Rogers music videos is kinda weird. But although he has a lot of imagination :) Turn things on and sitting down and pushing a chair away aggressively, lol. He is a quite good musician. Love him! His quite kind and nice to other and write amazing songs. His a very good drummer and singer too. He was an important member of Queen.
Mr Buford Great Scott here now I saw you demonstrate these drums when they came out or saw this live pretty cool dude have a great day from Great Scott
Dierdre is a legend with her red thompson twins (Tom Bailey )inspired hair style!!! The background looks like wireframe green 3D but is probably - done with green masking tape and rulers by the BBC set department. Cheap but enough to give a futuristic look to the set.
Man. To think I was what? Either 11 or 12 years old first time I saw one of these vids on ch. 25 wviz Cleveland, Ohio. Then I got to see most of them/ tape them on vhs, then I got the actual Rock School Book at a local mall bookstore. Don't have any of those items anymore but yeah thx to Some other folks we can watch them again on RU-vid. Love It!! I became a drummer and I'm still at it!
Roger is being unusually polite here. He is clearly aware that he is on live breakfast TV and speaking to a proper gentleman who clearly admires Queen for their ... works.
John Richard Deacon (Leicester, Inglaterra; 19 de agosto de 1951) es un músico y compositor británico retirado, conocido por haber sido el bajista del grupo musical de rock Queen.
What a friggin half hearted doped up interview on the part of TV AM. Jeez, what shit dozy questioning. Showing guests a bit of, just a little bit of respect by demonstrating some interest in the material which in this case was a bloody good tune that deserved some airplay in the UK but got sod all on the radio, (story of RT's blighted career here,) - they played it a handful of times on a rock station in South Africa and it became a proper hit there. Fair play for playing a snippet here but honestly, asking him about dentistry, crap interviewing.
A couple shows later Ian Paice played paradiddles between the ride and snare "and it kinda sounds like a freight train", and what was left of my brain expanded.
'We are rounding off with more of the hit that you hope will go to No1 this week...' And would have had high profile Queen fan (oh the irony!) and Radio 1 DJ Mike Smith not refused to play Relax by FGTH, the only song close to Radio GaGa's sales because he deemed it obscene thus rapidly stoking it's infamy and what happens when an adult tells the kids they shouldn't be listening to something....? Well done Mike! :-o Inadvertently blew Roger Taylor's first chance of a UK Number 1 though I guess he consoled himself in the knowledge it sat at the top spot in 19 other countries. Kerching!
A few episodes of the show cropped up in the early 1980s on my local PBS station. It was absolutely fascinating and little. Did I know how this stuff would go on to shape my life as a musician and a music teacher?
Deirdre was great, but rock and blues styles always let her down. She was a great funk/soul player and her improvised comping was brilliant... But blues and rock? Sadly no.
Frank Bough had the largest head and the most ridiculous comb-over in British TV history. His career ended when he was exposed for attending sex parties and taking cocaine. Total legend.
The stupid question about Hitler 🙄 I remember the media used to knock Queen at almost every given chance. You wouldn’t believe these days, the reviews they were given back then. They really hated the band. The public loved them though. Coincidentally, none of Queen have ever been associated with the entertainment business paedophile rings that were apparently given so much freedom in the 70s & 80s. Roger wrote a wonderful song about Rupert Murdoch. That guy must be as old as Mr Burns from The Simpsons. Is he still alive?
