We’re
all have our own ideas of how song should be, cause I mean a song can be done
in so many different ways, depending on of who is doing it. But sometimes I just
feel that it’s not right and like in case of Roger’s track which is Magic, I mean,
he did it in totally different way, which is quiet good, but I just felt that
it was another commercial streak, and I just realized that he was going away to
LA, and I just got hole of it. I just changed the (…) completely. And when he
came back, I sad: “What do you think?’, and he said “Oh, I like it!”. It was completely
different song, but… you know, it’s something, sometimes you can see something
else in other people’s songs, and… You know, I don’t mind them do that my songs
as well, we’re all help each other in the way, but that takes a lot of time.
The
hole thing, I mean, faq of group policy is first of all that the group couldn’t
agree on the one single. Because I mean it was to do with the film, and it also
to do with the new Queen product. Because what’s happened – I think for the
first time in Queen’s life – is that we were actually made a film soundtrack,
but we’ve also made a Queen album – so, we had to trying let people know that it’s
not just a soundtrack, because we’ve got other songs as well. So it’s hard to
trying depict, that it’s not all one soundtrack, and it’s not just Queen. We
had to trying bring two projects together. And so, I mean, within the members
of the band as well, we were fighting as to who liked which song. So we
couldn’t agree at all, and basically what happened in the end – we decided there
should be two singles, released synchronously in different territories, and
because the film is out in America first, we wanted to go with the Princes which
goes with the film. But over here (Great
Britain) we released Magic, because we thought that if we’ll release Princess
to go with the film, than nobody gonna see film here till about July, and the (…)
got to know, what it means. So, sometimes you have to sort of get that
diplomacy, and work out things (…). So, in America they’ve got Princes of the
Universe, over here is Magic.
To
start of, it was a Queen project as such anyway, but we did only like five
tracks to go in the film, and there’s about nine track now… Is it nine? Yes, about nine tracks. So these additional tracks,
which are not in the film – so it is a Queen, a new Queen album anyway.
I
don’t know what’s Queen’s (…) were, I think by now it’s four writers, that
write very different songs, like… I mean, John’s been writing quite a lot now, he
is just writes in one area, which he likes, which is almost like a Art Tamla
Motown, and I love that, cause I like to sing songs like that. So he’s very different,
you can never call his songs heavy or… So I think Queen just write four very
different types of songs. Like Brian writes from the guitar, so we have that
element, and Roger I think writes from the drums, he is sort of crosses over a
lot. So we have all kinds of things.
The
question is like – you’ve achieved everything – what else is there? But the
thing is I have nothing else to do, I mean, I don’t know… I can’t become a chef
or something, I don’t know how to cook (smiling). So, I have to sort of… I know
I can stop doing that and just leave on my money, but I’m not that kind of
person. I want to work, cause I mean I’ll get so bored, you know, I’ll be so bored.
And so I was thinking – I know that I know there’ll be a time when I can’t run around
on stage, because it’ll be ridiculous, you know. I know, when there comes a
time when you have to stop. But music will still be my thing. So I mean, I have
to thinking in terms of what I can do – so maybe I’ll going to production or I’ll
still write songs, because I mean you can be quite old and not have… you might
not have that physical fitness to run around on stage, but you could still
write songs. So one way or another, but music side is always gonna be in my life,
you know.
