God save Queen. I mean it, man. When the prog-metal glam vaudeville act recorded the album News of the World next door to the Sex Pistols, who were recording the punk classic Never Mind the Bollocks … Here are the Sex Pistols, their drummer gave us a "Sheer Heart Attack." He blew the balls off the amps for an aural attack downstroked from a stack of guitars set at 11. Brian May was the band's guitarist, and a regal hard rock master plucking strings with a six-pence. Freddie Mercury was the singer with the operatic range. But Roger Taylor, a beatkeeper who sang the band's highest parts, came up with a classic shredder riff you "Gotta Fight from the Inside" for a song he played all the instruments on.

The upcoming book Queen: Album By Album will make a perfect listening companion to Queen's 45th Anniversary.

But it took the band three weeks to record the song at Trident studio in 1975. It took them twelve hours just to record 180 vocal overdubs, besides the piano, bass, guitars, drums and that elegantly massive Chinese gong at the end. Heavy-metal journalist Martin Popoff's upcoming book Queen: Album By Album, which comes out next month as part of Voyageur Press’s Album by Album series, details all the studio tricks the band employed.
