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 latest of QUEEN’s thematic series compilations made in association with UMG Recordings – ”QUEEN – ACOUSTIC” – grouping songs in the same musical style from the band’s 3-decade career catalog.“We were looking at all the songs we had, and we just thought the one thing we didn’t have was one of those little acoustic things… I just said, ‘Brian, why don’t we just think of something right here?’, and that song just evolved in about two days, he just got on acoustic, and I just sat next to him, we just worked it together.” Freddie Mercury on ‘Is This The World We Created?’QUEEN always has been an ‘electric band’, except for Freddie’s piano, however they wrote and recorded some really good acoustic-based songs. This new volume “ACOUSTIC” compile the best of them. As said, these are ”acoustic based”, but bass is always electric, with occasional May electric guitar thru amps too.Of course present here is the underrated little gem ‘The Night Comes Down’ from QUEEN’s first album, in its excellent remix version. A song rarely mentioned as favorite – so it’s great to have it here to re-discover this pearl. “39” is great one from the good old times, and also appear here a favorite of mine, ‘Some Day One Day’, deep-cut from the glorious Queen II.Another song you need to re-experience is “Leaving Home Ain’t Easy”, a folk-rock tune written by Brian May, who also performed all lead and backing vocals on the track, released in 1978 on their album Jazz. The song’s production features May’s distinctive guitar work including a mellow “string” tone and sped-up vocal effects in the bridge, to create its unique atmosphere. Simple and incredible song. This man is so talented that it hurts.
