Classic rock royals Queen have been combing their archives for material ahead of the release of Queen on Air: The Complete BBC Sessions. Watch this just released, sped up, and totally rocking version of their classic hit ‘We Will Rock You’, live in Montreal in the clip below:

The version of the track is as hard rock as the best heavy Queen songs, fast and energetic. It sounds borderline heavy metal or power metal and certainly, those genres owe a lot to Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon. It looks almost as it if were a show opener in their set, which makes sense, since they might have been sick of playing their humongous hit by the time of this concert. A version in the style of the video was recorded for the BBC sessions and will appear on the new album.
