Remarkable , think of it, how many solid and tight quality bands there have always been . You know, the ones that not only have each individual member being really bloody good at what they do but also have them getting it all together to perfection.
Queen, ah ! One of the finest (pardon please the banal cliche)
Today on Freddie Mercury's 65th birth anniversary , here's one number that just goes so well with the man , or at least his public persona. Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon from A Night At The Opera. All camp frolic-and-frivolity but underneath of that is some brilliant songwriting.Quite the small wonder this track. Packs in everything in a minute. Love Brian May's solo at the end. Also the way it is sequenced in the album,fits so perfectly in there.
The other similar track on Night... is Seaside Rendezvous. Same attitude and feel. ("It's such a jollification as a matter of fact / So tres charmante my dear" and of course the "Give us a kiss" at the very end - immortal !)
Happy birthday Killer Queen , you must be kicking some butt up there. (Puns ? FM likely would have !)
yes, they had 'each individual member being really bloody good at what they do but also have them getting it all together to perfection'. specially roger taylor with 'i'm in love with my car' from the same album. probably my favorite from the album. ;)
