Pics & Vids

On this day of 2023 Lucien from Montreux Celebration asked me to sing a few songs with the NL Queen tibute band called Queen Forever.
I ha ve the pleasure to share this with you.
As you can see, there are mistakes, approximations, cause we didn't have time to reherse and I'm not used to play the regular versions of the Queen songs.
BUT !!! I really enjoyed to play with these wonderful musicians and I had so much fun to do it.
I thought it was a good idea to share it with you the wonderful vibes I caught from the wonderful Montreux celebration audience.
I hope you'll enjoy it.
Thanks to Eric Morel from Queen France Fan Club for the videos

Soirée de concert particulière hier soir sur la scène nationale de l'Espace Malraux à Chambéry. Le groupe KING, qui revisite les chansons de Queen dans un style hard rock, a donné son concert en invitant les spectateurs à déambuler sur scène entre les artistes pour vivre une expérience au plus près des musiciens. Pour rendre l'expérience encore plus immersive, le public était équipé de casques afin d'écouter le concert au plus proche de leurs envies. (Savoie News)

Imagine a meeting between Freddie Mercury and Metallica…


Imagine Another one bites the dust or Fat Bottom Girls played at the speed of fury… Imagine John Deacon playing with the bass sound of Iron Maiden… Imagine more distortion effect on Brian May’s guitar and his brown curls headbanging … Imagine Roger Taylor playing on a double bass drum…



What you get is KING !


KING is a band of professional musicians who are all huge fans of the most iconic rock n’ roll band of the 70s and 80s, namely QUEEN. But they have chosen to not just play their songs, but to adapt them into what they might have sounded like 15 years later.



A recipe for success.


The energy of the band is so communicative that the audience naturally move their heads to the music and sing along. KING is the best band to light the audience on fire. Be they young or old fans of the original songs, everyone will love what they will hear, even the most demanding music lovers.
