Review

Lovingly created, visually engaging 3-D-illustrated book ... Queen In 3-D, as well as providing the closest thing to a completely nonghost-written Brian May autobiography we're ever likely to get, chronicles (with the aid of numerous beautifully restored and reproduced shots from May s own archive that can be viewed with a specially designed and included OWL stereoscope) the author's journey from childhood experiments, with his ever-ingenious Red Special designer dad, to the publication of the book itself. A singularly engaging trip that incorporates his entire Queen career along the way. --Classic Rock

Queen guitarist Brian May is set to delight fans with the release of a new book, which includes never-seen-before images of the group from his personal photo archive. Many of the book's 300 images were captured on various stereoscopic cameras that were carried by the rock legend during the height of the band's fame. May said of the collection, which he describes as a 'labour of love': 'As I looked at the 3-D photos, memories were triggered and the stories poured out. 'It's the 3-D element that makes it so evocative. I believe each image will draw readers in deeper, like me, inviting them to immerse themselves in a scene, to share a previously unseen Queen moment.' The book is the first of its kind to be published by a member of the band on the band and was put together with the help of Denis Pellerin, stereoscopic historian, and official Queen archivist, Greg Brooks. --MailOnline

May, whose perspective from the inside of Queen is expanded on in his new memoir (augmented by stereoscopic photography) Queen In 3D, brings out unsung sides of Mercury, especially as a composer and arranger of hard rock. --Mojo

In this video we look at how to play on acoustic guitar Body Language by Queen



"Body Language" (printed as "Body Language ↑⬱") is a 1982 dance/funk song by British rock band Queen. It was written by the band's lead singer Freddie Mercury and was a hit in North America, where it received extensive radio play. However, the single only received a lukewarm response in the United Kingdom. The track was the second single released from their 1982 album Hot Space. The music video for the song was the first one to be banned from MTV for its nudity, despite the members of Queen being fully clothed.



The massive success of "Another One Bites the Dust" inspired Queen to temporarily abandon their glam and experimental rock roots in the early 1980s, and experiment with disco, funk and soul music. "Body Language" and its parent album Hot Space were the results of this change. "Body Language" is notable for its near lack of guitar; atmospheric guitar chords sparingly dot the body of the song, while a brief two-note riff is heard during the fade out. The song's key feature was its minimal, sparse production, with the emphasis of "suggestive" lyrics, a "slinky" synth bass (played on an Oberheim OB-X), and writer Freddie Mercury's moans and groans. This song was played twice during the European Leg, with the first performance being in Vienna on 13 May. It often got a lukewarm reaction, although the live arrangement was much different from the studio. The song was played much more frequently on the U.S leg, where the song achieved more commercial success.



The full title of the song, as printed both on the single and Hot Space album sleeve, is "Body Language ↑⬱". The usage and pronunciation of the arrows was never explained by any member of Queen, though the arrows did show up as part of the single's cover art and in its video, where they were painted on the bodies of models, while Freddie Mercury also wore shirts and a white leather jacket during the album's ensuing tour that had similar arrow designs.

The drastic change caused the single to stall[citation needed] at #25 on the UK charts. However, it did far better in the US, where Americans appeared to be a lot more supportive of Queen's forays into dance music. "Body Language" peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number thirty on the soul chart. The B-side is "Life Is Real (Song for Lennon)", this single was released just a little over a year after the assassination of the former Beatle.

In the US the accompanying music video caused a considerable amount of controversy. Due to its erotic undertones plus lots of skin and lots of sweat, it was deemed unsuitable for a television audience in 1982. The music video parodied that of Buggles' "Video Killed The Radio Star" by being memorably announced as the 'first ever music video to be banned from MTV'. It holds the Guinness World Record for it. (Buggles' music video was announced as the first ever music video to promote the station's launch, followed by the video for Pat Benatar's "You Better Run".)

In a Rolling Stone magazine review, critic John Milward described the song as "a piece of funk that isn't fun'

Queen - News Of The World - 40th Anniversary Edition

Queen - News Of The World - 40th Anniversary Edition

Pre Order link: https://queen.lnk.to/NOTW40

Set for release on November 17th 2017 Queen are releasing a 40th Anniversary News Of The World album Box Set

Queen always produce quality products and this looks every bit of what we've come to expect from a Queen release.

There's going to be a limited edition vinyl picture disc only available from pre-order

At a price tag of £112 what do we get?

The new package includes the original album on CD, plus two further CDs of recently unearthed out-takes and rarities from the band's archives, one of which is a newly created ‘alternative’ version of the whole album – Raw Sessions.

A big highlight I'm looking forward to is Freddie Mercury vocals on a track that nobody outside Queen’s inner circle has heard him sing before at all – Brian May’s All Dead, All Dead.  The original album version features May himself on vocals. Roger Taylor’s Sheer Heart Attack can be heard with its original long-lost guitar intro and uncut ending.

The third CD has many tracks available else where but such as the BBC sessions found on the Queen Air release

The packagehas one-hour DVD documentary, Queen : The American Dream, created from backstage material filmed during Queen’s 1977 USA News of the World tour.  In November that year, Queen embarked on another headlining US tour.  

The highly respected British radio and TV presenter Bob Harris, complete with full film crew, followed their journey as part of a proposed documentary that has remained incomplete and unreleased – until now.  The crew had unlimited access to the band on and off stage, in the recording studio and during rehearsals.  

This one-hour documentary includes superb live footage of Queen at the Houston Summit in December.  

Many fans would have liked to have seen the release of Houston 1977 full concert but I guess we can't have everything.

Included is also a 60 page book full of unreleased pictures

Brian May - Driven By You - Guitar Solo Tutorial (Guitar Tab)

Brian May - Driven By You - Guitar Solo Tutorial (Guitar Tab)

In this video lesson with guitar tablature we look at the solo from Brian May hit song Driven By You "Driven by You" is a song by Queen's lead guitarist Brian May. It was written as part of his 1992 solo album, Back to the Light. It was released as a single in late 1991, peaking at #6 on the UK Singles Chart and #9 on the US Besides the original album/single version, there are three other known studio versions of the song. One was used in a Ford commercial. The second is an instrumental remix of the song, called Driven by You Two. The other known version of this song has a new drum track from Cozy Powell as a bonus track on the US release of Back to the Light. Shortly before releasing it as single, May played it on the Guitar Legends concert in October 1991, having a super-group backing him: Cozy Powell on drums, Neil Murray on bass, Steve Vai on rhythm guitar, Rick Wakeman and Mike Moran on keyboards, Maggie Ryder, Miriam Stockley and Chris Thompson on backing vocals. Many fans think this song is dedicated to Freddie Mercury because of the lyrics and the song title Driven by You. It was released on 6 November 1991, just 18 days before the death of May's bandmate Freddie Mercury. It was used by the Ford Motor Company in advertisements for the Ford Probe and for the Ford Escort RS Cosworth, in which Miki Biasion (a Ford rally driver at the time) compared his rally car to the road-going version.
