They were here back in 81, with concert at Puebla and Monterrey, almost 130000 people. It was a bad time because some of Queen's crew were arrested by mexican autoritys, they paid around 25000 dollars i think (or pesos. In puebla people throw some shoes on freddie and one to Brian. By the way, these queen concerts affected rock in mexico, i mean, the band chac mol (a cult band in here) were announced as the open act, but the company that brought queen asked money to the band for playin' both nights. A shame because of that mexican rock came to obscurity again until late 80's. |

Not much in terms of how big they are. The first thought that comes to me is latin, not necessarily Mexican, but I suddenly thought of that Tejano, spanish sung cover of Some Day One Day by some band whose mp3 cover I got a few years ago. I got it thinking, "how random". To this day it's my all time favorite Queen cover. I could see Mexico not liking Queen because Queen is very British, and in comparing and contrasting Mexico and England, I don't know how different their culture is as a whole, including music, but I know in one category they are total opposites. By far the best food of any culture for me is Mexican, namely Tex-Mex. Mexicans are the masters of cooking. Their superiority with food is only out done by Great Britain's more powerful, stronger sense of incompatence. The worst cook in Mexico could probably be justified in re-training the cooks working for England's best restaraunt. If this opposite chemistry applies to music in terms of great vs. shit... I would find a stuck and surrounded by Mexican music situation lead me to my best Vincent Van Gogh imitation. Queen does have one Tejano based song that is truly one of Deacon's best, 'Who Needs You'. In closing, I don't think many Mexicans rock. On the other hand, while blacks typically are considered the leaders of dance-styles of music... Mexican music with a beat is, to me, far better and more so underrated. |

AGAIN, SORRY FOR MI BAD ENGLISH.... queen comes to mexico in 1981, and they have a great concerts in monterrey and puebla, in fact, inthe concert in monterrey, they played for very first time a part of "under pressure" in a kind of medley, same song played in a sound check in puebla with the piano, no guitar (very interesting........and different). monterrey have in a recents years a very number of concerts with very important bands, like alice cooper, the cure and queen in the 80´s, and scorpions, inxs, king crimson (wwoooww), phil collins, iron maiden (3 times), alan parsons proyect and others in the 90´s and recently, bread, foreigner, kiss, u2 and the rolling stones. the question is.......... why not queen??? god bless you deaconmty |

Yes, why not Queen? Early this year, U2 play twice there, and there wans´t any problem. In fact, mexicans wanted more gigs. It would be superb,and one step closer for Queen to play in South America |

Well, all Argentina is far from being tejano. "Who needs you" is not tejano based, is Bolero based, and is a rhytm based in caribbean (Spanish caribean, e.g. Republica Dominicana, Cuba)spanish mix, product of the colony days. And I agree with you, I don't think many Mexicans rock as well. Saludos |
