Peter Hince (Fred/John roadie): “You could never have had a Queen fan on the road... I, and others in the crew, liked some of Queen’s music...We were objective...somebody who is obsessed with the band could never detach themselves like that. I seriously doubt if a fan would ever tell Freddie Mercury he was being stupid and to fuck off!”

Queen Fandom (in reality): *writes post* “Obnoxious moments organized by band member, year, and level of stupidity.”

Today, on 20th September, 1979 - Queen Story!

Queen filmed video for "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" at Trillion Studios, London, UK, with director, Dennis De Vallance

🔸 "We cruised with a smile on our faces into the east of the city and our Hilton home. Fred was reinstalled in his grand suite and wanted to take a bath before going to the studio. I called Musicland and announced that ‘his self’ was now back and would shortly be arriving. Fred was humming and tapping in the bath and shouting out the names of chords: ‘D – yes, and C and G – Ratty, quick – come here!’ ‘Uh, you want me to come into your bathroom, Fred? I’m not sure about this.’ ‘No, no! Get me a guitar! Now!’ He emerged from the bathroom wrapped in towels, still dripping, and scurried into the living room of the suite where I gave him the battered acoustic that had been installed for these impulsive creative moments. Fred strummed away for a short time with his fingers – he never used a pick or plectrum, even on stage. Seizing the urgency of the moment, Fred insisted we make a dash to Musicland where a halt was called to whatever work was in progress. He summoned the band into the studio and enthused about tperiod w idea, which they started to work on and record immediately. The song was ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’, one of Queen’s most successful worldwide singles. It was a privilege to have been there with him"

🔸In the mid-1970s, a Queen encore featured Fred throwing stems of red roses into the audience. The roses had to be de-thorned by an assistant; a laborious task, and Fred complained that there were never enough blooms. Inevitably, some small prickles would remain on the stems and Fred’s delicate hands would be punctured. To improve Fred’s flower distribution, keep to budget and avoid any further spillage of blood, the choice of flower was later changed to carnations, which I kept secreted in buckets of water under the piano. On cue, I would rush on with an armful for Fred, and, while he tossed stems to the sea of outstretched grasping hands, I’d take his microphone to the side of the stage and prepare the next bunch. When the carnations were all finished, he would sprint urgently towards the piano and I would rush to meet him halfway on stage with his mike. Nice bit of choreography… If he was in a particularly frisky mood, Fred would take the plastic buckets as well as the flowers, and throw them and the water over the audience, himself – or me!

"The last time I saw or spoke to Freddie Mercury in person was at the 20-year anniversary party for Queen at the exclusive Groucho Club in London’s Soho. He was sat at a large table upstairs in the private back room and I was sitting at a table in the opposite corner with my girlfriend, Julie, John Deacon and his wife Veronica. I caught Fred’s eye and he beckoned me over, rising from the table to greet me as I walked towards him. He gave me a light hug and a peck on the cheek and said, ‘Thanks for coming, I appreciate it.’ That was it; that was the last time I saw him.

I had no idea'

“People talk about Freddie and his ego, but his ego was not as big as people think. It was all a persona. He could make fun of himself, whereas some of the other guys in the band couldn’t do it in the same way. You could have a laugh with Freddie, but you knew were the line was. He wasn’t necessarily the prima donna that everybody thought he was”

- Peter Hince

👉 Peter "Ratty" Hince met Queen in 1973 when they were opening for Mott the Hoople, began working for the band full time during their 1975 'A Night At The Opera' album, and stayed on as the head of their road crew until their final concert in 1986, 'Magic Tour'

- Curiosity

Interviewer: How did you become know as "Ratty"?

Peter Hince: When I started in the music business and being the youngest, I had to do the ‘dirty’ work, which included crawling on top of the dirty, dusty equipment to put small items in the tight spaces under the roof of the truck. I was very skinny and had long greasy hair and was nick named ‘The Rat’ by the truck driver on a Mott The Hoople tour. When I first started working for Queen full time, Brian May changed it to ‘Ratty’.

Maybe he thought it was nicer - and possibly after the character in the classic Wind in The Willows book ?

Today, on 5th october, 1979 - Queen Story!

'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' bw 'We Will Rock You (Live)' released in UK

(B-Side by Brian May), from 'The Game' album (1980)

🔸“I wrote the song languishing in my bath at the Munich Hilton.”

“We arranged at band rehearsals the following day with me trying to play rhythm guitar"

“Everyone loved it, so we recorded it,” Mercury went on. “The finished version sounded like the bathroom version.

It’s not typical of my work, but that’s because nothing is typical of my work.”

- Freddie Mercury

🔸“The idea for the song came to him while he was in the bath”. “He emerged, wrapped in a towel, I handed him the guitar and he worked out the chords there and then.

Fred had this knack of knowing a great pop song.”

- Peter Hince

👉 This song had spent two weeks at No. 2 in the UK in November 1979

👉 February 1980 - Queen Story!

Queen scored their first No 1 in the USA with 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love', written by Freddie Mercury and taken from "The Game" album, 1980

Ecco un altro splendido #libro edito qualche tempo fa da @arcanaedizioni. Quella di #PeterHince non è una #biografia convenzionale. È piuttosto uno sguardo privilegiato sui #Queen offerto da chi li ha vissuti soprattutto on the road. Oltre a svelare tanti aspetti poco noti del gruppo, Peter ha una scrittura efficace, capace di strappare anche un sacco di risate. Un libro davvero ben scritto, importante per comprendere un lato della vita che si fa dietro le quinte, quando gli artisti sono soprattutto esseri umani, con il loro bagaglio di pregi e difetti https://www.instagram.com/p/B4W7-mkh2I6/?igshid=1c27wwn5g7s6y
