Marty Callner, réalisateur réputé de clips musicaux et de comédies télévisées, est décédé à l'âge de 78 ans de causes naturelles. Guns N' Roses a annoncé le départ de son batteur Frank Ferrer, après 19 ans de loyauté au groupe. Le procès de 200 millions de dollars intenté par Limp Bizkit contre Universal Music aura finalement lieu maintenant qu'un juge fédéral a refusé la demande de rejet de l'affaire présentée par le label. Le leader des Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan, et sa compagne Chloé Mendel Corgan ont annoncé la naissance de leur troisième enfant.

I am extremely excited that I have an interview with a true keyboard legend for you today: MARK STANWAY has played for British Rock Band MAGNUM from 1980 to 2016 and has seen it all: Working with star producers like Keith Olsen, Queen's Roger Taylor and Jeff Glixman, world tours with giant stage sets (including the feeling of being pulled up with your keyboard setup like 15 feet in the air), seeing the technology evolve from the times of the Mellotron up to the rise of modern Sampling technology.MARK STANWAY has also worked with Phil Lynott, forming "Grand Slam", has worked with Robert Plant in the "Honeydrippers" and has been in the Lineup of bands like "Stampede" and "M3 Classic Whitesnake". Together with former Magnum members and friends Mark Stanway now plays with his own outfit "Kingdom Of Madness".But his years in Magnum, playing on groundbreaking records like "Chase The Dragon", "On A Storyteller's Night", "Wings of Heaven" and "Goodnight L.A.", which all have been international mega sellers, are probably the defining part of his almost 50 year career as a pro musician.I am extremely honored and proud to be able to bring you this interview with one of the groundbreaking idols of Rock keyboard playing - a true time travel (with Synthesizers!).

Flestum þykir nú gott súkkulaði og sætabrauð og föstudagsgesturinn okkar í dag, hreinlega lifir af því að búa til þetta tvennt fyrir sína kúnna. Viðkomandi er bakari og hefur sérhæft sig í súkkulaðinu og ber jafnvel titilinn súkkulaðimeistari. Hafliði Ragnarsson var föstudagsgesturinn okkar en bakaríið hans er Mosfellsbakarí og var stofnað af foreldrum hans og föðurbróður 1982 og eftir að Hafliði heim frá námi í Danmörku og Frakklandi tók hann við framleiðslustjórn og hóf að framleiða eðalsúkkulaði undir eigin nafni HR konfekt. Við kynntumst Hafliða betur í þættinum, fórum með honum aftur í tímann í sveitina fyrir austan og vestur á Patreksfjörð, frægðardraumana, trommuleikinn og svo auðvitað súkkulaðið. Matarspjallið var ekki á sömu sætu nótunum því eftir að við kvöddum Hafliða tók Sigurlaug Margrét við, ströng á svip, því við flettum í gegnum litlar bækur sem okkur bárust, um þýskan mat. Schnitzel, Pretzel, Currywurst, Bratwurst og fleira í þýsku matarspjalli í dag. Tónlist í þættinum í dag: Fólkið í blokkinni / Eggert Þorleifsson (Ólafur Haukur Símonarson) Careless Memories / Duran Duran (Andy Taylor, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes, Roger Taylor og Simon le Bon) Does Your Mother Know / ABBA (Benny Andersson og Björn Ulvaeus) UMSJÓN GUÐRÚN GUNNARSDÓTTIR OG GUNNAR HANSSON

