Expertise
Mostly songs and instruments: who wrote what, who played what, who sang what, their vocal ranges, instruments they used (brands, models, what happened with them). I've got no idea about 'Cosmos Rocks' and haven't listened to it, so I'm not the right person to ask in that case. But for the 1970-1991 period, be my guest.
Experience
For years I've been involved in research and contributed to several Queen websites, and my name's even on a couple of books as well. I'm also a classical guitarist and (amateur) choir conductor.
