I've heard somewhere (in this forum actually) that Seven Seas Of Rhye was originaly a Wreckage song. Do any of you have any information regarding this like when it was written or something?
The way I heard it was (on this forum somewhere) people were talking about Wreckage and songs like Lover that turned into Queen songs. And so someone said "SSOR was a Wreckage song" and then I skimmed through the rest and I thought saw the "Seven Seas Of Rhye" and "Wreckage" in the same sentance and then I thought Seven Seas Of Rhye was SSOR. and of course this has been proven BS
Could be true, but maybe they never played it live. But it was the first song they played with Queen. So I guess Freddie already wrote it when they started with Queen
The song is STONE COLD CRAZY, was a reworked and signed: Mercury-May-Taylor-Deacon.
"Saturday 27th of June became the date of Queen's first public appearance. They opened with a reworked Wreckage numbers called "Stone Cold Crazy". (1970 Queenzone Biography) link
I have a strange hunch that Vagabond Outcast turned into Hangman. But nothing is really known about Vagabond Outcast aside from the fact it's one of the first recorded Mercury songs. Do any of you know anything about Vagabond Outcast?
