(speaking notes that aren't in the slides):

BEFORE THERE WAS QUEEN... there was "1984", brian's little cover band from 1967! they lasted for a bit, but they eventually break up (can't find a set date). after 1984, there was Smile! lasted for about 18 months before Tim Staffell leaves for a band called Humpy Bong

QUEEN I (1973) QUEEN II (1974) SHEER HEART ATTACK (1974)

• SO FUNNY WAIT, a man wanted to fuck Brian in 1974 and his first thought was that he didn’t want to hurt the guy’s feelings, and he basically responded with “if I were gay I’d fuck you, but...” and ran away to hide in his room. what a fucking ICON. this happened on their first american tour (which, i assume is during this era with MTH

A NIGHT AT THE OPERA (1975) A DAY AT THE RACES (1976) NEWS OF THE WORLD (1977) JAZZ (1978)

• Brian has Jimmy (first kid) during this album
• Roy Thomas Baker RETURNS!
• Jazz album party launch thing is apparently down in history as one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll parties. Good for them.

THE GAME (1980)

• the only Queen album to reach number one in the US!! 4 million copies sold to date! it's tied with sales for NOTW
• they bought the studio they recorded Jazz in! it's now a studio experience (so when do we wanna go to Montreux, lads?)
• Freddie wrote Don't Try Suicide for his former lover, David Minns, who attempted suicide after their break up in '78

FLASH GORDON (1980)

• literally all u need to know is that Brian mainly led this production enough to be labeled as co-producer. as he should. other than that, that's all i've got.

HOT SPACE (1980) THE WORKS (1984) A KIND OF MAGIC (1986)

• the first album released since their Live Aid performance!
• unfortunately their last album promoted w/ a tour due to Freddie's AIDs diagnosis (in '87 off. diagnosis)
• the decline of Brian's marital issues w/ Chrissie

THE MIRACLE (1989) INNUENDO (1991)
