LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES- OCT 7, 2019…FORTY TWO YEARS AGO SAW THE RELEASE OF THE SINGLE ‘WE WILL ROCK YOU/WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS’ FROM QUEEN.’ IT WAS A DOUBLE A-SIDE SINGLE. ALTHOUGH QUEEN DID NOT INTEND IT THIS WAY, RADIO STATIONS USUALLY PLAYED THE SONGS BACK TO BACK. THE SONGS WERE THE FIRST TWO TRACKS ON THE ALBUM AND THAT’S HOW LISTENERS GOT USED TO HEARING THEM. GUITARIST BRIAN MAY AND CLAIMS THE IDEA CAME TO HIM IN A DREAM.
HE WANTED TO “WRITE A SONG THAT THE AUDIENCE COULD PARTICIPATE IN”
AND WHEN HE WOKE UP THE SONG WAS IN HIS HEAD.
HERE’S THE OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR ‘WE WILL ROCK YOU’
HERE’S A LIVE VERSION FROM ‘LIVE AID’
