    Back from being sick and "I am in the stadium", methaporically speaking.

    I called day 6 "I am in the stadium" because the bonus album "On Fire" is really a great live stadium album, and the next album on the agenda is very much stadium rock.

    Now @buffyleigh made the observation that they have some few industrial songs in their catalogue. I never realized this, but it's very true.

    One song which is almost industrial-pop is the opener of their grand 1984 album. I love the video, where our champions drive/fly through Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

    Another party's over
    And I'm left cold sober
    My baby left me for somebody new
    I don't wanna talk about it
    Want to forget about it
    Wanna be intoxicated with that special brew

    My Melancholy Blues is a deeply personal song by Freddie.

    Revisiting "News of the World" I realize that this might be their most straight forward no nonsense rock album yet.

    My favourite track is Spread Your Wings.
    This song was the first track on a Queen tape me and my brother had when we were little, and I can still remember the white noise of the tape before the song hits. And I loved and still love Freddie's on this song.

    Champions of Jazz

    News of the World starts with 2 fairly well known song.

    As a little kid I was terrified of the album cover. My cousins (who had all the vinyls) chased me around the house with it.

    Fun fact for Metalheads: Judas Priest desperetly wanted to create their own version of "We Will Rock You" and made "Take on the World". I love JP, but that's not even close.

    On another note, my son is really into dinosaurs lately. And everytime we read a book or look at dinosaur pictures, I can't help but think of this tune 👇
