I agree. Meat makes the songs his own, and for me no-one can bring as much to them. The covers all lack an essential passion and truth that Meat uniquely brings, and however anyone might try to bring something new to the song, it will be lost on me because of those vital lacking ingredients. Queen were never able to replace Freddie for me; there was something missing that was irreplaceable. This is why I'd never go to a tribute show, not one to Meat or anyone else. Like a copy designer perfume, there's something missing imo.
To be honest, if BOOH The Musical ever got off the ground, I don't think I'd want to see it.
