Episode description

Operatic, spectacle-heavy rockers Queen & 70s blues-rockers Bad Company are a match that goes together like cookies and Elmer's glue, yet that's exactly what remaining Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor put together in 2006, when they invited Paul Rodgers of Bad Company to front the long dormant classic rock group, (Replacing the legendary and long deceased Freddie Mercury) and go on a world tour to mixed reaction under the banner of Queen + Paul Rodgers.

Still energized from this questionable collaboration, the three engaged in an even more questionable collaboration: A new studio album. 2008's "The Cosmos Rocks" was the result, and people were not fans. But will the goodboix Lilz and Patrick be? That's what we find out on this episode of Jukebox Zeroes, which features special guest Devon Murphy of DAEVES dishing on one of the more embarrassing moments in Queen's history.
