Queen for dummies - Queen is a British band - Freddie Mercury, lead singer

Posted on 21:05 by  with No comments

Queen is a British band, formed in the late 60's. They were famous in the 70''s, 80''s and early 90''s. In 1991 lead singer Freddie Mercury died of AIDS, after that, Queen did never become that famous anymore. ''No Freddie, no Queen''.

The members are:
* Freddie Mercury, lead singer

*Brian May, lead guitarist

*John Deacon, basguitarist

*Roger Taylor, drummer

Okay, so you know who te members are. Now you understand your Queen-fan-friend if he/she's talking about the great guitar solo of Brian May, and John Deacon's perfect basslines.




When I tag ''Queen'' on Google, I even see other people! I only recognize that guy with the long curly hair! Did they change members?
Queen's music was in charts for 20 years, in that 20 years, they changed looks a lot. But they never changed members. So maybe you don't recognize them, it are really the same people. I will show you the 3 basic looks of them.

Why did Freddie Mercury had a moustash like most South-American guys?
Actually, that moustash that's typically for a stereotype South-American man, was inspired by Freddie! I am not kidding! Queen was really famous in South-America [they were the first band having a tour at South-America]. Queen was (and still is) very popular there!

Who was Freddie Mercury?
Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara, 5 September 1946 – 24 November 1991) was a British musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Queen. As a performer, he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and powerful vocals over a four-octave range. As a songwriter, Mercury composed many hits for Queen, including “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Killer Queen”, “Somebody to Love”, “Don’t Stop Me Now”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and “We Are the Champions”. In addition to his work with Queen, he led a solo career, penning hits such as “Barcelona”, “I Was Born to Love You” and “Living on My Own”. Mercury also occasionally served as a producer and guest musician (piano or vocals) for other artists. He died of bronchopneumonia brought on by AIDS on 24 November 1991, only one day after publicly acknowledging he had the disease.

Mercury, who was a Parsi born in Zanzibar and grew up there and in India until his mid-teens, has been referred to as “Britain’s first Asian rock star”. In 2006, Time Asia named him as one of the most influential Asian heroes of the past 60 years, and he continues to be voted one of the greatest singers in the history of popular music. In 2005, a poll organised by Blender and MTV2 saw Mercury voted the greatest male singer of all time. In 2008, Rolling Stone editors ranked him number 18 on their list of the 100 greatest singers of all time. In 2009, a Classic Rock poll saw him voted the greatest rock singer of all time. Allmusic has characterised Mercury as “one of rock’s greatest all-time entertainers”, who possessed “one of the greatest voices in all of music”.
