Title:
Queen 2
Description:
Queen II is het tweede muziekalbum van de Engelse rockgroep Queen, uitgebracht in 1 Het album werd in de Trident Studios te Londen opgenomen. De twee zijden van de LP werden ’Side White’ en ’Side Black’ (de witte en zwarte zijde) genoemd in plaats van de normale A-kant en B-kant. De zijden bevatten foto’s van Queen in wit of zwart gekleed. Het is een los conceptalbum waarbij de White Side vooral emotionelere thema’s had en de Black Side vooral donkere fantasierijke thema’s behandelde.
De foto gemaakt door Mick Rock welke op de voorkant van de LP staat werd nog vaak door Queen gebruikt in hun latere carrière. De foto waarbij de hoofden van de leden in een ruitformatie staan opgesteld is vooral bekend door de videoclip van Bohemian Rhapsody (1975). Het nummer Seven Seas of Rhye werd een bescheiden hitje in Engeland. Alle Brian May-nummers lopen in elkaar over en vormen zo min of meer één geheel. Datzelfde geldt voor de nummers door Freddie Mercury geschreven. Alleen Seven Seas Of Rhye staat los van beide thema’s. 974
Queen is a British rock band formed in London in 1970 from the previously disbanded Smile (6) Rock band. Originally called Smile, later in 1970 singer Freddie Mercury came up with the new name for the band. John Deacon joined in March 1971 giving them their fourth and final bass player.

They have been honoured with seven Ivor Novello awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
Lead singer Freddie Mercury died in November 1991 of AIDS-related complications. A year after his death, in April 20 1992 held a tribute concert for the lead singer to commemorate his life featuring all three remaining members and along with many great guest singers and guitarists.
Since the death of Freddie Mercury in 1991, Brian May and Roger Taylor continued as various ”Queen+” incarnations. John Deacon has retired from the music business, and opted out of almost all post-Mercury Queen activities, saying ”As far as we are concerned, this is it. There is no point carrying on. It is impossible to replace Freddie”.
