Queen

Well today i want to talk about one about a monument of rock music, a band with a very extended musical patrimony , we can say they are polyvalent. They contributed to the inspiration of artists or bands like MUSE , GUNS N ROSES or MIKA. They are a band , they are QUEEN!
QUEEN are from right to left :

Freddie MERCURY, whose real name was Farrokh BULSARA, was born in the protectorate of Zanzibar in 1946 and died in 1991 in London. It’s maybe the most famous guy of this band.

He was the singer , the pianist and sometimes the guitarist for a little number of songs

Brian MAY , the guitarist of the band. . he raised his guitar (the “red special”) as a classical rock instrument by its utilisation of saturation sounds and its abilities to play every kind of musical styles. He is a great pianist and singer too.

Roger TAYLOR , the drummer and one of the founders with the guys above in 1970. He did the back vocals with Brian MAY

John DEACON , the bass player who join the band in 1971

At first, they turned towards heavy metal and other hard rock styles. We had to wait until 1975 and the creation of their biggest hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" to recognise the style we know them for. Moreover , you need to know that there were no leaders in this band. Stop thinking that Freddie MERCURY was the head of this for guys. He might be the autor of their greatest hit.
He might written their discography. But whitout the other musician, we would probably never have known famous songs like "We will rock you" , "I want to break free" and "Another one bites the dust". Besides, we surely would have heard songs like "Under presure", "I want it all" and "The show must go on" a different way.
