Queen Rock - Before the commercial stuff

in music •  7 years ago 

I had so much positive feedback on my Queen of Prophet post that I wanted to share some of the real good stuff Queen did as a rock band and as live on stage performers. To me they were always so much better than the commercial stuff they put out such as “ We will rock you” and “We are the Champions”

@blackfeather thank you for motivating me to do this...and also for getting me so sidetracked

Have a listen, and I have deliberately chosen LIVE performance so you can enjoy the show… and to highlight how good these guys are.


Death on Two Legs - enjoy the riff at the 3m10 seconds mark... a Queen trademark


Liar – album simply titled Queen, this recording Live in 1974

Liar has always been my favorite song and the tune I crank up really loud when feeling down. (Along with Motorhead of course)


Bring Back That Leroy Brown – watch and listen to for me an amazing little masterpiece


In the Lap of the Gods – Sheer Heart Attack


Stone Cold Crazy – Sheer Heart Attack recorded in 1974

This last track is an epic and was performed at all their live concerts… if you listen to only one it must be this one. Who can deny that Freddy Mercury was a seriously good vocalist and not a shabby muso all round. (make it two tracks and also listen to the Leroy Brown track {smile})

(Ogre Battle)
Ogre Battle – Queen 2 recorded in 1973

If you enjoy rock music and you have been sort of ‘iffy’ about Queen’s music do yourself a favor and get your hands on these three albums…Queen, Queen 2 and Sheer Heart Attack. Listen loud and listen again. You WILL be sold

@twolittlebirds I trust you have appreciated the music.

I have to admit to liking the commercial stuff. I never realised how heavy they were at the start, and what a different sound it was. Those tracks really show their versatility.

After 'A Day At The Races' I lost interest in them (in fact from that album onwards) .... I loved there early stuff.

Thank you for the mention :) unfortunately i was unavailable over the weekend but you're right, Queen is well, well, well appreciated!
Thanks to my dad that he owns a lot CD's of them, they were one of the first rockbands i listened to and still do - timeless classics :) Thank you for sharing @themagus

Hey it is awesome to see this post! I motivated you? That is great :) thanks to you I am now following Queen on Spotify and will surely more often have a listen. The life shows are pretty awesome! I appreciate you showing this to me! :)
