today i attended a queen exhibition, and for people that don't know who queen are, they are an amazing rock band that were started in 1971 and consisted of 4 members- Freddie mercury, Brian may, John Decon and Roger Taylor. The exhibition was so amazing, it was about the re early years and how they formed. They were so different to anything had ever heard and there hasn't been anyone since them that is as great as they are. There was loads to see and as you walked around there were loads of writing and quotes on the walls from the band members, there team, the people that knew them and other modern artists. My favourite qoute was this one by Freddie Mercury-
The first bits my favourite, didnt really understand the second part to much, until my dad explained that the man was a famous ballet dancer. All the way around there were laptops with songs and unseen archive footage or the band and it was amazing to listen to some of the older stuff that i have never gotten to listen to before. I now have a real appreciation for how diffcuilt it was for them, it took them two years to get any type of recognition that they deserved.
I also found out that they were originally called smile, which i liked and this was there logo-