David is confronted by Roxy's ex.Based on a post by dark overlord 6, in 4 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Connected.The following week David was back at the plant, and discovering that his body was slowly acclimating itself to the earlier schedule since at least he hadn't fallen back to sleep in the car on the way. Roxy had them doing a file purge of all the old requisition forms that were more than three years in the past, and he was sitting cross-legged in front of a filing cabinet with piles of paper lying around him when she came to check on his progress."How is it that you guys haven't digitized any of this crap?" he asked, waving at the stacks."I've been bitching about that for years, but the company has other priorities I guess. Thanks for raising the parenting bar for me by the way.""Huh?" David looked up with a clueless face."All week long it's been, 'I want stories about dragons and princes,' every time I want that toot to go to bed! You know how much bullshit I've had to make up, off the top of my head?""Maybe I could write down some stories for you," offered David with a laugh."I should make you do that, but we have bigger fish to fry. Just keep purging, Paper Boy!"She left him to his work, and Thomas was kind enough to bring him another box from the storage closet brimming with old forms."Thanks;" moaned David unhappily."Anytime! I like to see a guy earning his keep. Think of it a ‘job security.'" said Thomas, with a grin that David instantly wanted to smack off his face.An hour later, cramps in both his legs forced him to take a break. Getting up off the floor for the first time all morning. He was making his way to the security door to visit the bathroom when a booming sound, loud enough to make his ears ring, broke the relative silence of the building; and seconds later the walls rattled as if a God-like hand was shaking it."Holy Crap! It's a fucking meltdown," thought David, seeing his whole short life pass before his eyes and wishing instantly that he had enjoyed way more sex than he had. His brain locked and he couldn't remember a single thing from the safety video he had been shown in orientation. So he did the only thing he could think of, and dove under a nearby desk. As he sat there, shaking and contemplating just how painful death by radiation exposure must be, Roxy's head suddenly appeared from above."So it's loud noises; and spiders?" she asked."Didn't you hear that? Why aren't we evacuating?" asked David in a rush."We aren't evacuating because that wasn't the reactors, Bozo. They're purging excess steam off the turbines. Didn't you watch the orientation video?""I might have fallen asleep during it," admitted David sheepishly."Oh, for Heaven's sake; Just get out from under there before someone sees you cowering like a whipped dog. You keep this up, and they're going to quit calling you 'Spider-Man,' and start calling you, 'Duck and Cover,'""They call me Spider-Man?" ask David to Roxy's back."Don't worry. I wouldn't let them stencil it on your hard hat," she said over her shoulder.David felt a hand on his arm, and he turned to look at Thomas."Hey! 'Duck and Cover,' want me to bring you another box?""This day just keeps getting better;" muttered David as he shrugged off the hand and went in search of the restroom.Thankfully, the afternoon that followed was free of embarrassing moments, and the approach of the final whistle was a welcome relief. David had placed the last of the file boxes back in the closet, the contents much reduced in size from when he had started, when Roxy came walking up, looking slightly uncomfortable."David; I was wondering if I could ask you another favor?""Uh; Yeah, sure.""Feel free to say 'No,' it isn't a big deal," Roxy started to say, making David wonder what was going on since he had never seen Roxy Doyle beat around the bush ever."Okay," he said, looking suspicious at what was coming next."See; The thing is, Emily has called me three times today because she is doing this play at day camp, and; uh; she keeps asking if you'll come.""Oh," said David in surprise, not expecting this at all."As I said, don't feel obligated or anything I just had to ask;" Roxy said, expecting him to decline."No; I mean, it's fine I'd love to go." David said with casual resolve."Are you sure? We aren't talking a Broadway musical here.""I get it. It's fine. I wouldn't want to let Emily down.""You wouldn't be the first;" she said under her breath."Excuse me?" He inquired."Never mind. It's at 6:30; I'll text you the address."Emily's day camp was actually in an old Methodist church near the apartment complex where she and Roxy resided. David arrived a bit late, having gotten caught in traffic, but he found that Roxy had saved him a seat right alongside a rather rotund, older, gray-haired woman who turned out to be Emily's regular babysitter, Mrs. Foster."Emily speaks very highly of you," whispered Mrs. Foster as she shook his hand."Thanks," David replied taking a seat.The skit was short and sweet, based on a parable that David remembered well from school about a lion with a thorn in its paw. Emily played the part of the girl that removed the thorn and did it with quite a bit of talent as far as David was concerned. He clapped along with the other parents while the kids took their bows like real professionals.Afterward, the adults filed outside to await the release of their children."I think you have a future Academy Award winner on your hands," said David."I should be so lucky. If she makes it big, maybe she will buy me a house, and I can retire," said Roxy.The smile that adorned her face fell a second later, though; when