BIOGRAFIA Queen É Uma Banda De Rock Formada Em Londres QUEEN BIOGRAFIA Queen é uma banda de rock formada em Londres, Inglaterra, integrada por Freddie Mercury (vocal, falecido), Brian May (guitarra), Roger Taylor (bateria) e John Deacon (baixo). Foi uma das mais populares bandas inglesas dos anos 1970 e 1980, sendo precursora do rock tal como hoje o conhecemos, com magníficas produções dos seus concertos e videoclipes das suas canções. Mesmo nunca tendo sido levada a sério pelos críticos, que consideravam a sua música “comercial”, a banda tornou-se das mais famosas entre o público, graças à sua mistura única entre as complexas e elaboradas apresentações ao vivo e o dinamismo e carisma da sua estrela maior, o vocalista Freddie Mercury. História 1968-1970 Brian May e Roger Taylor tocavam numa banda chamada Smile, com o vocalista/baixista Tim Staffel. Freddie era colega de quarto de Tim e seguia assiduamente os concertos do grupo. A essa altura, Freddie era vocalista de outras bandas, como os Wreckage ou os Ibex. Para além disso, não tinha qualquer problema em partilhar as suas ideias acerca da direção musical que os Smile deviam tomar. Tim decidiu então pôr fim à sua carreira nos Smile e juntou-se a uma banda chamada Humpty Bong. Freddie substituiu-o e o grupo começou à procura de um baixista profissional. O primeiro seria Barry Mitchell; só em 1971 o grupo descobriu John Deacon. Com a formação definida, o quarteto estava definitivamanete em marcha, possuidores de uma imagem inovadora, desfazendo regras musicais anteriores, compondo temas de absoluta originalidade, nada, ou bem pouco a ver com o resto do rock daqueles tempos. Anos 1970 O primeiro álbum da banda, intitulado Queen, foi lançado como uma revolução no Reino Unido, mas não teve o sucesso esperado. Este álbum caracterizou-se por um som pesado, misturando a banda à onda heavy metal que já existia na Inglaterra do início da década de 1970. Deste álbum, destaca-se a faixa “Keep Yourself Alive”, canção que conseguiu alcançar o Top 40 do Reino Unido. O segundo álbum, Queen II, já apresentava um som mais melódico, mostrando já a influência que Freddie viria a ter nas composições da banda. Aqui destaca- se a composição “Seven Seas of Rhye”, primeira canção da banda a alcançar o Top 10 do Reino Unido. A partir do terceiro álbum, Sheer Heart Attack, a banda viria a ter os seus álbuns distribuídos pela Trident e EMI, ocasionando assim uma reviravolta na trajetória da banda. Lançado em 1974, o álbum foi o primeiro da banda a estar entre os 10 mais vendidos da Inglaterra, e tornou o Queen conhecido dos dois lados do Atlântico. A turné nos EUA foi um sucesso, o que abriu caminho para que a banda pudesse concretizar a sua obra-prima. Em 1975, o Queen lançou o disco A Night at the Opera, também conhecido entre os fãs como o “White Album” da banda, numa alusão ao disco de mesma altura dos Beatles. Este disco, primeiro da banda a conseguir disco de platina, primeiro a vender mais de um milhão de cópias, primeiro a atingir o topo das paradas do Reino Unido e EUA, definiu um novo tipo de Rock: o rock arte, realizado como uma grande produção, para ser apreciado por todos os ouvidos. Usando uma técnica de retorno da voz, esse disco criou o som que se tornou marca registrada do Queen e o lançou para a fama. Suas canções refletem o espírito da banda: rock pesado com “I’m Love with My Car”; baladas românticas com “Love of My Life” (que foi apresentada por Mercury no Morumbi - São Paulo em 1981 da seguinte forma: “The things that we do for money.” “As coisas que a gente faz por dinheiro.”, e foi cantada por toda a multidão que presenciou esse show maravilhoso) e “You Are my Best Friend”; experimentalismo com “The Prophet’s Song”, e uma canção impossível de se classificar, como “Bohemian Rhapsody”. Esta Opera Rock, quando lançada em 1975, recebeu críticas por não ter apelo comercial e ser muito longa. No entanto, a gravadora bancou a aposta, e o resultado foi estrondoso: primeiro lugar das paradas durante nove semanas consecutivas, os quatro álbuns dos Queen entre os vinte mais vendidos, um video-clip que ficou conhecido mundialmente pela sua produção e a sua qualidade, iniciando a era do Video- clip e é considerada por muitos o maior classico da história do Rock n’ Roll. Após esse álbum, a banda consolidou-se efetivamente como uma das grandes bandas de Rock, firmando terreno para mais e mais sucessos. Aqui, os seus membros (principalmente Mercury) já apresentavam suas excentricidades que ficariam mundialmente conhecidas. Curiosiamente, quando o álbum foi lançado em K7, a canção Bohemian Rhapsody, por conta de sua tamanha complexidade, tornava a fita transparente; mais, esta canção sempre que era tocada ao vivo em um dos concertos dos Queen ou era como parte de um meddley ou colocavam uma gravação nas partes mais complexas. Em 1976, o álbum seguinte, “A Day at the Races” (ambos uma ironia, por se tratarem de títulos de filmes dos Irmãos Marx), foi mais dirigido pela guitarra de Brian May e pela bateria de Roger Taylor, tendo, portanto, canções mais pesadas, tais como “Tie Your Mother Down” e “White Man”. No entanto, aqui encontramos outra obra-prima vocalística de Freddie Mercury: “Somebody to Love”, uma canção recheada de exageros vocais e complexas passagens vocais, que tornou-se êxito imediato e que foi executada excepcionalmente em 1982, no Show Queen On Fire, mais conhecido como Live at the Bowl. Em 1977, “News of The World” troxe os grandes hits dos estádios da banda, “We Will Rock You” e “We Are the Champions”, além da belíssima “Spread Your Wings”, composta pelo baixista John Deacon. O Queen, embora não tenha sido o primeiro a fazer grandes shows em estádios (mas sim os Beatles), se utilizou muito deles, fazendo shows marcantes (sobretudo se considerarmos que o som era feito exclusivamente pelos quatro integrantes, salvo ajudas de Spike Edney nos últimos shows), que criavam uma relação única com o público, sendo reconhecidos até mesmo pela crítica (alguns consideram os shows feitos pelo Queen em Wembley em 1986 como os melhores shows de rock de todos os tempos, sem falar no estrondoso público de 250 mil pessoas do Rock in Rio). “Jazz”, o álbum seguinte, de 1978, foi mal-recebido pela crítica, sob a alegação que o álbum pouco tem a ver com Jazz, apesar do instrumental acústico refinadíssimo e a alma nervosa e suave das canções - o que parece ser o motivo do nome, não suas semelhanças formais imediatas com o jazz (como acontecia por exemplo com os álbuns de Led Zeppelin, em que se pode dizer que este tom é muito mais evidente). Jazz também decepcionou a banda com relação à aceitação do público. Apesar disso, obteve alguns sucessos, como “Fat Bottomed Girls” e “Bycicle Race” (esta última, no Estádio de Wimbledon, teve como produção uma volta completa no estádio de dezenas de mulheres nuas em bicicletas, o que causou um certo choque na opinião pública). Em 1979 lançam “Live Killers”, um álbum duplo gravado ao vivo na sua turné mundial entre Janeiro e Abril. Brian May aparece espetacularmente em “Brighton Rock” chegando a ser mencionado por Eric Clapton como um dos melhores guitarristas no cenário do rock mundial. Anos 1980 O ano de 1980 marcou uma mudança no som da banda, até então sempre ressaltada nas capas dos seus discos com a frase “No Syntethizers!”. Após o lançamento do álbum ao vivo “Live Killers”, em 1979, os Queen lançaram o álbum “The Game”, o qual demonstrava a intenção da banda em inserir na sua música a eletrônica. Este álbum foi um sucesso principalmente nos EUA, onde a canção “Another One Bites The Dust”, com sua belíssima linha de baixo, alcançou o topo das paradas de rock, soul e disco. Além dessa canção, o rockabilly “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” tornou-se outro sucesso da banda. Então, a banda lançou a trilha sonora do filme “Flash Gordon”, em 1980. Este disco, pela primeira vez, representou um grande fiasco da banda, não agradando tanto a crítica quanto os fãs. Com sua popularidade reduzida na Europa, fortemente impactada pela onda Punk que surgia no Reino Unido, o Queen passou a buscar novos mercados para seu som, iniciando visitas a países fora do eixo EUA-Europa-Japão. Pela primeira vez uma grande banda realizava turnês na América do Sul e África. Na sua primeira passagem pelo Brasil, em 1981, nos doze meses que antecederam o show as rádios de São Paulo só tocavam as canções dos Queen. O lançamento do disco “Hot Space”, em 1982, foi recebido com indiferença pelos fãs, que já não viam ali a mesma criativa e inovadora