Lockdown Licks no. 406. “These Are The Days Of Our Lives” Lead solo style. Played on a HB35+ into a NUX M8 amp set to superlead with some delay. Original played by Brian May. The song is by the British rock band Queen. Although credited to the whole band, it was largely written by their drummer Roger Taylor, and is the eighth track on the band’s 1991 album Innuendo.The video marked the last time his fans were able to see the singer alive, as it was filmed in May of 1991 during the final stages of his battle with AIDS.

The song was released as a single in the United States on Freddie Mercury’s 45th birthday, 5 September 1991, and as double A-side single in Ireland and the United Kingdom on 9 December, in the wake of Mercury’s death, with the Queen track “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The double A-side debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart and remained there for five weeks.SHOW LESS
