I'm not to keen on it. What is on the gravestone and what are the poodles about?

As far as I know, the gravestone has something to do with Freddie Mercury on it.

And the poodles will no doubt be references to Brian May / Anita Dobson......

I rather like Roger Taylors quote on it:

"Very brave. Thanks for the money"

I too think it's a bit of both, an affectionate sort of mickey-take.

The gravestone has Mercury's real name on it.
I like the teeth!

Electric 6 are big Queen fans, apparently often doing a couple of tracks at thier concerts.

Farouq Bulsara (sp) is written on the headstone, Freddies real name. No idea what the poodles are about.

I absolutely loved Electric 6s last album and I've got a bit of their Wild Bunch incarnation as well. Can't make my mind up about this cover of Radio GaGa tho.
