This power ballad, which has some edgy lyrics about the...
“Innuendo” was the lead single from the album of the same name (and the last album that Freddie Mercury worked on before his death, in 1991). The song, which went straight to No.1 in the UK, began life as a jam session in Switzerland, when Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and bass player John Deacon played around with a beat. Mercury and Taylor adde...
Queen pushed the boundaries with some of the songs on 1978’s Jazz. “Fat Bottomed Girls,” a bluesy rock romp, is sung with gusto by Mercury and proved to be a natural crowd-pleaser. The song was released as single accompanying “Bicycle Race,” which featured a controversial video of naked models riding round Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium. “Bicycle Race...
John Deacon’s catchy pop song “I Want To Break Free” was caught in a controversy surrounding its promotional video. All the band members dressed in drag for the clip, a concept proposed by Taylor to parody the long-running British television soap series Coronation Street. May said they were hit by an unexpected backlash in the US that included MTV ...
“A Kind of Magic” was issued as a single ahead of the album of the same name and demonstrated that Roger Taylor was on a hot streak of writing, following “Radio Ga Ga” a year earlier and “Don’t Lose Your Head” (also for the A Kind Of Magic album). The catchy hit was penned for the soundtrack of the movie Highlander (the line “It’s a kind of magic” ...
Brian May wrote numerous interesting songs for Queen – John Deacon said his favorite was the funky “Dragon Attack” – and one of the most popular was “Tie Your Mother Down.” Queen were well on their way to becoming one of the biggest rock bands in the world when they recorded their fifth album, A Day At The Races (which, like A Night At The Opera, w...
Among the strong offerings on A Kind Of Magicwere the title track and the songs “Who Wants To Live Forever” and “Friends Will Be Friends.” But what marked the album as a true return to form was the song “One Vision,” which bubbles with the confidence and shows the renewed unity the band had following their Live Aid triumph in July 1985. “One Vision...
Brian May’s marriage had broken up and he was in a relationship with actress Anita Dobson when he wrote “I Want It All” in 1989.EastEndersstar Dobson used to say, “I want it all and I want it now,” and May wrote a powerful anthem around those words. The song seemed to capture the greed and ambition of some sections of the country in the 80s. May si...
The sublime love song “You’re My Best Friend,” written by Deacon for his wife, Veronica Tetzlaff, was a chart hit in 1976. Deacon played a Wurlitzer electric piano on the recording, despite Mercury quipping that it was “a horrible instrument”. After Mercury’s death, Deacon moved out of the public spotlight and continued to live a quiet life with hi...
“Hammer To Fall” was the third song Queen performed at their stunning Live Aid concert. The powerful rocker, written by guitarist Brian May during a time of renewed Cold War tensions between the Soviet Union and an America led by Ronald Reagan, references nuclear tensions with a line about growing up “in the shadow of the mushroom cloud.”
