Queen Puts Out Harder, Faster, and More Rocking Version of "We Will Rock You"

Queen is about to release a double album of epic proportions, titled: Queen on Air: The Complete BBC Sessions. It will cover six radio sessions the band did in the 70's for the BBC and it features something rather neat: a more uptempo, riffy, and rocking version of their big hit We Will Rock You (which can be listened to below).

The iconic stomps and claps are gone, but replacing them is some of the best riffing guitarist Brian May can do. It drives, it punches, and it kicks some serious ass. It's definitely faster too, which still gets you pumped up - though in a different way than the original did.

Queen on Air: The Complete BBC Sessions will be out on November 4th and will be available as a two disc CD set, a triple disc vinyl set, and a digital and deluxe six disc package that also includes live performances and interviews.

Personally I can dig this version of the classic. While it will never come anywhere close to overshadowing the iconic crowd pumping official recorded version, it's a fun alternate version to jam out to whenever you're in the mood to rock out. Put it on, and crank the volume up to 11.
