This song is a fascinating and obscure insight into the psychological and spiritual nature of this bands music/lyrics. I have been aware of these undertones of monothesitic / western ideals for sometime. Fantastic song...fantastic musicianship!
The word "hell" is taken from the greek word "sheol" which means the common grave of mankind. Nowhere in the bible will you find Dante's interpretation of it.
Freddie once said "Oh, I was not made for heaven. No, I don't want to go to heaven. Hell is much better. Think of all the interesting people you're going to meet down there!" And I think that, that was what DanteTheDemonHunter was talking about, but HtnDuck, I agree with you 100% I would rather go to Heaven and be with Jesus. =D
i wonder if freddie visits hell on mondays singing stone cold crazy and hangman,and on sundays sings doin alright,and killer queen,an on other days in the other dimension of the unrested souls does dream concerts with every song and unreleased song and solo song and covering song ever written for his voice last forever wouldn't that be cool.
-a fact made more interesting given that composer and singer Freddie Mercury was a follower of Zoroastrianism. The track features a two-chord rhythm section during the verses with a long instrumental break toward the end of the song.
Such a magnificent song... I love Queen and Freddie's voice... He had the most magnificent voice ever heard on this world full of bad singers... Such a beautiful song!
Increíble tener un temade esta calidad en el primer disco de la banda, excelente música, excelente letra. Freddie=Genio

This would be fun to play on the game Rock Band, especially the middle part with the awesome guitars and drums.

The instrumental is to give you time to remember. This song was written in rememberance of the Aberfan disaster of 1966.
Listen to the words of the fourth verse.

even if there were interesting people in hell, i would never want to go there, i'd much rather be in Heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. :)

This is hard to believe, a Queen song about Jesus, considering Freddie allegedly said he'd rather go to hell than heaven.
