[volcanaustin246]

My ex was one of the 8 people to dislike this song.

[hollykirk13]

God I just LOVE Queen so FREAKING MUCH! I'm 13 and listen 2 REAL MUSIC! If I had 3 wishes they would be.....

1: 2 have met Freddie Mercury

2: 2 have been able 2 sing with him (check out my channel 4 me singing)

and 3: 2 have been able 2 just be there at 1 of there shows

[Lemonz617]

@hollykirk13

Nobody cares how old you are.

[Maxharddrive64]

8 people are Death on 2 leggs, so now u can kiss..,my ass.........goodbye

[THEATREofPAIN270]

In my opinion one of the greatest Queen tunes "ever". Brian May tears it up in this one, Just listen to it, Amazing shit. After posting this I am going to listen to it again, But {{LOUDER}}

[wingknight09]

wall street's song last year.

[killdoser123]

I heard this on the radio and I cranked it while going passed a Muslim church. I'm so bad :3 I PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AND CRACKED IN TO 25 IN MY DODGE CHARGER FROM '69

[hollykirk13]

I freakin LOVE QUEEN and I'm 13 yrs. old. Instead of listening 2 auto-tuned crap I actually listen 2 REAL music. QUEEN 4ever<3

[theclassicrock69]

ultimate slam song

[nnaymick]

The eight people that dislike this song are actually completely def. True story!

[THEATREofPAIN270]

@nnaymick LMAO, Good comment dude.

[Tcassa89]

I dedicate this song to the US congress 

[MegaGammo]

my art teacher gave me A Night at the Opera on vinyl! YES!

[MegaGammo]

This is great stuff. I have loved this band since ... Second grade I believe. Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest singers of all time. His legacy will live on.

[moneyquickeasy]

Man, no band will ever compare to the greatness of Queen. Long live the best band this world will ever know.

[opening2heal]

rip Freddie ... 20 years ... I remember the day you left us ... I was only 4

[mpjgbx]

What's a barrow-boy?

[newfuckingwave]

greatest queen song? in this humble man's opinion, YES

[Nyarlathotep9]

I love how the last line in the song pretty much says "Kill yourself so I can laugh during your funeral".

Freddie always did have a way with words. Between Freddie's vocals and Brian's immaculate guitar playing, I still get chills during this song.

[nanachatqueentoutout]

muhahahahahahahahah!MUHAHAHAHA­!MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[legoluvver]

@nanachatqueentoutout

Exactly!

[nanachatqueentoutout]

@legoluvver :)

[xXCrimzonBlazeXx]

This song just DRIPS of venom. It's anger, frustration, and resent all perfectly packaged together with a ribbon and a card that simply reads "Fuck you". A brilliant opening track to a brilliant album.

This just goes to show, you don't fuck with Freddie Mercury.

[splodersplee]

whats funny is that on the album a really cheerful song comes on after this

[doctorw2]

this song is very very very hard to play and sing.

[bambamh20]

FUCK IN CLASSIC !

[NS9213]

Looks like 8 dissenters have been breached..............

[Ruffyalso]

Queen along with Led Zeppelin & Pink Floyd were the all time best British rock groups. I left out "The Stones" they are on another dimension.

[iammaxhailme]

Why have I never heard this song before

This is like top 5 queen songs easily

I thought I knew all the really good ones, lol

[jesusfreakmami]

i believe this song was written about a business in Boca Raton, FL; it is probably illegal to tell you the name but all I can say is, before you hire anyone especially to have access to your home, check not only the BBB but reviews on TrustLink and any other sites you can!!What a nightmare!

[Stabripbeef]

This is just great!

[CRBjeep]

@BrokenSunBand Wow,you're cool and have validation as a person!

[HarleyMurphy100]

you break the law and you -breech- as in breech of contract.  not preach.

[DoodleHero]

@HarleyMurphy100 Breach. Breeches are a type of pants. <:

[legoluvver]

@BrokenSunBand

I'm 19 and I have it on vinyl as well! Vinyl is making a comeback, I tell you!

