La Música De Queen Segueix En Forma Cultura i Mitjans | Redacció | Actualitzat el 25/05/2016 a les 07:30 La música de Queen segueix en forma Crònica del concert d'aquest 22 de maig al Palau Sant Jordi de Barcelona de la mítica banda, ara amb la veu d'Adam Lambert en substitució de Freddie Mercury Adam Lambert i Brian May, en un concert del nou Queen | Wikicommons La banda formada pels dos membres de Queen Brian May i Roger Taylor i el cantant Adam Lambert (Queen+Adam Lambert (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_%2B_Adam_Lambert) ) ha visitat aquest diumenge el Palau Sant Jordi de Barcelona per oferir el segon concert de la seva gira d'estiu (http://www.queenonline.com/en/the-band/live/queen-adam-lambert/2016/) per diversos països europeus i que va començar divendres 20 de maig a Lisboa, al Rock in Rio que es va celebrar a la capital portuguesa. Després d'algunes gires i concerts amb veus com les d'Elton John o Paul Rodgers, May i Taylor han tornat a Barcelona, aquest cop amb Adam Lambert, cantant que van conèixer quan participava al programa American Idol l'any 2009. I han respost el que els incondicionals de Queen es preguntaven des de feia anys: com es pot viure un espectacle de Queen sense l'ànima del grup, Freddie Mercury? Aquest diumenge al Sant Jordi, Taylor, May i Lambert van demostrar, veient les reaccions del públic, que un concert així es pot viure com com un homenatge a Freddie Mercury fent allò que saben fer i com ho saben fer. Amb unes primeres notes de la banda sonora de Flash Gordon i una cançó del mateix disc, The Herohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK6A1iGyRgs ( ) , es va obrir el concert, que duraria pràcticament dues hores, mentre el Barça s'enduia la Copa del Rei contra el Sevilla. https://www.naciodigital.cat/noticia/109040/musica-queen-segueix-forma Pagina 1 de 4 Rock que segueix en forma L'espectacle va seguir amb algunes cançons més rockeres: Hammer to fall, Seven Seas of Rhye i Stone Cold Crazy, per canviar de registre a Fat Bottomed Girls i Play The Game, mentre els espectadors de pista saltaven i cantaven amb Lambert. Una butaca a mode de tron va ser l'escenari on Adam Lambert va cantar-hi Killer Queen, abans d'arribar a un clàssic de clàssics: I want to break free seguit per Somebody to love. Va seguir Brian May per cantar Love of my life (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUJkCXE4sAA) amb sorpresa final: Freddie Mercury a les pantalles gegants per cantar els darrers versos. Ovació abans que Roger Taylor cantés These are the days of our lives mentre a les pantalles gegants s'hi podien veure imatges del Queen original, amb Mercury i Deacon, i tots molt més joves. El mateix Taylor després prosseguí amb Drum Battle, una sèrie de demostracions de bateria entre ell i el seu fill Rufus Tiger Taylor. Semblava que les cançons no s'acabaven, i és que el repertori de Queen podria no acabar-se mai: Under Pressure, Crazy Little Thing Called Love i, de nou, un altre clàssic dels que tothom coneix, Don't Stop Me Now. Another One Bites the Dust va permetre el lluïment del baixista que els acompanyava, que no era John Deacon, retirat des de la defunció de Freddie Mercury i amb cap intenció de tornar als escenaris. I Want It All va tornar la potència a l'escenari abans d'entrar amb Who Wants To Live Forever i els solos de Brian May: Last Horizon i el Guitar Solo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPhir2Wgdok) , que van deixar escoltar el so de la guitarra Red Special, construïda pel mateix Brian May. Recta final amb grans "hits" Entrada la recta final del concert, Tie Your Mother Down va animar l'ambient i la seguí The Show Must Go On i dos dels clàssics que no podrien faltar: primer Bohemian Rhapsody, amb part de la cançó com a videoclip a les pantalles i Radio Ga Ga, cantada entre Lambert i el públic. Una retirada ràpida per prosseguir amb uns bisos que tancarien el concert i que a aquestes alçades tothom sabia quines cançons havien de dur: els dos hits principals We Will Rock You i We Are The Champions. La darrera ovació se la van endur mentre sonava, enregistrada, la versió del grup de God Save the Queen. El concert va deixar en general un sentiment de satisfacció entre els que hi varen assistir: Adam Lambert està molt més a l'alçada que els qui han intentat ocupar l'espai deixat per Freddie Mercury i a més, és conscient que no se'l pot substituir. Així, es va posar el públic a la butxaca quan va afirmar que de Freddie només n'hi podia haver un. "Ever". Per part seva, Brian May i Roger Taylor s'enduen una part important de protagonisme, tot i que encara queda el buit deixat pel baixista, John Deacon. Un espectacle, doncs, que no és de Queen, sinó de Queen+Adam Lambert. Alguns incondicionals critiquen que es segueixi utilitzant el nom de Queen, però tothom és conscient a hores d'ara que les ocasions per veure Queen en directe es van esgotar fa molts anys i que si volen seguir gaudint de la seva música, la millor opció que tenen és l'encert de May i Taylor per trobar un cantant que els pugui acompanyar. I sembla que ara l'han encertat.

