You needed to hear the following song We Are the Champions, this leads right into that. Great song but it is really part of a 2 for 1. I can picture Freddy as I saw Queen several times with Freddy, they always did those songs together. If you ever do Led Zeppelin's Heartbreaker it leads right into Living Loving Maid, please do them together. Enjoy! 🎸

I already know that many, many have commented on Freddie Mercury - he is at the pinnacle of rock voices.

As for this song, I was once at a concert when they played this....HOLY HELL I thought the building was gonna fall down as EVERYONE was stopping in time.

@robbob5302 2 жыл бұрын

LOL! The end of this was great! "This is the same person who sings Bohemian Rhapsody??" 🤯 But yes, same guy. Freddie always pictured himself as a lead star in a Broadway musical. And he brings that drama and energy into both songs. Well, all his songs, really.

@mollyhall2954 2 жыл бұрын

If you haven't heard it, listen to him sing a song in Dave Clark's musical "Time." I think he always pictured himself as just what he became, one of the biggest rock stars of all time, and Then as everything else, and that's when he started to try it all and did his solo album, the opera album he cowrote and the song in the Time musical, and so much more! (Someone asked him to audition for something and his response was more or less, "The nerve! Me, audition! If they haven't heard what I can do by now..."

That guitar Brian May plays was built by him as a teenager with his father. It’s called The Red Special and sometimes referred to as The Fireplace and Old Lady. Also, the tone is further enhanced since Brian plays his guitar with a sixpence (English coin) where most use a plastic pick or their fingers. He truly is one of the greats.