[chiaromontestephen]

@legoluvver vinyl has already made a comeback. i believe they released a 2011 remastered vinyl. i heard it sounds fantastic.

[MrGlenntipton]

lol, insane,you should be put inside

you're a sewer rat,decaying in a cesspool of pride

youshould be made unemployed, make yourself null and void make me feel good!

[MrGlenntipton]

BRIAN MAY the tonemaster!

[MrGlenntipton]

you're just an overgrown school boy...

[arryarrfiddledeedee]

Freddie mercury's manager was a nigger

[SaintNight]

Where's the CRACKED at?

[WellPaidScientistDK]

I'm sad that I can only click the like button once :,(

[Jvaughan777spider]

really ingenious lyrics there are in this song

[itsbridgetlogann]

Has anyone else ever been REALLY pissed, then just put this song on in their car and drove around in rage? IT"S AWESOMEEEE!

[emilyt2112]

This album came out in '75 , when I was a YUNG 'UN. I have been listening to it since, thanks to GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC uncles!!  This is the ONLY album I bought on Vinyl, 8Track, Cassette and CD. Still have the Gold Plated CD and I listen to it AT LEAST once every couple weeks. IT ROCKS!!!

[xFoxMulderFBI]

thumbs up if you haveing good taste in music brought you here !

[jmiester25]

this boilermaker makes me feel like i'm on this song......yeah that's a total System of a Down reference

[Battle4MiddleEarth]

sory you had to go, i will raise a class and toast to you. You sing what we feel and seem to touched so many of us. I pray you found Jesus on your last days my friend.

[Battle4MiddleEarth]

sory you had to go, i will raise a class and toast to you. You song what we feel and seem to touched so many of us. I pray you found Jesus on your last days my friend.

[icklestick]

my boyfriend set this as my ringtone, cause apparently it suits me. i dont think he's actually heard it yet. fail. but the upside is, i get to listen to it everytime my phone goes off!

[JackDawson1010]

"Dedicated to one real motherfucker of a gentleman"

-Freddie Mercury

[killdoser123]

@JackDawson1010 He also said at earls court THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO A NATSY OLD MAN I USED TO KNOW THIS IS CALLED DEATH ON TWO LEGS!

[GouledXD]

@JackDawson1010 I think Wikipedia said this is dedicated to Queen's old manager.

[amanders222]

puts cee lo green's forget you to shame

[xD00D0]

@amanders222 Uhh, I think you mean Cee Lo Green's song, f*** you, cause "forget you" is a horrible version of that song anyway. And yes, Death on Two Legs is THE BEST F*** You song EVER.

[motorsportsgarage]

love this song

[PlancusxKingOfJerks]

This is good.

[jevonsekk]

intro is too long

[beantownbig3]

@jevonsekk who cares if the intro is "too long"? it's a great song nonetheless! :)

[jevonsekk]

@beantownbig3 I've changed my mind. I've listened to this song several times now and I like the intro. I don't like the editing of it though. For example: How Freddie's voice is low and then suddenly loud. I'm referring to "You suck my blood like a leach part"

[bassmanjoe]

@jevonsekk Too long?? Too good!!

[dajesusblues]

This fucking song should be the anthem of todays gen to all the pols and assholes out there. Go for it. Advice from the old school.

[MrDlobMusic]

was that to their precedent manager on their two previous albums that stole some money from them?

[ImaginaryMania]

@MrDlobMusic Yes. Isn't it glorious?

[MrDlobMusic]

@ImaginaryMania sweet revenge

[CRBjeep]

@MrDlobMusic Yep.



[Korvinski]

Totally awesome is QUEEN. Even from back in the late 60s when they were college buds playing ORIGINAL rock music at frat parties, local pubs & whatnot...in fact, QUEEN is the ONLY rock band that can boast that ALL 4 members are actual college graduates, majoring in music which, explains THE GREATEST ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME. Sorry but, it's true - the Stones, Zeppelin, Boston, Rush - you name 'em - NONE of them can compare to the virtuosos that are QUEEN!! Only the Beatles can MAYBE come close!

