- Queen On Air - The Complete BBC Radio Sessions
Get it Now @ queen.lnk.to/OnAir
Available as 2-CD set and 3-LP set / Collector’s Edition 6-CD set
Queen’s meteoric ascendancy during the 1970s has been well documented. From their gloriously ambitious self-titled debut album of 1973 through to the album that put them in the superstar bracket, 1975’s A Night At The Opera, and beyond, this unique group carved out a singular path as the most visionary, inventive and charismatic band of that epic decade. But there is another side to Queen’s rise that has been largely overlooked. Between February 1973 and October 1977, the band recorded six radio sessions exclusively for the BBC. The twenty four recordings these landmark sessions produced include alternate versions of the debut single, unique takes of classic album tracks and even a radically reworked reimagining of one of their best known anthems that has never previously appeared on any Queen studio release.
Now, for the very first time, all six Queen BBC sessions - meticulously restored by Queen engineer Kris Fredriksson and mastered by Grammy Award winner Adam Ayan - have been brought together on Queen On Air, released on November 4 by Virgin EMI. North America through Hollywood Records. Available as a 2-CD set and a 3-LP vinyl edition, plus a Deluxe 6-disc edition featuring a CD of live broadcasts and 3 CDs of radio interviews, Queen On Air is an essential addition for connoisseurs of the band.
Queen On Air is more than just a collection of rare recordings - it is a glorious snapshot of the growth of a legend.

Queen - We Will Rock You (Fast) [Official Lyric Video] [Queen On Air]
/ queenofficial - Hudba
Holy shit the original is a classic but this is such a different flavour I love it
The slow version is proverbial shit wrapped in sewer soaked garbage. I hope, no, pray to god that its wiped from the face of the earth for being the most infuriatingly horrible song in existence.
te quiero cachar
Sammy this is technically the original version because they done this originally but decided to change it to what people now think the original is
@@jasonhymes3382 Well, You're wrong it greatly influenced the Pop Culture, if this song does not exist, Queen will not be more popular as it is today.
this band will never die
because they are the best....
this band already is dead. well, on its last legs. freddie is dead and john deacon respectfully retired.
Too bad my classmates barely know them or even dislike em
toxboxic that doesnt mean its dead, this band will be listened always, even when all of us dead
Joshuasim Ip who doesnt know "is this the real life etc" song lyric chain, it literally a meme and every on 9gag/reddit etc
This feels like its own song, not just a 'fast version'. The tone is totally different - the original is dramatic and aggressive, while this is celebratory. In this version, we've won the battle, we've proved ourselves, and we will continue kicking ass. I love it.
The name should be "We rocked you"
Controversial opinion: I like this version more than the original version.
You aint the only one, man.
same i wish this was the album version and they did the original version live
You'll never walk alone. This version is so cool!!!!
It's not controversial...it beats the boring BOOM BOOM CRASH version
Me too man
Love this version 😄😄😄
James Rundle same
Best version imo. Gritty and heavy.
I have to disagree. The slow version is much better, IMHO.
Yeah because nothing says "we will rock you" like a 80 bpm chant.
James Rundle Hi, im a sub :v
oh my god, this is like finding a ripped page from the bible.
meaning? if you think that shit was heavenly you do not know good music you do not know QUEEN!
Robyn Helmick Meaning that it's just refreshing and almost eye-opening to hear such an iconic song heard so differently. That's all, haha.
I don't understand your problem...do you understand your problem?
...You mean with youtubers that wanna start pointless arguments? No, not really :)
Oh no I was talking to Robyn, you're cool and composed and all that good stuff :)
Only Queen can improve a Queen song.
This is a best version of We Will Rock You.
this is incredible
iowagaming I cinda agree
No
Yes
I Think we all Can agree
1:55 no escucho
NO ME JODAN
GRANDE FREDDIE
This is better czcams.com/video/vfc42Pb5RA8/video.html
I haven't been rocked that hard in a while
Not since I was a baby
Fricken Chinger that’s what she said
This version: 156 Beats per Minute
Normal version: 164 Beats per Minute
It's genuinely interesting to notice that this seems faster while actually having SLOWER singing than the original version. Simply because there are more 8th and 16th notes in the instrumentation, while the original stomping in clapping is just quarter/quarter/half, it seems faster. Anyone who teaches Music Theory or Songwriting should show this to their students.
Edit: You can halve the beats to 82 if you'd like, but the main thing is this: Freddie is actually singing slower in this version. If you were to take his vocals from the original and put it on top of this one, the vocals in each section would end sooner.
very interesting analysis, thanks
***** Glad someone appreciated haha I definitely over-analyze stuff like this.
Pretty sure the original is 82 bpm with the stomping and clapping as half/half/whole. When the whole band comes in at the end, it's not 164 beats per minute.
