A newBohemian Rhapsodyclip is ready to rock you – if that’s something you’re in the mood for.

Bohemian Rhapsody Clip
In thisBohemian Rhapsodyclip, we get to witness the origins of “We Will Rock You”, one of Queen’s most famous songs. The song was written by lead guitarist Brian May, played here byGwilym Lee. According to the real Brian May, the song – which is almost entirely a cappella – was inspired by an event during Queen’s 1977 A Day at the Races Tour. After the band had walked off stage, the audience broke into spontaneous song, and the sound of chanting would go on to influence “We Will Rock You.” As May put it:
“We did an encore and then went off, and instead of just keeping clapping, they sang “You’ll Never Walk Alone” to us, and we were just completely knocked out and taken aback – it was quite an emotional experience really, and I think these chant things are in some way connected with that.”
I haven’t seenBohemian Rhapsodyyet, so there’s a good chance it’ll turn out well. However, every trailer and clip from the Freddie Mercury biopic throws off a seriousWalk Hardvibe. Every musician movie cliche in the book is on display here, and frankly, that’s a bit boring. Why not try something new? Something exciting? Something innovative? This clip in particular reminds me of the followingWalk Hardscene:
All that said, I’m sure that even ifBohemian Rhapsodyturns out to be a bust,Rami Malek’s performance as Freddie Mercury will be memorable. Malek is a wonderful actor, and it looks as if he’s fully inhabited the role here.
