They received a services to rock award in 2013 from Kerrang magazine, but somehow I doubt that that would immortalise them.

 

Not that I would expect anyone here to read Kerrang!!

I'm a huge, huge, Queen fan and I didn't know about this "immortalisation" - I use that word loosely - but NZ has the right idea even if he is way off with the specifics. Specifics, specify... I keep using those terms...

 

Greetings from Regis rhenii II which we have just boarded in Budapest... Just dropping in.. A friend of used to play with Queen and was officially a band member for a while.. Jason Falloon.. He is credited too on one of their albums... He still plays and spends time ever year with friends in Collonges la Rouge.. Like so many from that era he is now a teatotaller and his music is a little softer...

Was any of their music put in a time capsule?

 

Nothing to do with their music, though I suspect the person who "immortalised" them is very much a fan.

NZ has the right idea, but terrestrial and not mineral....

 

Not mineral, so maybe vegetable or animal?

Also a huge Queen fan, but this has passed me by.

 

Is it to do with Angry Birds?

 

Not birds, no. Certainly not "Angry Birds" But you're heading in the right direction...

 

I missed this too, but the honour was from South America...

 

More clueses time...

The Fairy Fellas Master Stroke mentions a larger cousin of these fascinating and lovely to look at adult creatures. Common in the UK, but not these four...

 

You might have to Wiki the answer.... even that takes a bit of investigating...

 

Anyone? Not birds, but they fly...

 

They all had bats named after them ?

 

nope... not birds, not mammals...
Beautiful creatures, most often found around rivers, streams, ponds and lakes... common all over the world, ancient creatures, haven't changed much in aeons.

 

There are four damsel flies named after each original member of Queen. Freddie Mercury also has a crustacean named after him.

For a bit of light amusement see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organisms_named_after_famous_people

There is a beetle that was named after Adolf Hitler in 1933.

My favourite is Daft Punk. Look it up.

 

If I have the last question correct, as I think I have, my question is:

Which footballer who very briefly played for Watford is mentioned in a Half Man Half Biscuit song? He later ran a burglar alarm business in the town of one of his previous teams.

If I didn't get the answer right ignore my question.

 

If your answer was correct, and your question stands, then the answer is Bobby Svarc. If that is the answer to the question that may or may not be the question, then my question would be:
Which club never to have played in the Premier League, has had the most former/future Hornets represent them?
If NZ’s answer was not the correct answer to the question before the last one (assuming that was a question in its own right), then ignore his answer, his question (which obviously isn’t a question because he wouldn’t have got the answer right), and my answer to his question. Then ignore my question resulting from my answer.

All clear now then. Phew.

 

If NZ was right in his answer, and your answer to his question was also right, then is the answer to yours Colchester Utd ?

 

Well done! I only happened upon this when looking for some info on John Deacon.

 

No.
