‘70s
- every song is an epic with twelve movements and 85 key changes
- occasional operatic shrieking is not uncommon
- hope you’re not a beginner musician because haha good luck buddy
- there’s a bass player but we’re not really sure if he actually exists
- all the songs that your drunk friend tries to cover at karaoke come from this decade so get ready for that
- oh yeah everyone in the band is smarter than you so keep a dictionary handy
- sparkly costumes
‘80s (more like ‘80-’91)
- Mainstream ‘80s Pop Rock™
- hey in case you didn’t know freddie mercury was gay here’s hot space which is essentially 40 minutes of club music
- everyone kinda broke off and did solo projects and none of them were good (yes i’m sorry brian even you kinda sucked)
- okay barcelona was a good song but that’s like the best thing to come out of queen solo albums
- hey remember that bass player? he totally exists and he’s in full force
- still quiet tho
- remember the time in 85 when mtv stopped playing queen because they dressed in drag in one of their videos
- there’s a mustache now
- the “no synths” rule is broken so hard
- like i don’t even think they might be giants used as many synthesizers in their first 10 years as queen did in 1984 alone
- 11/24/1991 never forget
oh yeah and the band i guess
freddie
- sings higher than you
- sings lower than you
- dresses better than you
- just wants to be left alone with his cats
brian
- curly hair guitar man
- stereotypical proper brit
- sad
- savior of badgers
roger
- prettier than you
- the best soprano you’ll ever meet
- acts all tough and badass to compensate for his natural femininity
- writes about Teenage Angst despite being well out of college
john
- elusive bass player
- might not actually have a voice
- hasn’t done anything wrong
- help him
Released today on 25th January, 1980 was Save Me, Queen’s second single from The Game.
I hope someone burned that jacket Brian’s wearing. It’s really the kindest thing to do for a monstrosity like that.
I tried to draw a deacy and I hecked it up
That isn’t heck’d. It’s adorable. :D It’s bowtie deaks!
