Recovering Queen : The Queen Podcast

This week the gang take on one of Queen’s most ambitious and theatrical masterpieces The March of the Black Queen off of Queen II. A deep dive into the chaotic genius of early Queen, full of wild time changes, operatic vocals, and unmistakable Freddie flair.
Matt produced this epic cover, with Ben Wheeler delivering the thunder on drums, and vocals shared between Leddra Chapman, Ian, and Matt who also played all the remaining instruments.
Join us as we unravel the layers of this multi-part epic, exploring its influences, structure, and the sheer audacity of Queen’s early creativity.
And of course, an epic scoring round full of surprises.

This week the Recovering Queen gang go full throttle with Brian May’s lightning-fast rocker “Dead on Time” from Queen's album Jazz.
Matt dusts off his guitars to deliver a frantic cover version, roping in Ian to risk life and larynx on vocals, and the mighty Arthur Russell to batter the drums into submission. Together, they attempt to keep up with Brian’s warp-speed riffing and Roger’s caffeine overdose drumming.
We also chat about thunderbolts, Queen’s proto-thrash credentials, and why this track never made it into the live set
Strap in, this one leaves the station whether you’ve got a ticket or not.

Matt, Jai, and Ian get funky with John Deacon’s monster hit “Another One Bites the Dust” from The Game. We talk about that iconic bassline, the track’s disco-funk crossover magic, and how it became Queen’s biggest U.S. hit. Then we bring it into the Recovering Queen universe with Matt and Ian's cover version and, of course, we score.
