Its interesting to think that this is Queen, its the closest thing to Metal that they ever did, even though Freddie and John hated this song. But this was Brian at his finest though, and he was always the one who brought out the heavy and loud side of Queen, maybe not a popular song but still one worth listening to.

95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy&paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of rock n roll die!
Best Soundtrack to any Movie Ever, and I'm being 100% dead serious. No other music has ever added so much any movie. Highlander would not be Highlander if it weren't for this music. Not to take away from the film itself; which is great, but just to show that a great film is a collaboration of many elements
@mastersam23 Bohemian Rhapsody was one of the first songs labled Metal before any bands in the 80s made it what it is today. Freddie Mercury could hit any note. Absolute master when it came to vocal work.
first saw highlander when i was like 9 or something. that puts you up for a great future! how i love the highlander! thumbs up for watching violent movies at a young age!
@2wingo no he wasn't trained to sing in opera where did you learn that and Roger said when he first met Freddie he said Freddie had a good voice but didn't have the technique.
Jesus, in 1986 I used to listen to this song so often the tape wore out! I was 15, I'd watched Highlander about 12 times in two weeks, and I used to mime the swordfighting sound FX as the song played full blast in my room... happy days.
I'm pretty sure that Freddy Mercury probably didn't like this because he didn't feel like himself. He was never one for rage and takeover in his lyrics normally. Man did he ever bring pure emotion to all of his songs. Every song, you can feel pure emotion no matter what it was. Although I can sense a reason why Freddy didn't like making this song. But only he himself can answer that question once and for all........when we all go to the other side :/
It frustrated me too when I learned that Freddy hated this song! :-( It was fn awesome. This would be the theme song to my life if I could make it! lol.
Best song on the album next to 'Princes of the Universe', and one of Brian's best solos. I used to play this tape in my dad's car so many times it wore out. Best film of the 80's, too.
He hated this song. I think it's because he thought it was too metal. Funny, cause this is on my top ten favorite Queen songs. And it fits the Kurgan like a glove.
@vigo894 Yeah, Gimme the Prize goes down as one of my all time favourite songs. It's absolutely amazing. Highlander is classic, too. My favourite movie of all time.
@metaldude630 Apparently, Freddie and John Deacon both disliked "Gimme The Prize". Personally, I think its one of the best tracks from the album. It stands testiment to Queen's versatility as a rock band. They can not only produce rock music, but their attempt at heavy metal was also outstanding, you can tell just by listening to this awesome track.
@Highlander01 cool man just never knew! he used to live up the road from me which i still find strange! i love this track it's one of my best queen tracks.
@Highlander01 Freddie. he lived in a place called feltham for a good while they got a lil memorial for him there. it's like a star on the floor like in hollywood @ the high street. it's no where near what he desserves though. he needs an 80 ft bronze statue
@metaldude630 There is a life-sized bronze statue of him in Montreaux, Switzerland where the band have/had a studio. It looks out over Lake Geneva (Lac Leman)
i am the one, the only one...i'm the god of kingdom come...gimme the prize! just gimme the prize! i really love this song, especially from 0:57 to 1:07
It's actually sad, this movie was made in like 1981, then all the companies thought it was a cult movie. So nobody watched it, then in 1993 somebody actually watched it and bingo people liked it. Kinda of a weird movie presentation
it was made in 1986 and well in 1991 they produced a movie that was not only one of the worst sequels of time but one of the movies ever made in general
Cool, I like the way lined up the dialog of the film - the actual footage of the Kurgun giving his 'I have only one thing to say, it's better to burn out, than to fade away!' speach, with the lyrics of the song. Very nicely done!
As much as i love princes of the universe, this is just brutal, and i love how they refrence princes of the universe. Hell they kind of sound the same.
"Give me your kings, let me squeeze them in my hand. your puny princes, your so-called leaders of your land. I'll eat them whole before I'm done, the battle's fought and the game is won, I am the one, the only one, I am the god of kingdom come, gimme the prize!"
I love the fact that Brians solo from 2:40 makes his guitar sound like a band of bagpipes(if thats the term for it Awsome! Check out Seaside Revdezvous.. that "red special also turns into a Jazz band! A Kind Of Magic I Suppose!
Pics may be out of sinc to some, but not to me. It all ties in. Very nice vid. I would have included alot of flashin images personaly (just to see who has a fit!)
this is amazing stuff-there was a time where i went through a phase thinking all the later queen stuff was no where near as good as the first 3 albums but i broke out of that and just listened to them properly and theyre really cool! the vocals on this are amazing-this album is cool
