Queen - Ogre Battle - Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London - 1975

I don't care who you think you are, this song is pure metal.

Queen 2, one of the best albums in rock history

[airhead]

70s queen deserves a lot more of recognition

[notjotaro]

It´s sad that Queen is almost never mentioned as a forefather of metal even tho their first albums were heavy as hell

[lettoreentusiasta]

Early '90s. I was in my old car with some friends. I said "Hey guys, would you like some Queen music?", "Yeah, why not". They were expecting Radio Gaga and similar pop songs, but their ears were stormed by Ogre Battle. They said "Holy fuck? That's Queen? really?". "Yeah, these are the Queen from '70s". Queen II is probably their best treasure.

More unnoticed genius by John Deacon again. Wonderful bass playing

[Keston]

The bass playing through this is absolutely amazing

[anthonykiza]

In my opinion from 1973 through to 1979 that was the best Queen era. The essential

[TheBardothodol]

Mr. Deacon...The master is on fire...lesson for any bass player

[sergiocorreatessini]

Queen teaching heavy metal, you must be grateful. ☝😌

In 1998, in an interview, guitarist Brian May talked about how the song was created:
Freddie composed the song "Ogre Battle", as well as music for her with very heavy guitar riffs. It's strange that he decided to do it. When Freddie took up the guitar, he had a feverish burst of energy. From the outside it looked like a very nervous animal playing the guitar. Freddie was a very impatient man, it affected his playing. His technique of playing the guitar was not high, but the whole melody was in his head. We felt that she was eager to go outside. His right hand struck the strings with furious speed. Freddie recorded a lot of material on the guitar.
Part of it I could not even imagine. So, Freddie made me look for ways to extract unusual sounds on the guitar. It was really delicious.

Deacy plays the hell out of it. Happy Birthday Brian May .

[arrowwaterable]

Queen Ⅱ album is one of the most important things I want to be buried with when I go to heaven or hell.

[carloseugeniocarlos]

49 years today. what a amazing performance..Deacon bass line is fucktastic!

[randumb_whirled]

This is peak Queen to me, those first couple albums.

[annsky]

I can't take my eyes off Freddie's slender figure, he's like a fairy!

[sputumtube]

Saw then=m at Bingley Hall in Stafford this same year when I was 15.... it's still with me now.

Ogre Battle was really a classic of Queen shows from 1973 to 1977. Played everytime in 2nd place, it was typical of Queen's style (theatrics, hard rock riffs, explosive choirs

[VeeSkee]

As much as I love Brian May. This is a John Deacon shining moment. Phenomenal bass playing! It really drives the song. He was a great talent. ❤

Queen were more metal than metal when they played metal
