THIS IS ROGER’S TROUSERS FROM THE GLASGOW GIG
AND THERE’S IS SOMETHING WRITTEN ON THEM
I need more Queen pals so I can get into a deep discussion about the placement of Hot Space within the album rankings
Need to make friends with more Queen fans so anyone is likely to understand (or, even better, gaf) when I ramble on about albums from 35 years ago
This felt so much easier when I got into the Monkees, idek lol
Queen on an American radio phone in, 1991
Caller: Hi, I wanted to ask you about rapper Vanilla Ice borrowing your music from “Under Pressure” and did you get any compensation for it.
BRIAN: Did you say “borrowing?” You mean he’s going to give it back?
ROGER: He can keep it. The first thing is we were surprised and shocked. And then we were quite flattered in a way that he made a whole song out of one riff from one of our songs.
DJ: Did he have to ask for permission?
BRIAN: He should have done, but he didn’t, and for this reason [our record company] are suing his white ass off, if I may be so bold.
