Queen's Debut Album – July 13th, 1973

Outtake from Dead on Time (take 27(!!)). Brian messed up his lightning speed guitar intro...

Brian: Bollocks!

Roger: [...] can't even remember your own song!

Brian: Bollocks!

A gem and confirmed to make me appreciate Dead on Time a lil bit more. Thanks to the taper, Bob for sharing, Miles for remastering.

Edit: to counterbalance this mess up here is Brian talking more about it very recently:

Happy 73rd Birthday, John Deacon!

19th August 1951

Happy birthday John Deacon 💕✨️

I sincerely wish John a lovely 73rd birthday, surrounded by his precious family 💖 I tried a more painterly style this time, dipping my toes into a royal AU for John's birthday. I used one of my favourite photos of him as reference (I'll ppst it down below) and set my imagination free for his outfit. I wish I had more time to polish it more and properly paint it, but I did this artwork during a very difficult moment, I wanted to challenge my art and life decided to challenge me back, I guess... but I still did my best and I hope you'll like it too 🥺🥰💜💕

I might've been drawing other stuff than Queen recently, but my love and admiration for John is still burning like a quiet but vivid flame. I'll always wish him the absolute best and I'll never stop being grateful to him for having shared his incredible talent and dedication with the world.

My Favorite Moments from Queen 1 (almost all from Disc 3)

I listened to it for the first time finally and UGHHHH we were FED

-Roger’s maniacal laughing in the Keep Yourself Alive De Lane Lea Demo (disc 2)

-Freddie: aw that was a good end Rog, I love that [Great King Rat, De Lane Lea Take 1]

-Mad the Swine Trident Take 3. Just the entirety of it. All that wholesomeness

-Roger: I tell you now, I’ve been deliberately playing off all week! […] Freddie: AHAHADJGGJJAHAAAH I can’t get this timing, hang on [My Fairy King Trident Backing Track In Development. Like all of it but especially the first 40 seconds]

-Brian: nOOOOO!! oh dear— […] Brian: *messing around on his guitar* Freddie: SHUT UP BRIAN [The Night Comes Down, De Lane Lea Takes 1 & 2]

-Roger: okay Brian? Brian, from the distance: r I G H T!!!! [Modern Times Rock N’ Roll, Trident Takes 8 & 9]

-*music* Roger: you f***ed it Brian Freddie: it was you Brian Brian: SHIIIIIIIIT [Jesus, De Lane Lea Take 2]

-Freddie: sorry about this, but Brian’s guitar is about to blow up [See What A Fool I’ve Been, De Lane Lea Test Session]

EDIT: I made a video compilation of these so y’all didn’t have to! Captioned (I tried my best…it gets hard when they talk over each other) and color coded. Freddie is black and white, Brian is blue, Roger is red, John doesn’t talk in these clips. If it’s plain white, I didn’t know who was talking. Enjoy :)

THE duo 🩵❤️‍🔥

💖 ready Freddie ✨
