They thought that "A night at the Opera" would have only "Bohemian Rhapsody". NO ! We have to put all songs of this album in the dictionnary of Rock !
This song was great about how their previous managers ripped them off and kept most the earnings for themselves yet the band were skint at the time, good way to let them know you are not happy , make a song about it :)
@heythanksbutnothanks One manager in particular, Norman Sheffield. He tried to sue them after the song came out but he lost as he couldn't prove it was about him. That's why the dedication is to "A real motherfucker of a gentleman". They couldn't say his name.
@CRBjeep I didn't actually know what the "dedication to.." was as it just says..."dedication to..." I had no idea what that was, I should have realized it wasn't a nice dedication under the circumstances :), but they should have been allowed to say his name, he ripped them off. But cheers for the details.
@69heyitsme Phew. Thanks man....for a second I thought that all the mentally retarded ppl from this planet are gone. Thx for proving me wrong. Now shut the fuck up and go eat soup with a fork retard
it is great to see that 0 People like death on three legs! Continue to like death on two legs... this song is my childhood ( and a recorder HITACHI :)) Cheers
@IanFleming1000 : try to let the player run after the first track haha , so death on 2 legs and prophet song were openig tracks of both faces. The whole album sounds good except sweet lady maybe..
@Canteiros1 I know but it's a great song to apply to anyone in your life that you feel this way about, ex-business partners, bosses, ex-wives....Classic.
at least you can understand the words that are being sung. today's RAP CRAP is the most unintelligent bunch of violent, woman bashing crap there is. All it talks about is disrespecting women, killing cops and drugs. what a bunch of low life NO LIFES!
@Carti1983 Well, there IS that "now you can kiss my ass goodbye" line, but the fact that there is no cursing anywhere else in the song makes that line much more powerful than if he had trown it between two "fuck you" or "asshole".
@AAjupiter I love Queen. . .But to say that these lyrics make Eminem's look like grade school poetry. .You're retarded. You've obviously never listened to many of his songs. .Why do you think it's kool to diss Eminem to bring up Queen? Grade school poetry. .pfft definitely not any kind of poetry that you could do. Damn to simplify it to grade school when I guarantee you couldn't do any better. .That's saying you're below a grade school level. . .Like I said I love Queen, but I love Eminem too.
@damonkeyman889944 True. Queen is fucking fab, and so are most other well-known musicians from that time era, but by ignoring all of the modern musicians because of biased opinions against them, some people claim that all modern artists, including Eminem, are horrible AutoTuned stoner freaks. (Eminem doesn't even use autotune, except for Rihanna's vocals in Love The Way You Lie!) So yea. Older music is great, but give SOME newer music a chance. By ignoring it, you're missing out on a lot.
@AAjupiter Not to mention, these guys can actually play their asses off...while they had a real understanding of campiness, they were all top-notch musicians. I always see people like Jimmie Page and Gilmour from the time as being so good, but Brian May has to be one of the most underrated guitar-god's of the entire era...and Mercury's voice, well...he's God incarnate in terms of his voice, one of the best in rock music in the last 40 years...up there with Lisa Gerrard, Annie Haslam etc...
It was a class perfomance by the boys giving this one a live outing... but wouldn't you be bitter if you worked your arse off , for someone just to come in and steal all the rewards leaving you practically penniless? Im God damn sure I would!!
wow the quality rocks! Im wondering why the queen production team does not put this materials in a good shape and release it as a DVD? cos otherwise they will go to waste(original tapes)...
I own the DVD 'The making of a Night at the Opera' and it said that this was dedicated to John Reid, but it also said "The people that were in Business with him" so Norman Sheffield could have been one of those other business people?
I actually read that it was dedicated to John Reid who was also Elton Johns manager, Queen signed with him, but he was only interested in them for the money, hence Freddie writing one of the best Queen songs ever.
No it was dedicated to Norman Sheffield because on the making of bohemian rhapsody Norman was talking about it, he said freddie was selfish and needy and stuff like that, jerk sounds like norman was the selfish one. Frddie was wonderful:)
Didn't know there was a manager connected with this song. I played this real loud when I quit a job I'd been at for 20 years because my boss was such a p**** I couldn't stand him anymore. Freddie Mercury was the best.
your talents are on a level that my 44 year old brain cant understand... bravo bravo!! To the youth that love Queen.. I dont know what to say!! I have studied film... and this is some of greatest editing I have ever seen! Its almost scary!!
One of their best songs. Also pretty heavy, it´s almost metal sometimes, even nowadays.
