Freddie > Freddy Change my opinion

Guys shut up,it could've been auto correct

You right. No pro tools .... no digital copy paste.

Every mind is a real universe by itself..the meaning is endless...enjoy yours!

+PianoUniverse The intro and the opera-part where usually played from tape and the rest was done live by the band.

Geographus they never did the intro live

@@Geographus666 the intro was not included in their live performances at all

He wanted to give the viewer an impression of what he plays visually wise

@@LPsMartIn yes i know it mate...and personally i learned by this video thru his fingers to play the riff😁

@@thebigdudestudios me too haha!

@@thebigdudestudios 9:01 from now on I didn't understand. You understood?

Своего рода мастер класс

No it wasn't.

Prince!

People want to read meaning into everything! Sometimes, a great song is just that - a great song. People want every Queen song to have secret, mysterious references. I've read about gay references in songs written by Brian May and John Deacon! Mercury didn't write all their songs, so it's always fun to point out people have discovered "hidden gayness" in songs written by members of the band who were straight and married. I think all this secret meaning stuff started in the 60s, when drug references were written into songs and people decided Paul McCartney was dead and replaced by a fake Paul. A friend of mine gets really mad when people ask her about Paul being dead and The Beatles - for no reason - covering it up by planting a billion clues in their songs and album artwork. She had a nice response, "No. Paul's alive. Which hurts because it means he actually wrote "Silly Love Songs."

i think the same. I think this was just a fantastic song, the best ever written

klgovalpo Agreed. Here we are over 40 years later, still talking about the song - and listening to it. How many bands still sound fresh after that much time? The Doors are timeless - they don't have that swirly, twirly, psychedelic sound that dates them as a 60s band, the way The Beatles - great as they are - sound VERY 1960s. The thing is, Queen jumped on just about every trend there was ("Hot Space," anyone?) and still sound better than a few hundred bands that WERE big in 70s and the early 80s - and aren't anymore. And you watch their live performances and you see what a band can sound like if they stay together, year after year, and keep performing live instead - of retreating into the studio to create sonic masterpieces that can never be performed live. The best song ever written? One of the VERY best, anyway - I don't want to get into a fight with fans of "Stairway to Heaven," "Purple Haze," or "Born to Run"!

Kasee W What can I say? There are more crazy theories about Queen songs than there are crazy theories about "The Shining"! LOL and have a great week week. P.S. You channel is great, btw. Anyone with room for Queen, a Hendrix tutorial, AND Psycho Mary from American Idol gets my respect.

It's a fantastic song, one of my all time favourites and it holds a personal meaning to myself and a variety of other listeners. I think it's just a well constructed work of musical art that is open to various interpretations. Freddie Mercury was quoted as saying that the song is about relationships, that's all he ever said about it and that's all we'll ever know. Part of the song's legacy is that nobody truly knows what it means and we never will.

Roy Thomas Baker he was the producer.

girl it's freddie not freddy

maybe just look where his fingers are positioned?

The March of The Black Queen

conductor/composer Mantovani

The only people that knew, know or could know the actual meaning are: Kenny Everett, Mary Austin, Brian May, Roger Taylor, Jer Bulsara and Kashmire Cooke.

+lovethemills In an interview Freddie once said that he hates nothing more than analyzing his own songs and when people ask him what BoRap is about he always said "I don't know!". Roger said, that people tend to interpret to much into BoRap. BoRap started of as a relatively short song and just grew and grew and grew, so the initial idea that Freddie had writing BoRap is only a small part of what the song finally became, and because of its size people tend to belive it is about MUCH more than it actually is.

David Dietz HIV wasn’t even known about until the 80s and Freddie wasn’t diagnosed until the late 80s....so I doubt it.

I've always thought he had a feeling that he was gonna died a young age of some terminal disese.it just didn't have a name til the 80s.

David Dietz, The lyric was "Stone me and spit me in my eyes" not "stop me". In old days (from Bible or the like) People committed crime or wrong doing got stoned to death.

Well it was written long before HIV so.....no.

HIV and AIDS didn't exist until mid or early 80s

Have you done it? :)
