What is the background music in Anta's advertisement? Classic ...
Queen's classic song "We are champions".
No crime
And serious mistakes
I made a few
I've been kicked in the face
But I've got through it.
We are champions-my friends.
We will continue fighting until the end.
We are the champion
We are the champion
No time for losers
Because we are world champions.
I have taken my bow.
My curtain call
You brought me fame and wealth.
And everything that comes with it
I thank all of you.
But this is not a good night.
No happy cruise
I think this is a challenge for all mankind.
I won't lose.
Win, win, win.
We are champions-my friends.
We will continue fighting until the end.
We are the champion
We are the champion
No time for losers
Because we are world champions.
Few bands can fully reflect the richness of the world rock stage in the 1970 s like QUEEN. QUEEN is like a variety hall, which perfectly combines gorgeous rock, progressive rock, classical music and heavy metals in one furnace. This four-person band from Britain is committed to exploring the artistic style of gorgeous exaggeration (and homosexuality) and creating a rock form with strong opera color. The lead singer is as sexy as a choir voice, and the layered keyboard and gorgeous guitar solo are their signature. The queen's music is extraordinary in imagination, magnificent, with a touch of strangeness and changeable in style. You can hear the shadow of almost all European music forms (traditional and modern) from their music. But QUEEN's vast music is actually expressed in a traditional rock-and-roll way. Over the years, their albums have always claimed that they have never used synthesizers, faithfully retaining the characteristics of hard rock bands in Led Zeppelin's time. Although the band began to try more keyboards in the 1980s, they have never been exposed to electronic music, because electronic music is despised by those "real rock" bands.
It is worth mentioning that because the lead singer Freddie Mercury is a complete homosexual, the overall style of the band tends to be luxurious, and the arrangement often imitates the gorgeous atmosphere of classical music, which is reflected in their famous song Bohemian Rhapsody. Mercury is a flashy homosexual. He always engaged in indecent behavior in the bathroom until 1992 died of AIDS. His sexual attitude is fully reflected in Queen's music, which can be seen from their obscure lyrics. Ironically, the Queen's hymn about homosexuality "We Are Champions" has become a classic celebration track to promote sportsmanship and Olympic champions. Until now, we can often hear this song in various sports events-but it is also due to the legendary life of Mercury and the opera-colored stage performance, which made QUEEN one of the most widely known bands in the mid-1970s. In Britain, until the mid-1990s, QUEEN was still a rock band with popularity and popularity second only to the Beatles.
Although QUEEN's reputation is very famous, it seems that they rarely get praise from music critics and the media. Constant criticism did not diminish the queen's reputation. Even until the late 1980s, QUEEN still had a large number of fans outside the United States. In the United States, the peak of the band was in the early 1980s, that is, after they released a series of quite successful albums in the last decade. Although these records were not popular at that time, their sales were amazing. Queen's music has a far-reaching influence, which can be found in several generations of hard rock/heavy metal bands in the past 20 years, from metal bands to crushed pumpkin bands.
QUEEN originally evolved from the psychedelic hard rock band SMILE. On 1967, guitarist Brian May and drummer roger taylor joined the Smile Band. When lead singer Tim Staffell left the band in 197 1, May, Taylor and lead singer Freddie Mercury from the former wreckage band formed this band named QUEEN. A few months later, bassist John Deacon recently joined in, so the band started rehearsing. About two years later, when all four members of the band graduated from college, they began to write, rehearse and perform. 1973, they released their first album "The Queen", produced by Roy Thomas Baker, and started their first tour. The music in The Queen was all direct hard rock/heavy metal, which didn't attract much attention at that time.
The album Queen II released by 1974 was an unexpected success in Britain. Before the release of the album, the band performed the song "Rhye's Seven Seas" in the famous British TV music program "Top of Pop". The song itself and the performance are excellent. Soon after, the song rushed to the top of the charts at 65,438+00, and the album Queen II rose to the fifth place in the charts. In order to coincide with the release of the album, Quinn began a nationwide tour, mainly to warm up for MOTT· Paul Hu. The fancy and psychedelic stage performance of "The Queen" has undoubtedly won the recognition of American audiences, and the album has reached the 43rd place in the American charts.
Then the band released the album Sheer Heart Attack, in which the single Killer Queen quickly became the runner-up in the British charts, and the album itself reached the same position in the charts. The record of this album in the United States is also quite good, which laid the foundation for the great success of this album 1975.
Opera Night is the most classic album of the Queen. The band spent a lot of energy on the production of this album, which is said to be the most expensive album in the history of rock music. Among them, Bohemian Rhapsody, a famous single, became QUEEN's signature track, and a large section of heavy metal guitar improvisation and solo continued to be added to the gorgeous soundtrack that resembled an opera choir, which is exactly QUEEN's typical style. The process of making songs also reflects QUEEN's typical attitude of striving for perfection. It took them three weeks to record, and a lot of background dubbing was added to the track of the song, so that after the recording, the magnetic powder on the master tape was so thin that it could be seen through in some places. Queen tried the conceptualization method for the first time in Bohemian Rhapsody's video, and invested a lot of money, but the reward for the Queen was also considerable: the single quickly rose to the top of the British charts and stayed there for nine weeks, finally breaking the record of the longest stay of the British singles chart champion. In the United States, this song and the whole album have also achieved great success, entering the top charts 10, and becoming a platinum single and platinum album at the same time. Even more than ten years later, 1992, this bohemian rhapsody came second in the American singles charts for several weeks.
