Queen Greatest Hits cover- clockwise from
top: Brian May, John Deacon, Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor.
Hello and
welcome to my page! This is a page devoted to THE band of the
80's, Queen.
Queen ran
from 1974 up until 1991, when Freddie Mercury died sadly of AIDS.
The band setup went like this:
Lead Vocals - Freddie Mercury
Lead Guitar
- Brian May
Bass Guitar
- John Deacon
Drums -
Roger Taylor
The most
famous Queen single released is probably Bohemian Rhapsody which
runs for 5 mins, 55 secs. The longest single released by
Queen though was "Inuenndo". It comprimises nearly all of the different styles that
Queen used over the years along with Bohemian Rhapsody.
Here is a
list of just some of their many hits:
Bohemian
Rhapsody, Another One Bites the Dust, Innuendo, I Want to Break
Free, We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, The Show Must Go
On.
The first
ever song released by the band was "The Seven Seas of
Rhye" released in 1974. This was a major achievement for the
band because they were being taken on by a record company that
did not know what they could do.
Queen were
originally a Secondary School band in Cornwall called
"Smile". In this band featured Brian May and John
Deacon. When the band split, Freddie moved in and Queen were
formed. They recorded their own songs and sent them off to a
record company. The company liked what they heard! They took on
the band and Queen were destined for the top!
The band were very successful, gaining the most "Gold" records ever by a band. In 1989, they won the ITV award for best band.<
They also took partin the huge world televised concert "Live Aid" in which Freddie took on a more unfamiliar role on the keyboard.
The last tour made by the band was "The Magic Tour" in 1986. The last live performance was in Knebbworth, which was not a planned show. It pulled in a huge crowd.
