Biography

There are four bands with that name:

1) Roger Taylor’s band
2) The Korean band
3) The progressive metal band
4) A Japanese duo


1)
The Cross was a separate band project put together by Roger Taylor (the drummer for Queen) from 1987 to 1991.

The four other members were Spike Edney (who went on to form ‘Spike’s All Stars’ - the SAS Band), Clayton Moss, Peter Noone, and Joshua J. McCrae.

The first album, ‘Shove it’ (1988), was more-or-less a solo album for Taylor - he wrote all the songs and played most of the instruments. The band were formed initially for the tour which followed the release of this album.

However, the newly formed band were allowed a much greater input into the other two recordings, 1990’s ‘Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know’ and ‘Blue Rock’ (1991). Unfortunately the release of ‘Blue Rock’ was overshadowed by the death of Freddie Mercury in November 1991 and, following a few weeks of poor sales, the album was pulled from record stores. It was only ever released in Germany. Due to this limited release, ‘Blue Rock’ is now highly collectable, with copies regularly selling for over £50 on eBay. Of the three albums, ‘Blue Rock’ is the most Queen-like.

    http://issuu.com/rockaxxess/docs/oct2012 in the new issue of ROCK AXXESS magazine there's an article on QUEEN. This one in Polish only, so for Polish fans. But most of the articles are also in English so you might want to check it out anyway ;)

    Mad, Bad and dangerous to know and Blue Rock are great albums! There's a few gems hidden in them.

    While I'm not a big fan of The Cross, I have to say that Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know has some killer tracks. Especially Final Destination is one of Roger's best songs, imo.

    I haven't listened to any of The Cross in a very long time and didn't intend on ever listening to them again. Until yesterday when Blue Rock started playing on my itunes. I've actually fallen in love with that album. I guess sometimes music grows on you.

    There was I time when I thought The Cross was an awesome band. These days I think they were a pretty average band which had the luck their frontmen brought the fanbase from his other band. They did some nice tunes though, but also lots and lots of crappy ones :D

    What a shame that The Cross do not return with a new offering....I saw them in '89 at the old Town and Country Club in North London...they were Bloody Fantastic...have all the albums and think that Shove It was a mile stone in mixing and blending his written Queen material with the Cross...brilliant
