This week the Recovering Queen gang go full throttle with Brian May’s lightning-fast rocker “Dead on Time” from Queen's album Jazz. Matt dusts off his guitars to deliver a frantic cover version, roping in Ian to risk life and larynx on vocals, and the mighty Arthur Russell to batter the drums into submission. Together, they attempt to keep up with Brian’s warp-speed riffing and Roger’s caffeine overdose drumming. We also chat about thunderbolts, Queen’s proto-thrash credentials, and why this track never made it into the live set Strap in, this one leaves the station whether you’ve got a ticket or not.
