Queen comes from the meeting at a '60s rock band called Smile of guitarist Brian May (born July 19, 1947 in Hampton, Middlesex) and drummer Roger Taylor (born July 26, 1949 in Norfolk). May had previously played with bands such as 1984 or The Others. May, which would license in physics and astronomy at London's Imperial College, had met Taylor, who studied biology in college tour. The Smile singer and bassist was Tim Staffel, who had accompanied Brian in the band 1984. When Staffel decided to leave the group in early 1970 after recording a single called "Earth", May and Roger joined the group to Freddie Mercury (born September 5, 1946 in Zanzibar, Tanzania, real name Frederick Bulsara) , lead singer of a band called Wreckage and close friend of former vocalist Staffel, as both had agreed on the Ealing College of Art. The latest to join was Queen bassist John Deacon (born August 19, 1951 in Leicester), former member of the Opposition, who in February 1971 became a permanent part of the British group. A striking beauty glam and a fusion of influences, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, T. Rex, Slade, Beach Boys, David Bowie and Led Zeppelin as primary references, caught the attention of Trident Productions, with whom he signed in 1972. Its discoverers were the engineers Roy Thomas Baker and John Anthony, in charge of producing their debut album, "Queen" (1973), an underrated LP EMI published in full of hard rock and glam rock with some progressive scrap high-level compositions as the single "Keep Yourself Alive", "Great King Rat" or "The Night Comes Down." The album climbed the charts in Britain until the post 24. Previously, Mercury, under the pseudonym Larry Lurex, had recorded the track of the Beach Boys "I Can Hear Music", a song written by Phil Spector for Mercury that was produced by Robin Cable. "Queen II" (1974), also produced by Baker, the group became stars in their country, reaching number 5 in the UK. In this paper, one of the highlights of his career, returning to influence a collection of energetic rock songs, ballads with moments also well built and natural cuts more pop with great melodies and harmonies. This LP contains the single "Seven Seas Of Rhye" (number 10) and themes in his catalog as "March Of The Black Queen", "Ogre Battle" or "Funny How Love Is." His next album, "Sheer Heart Attack" (1974), including the stunning single "Killer Queen" (number 2 in England and 12 in the U.S.), a song that brought them out of anonymity in the country of Uncle Sam. His triumphs on disk (number 2 in the UK with "Sheer Heart Attack") were endorsed with spectacular live concerts, forming the popularity and commercial success of the group would remain constant until the end of his career despite the fervor decreased quite critical over time. His fame consolidocon the appearance of the great "A Night At The Opera" (1975), a vinyl (number 1 in England and number 4 in the U.S.) which contains his most famous, the extraordinary "Bohemian Rhapsody", subject to who got their first No. 1 single in the UK. "Somebody To Love" was the most famous big disc "A Day At The Races" (1976), another outstanding and underrated work again the highest in Britain, while in the United States peaked at # 5 in Billboard. In "News Of The World" (1977), an album cover by Frank Kelly Freas which reached number 4 in the UK and number 3 in the U.S., appeared anthems "We Are The Champions" and "We Will Rock You, "made immortal pieces exploding punk. Apart from these issues and always being faithful to their variation of styles, cuts and highlights the furious "Sheer Heart Attack", "Get Down, Make Love" and the ballad "All Dead, All Dead." "Jazz" (1979), with songs like the rocker "Fat Bottomed Girls", the wonderful piece pop-rock "Do not Stop Me Now", "Bycicle Race", where display their mastery of harmony and the creation of structures with fondness seductive opera, or the wonderful ballad "In Only Seven Days" or "Jealousy" was the last album (number 2 in Britain and 6 in the U.S.) produced for Queen and Roy Thomas Waker, the best the band partner Britain has had in his whole career. In the 80's, Queen move away from the glam-rock and the hard-core rock and go as accommodating more commercial sound, recording discs jurisdiction, the global significance of previous work but with songs of great social impact. One of his last great album was "The Game" (1980), album (number 1 in the UK and on Billboard), which broadened their styles, rooted in rock and pop, with cuts funk, disco and rockabilly , in songs like "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", a clear homage to rock'n'roll and doo wop of the 50 (especially the figure of Elvis Presley), which reached number 1 in the U.S. (number 2 in England), like the funky "Another One Bites The Dust", with a great job in low Deacon. Another major theme of the album, co-produced by Josh MacRae, is "Save Me", a breathtaking ballad composed by Brian May. At the beginning of the decade also saw "Flash Gordon" (1980), who wrote the soundtrack for the movie based on the famous comic strip space hero, and the single "Under Pressure", a song with David Bowie again sell so huge. "Hot Space" (1982), with the aforementioned "Under Pressure", the hit single "Body Language" and incision in the dance music and synth sounds, "The Works" (1984), with "Radio Gaga", composed by Taylor or "I Want To Break Free", written by Deacon, were records that did not contain the audacity or the compositional brilliance of his early work but offering easy and consistent themes heard in the banal radioformulas. "Hot Space", number 4 in Britain and number 22 in the United States, and "The Works", number 1 and number 23, were followed by "A Kind Of Magic" (1986), No. 1 in the UK and 26 in the U.S., and "The Miracle" (1989), No. 1 and No. 24 works very consistent but sales outstanding. With "Innuendo" (1991), the group went back a little flight and returned to leave another theme for the story, "The Show Must Go On." The album returned to the top in England, while its commercial appeal in the United States continued to decline, reaching number 30 on the Billboard. The most significant blow for the band was coming, Mercury, a known bisexual, was infected from the late 80s of AIDS, deadly disease that took him to the tomb on November 24, 1991 leaving the group almost meaningless in continuity. Subsequently happened heartfelt homages to the great singer and compiled their greatest hits in different disks. Brian May started a solo career with the LP "Back To The Light" (1993), continued by the "Live at the Brixton Academy" (1994) and "Another World" (1998). Roger Taylor, who had already begun in the 80's his own solo career with "Fun In Space" (1981) and "Strange Frontier" (1984), the continued "Happiness?" (1994) and "Electric Fire" (1998 .) Cross was also part of a project conceived in 1988 with the album "Shove it." In 1994 he published "Blue Rock" (1994), the third album by the group after "Mad: Bad: And Dangerous To Know" (1990). For his part, John Deacon remained away from the music industry. In 1995 Queen reappeared with a new studio in which posthumous songs included with the voice of Mercury titled "Made In Heaven" (1995). The album was another resounding success with its vast legion of fans. He later toured with the accompaniment of Paul Rodgers, lead singer of Free and Bad Company. |
