Queen

Speaking of the world's top rock band's most legendary or memorable bands of all time, certainly a lot of music lovers even call it Queen of the ordinary layman who is not too fanatical about music must know this English rock band. Telling Queen challenged the works that have been poisoned community of music lovers would not be endless. But whether the reader or may be coincidence that this reading is a big fan of Queen Queen already knew his way so it is worth dubbed the legendary band. Here I present the history or the way the Queen, good listening 

In the 1970s not many bands who berekses pure flow like music group Queen. The British quartet that homage progressive rock, heavy metal and various other streams are managed to combine the bombastic music and opera to create a game with the sound of guitar and layered vocal technique. For many years the Queen boast their album with the motto "no one Queen album that is engineered synthesizer effects". Brian May et al issued the statement because they do not want to be compared to the hard rock band Led Zeppelin post, which many rely on synthesizers effects.


The lead singer, Freddie Mercury Queen tried to raise a piece of music with sentimental humor weights and arranger who approached the arrangements of classical music. The combination of these unique enough to be heard on the work of the group Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". Meanwhile, Freddie Mercury, which is seen as a flamboyant figure, turned out to save a controversial secret, that he had a deviation of sexual behavior, bisexual. This was stated clearly in the Queen musical, from the title of the selected song to the indirect disclosure of desire that is written on the lyrics of the song. Not long after Freddie admitted that, in 1992 he died from AIDS disease suffered. It was strange when we know that the idol of the gay song like "We Are The Champions", it becomes a song that used to celebrate this moment of triumph in the field of sports. But it can happen because of the expertise of the display process owned music Freddie Mercury, as someone who is very dynamic and charismatic in rock history. Thanks to Freddie's talent was too, the Queen managed to become one of the world's leading groups in the mid-1970s.


In the UK alone, the Queen had to settle for a band number two, because it was defeated by the popularity and collections of music of the Beatles in the 1990s. Brother, though bearing the popularity, in 1979 the music magazine Rolling Stone once called Queen album entitled Jazz, as the album fascist. It's okay to come menghujam sharp criticism, but the popularity of the Queen did not seem shaken. In the late 1980s, a group fronted by Freddie Mercury, John Deacon, Brian May and Roger Taylor still has a fanatical followers, except in the United States.


Figure who served as the founder of musical group is the Queen drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist Brian May. In 1967, Roger Taylor and Brian May had joined the psychedelic rock band called Smile. After lead singer Tim Staffel leave the group in 1971 Smile, Brian May and Roger Taylor formed the band with Freddie Mercury. Freddie Mercury itself is a former vocalist of the Wreckage. A few months later, John Deacon joined as bass player in the group that formed Brian, Roger and Freddie and began to practice together. Within two years, after four members completed college, they began to roll out a number of performances.
Some time before the album Queen II was released, the Queen has appeared in music contests Top of Pops, they performed the song "Seven Seas of Rhye". Both the song and the Queen's presence at the contest is actually a fairly satisfactory result in success. The single "Seven Seas of Rhye" successful shot into the Top Ten charts, where the album Queen II made it to the charts to the fifth order. Gentlemen, before reaching the end of 1974, the group Queen released their third album, entitled Sheer Heart Attack. One of the singles on the album entitled "Killer Queen" successfully ranks two world music charts in the UK, as well as lead the album Sheer Heart Attack to the same sequence.


The success of the album Sheer Heart Attack penetrate the music market in the United States, was to pave the way for the success of the album A Night at the Opera the following year, or 1975. But indeed, the success achieved by this, not without effort. Many facts which confirm that the Queen works very hard and takes a long time to produce the album A Night at the Opera, and it can be said that the album is the album's most expensive record ever released at that time. "Bohemian Rhapsody". This single is one of the recordings contained in the album A Night at the Opera, who later became a symbolic song for the group from London, England. "Bohemian Rhapsody" has the feel of operatic interlude that is still quite strong but also interspersed with typical metal music.


Group Queen takes 3 weeks to record the song, and making her voice to several times. Conceptual music video produced to provide support for the popularity of the song "Bohemian Rhapsody. The result, this song managed to become number one singles and last for 9 weeks in England, and broke the record for longest singles in the UK charts. The song "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the album A Night at the Opera were equally reap success in the United States. Album A Night at the Opera of its own success in the ranks of the Top Ten album chart the United States and shortly thereafter won the platinum award.


After the success of A Night at the Opera, Queen won title superstar superstar and thanks to the predicate, the Queen became an instant legend the rock world. Although already a legend, but the Queen still working hard to pursue his career. In the summer of 1976, the Queen appeared in a free concert in Hyde Park, London, and this concert managed to break the record number of visitors.
