Brian May reveals John Deacon’s involvement in Queen’s legacy

Queen will release Queen I, a six-CD + one-LP collector’s edition box set devoted to their self-titled debut album, on Friday, and it’s just another way the band is celebrating their legacy.

In an interview with MOJO, guitarist Brian May says their legacy is "absolutely" important to them, noting, "The passion is still there. We still get angry if things aren't right, and it's still fun."

"I certainly think Queen II deserves that treatment," May says. "There are many layers on that record and there wasn't really the technology to make that heard."

He adds, "I think we'll stop there, though. By Sheer Heart Attack we had everything under our fingers."
