DEUS SALVE A RAINHA

Não adianta nem discutir, mas é só falar do ‘Queen’ que vem à mente a imagem iconográfica de Freddie Mercury.

Mas banda tinha outros grande integrantes como o guitarrista de estilo único, Brian May, além de um bateirista que também era um ótimo cantor, Roger Taylor, e um baixista econômico e eficiente, John Deacon.

O ‘Queen’ era formado por esses caras que eram uma cozinha extremamente eficiente para a o voz de Farrokh Bulsara, mais conhecido como Freddie Mercury.

Tudo começou quando Brian May, que vinha da banda ‘1984’, se juntou ao cantor e baixista Tim Staffell para formarem o ‘Smile’. Eles abriram audições para um bateirista no estilo Ginger Baker, e quem conseguiu a vaga foi o jovem estudante de medicina Roger Taylor.

A banda gravou alguns EPs (lançados como ‘Ghost of a Smile’ e no Japão como ‘Getting Smile’) e possuia até fervorosos fãs, no caso do jovem Freddie, amigo pessoal do baixista Tim, que saiu da banda ocasionando o fim do trio.

Foi então que Freddie convenceu May e Taylor a formarem outro grupo. Deacon foi o último a entrar na banda e fechar a formação clássica do ‘Queen’. Mas antes de gravarem o primeiro disco (auto-intitulado), eles gravaram o compacto ‘I Hear Music’ sob o nome ‘Larry Lurex’ (paródia com o astro glam-rock Garry Gliter).

Juntos eles criaram uma marca que perdura até hoje. Após o quarto disco, ‘A Night at the Opera’, a banda alcançou o sucesso mundial e emplacou várias canções no topo das paradas.

Após a morte de Freddie Mercury em 1991 – a banda ainda lançou um álbum póstumo com sobras de estúdio gravadas por Mercury – cada integrante seguiu carreira solo, com exceção de Deacon que hoje vive pacatamente longe dos holofotes da mídia.

May e Taylor se juntaram a outro vocalista, Paul Rodgers, e voltaram a usar nome da banda ‘Queen’. Com o projeto ‘Queen + Paul Rodgers’, eles lançaram um disco ao vivo, ‘Return of the Champions’ – onde tocavam velhos sucessos da banda – e um disco de estúdio, ‘The Cosmos Rocks’.

Essa escolha parece ter sido um tanto óbvia, já que o próprio Mercury usou como referência o estilo de Rodgers (na época vocalista do ‘Bad Company’) para cantar ‘Crazy little thing called love’.