something over David's shoulder drew her gaze."Shit;" she grumbled, moving to the parking lot."What?" asked David, but she was already passed him with a head of steam up."Todd," said Mrs. Foster from where she stood nearby."Her ex-husband? Todd?""The same. Roxy told him about this, and he said he would come, but he is late as usual. At least he showed up at all."David took a few steps closer, not wanting to look like he was trying to eavesdrop, but dying of curiosity at the same time. He got close enough he could make out their conversation."I said 6:30, Todd. Did they not have a clock in the bar?""Hey! I just got stuck at work, that's all. Totally not my fault.""Bullshit! I can smell the beer on you from here.""Okay, so I stopped for one lousy beer to take the edge off a long day. It's not the end of the world, so don't make a Federal case out of it.""One beer, Todd! I think it was a lot more than one, and anyway, you missed the whole damn thing.""What? Huh? I guess it took longer than I thought, but at most, it was two beers okay? Where is Emily? I want to see her.""Not when you've been drinking. I've told you that before!""Give me a break! You don't have to be a bitch every day of your life, you know!"David felt a bolt of anger shoot through him, and before he even realized he was going to do it, he was by Roxy's side facing her ex-husband. Todd was shorter than him by a good four inches, but broader across the chest with tattoos adorning both arms and reeking of cheap malt liquor."Is there a problem?" he asked, glaring at the shorter man."It's fine, David," said Roxy in a tight voice."Who the Hell is this, Roxy?""This is David. We work together."Todd looked him up and down then turned his head to spit a gob of phlegm onto the pavement, "Jesus, Roxy, you dating grade school kids now?"David started to snap a comeback, but Roxy beat him to it."Let me tell you something! This kid is already more of a man than you'll ever be, Todd. At least he was here for your daughter, which is more than I can say for you!""Whatever; Take some advice, Kid. Enjoy the tits and then run. She'll make your life Hell if you stick around too long."It ended up being David that had to hold Roxy back as she tried to kick Todd who beat a hasty retreat, jumping on his motorcycle and roaring off in a cloud of exhaust."Easy there, Tyson. I think your opponent has left the ring," said David as he let her go."Mother Fucker!"She turned a complete circle in place, finally shaking her shoulders and groaning in defeat."Man! I don't know what I ever saw in that prick!""Couldn't have been his winning personality," deadpanned David.Roxy looked at him, still huffing and puffing in anger, then let out a laugh shaking her head."Come on! Let's get some ice cream! I need a sugar fix!"It had been a while since the last time David had been in a booth at Farley's Ice Cream Parlor, and this was nothing like the crowd he usually had with him. On one side of the table sat a seven-year-old girl with more ice cream on her face than in her mouth, while next to her was a large older woman making a massacre of her dessert. Next to him, Roxy was pressed almost uncomfortably close in the tiny booth, close enough he could feel the heat coming off her skin, and it made him more than a little nervous."Something wrong with your ice cream?" asked Roxy noticing that David had only taken a few bites."It's good. I'm just watching my weight. Got to protect this girlish figure," he said which sent Emily into a fit of giggles.Mrs. Foster and Roxy joined in, and soon, the whole table was filled with the sounds of their mirth.David looked around the restaurant, happy that it appeared they had arrived on a night when Heather wasn't working. He wasn't ready to deal with seeing her again at this point. The mall was reasonably quiet for a weeknight. They had the ice cream parlor mostly to themselves, although the food court across from them seemed to still be doing a brisk business. There were quite a few teenagers and college-age kids roaming around the multiple available food options; either standing around talking or sitting at the many open tables, sharing French fries and gossip in equal measure. As David looked on, the crowd parted near the sandwich shop, and his spoon stopped in mid-air."What's wrong," asked Roxy, "you having a brain-freeze?""Heather;" was all he said.The gap in the crowd had revealed a table where it seemed as if every friend David had, was sitting around. Right in the middle of the group sat Heather with Alex by her side, his arm draped around her shoulders."So that's the infamous Heather. I thought she'd be taller," commented Roxy."Whose Heather?" asked Mrs. Foster."His old girlfriend," said Roxy."Why, she's a lovely girl." Was Mrs. Foster's first impression."She cheated on him with another guy.""Dirty hussy;" amended Mrs. Foster."You should go say hello," counseled Roxy between bites of her desert."You're nuts! I don't want to talk to her." David protested."Come on, David. Be the bigger person. You guys were together for three years. Don't you at least want to see if she's pining for you?""How will I be able to tell?""You'll know. Just watch her eyes.""I don't know;" said David waffling, but Roxy elbowed him in the side, forcing him out of the booth."Fine; Fine," he said, fidgeting his hands together and trying to still his racing heart."If this goes badly, I'm blaming you," said David as he moved off toward the food court.The closer he got to his group of friends, the more he thought this had been a horrible idea. But once they spotted him, there was no turning back."Hey Guys!" he said, stepping into their midst.