After staying at the Opera House for one night, Quinn got a taste of what a superstar is, and they also got all the benefits that this status can bring. Their endless dancing and luxurious lifestyle have become eternal legends of rock music. However, all this has not affected their progress and efficient work at all. 1976 In the summer, the Queen held a free concert in Hyde Park, London, and the attendance rate of the audience set a new record. A few months later, they released the hit single "Someone Loves", and this album was included in "Horse Racing Day". This album can be said to be a cloned version of "Opera Night", but it still achieved excellent results, becoming the champion of the British charts and rising to the fifth place in the United States.
In the next five years, tireless Queen produced dozens of hit singles and several platinum records. Because they have won the love and admiration of so many fans all over the world, they have been resisted by some critics, especially when they show extremely bad conservative attitude towards punk sports. However, fans are still buying the Queen's albums, including two top five singles "We Are the Champion" and "We Will Rock You" album "News of the World", which became the top album on the charts in 1977. The album Jazz (Jazz) of 1978 almost repeated the same success, among which the singles Fat Girl and Bike Race became international hit singles, although the public expressed great dissatisfaction with the trick of a female nude bike race organized by the band.
In the early 1980s, the Queen remained very popular. 1980, they released the album Game, and the music style changed a little. They added more flexible slow songs and light and flattering songs, which were quite far from heavy metals. The success of the single "Love and Another Man" once again made the game album top of the American charts, which was a breakthrough success for QUEEN. However, people began to lose interest in QUEEN when they found that it was just a clever and flattering album. Many original loyal supporters of the band changed their tune, especially in America. As a direct result, later that year, their pure instrumental album for The Flash Gordan received an unusually cold response. 198 1 year, with the help of David Bowie, QUEEN successfully stood firm in the turbulent waves of new wave music, and the single "Under Pressure" reached the first place in the British charts. This is another number one single after Bohemian Rhapsody, which is included in the special album "The Most Popular Space 1". However, the hot Space album did not arouse much enthusiasm, because it is still a relaxed album, not so popular and not so elegant. The works in the album 1984 show more rock elements, but people's response to it is still tepid, and only the single radio Gaga in the album has achieved certain success. These unsuccessful experiences made them decide to leave Electra Company and sign with Capito Company.
Seeing that their market in the United States is shrinking and it is difficult to support themselves in Britain, QUEEN decided to find another market. They are targeting Latin America, Asia and Africa, where the huge potential market is often overlooked by rock bands. 1985, because of her outstanding performance in the on-site aid trip to help African refugees, the Queen once again entered the British audience's field of vision. The following year, QUEEN released a new album "Kind Of Magic", but its impact on the American market ended in failure. Miracle, the album 1989, suffered the same blow in America. Although the rock elements in this album have increased, they still lack real power. However, the innuendo (sarcasm) in 199 1 finally became an instant hit, which won the band a reputation in the United States and entered the top 30 charts while reaching the gold record. Of course, this is much smaller than their success in Europe. In Britain, they easily won the top of the charts. This colorful album rediscovers the elegance of the Queen in those days, with strong heavy metal works and typical Queen-style opera rock. However, this excellent album is now regarded as a band work coming back to life, because a huge shadow is gradually hanging over this extraordinary band.
199 1, QUEEN is not as active as before, and rumors about the physical condition of lead singer Freddie Mercury are flying all over the sky. 165438+1October 22nd, he finally confirmed to the outside world that he was infected with AIDS. Two days later, Freddie died.
1992 In the spring, other members of the band held a memorial concert at Wembley Stadium. The audience of this global live concert reached 1 100 million. In addition to Queen's three members, the cast also includes David Bowie, elton john, annie lennox, DEF LEPPARD and GUNS 'N ROSES. The performance raised millions of dollars for the foundation set up by Freddie before his death, which will be used for AIDS research. This performance also made Bohemian Rhapsody, the single of 1975, shine again and rose to the second place in the American charts.
After Freddie died, the band members were silent for a while. 1993, Brian May released his second solo album "Back to the Light" ten years after the first solo album was released. Roger taylor published some works in Cross magazine, but John Deacon decided to walk away. However, in 1994, the three members got together again and recorded Freddie's legacy. Freddie recorded the lead singer of these songs in his hospital bed. 1995, this album "A Match Made in Heaven" was released. Because of its special commemorative significance, this album has caused a buying frenzy all over the world, especially in Europe. There is no doubt that this is QUEEN's last studio work.
QUEEN had a certain influence in the heavy metal bands in the 1980s and 1990s, and its unique opera-style rock guided the direction for the later avant-garde metals. Their gorgeous stage performances and luxurious lifestyles are often imitated by later generations. However, the final tragedy of the band is also a shocking alarm.
