The chorus of WE WILL ROCK YOU was first featured on the Progressive Rock epic "Supper's Ready" by Genesis. It can be heard chanted by children on a section of the epic named, "[II. The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man] [II. The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man] I know a farmer who looks after the farm. With water clear, he cares for all his harvest. I know a fireman who looks after the fire. You - can't you see he's fooled you all. Yes - he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all. Share his peace, Sign the lease. He's a supersonic scientist, He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man. Look, look into my mouth he cries, And all the children lost down many paths, I bet my life you'll walk inside Hand in hand, Gland in gland With a spoonful of miracle, He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man. We will rock you, rock you little snake, We will keep you snug and warm. When heard , the reference is CLEARLY in it's reference, foreshadowing the Queen Song that accompanies WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS. Here listen and be astonished! link Queen opened for Genesis when Queen just barely started out. Both bands were "discovered" by producer John Anthony and worked at Trident Studios That puts pay to the myth that Queen only ever supported Mott The Hoople before becoming a headline act. here is a 1973 concert of Genesis doing "Supper's Ready" with Peter Gabriel wearing his flower outfit' I wonder, is this the concert Queen supported them at? The concert was at Shepperton in 1973 link Ben Whishaw could portray Peter Gabriel accurately, his renowned speaking voice is very like Gabriel's , and he looks the same body type/shape, as evidenced on the above video. Leave Freddie alone, Ben, you will never do him justice, not in a billion light years! Roger Taylor wrote the linear notes FOR the remastered version of the album that the 23 minute epic, "Supper's Ready", is from, that album is titled "FOXTROT" |

so every song ever written that has the same four words in it all come from the same origins? what utter crap you f**king moron!!!! even if you had a point - which you don't then perhaps you'd care to examine the lines in "Supper's ready" more closely...because they are derived from the old Christmas carol/nursery rhyme that goes like this: Little Jesus, sweetly sleep, do not stir; We will lend a coat of fur, We will rock you, rock you, rock you, We will rock you, rock you, rock you: See the fur to keep you warm, Snugly round your tiny form. Mary's little baby, sleep, sweetly sleep, Sleep in comfort, slumber deep; We will rock you, rock you, rock you, We will rock you, rock you, rock you: We will serve you all we can, Darling, darling little man. |

Do me the courtesy of speaking to me with respect and a civil tongue or please do not respond to my posts if all you are going to do is behave in such a immature and appalling manner. |

Any hint when during this twenty three epic is this part of the song you want us to hear?! I do wish that Queen would get back to recording and doing long epics such as this too! |
| crazy duck 01.12.2013 14:13 |
Brian may opening track on bttl (the dark) parts of the nursery rhyme mentioned earlier! God this forum is a serious vipers nest! |
| AlexRocks 01.12.2013 19:45 |
Yes we know these things by reading the posts earlier but when in the 23 minute song does this occur? Lol. |
| Lord Gaga 01.12.2013 20:19 |
Just listen to the song and find it yourself, sheesh. |
| AlexRocks 02.12.2013 11:52 |
It must not be that important. It can't be taken seriously when you just hand over something that is going to take close to half an hour. You are either lying about it or do not know yourself where in the song it is. |
| Djdownsy 02.12.2013 11:59 |
Sometimes I come on here, hoping that its not too bad. I'm always left disappointed unfortunately! |

yes agreed ^^^ the knife, the musical box, harold the barrel, the return of the giant hogweed, watcher of the skies, firth of fifth, cinema show, i know what i like, ripples and the aforementioned epic Supper's Ready are standouts. pity that the 3-piece-era produced so much over-diluted pap. there are patches of "Duke" that i go back to, but nothing beyond that...Abacab and thereafter is piss-poor (imo) |
| zazzizwaziziz 04.12.2013 10:57 |
Yes early Genesis is quite Brilliant, after Gabriel left though, it is very different. Wind and Wuthering is the best without him though, and even though he's not on it, it is still probably my favourite Genesis album overall. |
| brENsKi 04.12.2013 13:23 |
think i always thought about their early stuff - that as good as it was and as interesting as it was it always sounded a bit "muddy" - never sure if this was down to piss-poor production/mixing or just "too much going on" so lots of similar frequencies just blended into an audible miasma |
| AlexRocks 04.12.2013 15:56 |
Wasn't their catalogue or at least the first number of l.p.s remixed a few years ago? |

With the exception of the debut album (which they don't have the rights to) all of the albums and concert videos were remixed and re-released in 2007-2009. All the studio albums came out as (SA)CD+DVD sets that inlcuded an interview, and the promo videos and shorter concert videos of the period, as well as surround remixes of the albums. The studio albums were also released as three box sets (with almost all* B-sides on a bonus disc), and further box sets were dedicated to the live albums and live videos respectively. All in all, they did a good (not great) job of re-releasing the previously available material. Together with the two Archive sets and one of the latter re-release of the From Genesis To Revelation .album, you would have pretty much the complete collection of Genesis works. * The 1983-1998 box set curiously omits some of the B-sides from the Ray Wilson era, even though there would have been plenty of space for them |

The Way We Walk, the longs ... a great way to bypass the pop of the 80s/90s and hear the better material from the era. |