[TylerSchepers]

@Korvinski

PRETTY sure they didn't all major in music. Actually, I don't think any of them did. Also, I can't tell at ALL that your favoritist band ever, who you'd probably drop your panties for, is Queen. You don't let it show at all.

Also, I love Queen. But I'm not going to make some idiotic statement on youtube about how a college education in music can make you a better musician and songwriter than somebody who doesn't have an education.

[Killstapp]

@Korvinski Dream Theater (was) all a bunch of guys from the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

[zipalooie]

@Korvinski Dimmu Borgir were also music students.

[No1Bet]

@Korvinski - I agree, totally awesome band!

[xFoxMulderFBI]

none of you that wright comments are queen fans i know you not please stay the hell out of here or any rock channles you degrade your race stay out of here

[xFoxMulderFBI]

you know you just say these comments because you wanto piss me off so you know that i know now ..... so stop it

[WildBillHickums]

1:47-1:54 reminds me of a part in that song "Be prepared" in the Lion King movie.

[FunDaMentalistTV]

8 people do the hansa on a daily basis

[MrPiroshii]

Dedicated to a real motherfucker of a man XD

[xaramf]

You know what, you guys are right. For years I've tried to sell Muse to my buddies by explaining them as the spiritual successors of Queen (Mainly on the virtue of their broad spectrum of play). A Muse cover of this would be awesome. Until they put it in some teeny-bopper big budget movie-machine and ruin it :/

Oh cynicism, thine name is Chris.

[bobj823]

Im 12 and i absolutely love QUEEN!!! <3

[QueenandPirates4eva]

Death On Two Legs was one of the best Queen songs written! Luvvs it! :D

[noobHNTer]

muse could do this song,exept maybe for the singing,as they don't have freddie lol

[Toyz4twats1]

I've still got this...on vinyl. Christ I'm old! And this tune still rocks!

[icklestick]

@Toyz4twats1 dont worry, so do i , and i'm no where near old yet. vinyl's just the way to go.

[WellPaidScientistDK]

@Toyz4twats1 means nothin brotha! I'm 23 and I've got this on vinyl. Good music is good music. This surpasses good music.

[newfuckingwave]

@Toyz4twats1 don't worry i do as well. however my copy used to be my uncle's :P

[beatlephan1982]

@Toyz4twats1 i have this on vinyl too... don't feel bad...(only thing i was born in 82) but hey feel privileged that your generation of music will be much more admired than the crap they put out today.. i highly doubt that there's going to be as many die hard bieber fans in 40 years as there are queen, stone, beatle fans

[MegaGammo]

@Toyz4twats1 I have this on vinyl and I am 14 years old. My art teacher gave me his " A Night at the Opera" record I am psyched!

[tru11666]

My first album. I was 9 in '75 and this made me a rocker.

[MrSuperglu]

dedicated to all the no good low life heartbreakers who dont have a heart

[Polybun]

@MrSuperglu it wasn't dedicated to a heart breaker at all.. it was written about a buisness manager that ripped the band off.

[Ozgarthefighter]

@Polybun who was also having an affair with one of the band members at the time

[pbrick6301]

great guitar player. good drummer. good bass player.

[maximumridechik]

@pbrick6301 and the singer?

[zolfingtons]

@maximumridechik THE BEST.

[Bambiezbotron]

Queen never fails to satisfy!

[runthemachine]

Woke up with this song in my head this morning... out of the blue, for no 'reason'. Recall is such a funny, random thing.

I must be about the same age as the dude who said that he (like me) wore this LP out in the middle school days. Ditto, Bro. Back then we called it Jr. High. LoL. =)

[RoddyMyagi]

Was the fin on your back a part of the deal?.........SHARK!

