With the brim pulled way down low
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go”#Queen #JohnDeacon #BrianMay #FreddieMercury #RogerTaylor #Chic #BernardEdwards

Como Queen e David Bowie quase tretaram ao gravar ‘Under Pressure’

The Works
Released February 28, 1984 .. they quasi "come-back" album. After the experimental, dance-heavy Hot Space (1982), the album marked a return to their classic hard rock sound with 1980s synthesizers and electronics. The name originated from a comment by Roger Taylor at the start of the sessions: "Let's give 'them'em the works!" #queen #theworks #80srock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #freddiemercury #brianmay #rogertaylor #johndeacon

Queen
"A nice little medley for you":
Bohemian Rhapsody
Killer Queen
March of the Black Queen
Bohemian RhapsodyExactly fifty years and two days ago
(A Night at the Odeon, 1975-12-24).In those days Freddie Mercury still announced the name of the song.
At any time an invitation you can't decline
...
To avoid complications,
She never kept the same address.
In conversations,
She spoke just like a baroness.And Nobody Played Synthesizers!

1986 Interview With John Deacon
I love this interview with John Deacon, bass player with Queen. He comes across as a very ordinary and likeable person.
Interesting to hear his recollection of Under Pressure, that it was David Bowie pushing them to do it better.

A Day at The Races
Queen releases their companion album to A Night at The Opera on December 10, 1976 ... both a nod to The Marx Brothers. It's their first album without Roy Thomas Baker producing but they don't miss him. At all. The lead track -- in my book -- is one of the greatest guitar/song intros ever. Discuss. #Queen #adayattheraces #70rock #artrock #glamrock #hardrock #progrock #freddiemercury #brianmay #rogertaylor #johndeacon Listen to A Day At The Races by…

In hindsight, I cannot look at #JohnDeacon at that concert and think he's enjoying it a lot but 100% looks like someone who knows it's the last time ever he'll pick up the bass for let's say, Under Pressure from #Queen. Gosh, he is so good, and underrated.
