"Sheer Heart Attack" was half-finished at the time of the eponymous album. Roger Taylor sang lead on the demo but for the definitive version the band decided Mercury should co-sing lead vocals (probably based on the fact that May had already sung two songs and Taylor one). Guitars and bass were played by Taylor, apart from some guitar "screams" by May during the instrumental section.
During this time, the punk rock movement went into full effect, and this song was viewed as something of a jab at the musicians who felt bands like Queen were too self-indulgent. Of note is the lyric "I feel so inarticulate", and the fact that Taylor stated in interviews that he thought many of the 1970s punk bands had very little talent.

    Eb to Bb, even Sid could have played this song. Queen were no more talented, or less talented than many of the punk bands. It's all rock n roll. Queen just like any other band is easy enough to play when you heard the song a few times.......

    who is even talking about the Beatles? YOU said; "one might mistake this as being a Sex Pistols tune" - i don't see how anyone could make that mistake simply because there is no way the Pistols would be capable of playing like this