  • Brian May Plays “God Save the Queen” from the Roof of Buckingham Palace to Commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’S Golden Jubilee on June 3, 2002
    Exclusive interview Brian May plays “God Save the Queen” from the roof of Buckingham Palace to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee on June 3, 2002. © 2002 Arthur Edwards 26 Astronomy • September 2012 As a teenager, Brian Harold May was shy, uncer- tain, insecure. “I used to think, ‘My God, I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to wear, I don’t know who I am,’ ” he says. For a kid who didn’t know who he was or what he wanted, he had quite a future in store. Deep, abiding interests and worldwide success A life in would come on several levels, from both science and music. Like all teenagers beset by angst, it was just a matter of sorting it all out. Skiffle, stars, and 3-D A postwar baby, Brian May was born July 19, 1947. In his boyhood home on Walsham Road in Feltham on the western side of Lon- science don, England, he was an only child, the offspring of Harold, an electronics engineer and senior draftsman at the Ministry of Avia- tion, and Ruth. (Harold had served as a radio operator during World War II.) The seeds for all of May’s enduring interests came early: At age 6, Brian learned a few chords on the ukulele from his father, who was a music enthusiast. A year later, he awoke one morning to find a “Spanish guitar hanging off the end of my bed.” and At age 7, he commenced piano lessons and began playing guitar with enthusiasm, and his father’s engineering genius came in handy to fix up and repair equipment, as the family had what some called a modest income.

  • 1. Historia 2. Carrera Musical
    Queen Banda de rock británica formada por Freddie Mercury (voz), Brian May (guitarra), Roger Taylor (batería) y John Deacon (bajo). El grupo gozó de gran fama a finales de los setenta y durante toda la década de los ochenta, y sus discos fueron superventas incluso después del fallecimiento en 1991 de Freddie Mercury, víctima del SIDA. 1. Historia 1.1. Orígenes Sus orígenes se remontan al inicio de los sesenta, cuando el joven guitarrista Brian Harold May (nacido en 1947) comenzó a tocar en un grupo semiprofesional llamado 1984. Brian, experto conocedor de varios instrumentos de cuerda, diseñaba incluso sus propias guitarras, conocidas posteriormente como el modelo Red Special. Brian May pasó después a formar parte de otra banda, llamada Smile, con la que editó un single. Inesperadamente, Tim Stafell, el cantante de la banda, abandonó el grupo; para buscar su sustituto, los miembros de Smile decidieron hacer una prueba al cantante de Sour Milk Sea, que no era otro que Freddie Mercury, y fue rápidamente admitido. 1.2. Freddy Por aquel entonces Freddie Mercury ya estaba acostumbrado a aparecer en público y sobre el escenario con vestimentas llamativas y atrevidas. Freddie contaba con una prodigiosa voz y sobrados conocimientos de piano. A esto se unió una base rítmica firmada por John Richard Deacon (nacido en 1951) al bajo y la batería de Roger Meadows Taylor (nacido en 1949). 2. Carrera musical 2.1. Primer trabajo El grupo comenzó a grabar maquetas y la compañía discográfica EMI, después de verlos actuar en el Marquee de Londres, se interesó por ellos.

  • Group 3: Jennifer Day, Xander Jarnow, Duke Mcghee, Shelby Stehn, Adam Vandenhouten, Tyler Kallevig Reasons Why We Chose Queen
    Queen Group 3: Jennifer Day, Xander Jarnow, Duke McGhee, Shelby Stehn, Adam Vandenhouten, Tyler Kallevig Reasons Why We Chose Queen: There are a lot of reasons that we, as a group, decided to do our project on Queen. Queen is an extremely well-known band across multiple generations, so it is an artist that we can talk to almost anyone anywhere about. Additionally, they were an influence to many artists after them. Finally, they released over 15 albums that showed a very impressive musical range and an awe-inspiring amount of talent. Queen: Overview Queen was one of the most popular and successful rock groups during the 1970s and 80s, with a very unique, experimental style and sound, Queen has remained one of the best selling artists of all time. The band began its formation in 1967, when the guitarist Brian May and the drummer Roger Taylor joined with Tim Staffell to form a rock group named Smile. When Tim Staffell left the group, May and Taylor joined forces with Freddie Mercury and a bass player named John Deacon, resulting in the core version of the band in 1970. Queen was famous for bright, glam, “pomp-rock” and put on energetic shows. Freddie Mercury in particular was known for his flamboyant style. Their sound was a very produced and incorporated elements of glam rock, heavy metal, hard rock, and harmony. After the tragic death of Freddie Mercury the band added new members and continued performing Even today their songs remain popular, for example, “We Are the Champions,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and “We Will Rock You” are still played often.
