TA:
Over a 20 year period Queen broke every record in the book. 47 chart
hits, 24 top tens, million selling albums and an enormous fan base.
Six years after the untimely death of their flamboyant lead singer Freddie
Mercury, the band have now released a compilation album, reminding everyone
that QUEEN ROCKS. Clips
of "We Will Rock You", "I Want It All" and "Headlong".
TA:
Yeah. Now like me you were probably singing along there, but nestled
amongst those well loved favourites on the album is a brand new Queen tune,
just recorded by the other three. But, how can you have a Queen track
without Freddie? BM:
It just kind of happened, 'cause I wrote the track for my solo album which
I'm working on at the moment and erm, it just happened that, erm, Roger and
John really liked it and kind of felt that it aught to be a Queen track -
and it was about Freddie really so it, it sort of begged the question. Clip
of "No One But You", and video (approx 30 seconds) TA:
What do you says then to fans that say Queen isn't Queen without Freddie? without
Freddie. TA:
Do you have plans to record any more tracks as Queen? BM:
At the moment no, no, erm, it's always very tempting because everybody wants
you to, you know, you know that there's the audience out there and if
somehow you could be Queen again, properly, everyone would be very happy,
you know, including us I'm sure... but it isn't that easy | |
