recently and although a lot of the material is not
my thing, he is a good performer. Whilst he's not like Freddie (who
could ever be), I imagine he'd probably make a fair stab at fronting
them.
Oh, my vote's for Brian May.

I consider that the main quality of a guitarist should be the "feeling" and to a less extent, in order : originality, technic and speed. I voted therefore for the guitar master Brian May, who belongs to the "feeling" guitarist league : Gilmour, Blackmore, Howe, Satriani, Vai, Iommi, etc.

Since decimalisation (sp?), that sixpence is now worth a lot more than a plectrum. In fact, he's probably got the most expensive guitar pick on the planet.

It was a joke 
Anyway, sixpence pre-decimalisation is equal to 2 and a half pence (I think...).
On the other hand, I suppose that Brian May's sixpence is going to be worth a fortune to a Queen fan

Got to be Brian May for me- whilst I wouldn't doubt that Petrucci is immensely talented player, I couldn't remember any of his solos after hearing their albums a few times. Brian May, however, plays clever solos that are economical and hummable, just like the best (in my opinion) solos should be.
In Petrucci's case, I'd describe his playing as 'musical wallpaper'- it serves its purpose and is very presentable, yet is really just there for show purposes...

I know it was a joke.
And sixpence might be equivalent to 2 and a half pence, but I would
think that sixpence coins are now worth a lot more as collector's items
- which was the point I was trying to make.
