"Guitar World's 'Battle of the Greatest Live Bands': The Final Showdown — AC/DC Vs. Queen"

Excerpts from the article about the contest:

 "We don't know about you, but around here, September brings to mind tours and massive live shows — probably because it's the only month where summer and fall, the two biggest rock touring seasons, collide." 

 "So, as our thoughts turn to the gigs we've reported on, witnessed and celebrated this year, we thought we'd get our readers — as in, you guys! — involved as we attempt to pinpoint rock's greatest live band or artist..." 

 "Although we (obviously) had thousands of artists and/or bands to choose from, we decided to narrow things down to a mere 32 names, which is perfect for a month's worth of intense — and fun (it's supposed to be fun, people!) matchups. All the artists were carefully selected by Guitar World's entire editorial staff." 

 "Most importantly, note that this poll involves ONLY still-existing bands, so you won't get to watch the Doors duke it out with Led Zeppelin! Pantera will not go head to head with Cream. The Jimi Hendrix Experience will not compete with ... you get the idea." 

 "Voting Closed — We Have a Winner! QUEEN (54.81 percent) have defeated AC/DC (45.19 perfect). Thanks for voting!"

How about that? Adam boosted Queen back where they belong. Happy dancing....\o/. \o/. \o/.

A huge honor, and boy, did they deserve it. Queen is great, but I don't think they would have got this honor without Adam. He is indeed the jewel in their crown.

Not to rain on anyone's parade... and defonitely not to take anything away from Queen winning the poll... I love Queen+Adam and Brian May is one of my all time loves... So I'm sorry to bring this up, but this might have slowed down the voters/fans of AC/DC... Malcolm Angus, the AC/DC guitarist will no longer play with the band due to illness (suffers from dementia, the term used in the headlines).

I am so sorry to hear that. That's a condition that causes suffering for the whole family.
