why are queen called queen?
With his friend Tim Staffell, Brian May started a band called 1984 in the mid 1960's. ... Later on, Tim left "Smile" to join "Humpy Bongs" and Farrokh Bulsara subsequently joined the band on vocals and piano in 1970. Then Farrokh came up with the name "Queen", so they changed it from "Smile" to "Queen".
