This is Queen The Greatest,
1
00:00:07,647 --> 00:00:09,309
and this week we celebrate one of the
2
00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:11,546
biggest collaborations
in rock history.
3
00:00:11,626 --> 00:00:13,296
It’s Queen and David Bowie’s
4
00:00:13,346 --> 00:00:14,192
Under Pressure.
5
00:00:23,954 --> 00:00:26,479
By 1981, Queen had bought the famous
6
00:00:26,529 --> 00:00:28,462
Mountain Studios in Montreux –
7
00:00:28,542 --> 00:00:30,180
and it was during one
recording session
8
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:32,540
there, that Studio Engineer
Dave Richards
9
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:34,262
made an impromptu phone call.
10
00:00:34,392 --> 00:00:35,604
"They were recording there
11
00:00:35,654 --> 00:00:36,853
and, David knew that I was in town,
12
00:00:36,903 --> 00:00:38,226
and phoned me up and asked me if I’d
13
00:00:38,226 --> 00:00:40,288
come down, if I’d like to go down
14
00:00:40,338 --> 00:00:41,248
and see what was happening.
15
00:00:41,298 --> 00:00:42,567
So I went down and these
things happen,
16
00:00:42,617 --> 00:00:43,656
you know, suddenly you’re writing
17
00:00:43,706 --> 00:00:46,622
something together and it was totally
18
00:00:46,672 --> 00:00:48,604
spontaneous, it certainly
wasn’t planned.
19
00:00:48,734 --> 00:00:49,953
It was peculiar."
20
00:00:50,521 --> 00:00:51,714
"Well, I think the process
21
00:00:51,764 --> 00:00:54,521
was we were all drunk,
and in the studio,
22
00:00:54,571 --> 00:00:57,379
and we were just for
fun we were playing
23
00:00:57,379 --> 00:00:58,859
all sorts of old songs.
24
00:00:58,919 --> 00:01:00,539
I remember a couple of
old Cream songs,
25
00:01:00,659 --> 00:01:04,479
and whatever came into our heads
26
00:01:04,529 --> 00:01:05,979
and I think David said
27
00:01:06,029 --> 00:01:07,219
"look, hang on a minute,
28
00:01:07,269 --> 00:01:08,599
why don’t we write one of our own?”
29
00:01:08,649 --> 00:01:09,889
"We were fooling around
30
00:01:09,939 --> 00:01:11,989
and then just sort of
jamming with tracks
31
00:01:12,039 --> 00:01:13,179
and suddenly we said 'why don’t we
32
00:01:13,229 --> 00:01:15,009
just see what we can do
33
00:01:15,009 --> 00:01:16,169
on the spur of the moment?’"
34
00:01:16,189 --> 00:01:17,459
"Then there's the pressure
35
00:01:17,509 --> 00:01:19,649
of his majesty, David, being there,
36
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:22,499
and everybody wanted to look suave
37
00:01:22,549 --> 00:01:25,249
and quick with ideas and stuff."
38
00:01:25,299 --> 00:01:26,219
"Deacy of course came up
39
00:01:26,269 --> 00:01:27,359
with this riff, ding, ding, ding,
40
00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:28,349
de de, ding, ding."
41
00:01:29,864 --> 00:01:31,654
"Bom, bom, bom, de, le, dah, dah."
42
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:33,139
"Ding, ding, ding,
43
00:01:33,189 --> 00:01:34,039
de de, ding, ding."
44
00:01:36,427 --> 00:01:37,667
"He kept playing that over and
45
00:01:37,717 --> 00:01:38,947
over and over again."
46
00:01:40,261 --> 00:01:41,421
"And then we went
47
00:01:41,471 --> 00:01:42,991
for a pizza and he forgot it.
48
00:01:43,748 --> 00:01:45,428
Completely escaped his mind.
49
00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:47,709
We got back and I remembered it."
50
00:01:49,901 --> 00:01:51,111
"And of course we're used to
51
00:01:51,161 --> 00:01:52,951
playing together and now we have
52
00:01:53,001 --> 00:01:54,761
this other guy there, who’s also
53
00:01:54,811 --> 00:01:56,281
inputting, inputting, inputting."
54
00:01:57,044 --> 00:01:58,064
"David’s idea to put
55
00:01:58,114 --> 00:01:59,384
all these clicks and claps,
56
00:01:59,384 --> 00:02:01,344
and then it just, the
sort of track grew."
57
00:02:06,515 --> 00:02:07,615
"And by that time David
58
00:02:07,665 --> 00:02:08,925
was very impassioned with it and
59
00:02:08,975 --> 00:02:10,865
he had a vision in his head I think.
60
00:02:11,655 --> 00:02:13,655
It’s quite...........