David is confronted by Roxy's ex.Based on a post by dark overlord 6, in 4 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Connected.The following week David was back at the plant, and discovering that his body was slowly acclimating itself to the earlier schedule since at least he hadn't fallen back to sleep in the car on the way. Roxy had them doing a file purge of all the old requisition forms that were more than three years in the past, and he was sitting cross-legged in front of a filing cabinet with piles of paper lying around him when she came to check on his progress."How is it that you guys haven't digitized any of this crap?" he asked, waving at the stacks."I've been bitching about that for years, but the company has other priorities I guess. Thanks for raising the parenting bar for me by the way.""Huh?" David looked up with a clueless face."All week long it's been, 'I want stories about dragons and princes,' every time I want that toot to go to bed! You know how much bullshit I've had to make up, off the top of my head?""Maybe I could write down some stories for you," offered David with a laugh."I should make you do that, but we have bigger fish to fry. Just keep purging, Paper Boy!"She left him to his work, and Thomas was kind enough to bring him another box from the storage closet brimming with old forms."Thanks;" moaned David unhappily."Anytime! I like to see a guy earning his keep. Think of it a ‘job security.'" said Thomas, with a grin that David instantly wanted to smack off his face.An hour later, cramps in both his legs forced him to take a break. Getting up off the floor for the first time all morning. He was making his way to the security door to visit the bathroom when a booming sound, loud enough to make his ears ring, broke the relative silence of the building; and seconds later the walls rattled as if a God-like hand was shaking it."Holy Crap! It's a fucking meltdown," thought David, seeing his whole short life pass before his eyes and wishing instantly that he had enjoyed way more sex than he had. His brain locked and he couldn't remember a single thing from the safety video he had been shown in orientation. So he did the only thing he could think of, and dove under a nearby desk. As he sat there, shaking and contemplating just how painful death by radiation exposure must be, Roxy's head suddenly appeared from above."So it's loud noises; and spiders?" she asked."Didn't you hear that? Why aren't we evacuating?" asked David in a rush."We aren't evacuating because that wasn't the reactors, Bozo. They're purging excess steam off the turbines. Didn't you watch the orientation video?""I might have fallen asleep during it," admitted David sheepishly."Oh, for Heaven's sake; Just get out from under there before someone sees you cowering like a whipped dog. You keep this up, and they're going to quit calling you 'Spider-Man,' and start calling you, 'Duck and Cover,'""They call me Spider-Man?" ask David to Roxy's back."Don't worry. I wouldn't let them stencil it on your hard hat," she said over her shoulder.David felt a hand on his arm, and he turned to look at Thomas."Hey! 'Duck and Cover,' want me to bring you another box?""This day just keeps getting better;" muttered David as he shrugged off the hand and went in search of the restroom.Thankfully, the afternoon that followed was free of embarrassing moments, and the approach of the final whistle was a welcome relief. David had placed the last of the file boxes back in the closet, the contents much reduced in size from when he had started, when Roxy came walking up, looking slightly uncomfortable."David; I was wondering if I could ask you another favor?""Uh; Yeah, sure.""Feel free to say 'No,' it isn't a big deal," Roxy started to say, making David wonder what was going on since he had never seen Roxy Doyle beat around the bush ever."Okay," he said, looking suspicious at what was coming next."See; The thing is, Emily has called me three times today because she is doing this play at day camp, and; uh; she keeps asking if you'll come.""Oh," said David in surprise, not expecting this at all."As I said, don't feel obligated or anything I just had to ask;" Roxy said, expecting him to decline."No; I mean, it's fine I'd love to go." David said with casual resolve."Are you sure? We aren't talking a Broadway musical here.""I get it. It's fine. I wouldn't want to let Emily down.""You wouldn't be the first;" she said under her breath."Excuse me?" He inquired."Never mind. It's at 6:30; I'll text you the address."Emily's day camp was actually in an old Methodist church near the apartment complex where she and Roxy resided. David arrived a bit late, having gotten caught in traffic, but he found that Roxy had saved him a seat right alongside a rather rotund, older, gray-haired woman who turned out to be Emily's regular babysitter, Mrs. Foster."Emily speaks very highly of you," whispered Mrs. Foster as she shook his hand."Thanks," David replied taking a seat.The skit was short and sweet, based on a parable that David remembered well from school about a lion with a thorn in its paw. Emily played the part of the girl that removed the thorn and did it with quite a bit of talent as far as David was concerned. He clapped along with the other parents while the kids took their bows like real professionals.Afterward, the adults filed outside to await the release of their children."I think you have a future Academy Award winner on your hands," said David."I should be so lucky. If she makes it big, maybe she will buy me a house, and I can retire," said Roxy.The smile that adorned her face fell a second later, though; when something over David's shoulder drew her gaze."Shit;" she grumbled, moving to the parking lot."What?" asked David, but she was already passed him with a head of steam up."Todd," said Mrs. Foster from where she stood nearby."Her ex-husband?

