QUEEN - Musique, film, nouveautés diverses... Topic unique

Tout pareil.

C'est un titre qui a été considéré en son temps comme pas assez bon pour être sur un album ?

Il est bien sur un album (le premier album solo de Mercury, en l’occurrence).

OTAN pour moi.
Je pensais que c'était un inédit.

Queen a joué au concert caritatif pour la lutte contre les incendies en Australie. Pour l'occasion ils ont interprété exactement la même setlist que lors du mythique Live Aid de 1985.  





Edith le remet en meilleure qualité:

Enfin un live officiel avec Adam Lambert:



Since their first appearance together in 2009 when QUEEN members Brian May and Roger Taylor appeared as guests on the finale of the eighth season of "American Idol" on which Adam Lambert was a contestant, the combination of QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT has gone from strength to strength becoming one of the world's biggest drawing touring bands. Their most recent tour of Oceania saw them selling out to massive audiences, with a single show at Sydney's ANZ stadium drawing a record crowd of over 60,000. To date the band has played to a worldwide audience approaching four million.

Had this been different times, Brian, Roger and Adam would have just ended a further tour with a colossal run of 27 shows across nine European countries. However, the arrival of COVID-19 forced their imminent European summer tour to be postponed until next year. With this in mind, QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT looked to other ways to console the almost half a million disappointed fans already holding tickets. This is when they turned first to YouTube. No strangers to the platform with 12.5 million subscribers already following them, the band presented a special QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT "Tour Watch Party", an hour-long show of live highlights from previous tours across the world. The positive engagement from fans worldwide showed that despite the global blackout of live shows, the show could still go on. But it wasn't just the 500,000+ viewing fans who were impressed, so were the band themselves.

"We hadn't really watched those clips before; we were always too busy touring," says Taylor. "We weren't aware of how good the band sounded. So we thought, well, maybe there's a live album of highlights of concerts that we've done over the last eight years with Adam Lambert to be made."

As hinted at in interviews recently, QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT have now confirmed they will release their first-ever live album, "Live Around The World". The release comes worldwide October 2 in CD, CD+DVD, CD+Blu-ray and vinyl formats.

The set presents a compilation of concert highlights captured the world over personally selected by Taylor, May and Lambert from over 200 shows they have performed with several featured here becoming available for the very first time. These cover concerts from Rock In Rio, Lisbon, to the U.K.'s Isle Of Wight festival, Summer Sonic, Japan, selected U.K. and North America tour dates, and — from one of their very last performances before lockdown — the Fire Fight Australia benefit show. All formats include the band's entire 22-minute Fire Fight Australia appearance in which they performed QUEEN's original history-making 1985 Live Aid set in full: "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Radio Ga Ga", "Hammer To Fall", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions". While even Freddie Mercury's iconic Ay-Ohs feature.

The 20 tracks featured include firm QUEEN fan favorites like "Don't Stop Me Now" and "I Want To Break Free" as well as rarities such as their versions of the Freddie Mercury-penned "Love Kills" and "I Was Born To Love You". The live album comes in CD, CD+DVD, CD+Blu-ray and vinyl versions, with the DVD and Blu-ray featuring extra performance footage which include a Roger Taylor "Drum Battle" with drummer son Rufus Taylor, and Brian May "Last Horizon" guitar solo.

May said of the historic live album: "As we all grapple with the challenge of creating live shows in a world dominated by a formidable viral enemy, it seemed the perfect time for us to create a collection of hand-picked live highlights from our QUEEN shows over the last seven years with our brother Adam Lambert.

"It's a first! As you watch and listen to these tracks you'll be journeying all around the world with us, and experiencing a complete virtual live set. The collection climaxes in Sydney earlier this year when, in support Fire Fight Australia, we recreated the complete QUEEN Live Aid set. It was a historic event for a great cause — with perhaps the highest adrenaline level since the original Live Aid in 1985. It makes me particularly happy that we can now share this unique moment with the whole world."

Lambert added: "When we couldn't tour this year, we wanted to give the fans something in place of that, and a live album just felt right. It's the first time we have released an album together, and we have had a lot of fun putting it together, picking out favorite performances over the past seven years."

QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT's only previously released track, their lockdown version of "You Are The Champions", with all the proceeds going towards the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization, was viewed close to four million times in its first month on YouTube.

QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT's postponed 27-date European "Rhapsody" tour is now rescheduled to begin May 23, 2021, in Bologna, Italy, with its final date to be played in Madrid, Spain, on July 7. The full set of dates includes a 10-day residency at London's The O2 Arena in June.

Edith balance un extrait:

Brian May va sortir une version remasterisée de son premier album solo, l'excellent Back to the Light.

Ah tiens, jamais entendu une note de Brian sans ses copains. Je vais jeter une oreille à l'occasion!

Sven a écrit:Ah tiens, jamais entendu une note de Brian sans ses copains. Je vais jeter une oreille à l'occasion!

Avec Cozy Powell qui martèle les fûts !

Sven a écrit:Ah tiens, jamais entendu une note de Brian sans ses copains. Je vais jeter une oreille à l'occasion!

Tu peux te jeter sur Back to the Light, son premier, et sur l'excellent live qui a suivi, Live at the Brixton Academy: line up et setlist de fou !

Pour l'anecdote, c'est ce live qui m'a fait connaitre Rainbow, Brian y reprenant Since You've Been Gone.

J'aime moins son deuxième album, Another World, mais je ne l'ai pas écouté depuis TRES longtemps...

Roger Taylor en solo:

Logiquement Another World, le deuxième album solo de Brian May, ressort à son tour.

Pietro a écrit:Brian May joins 10cc founder Graham Gouldman

Serait-il en amour, après tout ce temps ?

Le groupe a retrouvé dans ses archives un morceau inédit tiré des sessions de The Miracle !

Cette voix...



Having generated a media firestorm back in the summer when band members Brian May and Roger Taylor first leaked news of a rediscovered Queen song featuring Freddie Mercury being considered for possible release, the highly anticipated ‘lost’ track, ‘Face It Alone’, drops as a simultaneous worldwide single release Thursday 13 October, 11.15am BST.

The track’s existence was first revealed by May and Taylor in a BBC radio interview at their appearance at this year’s Royal Jubilee concert at which they performed the opening with their regular singer Adam Lambert, with Roger Taylor describing it as “a little gem from Freddie that we’d kind of forgotten about”, with Brian May saying “it’s beautiful, it’s touching.”

The track’s arrival as a single leads in a November 18 release of a new revisiting of the band’s 13th album, The Miracle, the band’s penultimate to be released in Freddie Mercury’s lifetime, which now becomes available in a lavish 8-disc Queen The Miracle Collector’s Edition box set format.

Among its contents, the expanded set includes The Miracle Sessions: an hour-plus disc of further previously unreleased recordings, including six unpublished songs. Just as tantalising for fans, the audio includes the band’s candid spoken exchanges on the studio floor in London and Montreux, giving the most revealing window yet into the four members’ creative process and the joy, in-jokes and banter on their return to working together.

‘Face It Alone’ was originally recorded during the band’s historic 1988 sessions for that album, a prolific period which saw the band lay down around 30 tracks, many of which were never released, but remained among those that didn’t make the final album cut. It was rediscovered when the band’s production and archive team returned to those sessions to work on The Miracle box set reissue.

“We’d kind of forgotten about this track,” admits Roger Taylor, “but there it was, this little gem. It’s wonderful, a real discovery. It’s a very passionate piece”.

The single will be the first new song featuring Freddie Mercury released in over 8 years. On 2014’s Queen Forever album the band included three previously unheard tracks with Mercury, including ‘Let Me in Your Heart Again,’ ‘Love Kills’ and ‘There Must Be More to Life Than This.’

Speaking of the rediscovered track, Brian May says: “I’m happy that our team were able to find this track. After all these years, it’s great to hear all four of us … yes, Deacy is there too … working in the studio on a great song idea which never quite got completed … until now!”

Un morceau mignon qui vaut surtout par la performance de Freddie Mercury, comme pas mal de titres de cette époque. C'est assez émouvant de le réentendre sur un inédit. Comme s'il venait passer nous saluer, et nous dire qu'il ne nous a pas oubliés.

C'est exactement ça.

Le clip :

Certes, on réentend Mercury, mais le morceau est vraiment faiblard. On comprend qu'il ait fini aux oubliettes.

On dit la même chose. Mais toi, méchamment.

Est-ce qu’on pouvait attendre quelque chose d’un titre visiblement pas assez bon pour figurer sur The Miracle ?
