Queen - Machines (Or Back To Humans) (Official Lyric Video)
Available on all major Digital music services: Queen.lnk.to/Machines
Back To Humans Tee available at Queen + Adam Lambert Rhapsody Official Tour Store: rhapsodytourshop.com/
A thrilling collision of sound and vision dubbed “a masterclass” by USA Today, the Queen and Adam Lambert ‘Rhapsody' show opens with the juddering industrial beat and vocal harmonies of Machines (or Back To Humans) - a new reworking of the cult favourite track that opened the second side of The Works album in 1984.
While immersive staging pulls the audience into a dystopian world of spinning cogs and hissing pistons, a battalion of CGI robots march across the giant video screens to the sound of “Machines” and look down on the crowd with unforgiving brimstone eyes - only to be vanquished with the assistance of a virtual Freddie vocal, the band then launching into a techo-infused but highly human Radio Ga Ga, which kicks off a two-hours-plus roller coaster of the band’s legacy catalogue.
In the opening of the new ‘Rhapsody' production, the audience hears Freddie Mercury and Brian May’s duetting lead vocals from behind, raising the alarm (originally in 1984!) that The Machines are about to take over. Set against this, the robotic voices are provided by Roger Taylor’s vocoded vocals advocating the Machines’ point of view. The theme of this conflict bursts back in at various points later in the set.
Reintroduced to the Queen setlist for the band’s current US tour, the feverish live reaction to Machines (Or Back To Humans) has now prompted the band to release the original track as a digital single becoming available November 10.
Originally written by Brian and Roger almost 40 years ago and today holding a core position in the band’s current spectacular live production, “Machines” is undisputedly now even more of its time than ever.

A criminally underrated Queen song.
Everything is ok for the people who just discovered this banger until they find "Its self-perpetuating, a-parahumanoidarianised".
This should have been the sound track to Terminator 2.
Anything by Queen always turn into a classic.
For Freddie ❤
ASKING QUEEN ON BEHALF OF ANCESTOR FREDDIE MERCURY FOR SOME ASSISTANCE ☮️☮️👽👽Women BEING USED-FOR SO LONG AND ANIMALS AND CHILDREN FREED NOW 👽👽👽👽☮️☮️☮️👽👽👽
Freddie’s voice will always be the greatest! No one comes close to his talent! ♥️👑👑
I don't know why this song gets slept on, it's awesome!
There are so much incredible vocal performance of Freddie through all the 20 years of unbelievable career that chosing a single one is almost impossible... listen even to a B-SIDE like SOUL BROTHER to hear his amazing vocal skill... and it's just a fu%&ng b-side... Freddie was the best...period
Prediction of AI doing it instead of us
This should've been released as a single. It's a great track. Long live queen. 🎉
Another underrated Taylor/May track. Bring's back great memories of 1984. The album, the singles and the 2 of the 3 night's I saw them at the NEC. Great concerts.
John's bass it's so solid, what a great song. I had never heard this song before, I was 13 in 1984, and only had access to what was on the radio at that age, the singles mostly, and then you grow, life goes on, today for a moment I thought this was a new song, re worked with Freddie's vocals saved, just like the new Beatles song, released recently, what an amazing feeling it was to hear Freddie's voice again anew!, just now reading the comments I find out it is a song from back then, but for a moment just briefly... A Queen song it's always on a class of its own, so relevant now, more than ever I'd say.

Before seeing Queen and Adam Lambert in Boston on the Rhapsody Tour, I had never even heard of this song before. I can now say that this was an incredible addition to the show and a really great part of Queen’s resume. Glad to see it’s receiving much more attention. Thanks for an incredible song and an unforgettable performance! Queen rocks! 🎤🎸
Freddie lives on forever through us all ❤
I'm 54 and a friend brought me this album ion the day it came out. This transported me right back there even though I listen to Queen regularly and have seen them many times, though only once with Freddie in '86. Still amazing., and Adam is a saviour - what a live show he gives.
One of my favorite Queen songs from the excellent The Works. ❤❤
Hearing freddie is just amazing. AMAZING❤
I was 40 in April... ;) this album too