Although you got the right idea, this isn't true either. It is 82 bpm with the stomping being eight/eight/quarter notes.
Wrong. It's half of 164. Just did a tap tempo on it. 81 or 82.
I didn't know this version exist.
It was how they performed it.
Queen in España !!
They used this version for opening concerts in 1981.
it was included as the first song on Live Killers
They opened with this for years in the late 70s
would make a killer soundtrack for a heist/shootout scene in a movie
Jake Krynock ^
Edgar Wright is pricking his ears up
Trying to find your phone to delete your browser history when you can hear your girlfriend walking up the stairs to see you
I would love to hear it in the flash movie !!!
What about baby driver 2?
When a band covers their own song
Imagine if this version topped music charts today...
This is how I remember them opening their concerts.
Holy shit
It's like a Led Zeppelin song with Freddie Mercury on vocals
This is the best thing I've ever heard
Their first 3 albums were heavy. Not many people know that since they think Queen is just We Will Rock You, We are the Champions, Bohemian Rhapsody and Another One Bites Dust.
Listen to Dragon Attack, Son & Daughter, Stone Cold Crazy, Ogre Battle, Prophet's Song, Tie your Mother Down.
Queens first 4 albums are my favourite with "Sheer Heart Attack" and "Queen II" in particularly :D
Jen Minor, I agree, exept for "dragon attack": isn't it from the "hot space" album ? but still a good song, anyway.
Alex Dredge, totally agree 👍 these are the Best of Queen according to me, too
+Gérard Galaxy dragon attack is from the Game, but yeah, it's not really "early" stuff. I think they were just pointing out that it's one of their more heavier, underrated songs.
Although the original version is so iconic, this is much more classic rock. Each version has its own special aspect, and I honestly don't think I could choose one as my favourite.
John's bass is incredible
OMG l love this
Their songs never disappointed me
maple stoneriver Your use of the correct "their" doesn't disappoint me.
I don't get why you're making a big deal out of it. Tons of people know how to use their homophones.
maple stoneriver ikr
you said homophones in a reply to a post on a queen video.... there is a joke in there that im too lazy to write
They always put so much quality into every song they wrote.
My God, this is so much better than the version I'm familiar with! This one sounds more raw and aggressive, almost like it could have been on Sheer Heart Attack.
Plus, it's got the added benefit of having not been played to fucking death over the past 40 years. The other version is good but I've heard it too many times.
Dude, check out the Live Killers album. A version like this was released in 1979. YEAH!
I didn't know that. I'll check it out now!
Check version Queen Rock Montreal, the best for me.
Kreed of Krieg Yes!!! I forgot about that version
Rebecca Doell - Yes, that's my username...
I've been never rocked like that before. OMG!
Best version. This should have been included in the album.Only Freddie's voice can have that impact on that song, so much energy.
It was in the albums Live Killers (1979), Queen on Fire - Live at the Bowl (2004), Queen Rock Montreal (2007), and the expanded edition of News of the World (2011)
this band is IMMORTAL
BRILLIANT !!
Super version of the famous song.
Thank you so much!
Imagine my joy, hearing this studio version of the fast version of We Will Rock You for the first time.
Slow Version: Before "The Battle"
Fast Version: During "The Battle"
Fair?
And We Are The Champions after the battle
@@FKMDC And All Dead All Dead is if you lose the battle.
Defiantly my favorite version.
*We have been rocked, you had been reborned!*
1x Great Song
1.25x Punk Rock Song
1.5x Motorhead
0.5 doom metal/ horror rock song xD
I can imagine the old uncle Lemmy playing this song hitting hard his rickembacker..... Ace of spades lineup of course..
2x Metallica
Daniel Ianegitz Vieira Punk songs and Motorhead songs can also be great!
1.25x is actually amazing
Someday, this version should be somehow acknowledged as THE DEFINITE ANTHEM of Rock n' Roll, especially of Hard Rock music!!! 🤟🤘
This precious version should be in Queen Rocks collection!
Only Queen can rewrite history.....love this....!!!!
Sounds like a Judas Priest riff. Hot damn this is great.
dustin sussman like sinner meets AC/DC
Nice ear :)
+didactic polymath hahaha, AC/DC the best band of hard rock
Ha! Was totally thinking sinner too! One of Priest's best.
Or Starbreaker ; )
Always wanted a studio version of this and never realised they did one , class , it's not about which version is better, it's another version and superb it is, embrace it you Royals
So is no one going to talk about deacy's bass solo?
Time stamp?

This kicks the crap out of anything released in the past 20 years.
John Westcott they're ears can't handle real music
No, there. Read the sentence.
H La their*.
SuperCow 8689 their*.
