QUEEN – QUEEN OF BRITISH ROCK

By the time Queen appeared in the musical horizon, the world was already sick with Beatlemania, a fan of the Rolling Stones rebels and Pink Floyd philosophers.

Fate brought him to John Lord, who was already known in narrow circles and was known as a great organist.

This musician turned out to be Richie Blackmore, who at that time played as part of the Three Musketeers group in Hamburg. He was immediately called from Germany and offered a place in the team.
