Queen for a Day – Tear It Up

Wait…what’s that sound?
It’s a big ass drum sound…and a call for readiness…and some real crunchy guitars…and….a lead solo?

Queen is back.

The retro-fuck-techno sojourn has been put to rest, it seems, in favor of an “It’s Late” type stadium rocking sound from Brian May.

Thank goodness.

Ya can’t beat a good vocal-Red Special call and response, especially when it’s done by two masters like these.

Leaving Elektra the band decided to give their fans “the works” and toss everything into the machine.

This was never a favorite track of mine, but after slogging through the dance mess of the bast few albums, it’s more than welcome. And a harbinger of Queen Mark III.
