It was almost like the real thing. The music of Queen, revived in the recent biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody,” was performed live, note for note, by a Pinoy band named Ice Bucket at the grand reopening of Hard Rock Café, now at S Maison, Conrad Manila.
Ice Bucket’s members, said music promoter Wing Inductivo, looked like the typical OFW band in leather jacket-jeans-boots outfit, and played like Queen on record.
Though Lemuel Llanes, one of the band’s two vocalists, looked like a cross between Axl Rose and John Lennon, he sang in a pitch that matched Freddie Mercury’s.
A few songs later, the other lead singer, Emman Bunao, went onstage and took the Mercury impression to the hilt—dressed like Freddie at Live Aid complete with studded armband, but a cutoff T-shirt instead of the body-fit tanktop.