No dia da rádio uma música sobre rádio: Radio Gaga, dos Queen. Foi escrita por Roger Taylor, o baterista , uma música incluída LP The Works, de 1984. Pelo meio referências à rádio, como a célebre Guerra dos Mundos de Orson Welles. Queen | The works (LP) | 1984 | Radio Gaga

Au début des années 80, le succès démesuré de Queen conduit le groupe à prendre une seconde résidence à Los Angeles qui est devenue la capitale mondiale de l'industrie du disque. A part Freddie qui préfère loger à dans un célèbre hôtel d'Hollywood, c'est comme ça qu'il va faire la connaissance de  Michael Jackson. L'histoire est mal connue en dehors de deux trois phrases reprises en titre par la presse people, je vous raconte. Malgré les ventes phénoménales du single Another bites the dust et de ses petits frères, les rapports entre les membres de Queen sont devenus très compliqués. Roger Taylor, le batteur mais aussi chanteur, le beau mec du groupe, frustré par l'absorption de toute la lumière par Freddie, est le premier à sortir en 1981 un album solo sur lequel il joue de tous les instruments. Un bon disque mais quel échec à côté du triomphal Greatest Hits de Queen qui sort en même temps. Puis c'est Brian May qui y va de son disque de blues, il ne se sent pas du tout en phase avec le hip hop rapporté par Freddie de New York.Alors quand ce dernier reçoit l'invitation de Michael Jackson de le rejoindre en studio pour faire des essais ensemble en vue d'un disque, il accepte. Clairement, Mercury a décidé de prendre ses distances avec Queen : après dix années de disques et tournées, sans doute l'aventure est-elle arrivée à son terme ? Quand on regarde les Beatles, Deep Purple, dix ans, c'est un bail ! L'échec de leur nouvel album Hot Space ne serait-il pas un avertissement, celui d'arrêter tant qu'il en est encore temps, juste avant la chute. Et un duo avec Michael Jackson dont le Thriller est en tête des ventes mondiales, c'est le meilleur moyen de démarrer une carrière solo avec succès. Mais voilà, après quelques premières bonnes sessions, Freddie n'arrive plus à sortir Michael du ranch qu'il vient d'acheter et dans lequel il s'enferme au milieu de ses trophées. Et surtout de sa ménagerie et de sa collection d'art, comment dire, pour reprendre la phrase de Freddie : Avoir autant d'argent et aussi peu de goût, c'est inutile.Le temps passe, Freddie enregistre finalement son album solo qui ne rencontre pas le succès escompté, loin s'en faut, et de se rendre à l'évidence : Freddie Mercury sans Queen n'a pas la même saveur. Sans doute est-ce la raison pour laquelle Michael Jackson n'ira pas plus loin, enregistrant les deux titres sur lesquels ils ont travaillé avec Mick Jagger et encore, pas en solo mais pour les Jacksons. Il est alors question de collaborations entre Freddie et Rod Stewart, Freddie et Elton John, tous deux au sommet des classements mais là encore, rien ne sort. De toutes ces déceptions viendra le nouveau départ, inattendu et miraculeux, de Queen au Live Aid. La suite est connue, ils mettront leurs jalousies et carrières solos définitivement de côté et ils auront bien raison : ces quatre hommes étaient plus grands ensemble et le seront pour toujours dans l'Histoire et la nôtre.

