"We Will Rock You" is a song composed by Brian May, the lead guitarist of the British rock band Queen. The song was released on October 7, 1977, as part of the album "News of the World." It was also released as a single, with "We Are the Champions" as the B-side. The song has a simple, repetitive structure, with a stomping beat and a catchy chorus. The lyrics are an anthem of defiance and rebellion, urging listeners to stand up for themselves and fight against oppression. The song's iconic opening riff, played on a distorted electric guitar, has become one of the most recognizable in rock music. "We Will Rock You" has become a cultural phenomenon, with its chorus being chanted at sporting events, political rallies, and other public gatherings. The song has been covered by numerous artists, and has been featured in movies, TV shows, and commercials. The song is divided into two main sections: the verse and the chorus. The verse is a simple, repetitive riff played on a distorted electric guitar, accompanied by a stomping beat played on a bass drum and a handclap. The lyrics are spoken, rather than sung, in a rhythmic, chant-like style. The chorus is a more melodic section, with May's guitar playing a soaring, anthemic riff. The lyrics are sung in a powerful, passionate style, with the chorus repeating the phrase "We will, we will rock you" over and over again. "We Will Rock You" has become one of Queen's most enduring and beloved songs, and is a testament to the band's ability to create music that is both catchy and meaningful. The song's message of empowerment and rebellion has resonated with generations of fans, and its iconic riff and chorus continue to inspire and energize audiences around the world.
