Queen - Days of Our Lives (Blu-ray)

If you're wondering how this amazing documentary does with the story of Queen. Hey, it's a kind of magic.Queen is, and will always be one of the best hard rock bands of all time.  Yeah, they had some off periods, but who hasn't.  They are one of those seminal bands that have shaped the music we listen to today.  As you all know, I'm a huge rock doc guy, and when one comes that blows me away, I will get on my soap box and scream to the heavens as to how awesome it is.  The latest rock doc to catch my eye is the very in depth Queen - Days of Our Lives documentary.  Originally aired on the BBC in a two part series, it is now available on Blu-ray and DVD. 

Days of Our Lives is a very comprehensive look at the band that is Queen.  The DVD takes you from the beginning, when the band formed, all the way through to the Paul Rogers era.  There is tons of great concert and archived footage of the band through their existence, with the late great Freddy Mercury.  There is lot of archived interviews, mixed in with current interviews with Roger Taylor and Brian May.  As many core Queen fans know, original bassist John Deacon, has retired since the death of Freddy Mercury, for the most part, only appearing with band twice since Mercury's passing in 1991.  This is a great DVD which dives deep into the band and gives you the full scoop.  And if that isn't enough there are some great bonus features.  If you love or even like Queen, this is a must.

Bottom LineAn in depth look at one of the great hard rock bands ever.  A must for any Queen fan.

-Ragman was blown away by this doc.