La influencia y cotas de emoción que sigue generando Queen no son una mera casualidad. Tampoco lo es el hecho que Brian May y Roger Taylor, por más que lo intentan, no logran – ni lograrán – revivir el viejo espíritu melódico y transgresor. Freddie Mercury era la llama de la banda, el carisma, el compositor lírico y sin duda la mejor voz de la historia del rock & roll. Deseamos darnos una vuelta por la obra de Queen, y les compartimos nuestro ranking de toda su discografía, de peor a mejor, por supuesto sólo con Freddie a la voz (nada de Paul Rodgers ni mucho menos del histrionismo de Adam Lambert). Presenta Ricardo Portman.

Tra i dischi che compiono 50 anni in questo 2025 c'è anche quello che viene considerato all'unanimità il disco della definitiva maturazione e consacrazione dei Queen: "A Night At The Opera". L'album in cui Freddie Mercury si esalta, dando libero sfogo alla sua voglia di stupire e di non porsi limiti, e soprattutto ai suoi gusti.Dentro c'è di tutto: dall'hard-rock al folk, passando per il vaudeville e l'operetta. Un frullato impazzito di generi musicali, frutto della straordinaria vena creativa di Mercury in quel momento.Gli ho dedicato un episodio per intero... Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/swing_out_faber/Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2yxp5xCApple: https://apple.co/2WAUcjKSpreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/show/suono-ma-nessuno-apreGrafica di Daris Nardini: https://instagram.com/thedarside?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Sigla iniziale: "Suono Ma Nessuno Apre" by Michele PoggiBase: "Remember The Stars - Jazz" by Danosongs - https://danosongs.com

Découvrez l'histoire derrière l'un des plus grands tubes de Queen, "Radio Gaga". Bien que cette chanson soit l'un des morceaux les plus célèbres du groupe, elle n'a pourtant pas été écrite par Freddie Mercury ou Brian May, mais par le batteur Roger Taylor.Lassé d'entendre toujours les mêmes chansons tournées en boucle à la radio, Roger Taylor a décidé de créer un hymne pour exprimer son ressenti. Il avait même envisagé d'appeler la chanson "Radio Kaka", une référence amusante à son fils d'origine française qui utilisait ce terme enfantin. Finalement, il a opté pour "Radio Gaga", un titre tout aussi ironique qui fait écho à l'uniformisation musicale de l'époque.Symbole du changement de style de Queen au milieu des années 80, avec l'utilisation de synthétiseurs et de boîtes à rythme, "Radio Gaga" s'inspire également d'un autre média en pleine expansion : MTV. En effet, la chaîne musicale ne cessait de diffuser en boucle les mêmes clips, alimentant la frustration de Roger Taylor. Ironiquement, MTV finira par se mettre à passer en boucle le clip de "Radio Gaga", une vidéo qui rend hommage au film culte "Metropolis" de Fritz Lang.Véritable hymne à la liberté d'expression musicale, "Radio Gaga" est devenue l'un des morceaux les plus emblématiques de Queen. Son célèbre refrain a même inspiré le pseudonyme de la chanteuse Lady Gaga quelques années plus tard.