Played at 1.25x. The energy is heart-stopping
*We will we will rock you* 🎸
a completely new song... that incredible band!!!!
I was today years old when I discovered this cool version of the classic Queen song. They were right-they did rock me.
And that's ladies and gentlemen is how you do it!
This is such an impressing performance that we as RocKDiGi will perform this great cover on a local festival in the Austrian Alps! Thank you for the music! Best wishes, Konstantin Malchev (Frontman of RocKDiGi)
As a fanboy it's an absolute joy to hear these... Especially hearing Freddie hitting all the high notes in a live context, rather than replacing them as he usually did! Love it!!!
6 years and no reply? lemme fix that
Brace yourself. This is about to explode in views.
Yea now this gem of a speed up is world wide
*chuckles* hell yea it did.
oh god, i absolutely agree.
Indeed.
I remember when this vid had only a few thousand views. It blows my mind that this song is rarely heard until now.
I've always loved this version. The Live Killers version with the thunder clap intro still gives me goose bumps no matter how many times I hear it.
I just found my new "let's drive faster" track.
gunznknives wanna find an excuse for driving fast? explain to the cops that you were hearing Stone Cold Crazy they will probably go away without giving you any fees lol
@@annamonozac Or Don't Stop Me Now.
Use the Rock Montreal version!
Got Elvis Presley vibes. If only Freddie could see my praise. R.I.P Will always remember.
This version absolutely rocks - sheer brilliance!
YEEE HAAAA!!! I saw them do this version for the first time LIVE during their 1979 Concert tour! It was GREAT!!!!!! Such a surprise, considering that everyone was expecting the classic version of We Will Rock you!
Frankie2012channel
Yes? You're calling? :D
Erm .. Not sure, did I press something?
You named me and then ... no message. Okay, if that was mistake, then no harm done.
Yes sorry. I have no idea what I did.
My new favorite song
RIP Freddie Mercury! You are a Legend behind that mic!
It's not everyday we get new Freddie! I listed to nothing but Queen today at the gym for 60 min. Freddie's Queen gets me going like no other band. LOVE THEM!!!!!
I like both versions they stand out in there own way.
I recommend listening to this at 1.25 speed.
THIS!!! This is how a FAST/punk version should sound.
The other way sounds like a shitty remix that ruined a perfectly good song.
Yes. Good suggestion. Gives it a definite punk vibe that can easily see/hear the Ramones covering it that exact way.
I like it a bit better at 1.5
Or just watch Live at Montreal version, where they actually PLAY it at such speed
Amazing, it's not only faster but the attitude is even more fierce. love it.
Freddie's voice is a rock machine. I've seen Queen start their concerts with this very same version of We Will Rock You. But it's nice to hear a proper produced finished Product. There's a good reason there's millions of views on this video.
Hello! Which concerts did you attend?
Released on 22nd June, 1979.
01 - Queen - We Will Rock You - Live Killers
John Zoidberg Not this version, although it's pretty similar each time they used to play it. The Milton Keynes show version was stunning too
Its amazing that so many so called Queen fans have not heard the fast version of We Will Rock You before..its been around for years and was a live favorite for many Queen fans ..
8 years on CZcams...
WAAF out of Boston used to play it when any of the teams won...
fucking bitches
Shit, I loved this opening on the Live Killers album when I was a kid. It was the only time I've ever heard this version until now. Never knew they did a studio recording of it.
Oh won't you all shut the fuck up and enjoy the music
Sounds PUNK AS FUCK when put at 1.25 speed
No shit! Thanks for pointing that out! At 1.5 speed it sounds like Richie on speed! About 300 bpm.
Holy shit, the energy! Drinking coffee here at work, turned to this and x1.25 and I'm feeling the rush. :D
punk assfuck? lol k
It reminds me of The Offspring's older stuff. :)
You're both dumb, in the context of the sentence he obviously meant to type "as". Punk as Fuck
this version is also as amazing as most of the Queen songs but if they have released the song as this version, it wouldn't be a big and timeless rock'n'roll anthem as it is now. that iconic drumbeat made this song a huge hit.
Imagine queen plane half time Super Bowl with this song and all the great songs it would've been one of the greatest halftime shows of all time..... there can only be one Freddie mercury.
WOW THIS IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL
Sebastian Westberg Ok.
Its got way more character this way.
Nope. The original is much more powerful.
+dLimboStick nope, this one's better
JOKER//SMILE Nope
Sitting in my favorite burger joint in the universe, Bard's Burgers, and this gem came on! I've heard this song for 37 years now and I had absolutely NO IDEA this existed until yesterday! This is badass!
Who wants to live forever? Freddie will.
big heavy metal influence in this
BLoooDYSaBBaTH have you heard "stone cold crazy"?
yes.i know that.it's proto thrash like sabbath's hole the sky and symptom of the universe.
