Roger Taylor discusses 'We Will Rock You' in 2016<\/h3>\n

In a brand new interview in the latest episode of Queen the Greatest Live, Roger Taylor blasted the way concert venues in England used to treat fans back in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

The drummer spoke of how some countries, usually authoritarian regimes didn\u2019t like the audience getting involved, which was a real issue for Queen who encouraged fans to get on their feet.<\/p>\n

He shared how back in the band’s early days their homeland could be just as controlling.<\/p>\n

The 74-year-old said: \u201cIn some countries, authoritarian countries, I mean, like in England, it used to be in the Seventies the dreaded bouncers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\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!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Roger continued: \u201cIt was terrible. \u2018You can sit in your seat but you can\u2019t have fun.\u2019 It was pathetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEngland in the seventies was horrible, really. It was a pretty awful place, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sir Brian May, who also gives a new interview in the video agreed that bouncers can be a major problem.<\/p>\n

The Queen guitarist said: \u201cA seated audience [at the front] 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<\/p>\n

If a show still wouldn\u2019t get going back in the day, the band would use their \u201csecret weapon\u201d in the form of frontman Freddie Mercury.<\/p>\n

Roger added: \u201cHe was incredible. He could just shout, \u2018Come on!\u2019, and then everybody would get up\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