Bohemian Rhapsody was released on November 3, 2018, and the fascinating story behind one of the most influential groups ever continues to be unbelievably popular. However, some things shown in the movie kinda differ from the truth. TIMESTAMPS: The creators built an exact copy of Wembley Stadium for the movie 1:05 The Pepsi glasses you can see on the piano weren't a product placement 1:39 Queen didn't have any doubts about performing at Live Aid 2:17 Some of the vocal recordings for the film were done by Marc Martel 2:58 Mike Myers had previously appeared in a film listening to “Bohemian Rhapsody” 3:41 Queen didn't break the contract with EMI 4:20 Bohemian Rhapsody should've been directed by someone else 4:45 Freddie became a part of the band through Tim Staffell 5:12 “We Will Rock You” was written much earlier 6:04 Freddie Mercury wasn't the only one who tried to go solo 6:39 Freddie Mercury didn't know he was sick until 1987 7:29 The official soundtrack includes previously unreleased songs 8:24 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: The director of Live Aid was present during filming and was pleasantly surprised with how precise the reconstruction was. Some people pointed out that the creators added some very visible Pepsi product placement in the movie during the Live Aid scene. If you watch the original performance, you'll see these glasses on Mercury's piano too. But the true story is way less poetic than that. The pause in Queen's work didn't last for more than a year. Plus, in February 1984 they released a new album called The Works. Several years ago, Marc sent his cover versions of Queen songs to guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. They were amazed by the similarities between Marc's voice and Freddie's. The actor, famous for his many roles, including Austin Powers, already listened to and even sang “Bohemian Rhapsody” in character in the movie Wayne's World! Queen did have some disagreements with EMI during the Night at the Opera era. Still, everything seemed to turn out all right since the band released many more albums with this label. The first person to take the director's chair was Bryan Singer, and he was actively working on the movie almost from the start. But 20th Century Fox decided to fire him. In the movie, we see Freddie meeting Roger and Brian after a concert when their frontman, Tim Staffell, decides to leave the project. But it wasn't exactly like that in real life. In real life, “We Will Rock You” appeared in Queen's hit album News of the World back in 1977 — several years before the actual concert. Pretty much every participant of Queen was trying to make their own solo albums work! The official soundtrack of the movie contains not only several famous songs we all know by heart but another 11 recordings that had not been released!

Queen es una banda británica de rock formada en 1970 en Londres, integrada originalmente por el cantante y pianista Freddie Mercury, el guitarrista Brian May, el baterista Roger Taylor y el bajista John Deacon (el cual llegaría un año después al grupo para completar la formación clásica). Sus primeros trabajos estuvieron influenciados por el rock progresivo y el hard rock, pero la banda se aventuró gradualmente en trabajos más convencionales y amigables con la radio, incorporando más estilos como el arena rock y el pop rock.

Chrissy is back! In celebration we dive into Queen's 1974 album *Sheer Heart Attack,* an electrifying mix of glam rock and hard-hitting guitar riffs that defined the band's signature style. We explore tracks like “Killer Queen” and “Stone Cold Crazy,” discuss the band's evolving sound, and examine how *Sheer Heart Attack* set Queen on their path to becoming rock legends.

Cliff Drysdale is a preeminent voice in tennis broadcasting, but his commentary skill on television is just the latest chapter in a career that touches all aspects of the sport. Starting at a very young age in South Africa, Drysdale was a self-taught competitor who played alongside and claimed victories against some of the best in tennis history. In 1968, Drysdale became one of the founding members of World Championship Tennis known as the Handsome Eight. With host Chris Bowers, he discusses the early days of professional tennis, and how it was firstly an opportunity for him to continue playing the game he loved. When the ATP began in 1972 as representation for the growing body of professional players, Drysdale was named President, and talks about how he stumbled into the role. For him, the start of the pro era was less about consciously changing the game, and more about the common sense of including players in decisions.Cliff Drysdale captured the 1972 US Open title with Roger Taylor, and was a finalist at the 1965 U.S. Nationals in singles. He captured 23 career titles in singles, rising to a career-high ranking of world No. 4 in 1965. As a member of World Championship Tennis, he advanced to three WCT Finals, and was a leading figure in the ATP's Wimbledon boycott in 1973. He has commentated for ESPN for more than 30 years, since the network's first tennis broadcast in 1979. He was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in the Contributor Category in 2013.

We first brought you Roger Taylor's story in November 2020. When we first aired Roger's story, we knew he was missing under strange circumstances. Roger was disabled, and the people at Roger's home on the day he vanished had told some peculiar tales that didn't seem to add up for someone in Roger's condition. Roger's daughter said she had received a text from her father's phone saying he was lost and stuck. Later his car was found abandoned on a dead-end road. Where could Roger have gone? How far could he have made it considering his limited mobility? These questions lingered, and rumors swirled around the small town where Roger lived. And then, in August of 2022, a man turned himself in to police and told them he had murdered Roger in 2019. When we heard this man's name, we recognized it. He was someone that Roger's family had told us about in interviews. He told authorities that he had turned his life around, found God, and was ready to confess to what he had done. But today, some believe there is still more to this story waiting to be exposed.If you have any information about the disappearance of Roger Taylor, please call the Monroe County Sheriff's Department at 662-369-2468.This episode was sponsored by:Hungryroot- Get 30% off your first delivery and free veggies for life at Hungryroot.com/VANISHED.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
