![]() 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are the Champions' have kind of transcended the normal framework of where music is listened to and appreciated - they've become part of public life, which I feel wonderful about. It's wonderful for me to see what "We Will Rock You" has done. I didn't realize that it would translate to sports games. enjoying the fact that an audience is united. "I was thinking of it more as a rock anthem and a means of uniting an audience. May, now the chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University, recently oversaw the remastering of several Queen albums. His interest in the early 3-D photographs led to the publication of a second book, A Village Lost and Found, which depicts life in a small English village at the beginning of the 1850s. May tells Terry Gross that, while traveling the world with Queen, he would often stop in antique stores on the road to look for stereoscopic photographs. His book on the subject, Bang! The Complete History of the Universe, was released in 2006. In 2007, May earned a doctorate from Imperial after completing his dissertation on interplanetary dust. "I was thinking, 'What can you give an audience that they could do while they're standing there? They can stamp and they can clap and they can sing some kind of chant,' " he says. May went home that night and says he woke up the next morning with the "stomp stomp clap" line in his head. (A more detailed explanation exists in interview highlights below, but he constructed the stomps based on a series of distances based on prime numbers.) He gave it up to hit the road with Queen, but his background in physics helped the band in the recording studio: In "We Will Rock You," for example, he designed the sound of the famous "stomp stomp clap" section - in order to make it sound like thousands of people were stomping and clapping - based on his knowledge of sound waves and distances. Before Queen made it big, May was studying astrophysics at Imperial College in London. May, who played the guitar solo in "We Are the Champions," also sang the bass parts in Queen's rock opera "Bohemian Rhapsody" and penned the classic anthem "We Will Rock You." He's on Rolling Stone's list of the Top 100 guitarists ever.īut May's interests aren't limited to the rock world. I also thought it was brave of freddie show his fans his feelings.The Picture Show Secret Stereographs: Brian May Of Queen Reveals A Pastimeīrian May, the lead guitarist in the British glam-rock band Queen, is a modern-day renaissance man.Įighteen of his albums with Queen have topped the charts, selling more than 300 million copies worldwide. I thought that it was cool with freddie showing his feelings in the song. The song was also inspired by what was in Freddy and Brian's life. There was a reference from queens song Bicycle race of fat bottomed girls in it. According to Brian May (Queen Guitarist) Freddie wrote this song because he liked fat bottomed girls or boys. ![]() I think it was good for a rock and roll band to use a different language that nobody pays attention to.įat bottomed girls was about Freddie just have no care at all about himself. Mustapha theme of the song is what I think caught a lot of people's attention of exotic rhythm and use of Arabic words. I think all of the Queen fans out there where surprised when Queen played Mustapha. It was definitely awkward for queen to play a song with Arabic music and singing in Arabic language to be sung by a British rock and roll band. One thing that I like is that they mixed Arabic music with rock and roll. Mustpha is a funny song because freddie uses his amazing vocals to copy Muezzins shriek from the LP opening song. Don't stop me now is an inspirational song for people3 that have a hard time with things like people with ADHD. Don't stop me now is also a good song for videos on sports videos like a cross country video of your school or a video. Or for me it would help when I am running cross country and here ̈ Don't stop me now.̈ but for other people it might be with any sport. he was inspired after seeing the Tour de france go by his hotel.ĭon't ́t stop me now was a good encouragement song he made for people to have a fight song. When he wrote bicycle race he was in france. He also says, ́ ́I seen every blue eyed floozy on the way, hey ̈ meaning that he was talking to every girl he saw. With Fat Bottomed girls he talks about that he knew about life before he came out of nursery meaning that he knew what he was going to do with his life. With Mustapha he starts with coping Muezzins shriek then it goes into Arabic music. With the song Don't stop me now empowers the queen community by showing that freddie is throwing caution away by saying ́ ́ I am a satellite, I ́m out of control ́ ́. ̈ ̈Don't ́t Stop Me Now ̈, and ̈Fat Bottom Girls ̈ were two of their best songs. Jazz is one of the best choices for Queen to make.
