Robbie Williams - We Are The Champions (video)

I've paid my dues
Time after time.
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime.
And bad mistakes?
I've made a few.
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through.

(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)

We are the champions, my friends,
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world.

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls.
You brought me fame and fortune, and everything that goes with it.
I thank you all.
But it's been no bed of roses,
No pleasure cruise.
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race,
And I ain't gonna lose.

(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)

We are the champions, my friends,
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world.

We are the champions, my friends,
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions.
[Not in the original version:] Of the world.

Queen - These Are The Days Of Our Lives (video)

The days were endless
we were crazy
we were young

The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun

The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true...

And the meaning is oh so clear

Literal Bohemian Rhapsody

➽ Το πασίγνωστο τραγούδι των Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody" σίγουρα το γνωρίζετε. Κυκλοφόρησε τον Οκτώβριο του 1975 ως single και τον Νοέμβριο της ίδιας χρονιάς ως μέρος του δίσκου "A Night at the Opera". Σύνθεση του Freddie Mercury. Από τα πλέον χαρακτηριστικά τραγούδια των 70ies (κι όχι μόνο). Η (κινηματογραφική) ομάδα Corridor Digital μετέτρεψε το κομμάτι σε κινηματογραφική ταινία μικρού μήκους. Αφηγείται την ιστορία του τραγουδιού (ακολουθώντας τους στίχους κατά λέξη). Τον ρόλο του "Freddie" παίζει ο Jeff Schine και της "Mama" η Deborah...

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality.

Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.

Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.

Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.

Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows),
I don't wanna die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning,
Very, very frightening me.
(Galileo) Galileo.
(Galileo) Galileo,
Galileo Figaro
Magnifico-o-o-o-o.

I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me.
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Never, never let you go
Never let me go, oh.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go.)
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.

Μουσικές "επιμειξίες"

Μουσικές "επιμειξίες". Παίρνεις την μουσική ενός τραγουδιού, τα φωνητικά ενός άλλου και τα "παντρεύεις". Για κάποιους έχει την πλάκα του, για άλλους είναι ενδιαφέρον, κάποιοι το θεωρούν ιεροσυλία.

Σε κάθε περίπτωση, ορισμένες μίξεις είναι εντυπωσιακές σε βαθμό που αν δεν γνώριζες τα αυθεντικά τραγούδια να μην καταλάβαινες ότι είναι "υβρίδιο" και δεν πρόκειται για αυθεντικό τραγούδι. Ακούστε και κρί- νετε...

AC/DC, Purple, Queen και γκάιντες

Τους Red Hot Chili Peppers τους ξέρετε. Τους Red Hot Chilli Pipers; Σκοτσέζικη μπάντα που δημιουργήθηκε το 2002. Άλλαξαν το Peppers (από το όνομα του Αμερικάνικου group) με το Pipers για να δηλώσουν πως το κεντρικό μουσικό όργανο του συγκροτήματος είναι οι γκάιντες! Εμπίπτουν στην κατηγορία Folk Rock ή Celtic Rock αν και οι ίδιοι αποκαλούν την μουσική τους bagrock (σύντμηση των λέξεων bagpipes και rock).

Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει πέντε στουντιακούς δίσκους με πιο πρόσφατο το περσινό "Breathe". Έχουν κερδίσει τρία βραβεία: "Scottish Live Act of the Year" δύο φορές (2007, 2010) και BBC's "When Will I Be Famous" (2007). Ο.Κ. ενημερωτικά στοιχεία τέλος, πάμε να τους δούμε σε δράση. Όπως λένε και οι ίδιοι: IT’S THE NEW JOCK AND ROLL!!! Δείτε τους να διασκευάζουν Deep Purple (Smoke on the water), AC/DC (Thunderstruck), Queen (We Will Rock You), Journey (Don't Stop Believing), Survivor (Eye of the Tiger)...

The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert (trailer)

On April 20th 1992, Roger Taylor, Brian May and John Deacon, the surviving members of Queen, took to the stage at Wembley Stadium for the start of one of the biggest events in rock history, which the band had organised to pay tribute to their former colleague - the incomparable Freddie Mercury.

Queen were joined by some of the greatest musical talent in the world to celebrate Freddie's life and work and to increase public awareness of AIDS, the disease that had prematurely ended his life the previous year.

As well as being great entertainment, the concert raised a huge and still growing sum of money for the Mercury Phoenix Trust, a charity formed at the time whose charter is the relief of suffering from AIDS throughout the world.

Now for the first time both halves of the concert are being made available on Digital video.

Special guests include David Bowie, Gary Cherone, Roger Daltrey, Def Leppard, Joe Elliot, Extreme, Bob Geldof, Guns 'n' Roses, James Hetfield, Ian Hunter, Tony Iommi, Elton John, Annie Lennox, Metallica, George Michael, Liza Minnelli, Robert Plant, Mick Ronson, Axl Rose, Seal, Slash, Lisa Stansfield, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Young & Zucchero.

"Impression Rhapsody"

Το τραγούδι "Bohemian Rhapsody" των Queen σίγουρα το γνωρίζετε. Το... "Impression Rhapsody" όμως; Γι' αυτό είμαστε εδώ! Ουσιαστικά πρόκειται για μία διασκευή της επιτυχίας των Queen με σατυρικό ύφος. Το εγχείρημα ανήκει στον (Ελληνικής καταγωγής) ηθοποιό και μίμο, Paul Vlahos, ο οποίος τραγουδάει τους στίχους μιμούμενος φωνές από ήρωες cartoon μέχρι ηθοποιών ή πολιτικών (Μπους, Ομπάμα)!!! Και το βίντεο χιουμοριστικό για να μην ξεφεύγει από το κλίμα. Enjoy...

BAD PIPER: "WE WILL ROCK YOU" (VIDEO)

Είναι ο Bad Piper. "The Bad piper is the world’s only flame-throwing, punk rock piper", όπως γράφει ο ίδιος στην ιστοσελίδα του. Το βίντεο είναι από το fringe festival κι όπως καταλάβατε αφορά μία (αρκετά ιδιαίτερη) διασκευή στο "We Will Rock You" των Queen. Ααα, και ο τυπάς δεν είναι Σκοτσέζος (όπως πιθανά θα νομίσατε), Αυστραλός είναι και ήταν από τους finalist του Αυστραλιανού "Got Talent"!
