He was my best friend, my best man. We shared so much and I owe so much to him.”
— Roger Taylor, May 2011
I was fine, until the Galileo happened. IM LAUGHING SO MUCH
Bohemian Rhapsody. Double Speed.
Brian May after talking about how his dad finally accepted him as a musician.
Up until that time, his father thought that Brian had kind of thrown his life away, running away from school to go join a rock band. But then Brian flew over his parents to see Queen play in New York and after the show, Brian’s parents having seen just how much the fan got hyped up and how they sang along and everything, his dad said “Ok. I get it now”
and Brian goes to tears talking about it
and then I burst into tears because feels
Roger Taylor wrecking his drum kit at the end of “Jailhouse Rock” from Queen: Live at the Rainbow ’74
Bonus — The moment before the madness (I’m pretty sure he warns Deaky):
Where are you from? (for the ask thing💕)
I’m from Brazil!!
more handy Queen anecdotes if you ever think they’re a serious band in any way:
1) roger locking himself in a cupboard to get his song as the b-side of bohemian rhapsody
2) freddie throwing a brick through their managers window because he walked off and left him at a restaurant alone #not glam
3) them all getting stuck in a lift because they started jumping up and down having just heard they got their first number 1 single
4) freddie calling his manager to get him out of michael jackson’s house immediately because michael kept bringing his llama into the recording stupid and it freaked him the fuck out and this is genuinely why freddie wasn’t on thriller
5) john coming up with the under pressure bassline then going out for pizza and forgetting it
6) freddie calling sid vicious simon ferocious
7) the new orleans jazz party which no one can actually remember
GOD IS THAT YOU?
You just can’t drive
We rock!
It's not even midnight yet in Brazil. How did BTY hit #1 there? The magic of Brazilian youth?
The Brazilian youth will always find a way.
