QUEEN BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
Arguably Britain's most consistently successful group of the past two decades, Queen began life as a glam rock unit in 1972. Astronomy student Brian May and Roger Taylor had been playing in Johnny Quale And The Reactions, Beat Unlimited and a college group called Smile with bassist Tim Staffell. When the latter left to join Humpty Bong, May and Taylor elected to form a new band with vocalist Freddie Mercury. Early in 1971 bassist John Deacon completed the line-up.
Queen were signed to EMI Records late in 1972 and launched the following spring with a gig at London's Marquee club. Soon after the failed single, Keep Yourself Alive, they issued a self-titled album, which was an interesting fusion of 70s glam and late 60s heavy rock (it had been preceded by a Mercury 'solo' single, a cover of the Beach Boys' I Can Hear Music, credited to Larry Lurex). |