[DillanLM]

rip freddie

[scabbard56]

Death on two legs, actually the whole album, still stands the test of time. Used to play this LP over and over again when I was in middle school years ago. Great FU song to a management team that was sucking this band dry back in the day. The band didn't even have money for basic living expenses and were in debt at the time. RIP Freddie.

[matco24]

@darrylg1963 you know I'm fine with you having your own opinion..but when u call me names, your just making urself look stupid and it errodes whtever ur point ur trying to make

[kingsergio128]

this song should be dedicated to my exs stupid whores xD

[matco24]

takes one to know one jackass!

[matco24]

@darrylg1963 hmmm mean spirited much?

[RylandoMusic]

@darrylg1963 You're very aweome, sir.

[IIAssMilkII]

whoever dislikes this song should go suck a butt.

[bluetomany]

@IIAssMilkII thats nasty:0

[SwanginNBanginENT]

I see there is 8 "Misguided Old Mules" out there

[CellarDoor06]

This; Death on Two Legs by Queen, "Hit Em' Up" by 2pac, and "Ether" by Nas are some of the best retaliation songs made in musical History. Hah, I wonder what Mozart or Beethoven would come up with, had they ever found themselves in a beef. :D

[BlackSabbathory]

Freddie could've easily fronted a metal band, he was just that good.

[svagrod]

@BlackSabbathory ...When this came out IT WAS METAL for the time.They didn't call it metal back then.

[loqutor]

At concerts, Freddie would dedicate this song to "One motherfucker of a gentleman."

[gmenrule1024]

A Night At The Opera- with lasers!

[harveydents]

NOW THIS IS METAL!

[1962drob]

I can really relate to this song right now. The way my job is treating me, I feel like saying "Now You Can Kiss My Ass Goodbye". This song fits the way I'm feeling right now. People at my work are assholes!

[Islander113]

8 people think this song is about them...

[MotionAllegiance]

FUCK YOU SHEFFIELD!

[greenadrenaline6405]

Hahaha Queen's most dirtiest song and by dirty I mean using the word ass. This band didn't need to curse to be what they are today. Never won a grammy either. This band is the real deal.

[vampolka]

The first gig I ever played was filling in for the bass player of a Queen tribute band called 'Death on Ten Legs'

I'm very happy I took the gig, looking back that many years.

[bowiemott]

@vampolka Clever name for a Queen tribute band - "death on ten legs".

[jobreton]

Death on two legs (dedicated to the 8 who dislikes this video)

[fat8622]

@jobreton The best "fuck the dislikers" comment ever

[1962drob]

@jobreton Yeah, Right? I can relate to that. Although I dedicate this to my bosses at my job I just lost this week. But now, they can Kiss My Ass Goodbye!

[ScooterGirl9988]

I guess Freddie's hatred of Sheffield wasn't completely purged with "Flick of the Wrist". Just as well because without it we would never have gotten this brilliant "fuck you" letter. Of course, the ultimate "fuck you" came as Queen rolled out hit after hit; I'll bet Sheffield wanted to hang himself more than once for being such a short sighted and greedy son of a bitch.

[TjMrazFan]

I think this might be the best album I own :o This or Appetite for Destruction

[1962drob]

"But now you can kiss my ass goodbye", Oh, how I can relate to that man. I may lose my job, so this is an approprate song if that happens!!!

[charvelguy]

man, this beats listening to the 8 track in a 63 Ford Galaxy 500 fidelity wise..

[arouska]

8 people can kiss my ass goodbye

[DavePerry2012]

@arouska Let me tan their hides. XD

[1962drob]

@arouska Yeah, Man, I hear ya!!! These 8 people can Kiss My Ass Goodbye too. How the hell can you even have a "Dislike" Button on such a Fucking cool song like this, anyway?

[necromancerman666]

Queen has to be one of the best bands of all time to have played with a piano long live queen!

[retnr]

Awesome..

[DavePerry2012]

Wow...that as a hell of an intro.

[lisamconveyness]

wowowowow this is amazing, after listening to them for so long it's impossible to ever get bored!

