Montblanc Great Characters Fountain Pen Tribute to Queen Special Edition

In the thrilling history of rock music, few names have shone with as much consistency as that of Queen. With a career spanning over five decades, the band is one of the greatest successes of all time. During this period, Queen embodied the power of musical creativity and most of their songs stayed at the top of the charts for weeks. They created a kind of musical universe of their own, composed of a combination of hard rock, glam rock, pop, funk, and opera, breaking down the boundaries between genres. Inspired by the 1991 album Greatest Hits II, Montblanc honors with the Great Characters Homage to Queen Special Edition one of Queen's most popular albums. Echoing the striking color combination of the double LP Greatest Hits II, this edition appears in dark blue with gold-plated attributes. The four musicians behind this legendary compilation have made history: Freddie Mercury, the charismatic singer whose voice spans several octaves and is colored by a rich vibrato; Brian May, the virtuoso guitarist with his incomparable electric guitar sound; John Deacon, the versatile and creative bassist; and Roger Taylor, the rhythmic heart of the band. As a sign of their musical virtuosity, which made the 1991 album one of the best-selling and most well-known in the world, the "tools of the trade" are subtly immortalized on the precious resin: microphone and bass on the cap; guitar and drums on the body. On the Greatest Hits II album, the band presents a wide selection of their hits, from rock anthems to catchy pop songs, including iconic tracks such as A Kind of Magic, classics like Radio Ga Ga and The Show Must Go On, the catchy I Want to Break Free, or the poignant Under Pressure, a collaboration with David Bowie. Besides Freddie Mercury's voice, the key to the band's distinctive sound is Brian May's exceptional guitar playing. The writing instrument pays tribute to him and his virtuosity through the shape of its tip. Designed from the characteristic volume and tone control knobs of his famous electric guitar, the cone features a delicate fluted pattern, a small red dot, and an engraving of the release date of the Greatest Hits II album. The crown worn by Mercury during the final performance of God Save The Queen inspired the silhouette of the special edition cap and at the same time serves as a metaphor for the majestic character of the band and its musical legacy. The gold-plated clip is designed to resemble a microphone stand, referencing one of Freddie Mercury's live performance features.
