Queen Unseen

My Life with the Greatest Rock Band of the 20th Century

De: Peter Hince

Narrado por: Peter Hince, Rupert Holliday Evans

Imagine being alongside one of the greatest bands in the history of rock, touring the globe, and being there as they perform at some of the best and biggest music venues in the world. Peter Hince didn't have to imagine. For more than a decade, he lived a life that other people can only dream of as he worked with Queen as the head of their road crew.

In this intimate and affectionate book, Peter recalls the highlights of his years with the band. He was with Freddie when he composed "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"; he was responsible for making sure that Freddie's stage performances went without a hitch. He was often there to witness his famed tantrums and was also party to the sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll that are invariably part of life on the road with a band. This inside look at Queen and Freddie Mercury shows the real-life ups and downs of one of the most famed bands of all time and is a must-listen for any music fan.

A true Queen fan would love this book

The story gives a lot of inside perspective of what the band was like while on tour and while in recording sessions. very insightful and worth the listen. I would recommend it to both the casual and die hard fans.

Loved it!

After reading some of the reviews I got worried that there wouldn’t be enough Queen in this book. I was pleasantly surprised when I found that the information shared in this story is not only full of Queen anecdotes that we might have heard in the past but also plenty of new stories and details we have never heard.
This isn’t a Queen documentary. This is a window into the world of a rock n roll band’s crew. Being a musician myself (at one point in my life) I found it fascinating! I felt like I was there. Like I was part of the crew. Another roadie walking backstage. I could almost smell the cigarette smoke and dirty clothes. I highly enjoyed this book and I will revisit it again soon.

Excellent!

Narrator was excellent! He did not make Freddie sound like a talking flamer like other narrators have. He kept it real. It doesn’t get better than that.

So much fun!

A fascinating and often hilarious look at what life was like as a "roadie" for Queen. There are lots of great personal anecdotes about Queen, individually and collectively, but it's the details of touring, and particularly the mind-boggling logistics involved in the production of their live show, that put this a cut above other Queen books I've read (and I've read quite a number since FINALLY seeing the film 'Bohemian Rhapsody' a couple of months ago). Kudos and thanks to Mr. Hince for sharing his story -- and to the narrator, whose talent lends another layer of enjoyment to this entertaining work.

wonderful listen

wonderful story, at times it can get confusing following the timeline, but it's great tok hear from the perspective of someone within their group. espeically someonenwho worked with Freddie Mercury.