[Frankiee88]

@lisamconveyness Hahaha I know that feeling. Lately I've spent so many hours listening to Queen, and yet the more I listen to them, the more I WANT to listen to them. It's amazing, just amazing ^^

[solarDeviant]

@Frankiee88 Yeah and I swear I will go deaf very soon from listening to their songs everyday!

[arith420]

i dont care what anyone says queen is the shit

[joemegaded]

this song is like ... damn fuckin awesome freddy was a real genious

[solarDeviant]

@joemegaded I agree! If you also listen to "Flick of the Wrist" that's the other 'angry' song I like.... He should have written more angry songs because they were amazing! LOL ;)

[Tes80]

@solarDeviant Yeah, love Liar too!

[anhrodnee]

In my opinion this the best LP from queen. It was this song that caught my attention to buy this LP cos it was the 1st track on this album and i was convinced already.

[SuperOddjobs]

Honestly, if I were going to fit 20 songs into a greatest hits for queen, well I'ed probobly fail bevause a night at the opera alone has about 4 or 5 songs that deserve to be in it. Then again, the majority of queen albums would probably have that same number as well.

[qurazy]

I love the Heathen version as well.

[runwayblond]

@qurazy Far too heavy. Not volume - MESSAGE

[dorkandproudofit]

The best "fuck you" ever written into music!

[1962drob]

@dorkandproudofit Yup!!! Just lost my job, so I can so relate to this song!!!

[skorziks]

This song is just dripping with venom. Freddie was one pissed off mofo when he wrote this!

[Trogdorwillrise]

funny how hatred can inspire such a beautiful song

[solarDeviant]

@Trogdorwillrise haha yeah! Also "Flick of the Wrist" is another 'angry' song, which I like :P

[StrangerInMyStreet]

My gosh. **

[rastesdcat]

Oh my, the best Queen song ever .......

[sue213ful]

this song is so awesome. one of my favorites

[irinayugiohfan]

THIS SONG ROCKS!!!!

[kulliakaikille]

all time high, liked them since shear heart attack, but this is a classic

[kulliakaikille]

all time high, liked them since sheer heart attack, but this is a classic

[billgeezeriommi]

my favorite song on this album

[PhuckedVideos]

Norman Sheffield has watched this video 7 times.

[WalkingDeath43]

I wish everyone could tell their agents to fuck themselves as well as Queen did.

[drewzillasaurusrex]

You suck my blood like a leach? What kind of sh*t is that?

[joeblowthehot]

Vodka for Breakfast Gin for dinner...now my day is compete!

[vitamincity]

whoever this is dedicated to pressed the damn dislike button 7 times

[billgeezeriommi]

@vitamincity its dedicated to their old manager

[jessypetenutbearwent]

Brian May's Riffs in this are legendary

Freddie Your a true Gentleman

[Queenluver94]

i love this song out of all the queen songs i seem to always come back to this one...i think this cd is the most played out of my other queen cd's...i love how the song starts with the piano it gives me shivers everytime and i dont know why and than theres freddies voice it sounds so deep in this song i love it

[kraljina888]

N. Sheffield was an ass.

[sockmonkeyfeaver13]

Dedicated to what nikki sixx liked to call neglectrika records

[iamcasihart]

I am so serious when I write this...I have never heard anything more interesting and beautiful than this, (and many other Queen songs). But it is this song and that intro that literally makes the hairs on my arms stand on end and I literally shiver all over. I will forever be sad that I missed seeing Queen and Freddie in concert. I was born in '78. I missed all of the good times of the 70s and into the early 80s.

[SirStokie]

@iamcasihart how do you think i feel born 1996 :(

[meoddball]

I remember playing this album after I came home from school before I started my dreaded homework! Then I felt better...wait.. I feel better now!

[Goatllama]

This song is obviously about (you're tearing me apart) Lisa! 

[icarus212001]

@Goatllama I AM FED UP WITH DIS WORRL.
