Their staging needed to be incredibly lightweight and versatile because of the range of venues the band play, and the fast turnaround that these venues often have. Maltbury's Metrodeck Ultra system was ideal. Its aluminium frame and poplar top makes it the lightest and easiest deck to handle. Perfect for a band with a tour schedule as busy as Killer Queen's.
Another advantage is Metrodeck Ultra's high-tech appearance, which is ideal for use as a drum riser in the main show (see photo). Myers was pleased with the products that Maltbury provided. As he says: "I've always found the quality of product and service excellent at Maltbury. High quality staging is essential for a touring show like Killer Queen. Maltbury are the best."
Since buying the original staging package, Killer Queen has regularly added to their stock. From Killer Queen's full stage show, to Myers' solo act as Freddie Mercury, Metrodeck Ultra covers it all.