@@nornironniall or sheer heart attack
Queen were a metal band by 70s standards on their early albums and even in the 80s when they went poppy every album had a few heavy rockers on them, except Hot Space I guess, although Put out the Fire rocks,
Ram’s Super Bowl commercial got me here. I can’t believe this exists. It’s amazing!!!
This brought me here too. I remember hearing this version on the radio a while back, but I couldn't find it. I searched even more when I heard the rams superbowl version and I finally found it.
It's times like these that I especially miss Freddie..
Love this version.....
Beyond awesome. Over the top!
This should be released as a new single. It's as good or better than anything on modern rock radio today!
We are the champions, my friends!!
We Will Rock You (Fast Version) is perfect after Let Me Entertain You!
OMG, ésto es oro puro.
Dios, es imposible no emocionarte ♡
no es para tanto
Tomas Vino que no? es Queen!!! es como encontrar parte del Santo Grial, pensamos que habiamos escuchado todo de ellos!
@@nadienunca4899 tu que vas a saber de queen...
@@nadienunca4899 Si te gusta la música genérica, la de moda que siempre suena igual es obvio que no te va causar nada.
A totally new version of a masterpiece.
Queen never stop me dreaming...
I just can't wait for the release of "Queen On Air" !
Classic British rock!! I love it so much!!
I'm certain Freddie Mercury would be amazed as well! Fantastic job, Queen!
***** Because he's dead and this is a different version -_-
***** Are you trolling?
Are YOU trolling? This is not a new version of the song, it's simply a version that hasn't been heard that many times before. Freddie was there when this was recorded, we would most certainly not be amazed by it if he was alive today.
Okay, I get it. Fine, Freddie Mercury probably wouldn't be amazed by this version, fine.. God, relax, guys -_-'
Wow
Allied GamerGuy9001 first comment
This is incredible. I like it a lot better than the original.
Chase Charaba Woah woah, this version is great, but not as epic as the original
walkin mn Honestly, I prefer it over the original. While good, the original was a bit too slow to my liking.
Yeah, it doesn't capture the feeling of the original. I like it, as I love Queen, but the epic atmosphere is completely gone from the song. Certainly wouldn't work as well leading into We Are The Champions.
You should have seen them open with this. It was mindblowing, we went nuts. Nothing beats a fast WWRY live.
milton keynes bowl springs to mind.
Really this is amazing.
God bless this band
we will rock you!
uuuuuuuuuuu genial esa voz y q fuerza de toda la banda gracia queen xser mi banda sonora x siempre .luis de uruguay
As good as this is, I honestly don't think the song would have been as iconic as it is had they gone with this instead. Two stomps, a clap, and everyone's ready to scream "WE WILL ROCK YOU!" That's pretty epic. But this is fun too :)
Correct, I love this version, but it doesn't have the participation aspect, or anthem feel. If this had of been the original version, everyone would be going nuts for the "new" version lol
fast or slow this song is great! Queen IS great and Mercury was the best rock singer I ever heard!
I STILL miss Freddie!! Probably will until I die.
It's hard to compare this to the classic version. It's nice to hear the song again without the accompanying drum beat that is often associated with it.
Foot beat...not drum:)
Bass drum, fool.
Foot or hand is irrelevant.
god damn it this is live , wtf guys cmon. There's only one version of this song. They played it like this till early 80s on stage!
Ken M? Is that you?
rdecredico the "fool" refers to the fact that the original We Will Rock You was recorded with nothing but overdubbed foot stomping and clapping. _there were no drums involved._
1:15 YEAAHHHHHH JOHN DEACONNNNN!!!!!!!
Great Version
Amazing version...
potencia a tope, voz espectacular. vamos que este si que era (y sigue siendo) DIOS
siempre me parecio una versión floja le falto mas power a la bateria ... yo la hubiera regrabado pero bueno es mejor tenerla asi limpia y de manera oficial
digo independientemente de que se que esto era una grabación psra la bbc y toda la cosa .....
Andrés Guarnizo coincido
ive been listening to this on repeat for an hour and a half, food and supplies are running low, plz help ;_;
Stuck in same loop, send assistance!
still looping ;-;
both versions combined would make a perfect song
great to hear again
Came here thanks to the Dodge commercial. I had no idea this was actually real. Thought it was a remix of some kind. Queen never fails to amaze me!
Not gonna lie, I found this version via a Ram truck Super Bowl ad
for so many years they promised to rock me. Finally did it with this song too.
RIGHT ON
This is amazing.
Eterno Freddie Mercury!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Just when you thought Queen had given all they had to give....
this song will....rock you
I Love The Original But... This Is Really Excited
