That is the stupidest thing I've ever read. They called it "A Night at the Opera" because a Marx brothers film happened to be on one night. None of the members of Queen remind me of the Beatles, however their voices can sometimes sound similar. Freddie sometimes did Lennon-ee things. "Because" sounds like early Queen to me, and "Doin' Alright" sounds like very late Beatles. |

you hate the beatles? why? is it now cool to hate the beatles? in my opinion it is rather difficult to like queen yet hate the beatles. the beatles were amazingly good. no beatles = no queen. |

Both had all 4 members persue solo projects at one time or another. Both bands had music that evolved into many music styles...The Beatles started out more pop..then got more experimental, world music...psychedlia, harder rock. Queen started out more experimental with music hall/camp/metal/gospel/harder rock...then tried disco, then more pop. |

I assume he means that the pictures of the Beatles on Let It Be are exactly the same position of Queen on Hot Space. I see very little relevancy with Queen/Beatles. Need Your Loving Tonight is the closest I can see. |

Octopus never was #1 (at least in UK and the States). It happens with some popular songs: All The Young Dudes, Dust In The Wind, Show Must Go On ... popular and all but never a #1 However, Ringo co-wrote with George a US #1 (Photograph) and had uncredited input in Paul's #1 hit Eleanor Rigby. John Lennon alone composed more #1s than all the four Queennies together, and Paul wrote more than John. |
| *goodco* 07.10.2005 08:28 |
Both bands used three lead singers (discounting Ringo for the sake of argument) Queen II cover was a virtual copy of 'With The Beatles' Both covered 'Slow Down' (well, OK, Brian did) Roger covered 'Working Class Hero' The Beatles last 'live' performance included 'God Save The Queen', played on a rooftop.... Since the Sour Milk Sea reference was already used, I'll have to stretch to find something else. Oh yeah, both bands had two E's in their name joe+III |
| Sebastian 07.10.2005 10:01 |
In musical aspects Freddie was definitely influenced by the Beatles. Reportedly he composed Real Life tryng to make a Day In The Life sort of track. Real Life was the basis for My Fairy King, Black Queen and Lap Of The Gods (not revisited), which lead to Bo Rhap later on. As the Oxford lads pointed out, the beginning of the operatic bit is indeed quite similar to "woke up fell out of bed...", but imo it's more similar in music than lyrics: the four-per-bar piano vamping over the (major) tonic chord during two measures, the abrupt arrangement simplification. Fred only missed the alarm clock... Paul's clever approach in making parallel modulations (or relatives of that, like C>A) could have at least indirectly influenced Brian. In production aspects the Fab Four were Queen's Bible, and John's style of writing definitely had an influence in Roger. I think Roger is a fairly underrated lyricist, sometimes it seems he wrote just to give him or Freddie something to sing, but some of his lyrics were dog's bollocks (Foreign Sand, Days Of Our Lives, Happiness). IMO he could have been an elite English poet if he had wanted to, but the world would have missed his voice. |
| JasmineXWarrior 07.10.2005 11:21 |
That's actually a really good analysis. I really don't think it should surprise anyone that Queen were influenced by the Beatles, considering they were a British band who were forming their love of rock music around the time the Beatles were at their prime, and considering that it's difficult *not* to be inspired by the Beatles if you've listened seriously to them. I think if anyone wants to draw one big similarity between the two bands it should be their enormous creativity, their willingness to experiment with their music, and their use of rock music as a form of true art and literature rather than just a chance to get sex and money. |

although paul McC did say something along the lines of 'we only got into this business to have a laugh, pull a few birds and make a bit of money' i can assure you that the beatles did more than their fair share of pulling etc i believe john lennon's record was 7 women in one night, which is rather impressive whichever way you look at it |

Oh I know they got plenty of, ahem, "attention" out of the business, but my point was they didn't just slap some random noise down like a lot of poorer quality bands who just want to be "rock stars". Both bands really put effort into their music and truly wanted it to be good. There are plenty of bands who are in the business JUST for the nookie and don't actually care if they put out poor quality music as long as it sells. |

Similarities Between Van Halen and Queen: Both released synth-driven poprock albums in 1984 that restarted their career. Their studio album release schedule is very similar from 1980 on. Queen 1980 The Game 1981 Flash Gordon 1982 Hot Space 1984 The Works 1986 A Kind of Magic 1989 The Miracle 1991 Innuendo 1995 Made In Heaven *done* Van Halen 1980 Women and Children First 1981 Fair Warning 1982 Diver Down 1984 1984 (not a typo) 1986 5150 1988 OU812 (the one difference in schedules) 1991 For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge 1995 Balance *done* And finally, both were touring in 2004 with their second vocalists (Paul Rodgers, Sammy Hagar). |

I can hear some Beatle influences in Queen songs. I think Brian's voice on All Dead All Dead, is quite similar to Paul's, as is the very beautiful piano pattern. Play The Game is also quite Beatlesque, with it's relaxed tempo and intricate melodies. Besides those, In Only Seven Days is vaguely influenced by the fab four, particualarly in the romantic lyrics and acoustic feel. Queen were never guilty of plaguerising though. They took influences and made them theirs. |
