Question: What actor was denied permission to use a song by British rock band Queen for his movie "Rocky III"?
Context: Půlnoc (pronounced "pool-notes" and Czech for "midnight") was a Czech rock band established in 1988 by three members of the Plastic People of the Universe: Milan Hlavsa (bass guitar), Josef Janíček (keyboards), and Jiří Kabeš (violin and guitar).  Hlavsa chose his sister-in-law, Michaela Němcová, to be the band's lead singer.  Hlavsa started Pulnoc because the Plastic People was denied permission to travel or perform openly by the Czech government.  In the spring of 1989, Pulnoc went on a tour of the United States that led to them gaining considerable favorable attention there.  For example, Robert Christgau named a bootleg of a concert the band played in New York City the best album of 1989.  Steve Hochman described this tour as "remarkable at least as much musically as it was culturally," writing that when the band played a show in San Francisco in 1989, "Plastic People fans and the uninitiated curious alike were floored by the combination of heavy metal, art-rock, operatic vocals and locomotive-worthy propulsion." "Liar" is a song by the British rock band Queen, written by the lead singer Freddie Mercury in 1970, and originally titled "Lover".  The song featured on the band's 1973 debut album "Queen" and it makes prominent use of the flanging effect, especially on the drums and cowbell.  A heavily truncated version of "Liar" was released as a single – backed with "Doing All Right" – in the United States by Elektra Records in February 1974.  The music video consisted of the band miming to the song on a sound stage. "Princes of the Universe" is a song written by Freddie Mercury and performed by the British rock band Queen.  The song was written for the soundtrack of the movie "Highlander" and released on the "A Kind of Magic" album in 1986.  In terms of musical style, the song is notable for being one of the most hard-edged tracks performed by the band, featuring a bombastic sound reminiscent of contemporary hard rock and heavy metal and vocals by Mercury akin to opera.  A music video for the song, which featured Mercury sword-fighting, achieved some notoriety. "The Invisible Man" is a song by the British rock band Queen, written by drummer Roger Taylor but credited to Queen.  The song is sung mostly by Freddie Mercury, with vocal contributions from Taylor.  Originally released on the album "The Miracle", it was released as a single in 1989.  Taylor claims that he got the inspiration to create the song while reading a book (possibly the book of the same name), and the bassline instantly came to his imagination.  This song marks the only time in any of Queen's songs that all four band members names are mentioned in the lyrics.  The first being Freddie Mercury, followed by John Deacon.  Brian May's name is then said twice (just before his guitar solo starts), and while saying "Roger Taylor", the first "r" is rolled to emulate the drums at the end of the verse.  Freddie Mercury's name is said by drummer Roger Taylor, and the other ones by the lead singer Freddie Mercury. "Man Against the World" is a song by American rock band Survivor.  It was the fourth track and the third single released from their 1986 album "When Seconds Count".  The song was originally to be included on the soundtrack to the 1985 film "Rocky IV" but was cut.  The song did appear as a bonus track on the 2006 reissue of the "Rocky IV soundtrack" album, along with Survivor's two other Rocky-related singles - the #1 hit "Eye of the Tiger" (the smash hit from "Rocky III") and "Burning Heart," which was the song ultimately chosen for the "Rocky IV" soundtrack and peaked at #2. The Platinum Collection: Greatest Hits I, II & III is a box set by British rock band Queen which comprises their three greatest hits albums, "Greatest Hits", "Greatest Hits II" and "Greatest Hits III".  The album was originally released on 13 November 2000 on the Parlophone label.  A booklet with song facts and images is also included with the three CD set.  The album's US release was delayed by Hollywood Records until September 2002 and featured the 2001 Japanese release remastered versions of "Greatest Hits Volumes 1" and "2" on the US and Canadian versions of "The Platinum Collection". Greatest Hits III is a compilation album by British rock band Queen.  It is a compilation of latter-day songs, the band members' solo hits and the band's collaborations with other artists (hence the album's credit to "Queen+").  It was released on 8 November 1999.  The first two tracks on the album were new previously unreleased versions of classic Queen songs. "Eye of the Tiger" is a song by American rock band Survivor.  It was released as a single from their third album "Eye of the Tiger" and was also the theme song for the film "Rocky III", which was released a day before the single.  The song was written by Survivor guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik and was done so at the request of "Rocky III" star, writer, and director Sylvester Stallone, after Queen denied him permission to use "Another One Bites the Dust", the song Stallone intended as the "Rocky III" theme.  The version of the song that appears in the movie is the demo version of the song.  The movie version also contained tiger growls, something that did not appear on the album version.  It features original Survivor singer Dave Bickler on lead vocals. "Another One Bites the Dust" is a 1980 song by British rock band Queen.  Written by bass guitarist John Deacon, the song featured on the group's eighth studio album "The Game" (1980).  The song was a worldwide hit, charting number one on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 for three weeks, from 4 October to 18 October (their second number-one single in the country).  The song spent fifteen weeks in the "Billboard" top ten (the longest running top ten song of 1980) and 31 weeks total on the chart (more than any other song in 1980).  It reached number two on the Hot Soul Singles chart and the Disco Top 100 chart, and number seven on the UK Singles Chart.  The song is credited as Queen's best-selling single, with sales of over 7 million copies.  This version was ranked at number 34 on "Billboard's All-Time Top Songs". "Seven Seas of Rhye" is a song by the British rock band Queen.  It was primarily written by Freddie Mercury, with Brian May contributing the second middle-eight.  The song is officially credited to Mercury only.  A rudimentary instrumental version appears as the final track on the group's debut album "Queen" (1973), with the final version on the follow-up "Queen II" (1974).  The completed version served as the band's third single, the earliest-released song to appear on their "Greatest Hits" album, with the exception of some versions where their first single, "Keep Yourself Alive", is included.
