Queen has been active for over 50 years with an incredible back catalogue producing success after success.<\/p>\n
However, it hasn\u2019t always been a bed of roses for the band, with one project in their history being called \u201ca thorn in the side of our career\u201d by Sir Brian May this week.<\/p>\n
The guitar legend was attending the London BFI IMAX premiere of the Queen Rock Montreal concert movie, which is playing in over 400 IMAX cinemas globally from January 18-21 this week.<\/p>\n
During his surprise introduction, the 76-year-old praised the tech team behind the newly remastered 1981 film, who re-edited the project into something Queen could finally be proud of.<\/p>\n
Admitting that the original VHS version was something he, Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and John Deacon were actually pretty \u201cembarrassed about\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Sir Brian told the audience that Express.co.uk was a part of: \u201cFor most of our career this was a thorn in our side. It was something that was never right. It was badly mixed; horrible dry sound which sounded terrible. It was badly edited, badly put together.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Queen star shared how there were also problems with syncing the sound as there were whole parts where Freddie was singing and it was the wrong part of the song.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Sir Brian said: \u201cIt was really something we were embarrassed about. It took months and months of work [to get right]\u201d<\/p>\n
On the newly finished (and redeemed) product out in IMAX for this week only, he added: \u201cI can\u2019t tell you what a really wonderful job this is\u2026of rediscovering what it was actually like for us to do this gig. It now feels like you\u2019re there. It didn\u2019t up to this point.\u201d<\/p>\n
