Bio:
Queen are a British rock band formed in London in 1970, originally consisting of Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), John Deacon (bass guitar), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals). Queen's earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works, incorporating further diverse styles into their music.Before joining Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor had been playing together in a band named Smile with bassist Tim Staffell. Freddie Mercury (then known by his birth name of Farrokh "Freddie" Bulsara) was a fan of Smile, and encouraged them to experiment with more elaborate stage and recording techniques after Staffell's departure in 1970. Mercury himself joined the band shortly thereafter, changed the name of the band to "Queen", and adopted his familiar stage name. John Deacon was recruited prior to recording their eponymous debut album in 1973. Queen enjoyed success in the UK with their debut and its follow-up, Queen II in 1974, but it was the release of Sheer Heart Attack later in 1974 and A Night at the Opera in 1975 that gained the band international success. The latter featured "Bohemian Rhapsody", which stayed at number one in the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks; it charted at number one in several other territories, and gave the band their first top ten hit on the US Billboard Hot 100. Their 1977 album, News of the World, contained two of rock's most recognisable anthems, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions".By the early 1980s, Queen were one of the biggest stadium rock bands in the world, with "Another One Bites the Dust" their best selling single, and their performance at 1985's Live Aid is regarded as one of the greatest in rock history. In 1991, Mercury died of bronchopneumonia, a complication of AIDS, and Deacon retired in 1997. Since then, May and Taylor have occasionally performed together, including a collaboration with Free and Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers under the name Queen + Paul Rodgers which ended in May 2009. Since 2011, May and Taylor have collaborated with vocalist Adam Lambert under the name of Queen + Adam Lambert. In late 2014, Queen will release a new album, Queen Forever, featuring vocals from the late Freddie Mercury.The band have released a total of 18 number one albums, 18 number one singles, and 10 number one DVDs. Estimates of their record sales generally range from 150 million to 300 million records, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists. They received the Outstanding Contribution to British Music Award from the British Phonographic Industry in 1990, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
Album:
Especially compiled and overseen by Brian May & Roger Taylor, here’s the new QUEEN album of thematic series compilations made in association with UMG Recordings – ”QUEEN – ROCK N’ ROLL” – grouping songs in the same musical style from the band’s 3-decade career catalog.Versatile like a few, QUEEN also wrote some strong rock n’ roll numbers, especially by the hand of May & Taylor. Let’s not forget that QUEEN began as a hard rock band with riff-driven songs aplenty on their first two LP’s. Of course, from the very first, ‘Seven Seas Of Rhye’ is present into this new volume.We always loved ‘Rock It (Prime Jive)’, a deep cut from 1980’s The Game, a rocking song with some crazy synth. On the protest song ‘Put Out The Fire’ we’ve got a sturdy chugging riff. A pretty raucous solo. And Freddie gives the words a fair amount more creditibily.Then 1977’s ‘Sleeping on the Sidewalk’ rocks. This is rare thing as this song was recorded live into the studio (vocals were added later), because Queen musicians are perfectionists and always did a lot of post-production. This song is just pure rock n’ roll.
