Queen made a lot of different music in their early days. Songs like Stone Cold Crazy and Sheer Heart Attack were a little mix between heavy and punk with a rock flavour. Funny fact are that Sheer Heart Attack were the title of their third album from 1974 but the song itself was released on their sixth album News of the World in 1977. In between came their classic albums A Day at the Races and A Night at the Opera. Actually titles of two old Marx Brothers movies. Also check out Tie Your Mother Down

Back in the day we had bells on our bikes to “officially” announce our presence behind someone, similar to a car horn (some did have horns on their bikes. Lol). On concert days all local bicycle shops sold out of bells as people bought and used them in the audience during the performance of this song. (Audience participation!😎)

Queen's "BICYCLE RACE" is usually played AFTER "FAT BOTTOM GIRLS" There are 2 really good backstories to these 2 Songs. 1 is kinda long, but it's how & what "INSPIRED" Brian & Freddie to each write one & a "PERSONAL" backstory. 🤫😉 Sincerely, Terry (Teh) Anne Fogarty a.k.a.

In the 70's more Queen songs were progressive utilizing mixed genres, changing time-signatures and both abrupt and flowing transitions because progressive music was more accepted and viable then. If you listen to a Queen Album from the 70's it's all over the place... News of the World for instance - songs like We are the champions, sleeping on the sidewalk, who needs you and melancholy blues. The decade started on the heels of the 60's and pop/rock artist were intent on musical integrity and complexity... many artist were composing 8 to 45+ minute songs - ELP, Yes, Genesis, Tull, King Crimson, Rush, etc... Then again you'd find a huge variety of styles because the old producers did not know what would sell well and what would not... so they allowed artist more freedom and took more chances. i.e. Established bands even the likes of Led Zep who started out as a blues rock band, crossed into many styles and genres... such as The Song Remains The Same, The Rain Song, Down By The Seaside, Kashmir, Fool In The Rain, etc... Frank Zappa explained this really well, Toward the end of the decade more producers were replaced and marketing departments were expanded so labels took less chance.

@bonsai67 2 жыл бұрын

I guess that kind of thinking comes with the fact not growing up with all different kinds of music. E.g., if you grow up in an era where rap and hiphop and that is the only type of music (assuming the term 'music' applies to that genre) you hear I guess it is hard to differentiate other types of music. You wouldn't think that one band can make different sounding songs.

"Tie Your Mother Down" is a Queen rocker. "You're My Best Friend" and "Spread Your Wings" are great slightly slower rocking tunes. "Flash" is from the 'Flash Gordon' movie soundtrack, of which Queen provided the whole movie soundtrack. The older the Queen songs, the better. Their 70s tunes are their best.

It was great watching you watch this. Not that he's not a genius, but I'd like to recommend that you guys consider doing a Queen song that *isn't* sung by Freddie. Maybe '39, or I'm in Love With my Car? To me, Brad described musical genius in this one. When we think that a song is so creative that it could not have come from any other brain other than it's composer's, because it is so unlike any other song, *that* is a very hard thing to do using the same 12 notes as everyone else. Most of the songs that accomplish that feat are famous.

Brad finally nails one! "Musically rich." So perfectly describes Queen's music. The precision vocal harmonies, the amazing guitar playing, the sound effects, the layers and layers of sounds, the variety of styles. They are amazing. As a promo for this album, they actually put on a nude bicycle race. There was a poster of a photo taken during it, with lots of naked girls, that came with the album. Only it was hard to find one that still had it in there; teenage boys were fond of slitting the cellophane that covered the album and sliding out that poster with all the nude women on it!