banda. Neste álbum, temos a primeira participação dos Queen com outro cantor, David Bowie, na faixa “Under Pressure”. Nessa época, já eram conhecidas as brigas e discussões dos integrantes da banda, com constantes idas e vindas, ameaças de saída, entre outros problemas. Essa década foi marcada pelos trabalhos solo dos integrantes do grupo, marcando assim uma maior distância entre os álbuns. Após lançar “The Works”, em 1984, o Queen teve no ano seguinte a sua redenção. Convidados a participar do Rock in Rio, verdadeira cidade do Rock construída no Rio de Janeiro, a banda roubou a cena dos espetáculos, tanto pelas excentricidades de seus integrantes quanto pela beleza de suas apresentações ao vivo, realizados para mais de 250 mil pessoas com a tranquilidade de um espetáculo caseiro. Em 13 de Julho de 1985, o Queen mostrou a todo o mundo sua condição de Estrela do Rock, ao atrair todas as atenções para o show beneficente Live Aid, em prol das vítimas da fome na África.

  • We Will Rock You”
    “We Will Rock You” By Queen and Ben Elton At the Hippodrome Theatre through October 20 By Princess Appau WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS When one walks into the Hippodrome Theatre to view “We Will Rock You,” the common expectation is a compilation of classic rock and roll music held together by a simple plot. This jukebox musical, however, surpasses those expectations by entwining a powerful plot with clever updating of the original 2002 musical by Queen and Ben Elton. The playwright Elton has surrounded Queen’s songs with a plot that highlights the familiar conflict of our era: youths being sycophants to technology. This comic method is not only the key to the show’s success but also the antidote to any fear that the future could become this. The futuristic storyline is connected to many of Queen’s lyrics that foreshadow the youthful infatuation with technology and the monotonous lifestyle that results. This approach is emphasized by the use of a projector displaying programmed visuals of a futuristic setting throughout the show. The opening scene transitions into the Queen song “Radio Gaga,” which further affirms this theme. The scene includes a large projection of hundreds of youth, clones to the cast performing on stage. The human cast and virtual cast are clothed alike in identical white tops and shorts or skirts; they sing and dance in sublime unison, defining the setting of the show and foreshadowing the plot. Unlike most jukebox musicals the plot is not a biographical story of the performers whose music is featured. “We Will Rock You” is set 300 years in the future on the iPlanet when individuality and creativity are shunned and conformity reigns.

    GOODBYE CONSETT Excerpts from STORIES FROM A SONGWRITERS LIFE by Steve Thompson Cover image: Mark Mylchreest. Proof reading: Jim Harle (who still calls me Stevie). © 2020 Steve Thompson. All rights reserved. FOREWORD INTO THE UNKOWN By Trev Teasdel (Poet, author and historian) We almost thought of giving in Searching for that distant dream” Steve Thompson, Journey’s End. For a working-class man born in Consett, County Durham, UK apprenticed to the steel industry, with expectations only of the inevitable, Steve Thompson has managed to weld together, over 50 years, an amazing career as hit songwriter, musician, rock band leader, record producer, ideas man, raconteur, radio producer, community media mogul, workshop leader and much more. The world is full of unsung heroes, the people behind the scenes who pull the strings, spark ideas, write the material for others to sing and while Steve may be one of them, his songs at least have been well sung by some of the top artists in show business, and he’s worked alongside some of the top producers of the time. This is what this book is about – those songs that will be familiar to you even if you never knew who wrote them, the stories that lie behind them; the highs and lows, told with honesty, clarity and humour. There’s nothing highfalutin about Steve Thompson, he’s pulled himself up by his own bootstraps, achieved his dream, despite setbacks, and through it remains humble (if a little boastful – as you will see!), a staunchly people’s man with a wicked sense of humour (and I do mean wicked!).
