Brian May performs at We Will Rock You musical revival<\/h3>\n

The latest episode of Queen The Greatest Live features brand new interviews with Sir Brian May and Roger Taylor talking about their relationship with their fans.<\/p>\n

During the footage, the guitarist shared how he and Roger Taylor don’t like their audiences being seated at their live shows.<\/p>\n

The 76-year-old said: \u201cIt\u2019s nice to encourage people to be free. That\u2019s why we really don\u2019t like seated audiences anymore either. Not in the front.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can be seated around the side. All the old people can go there, like me. But where the energy is, is on the floor where the kids can… and thank God we have kids, we have such young crowds very often going round everywhere in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s where they can get to the front, depending on how keen they are they\u2019ll get very close to the front. And they\u2019ll make a noise and they\u2019ll give us a reaction, which is what we need to function.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sir Brian continued: \u201cSo if you take that away that\u2019s much harder to create the atmosphere. You go onto a GA audience (general admission) where people stand and queue up for ages to come in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the whole floor will be people standing and they want it, they are there and they are going to have it and they will give it back to you the same as they want it given to them. That\u2019s what we love. It\u2019s always been that way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA seated audience feels intimidated. They have to sit there like this [arms folded] and there\u2019s a bouncer telling them not to stand up. That’s not rock and roll. That’s not the way it should be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Roger totally agreed, highlighting how awful enforced seating at venues in 1970s England was, comparing it to authoritarian countries.<\/p>\n

Roger shared: \u201cAs soon as anybody stood up, it was, \u2018You! Sit down! Sit down!\u2019 You know, they\u2019d come at you. And we just used to encourage them to riot!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was terrible. \u2018You can sit in your seat but you can\u2019t have fun.\u2019 It was pathetic. England in the seventies was horrible, really. It was a pretty awful place.\u201d<\/p>\n
