On the night of the Oscars, Queen drummer Roger Taylor said that 'there are lot of similarities between Lady Gaga and Freddie Mercury', live on Good Morning Britain. Roger also praised Gaga's talent and her brilliant performance with Bradley Copper.
Have YOU got a story? Email [email protected] legends Brian May and Roger Taylor surprised their younger legion of fans on Monday evening by revealing the origins of Freddie Mercury 's iconic stage name.
Addressing guests while launching a remixed and remastered edition of their self-titled debut album on Monday evening, guitarist May and drummer Taylor revealed it was lifted from 1973 track My Fairy King, which includes the fan-favourite line 'My mother Mercury.' 'We were about to go to Manchester for a show and he just turned round to us all and said,"Dears, from now on I'm called Mercury."The two founding band-members also paid tribute to Mercury's extraordinary legacy and his unique ability to impact the lives of fans across the world.
The drummer, 75, explained how the late singer's famously operatic singing voice left his mother horrified when the band first started out. Despite his obvious strengths, Taylor admitted Mercury sang like a 'manic goat' when they first got together Roger added: 'He turned out to be our wonderful Freddie whom we will never forget.'We had confidence and faith,' he said. 'Because we could play, and we believed in Freddie.'
Taylor said Mercury 'turned out to be wonderful', but the distinctive vibrato for which he is known took some fine tuning 'Every instrument has been re-examined from the bottom up. The guitars were originally recorded very dry, so we’ve remedied that. Speaking at a press conference to launch the album, the band revealed every drum beat had been augmented, because they hated the kit originally used by Roger while recording the album in the early '70s.
