Queen guitarist Brian May has discussed the band's new material, which they have recorded with vocalist Paul Rodgers.
Queen Mark II, which also features drummer Roger Taylor, joined forces with the Free/Bad Company vocalist Rodgers in 2005. Queen bassist John Deacon has not wanted to be involved in the post-Freddie Mercury project.Discussing the record, May said, "We went in the studio... to see what happens, because we've already tested it pretty good on stage and that works great... And we went in almost unprepared...and came up with some tracks, which I think are really great.
"They're very different, they're very unlike anything that we've done, or anything that Paul's done."
May was particularly looking forward to performing the new songs live, explaining, "It's gonna be good, because next time we go out (on tour), we won't just be nostalgia, we will be: 'This is what we are'."
It is, as Queen once advocated, better to burn out than to fade away...
