Here's a story that recalls the "seismic" changes that happened in England at a time when a musical revolution shook up British society.

One day, in 1977, the band Queen was in Wessex Studios in London to work on a new album, when the Sex Pistols happened to be booked to record in the same place.

Queen was said to be doing its sixth album, News of the World, which would yield "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" — further solidifying the band's success after the release of "Bohemian Rhapsody" in 1975.

The Pistols, meanwhile, had just released "Anarchy in the UK" in 1976, dropping the bomb that was punk rock, and causing major bands like Queen itself to take notice.

The next scene, as Queen's then roadie Peter Hince recounted, had the Pistols' bassist Sid Vicious gloating at Queen front man Freddie Mercury:

"Sid Vicious stumbled in, the worse for wear, and addressed Fred, 'Have you succeeded in bringing ballet to the masses yet?' Fred casually got up, walked over to him and quipped: 'Aren't you Stanley Ferocious or something?' and took him by the collar and threw him out."
