I love this song! This song is more proof that John Deacon (the bass player) was Queens secret weapon. His bass line is on point and is a great focus of this song. The bass is usually in the background but when Queen puts it in the spotlight, magic seems to happen.
Please, please, please, please, please, do Montreal, the best, first! The picture and sound quality are superior to all others, and Freddie does the best growl.
I like the random choice of songs rather than going in order. That way your choices come as a surprise and the commenters won’t let you miss anything.😉 And by the way, this was great.
In the “Disco” era, the 1980’s, Freddie frequented Discos & Gay Clubs in NYC & had a co-op at 425 East 58th Street, NYC. Freddie & John wanted to release an album that had more of the black/funk/disco sound for the "Hot Space" album. Brian & Roger really didn’t want to. That’s a whole other story. Anyway, John wrote “Dragon Attack” & “Another One Bites the Dust” that had those opening bass riffs. If you listen closely, the riff on “Another One Bites the Dust” sounds a little like Chiq's 1979 hit “Good Times". Chic’s bass player Bernard Edwards said that “Another One Bites the Dust” came to be because John hung out with Chic at their studio. Original Fat Bottom Girl, in SOLITARY LOCKDOWN STILL, from OHB QUEENs NYC. Chiq's 1979 hit “Good Times" ua-cam.com/video/Er9xGRolrT4/v-deo.html
Um guys....I think we have created a monster! lmao but seriously, I absolutely adore your reactions so pure and the way you enjoy yourself so much is a very positve thing to watch to make the days worries drift away for a few mins. My 13 year old daughter has the coronavirus. Her syptoms are mild and we are quarantined to our house and not the hospital but still very worrisome and enjoyed the fun distraction. Thank you!
@@trego5509 The visual is better, but The Bowl's is good, and the sound is equally good. The Bowl has a much better call and response bit -- where Freddie says he's going to teach the audience to sing like Aretha Franklin -- and it includes the bass solo that's normally not done live (after Brian had to switch guitars), plus the lyrics got screwed up in Montreal, and the song just kind of ends. The Bowl is just superior in every way except not being in HD.
There are only two things you can consistently expect from Queen: 1) greatness 2) the unexpected! If you were surprised by their funk in this song and by... well, everything about Bicycle Race, you'll really be stunned by songs like Seaside Rendezvous and Keep Passing the Open Windows! Freddie & co have included everything from ragtime to opera to jazz to soul and more into their sound at one point or another, so you'll have plenty to surprise and excite you in the future. Looking forward to the Queen show and the live version! 10/10 recommend the Montreal one for hard hitting Roger drum action and for some very growly, great Freddie vocals!
You know, if you want to be surprised -- again -- by Queen, check out Mustapha (lyric video). You'll never hear anything like it from a rock band. Same with Seaside Rendezvous, which features the middle bridge sounding like various horn instruments, but was really Freddie and Roger using their voices. It is amazing.
Okay, I'm am so freakin' excited for this. I listen to this song at least once a day on my commute to/from work - seriously, I do. It gets me going and I sing it loud and freaky in the car. Deaky's bass riff is addicting, Freddie's vocals fly, Brian and Roger bring their best. I think it's best to do studio first with this song so you can get a feel for it and then go live - my preference is Milton Keynes (I just think it's a better performance), but Montreal is also great. There has been a Dragon on my back since I first heard this song soooo many years ago... BTW: I suggest you check out It's Late (alternate version). It's a roller coaster ride of vocals and musical response!
You are right the Milton Keynes version is better then Montreal, I think people just enjoy the HD visuals of Montreal. Have you ever seen the Argentina 1981 version? It is the best version, but no one ever reacts to it, ua-cam.com/video/lvoKM6bOg8k/v-deo.html.
**Zenobia** I agree those versions are great also, but I absolutely think the Live in Montreal Version is the BEST! The video and audio are perfect and so crystal clear. Freddie’s performance is sexy, seductive and hypnotizing. Just my opinion, but it’s almost like being there and Freddie is top of his game even more than usual....slithering on the stage while Deacy and Roger are absolutely on fire. Check it out againua-cam.com/video/aWwS7pMyhCs/v-deo.html&feature=share
For the record,, this song is attributed as a Brian May composition. Though you can see how this was a Jam. I'd say that base line is all Deacy, and the Drums are all Rog
Live Montreal 1981, is to die for!! The way Freddie moves is incredible! And watch their eyes. They keep their eyes glued onto each other to decide when to end! They are so in sync!! Montreal is Amazing!! Great reaction!
Agreed! He is typical Freddie to the 100th power and the video and audio are so crystal clear it’s hard to believe that it was don almost 40 years ago. Keep Yourself Alive in Montreal is also one of my FAVORITES ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONCERT! Roger is on fire on the drums!♥️💯
I think you've hit on the best strategy, studio first followed by live. As great as they were live, they were masters in the studio & worked hard at what they wanted heard on each track on each album. Their studio work deserves to be heard along with live performances.💙 As for this song, one thing I love about it is there's no way on earth to hold still to it. As for a live performance I agree with Montreal. Not only is both image & sound clear & sharp, you get to see each band member highlighted AND some interaction between Freddie & each bandmember.💙
Faith you ABSOLUTELY WILL LOSE YOUR MIND IF YOU REACT TO THE live in Montreal version of this. The bass is off the chain and Freddie is crazy awesome and sexy owning the stage and the performance and also killing it on the vocals! Please please please do yourself a favor and react to it! It’s the BEST version of it EVER! Keep rocking and I will anxiously be waiting for your reaction. I know it will make my day and it definitely will make yours❤️❤️❤️
@@mori1bund Another one bites the dust was John Deacon's creation. He also wrote your my best friend and I want to break free. Plus he was a very good bass player.
This evolved from a jam session. “Take me back to the shack” references a local Munich bar where the band and crew hung out a lot. This was a time when all of them partied a great deal.
Please remember that the studio version is how the song was initially conceptualized and released. Only a small fraction of Queen’s fans ever saw the live shows. Yes the live versions are great but I also love the studio versions. Listening to the studio version first gives a greater appreciation for the live version. Until UA-cam came along most of us never had access to the live versions. I am loving Faith’s studio then live then Queen Show format!!
Yes, one of many Queen's underrated gems and my favourite...A masterpiece from the album "The Game" (Another one bites the dust, Crazy little thing, Save me...), written by Brian May (the lead guitarist)... They were probably all "high" when they did the song...😂😂 We all know how amazing Brian is but I go with John (the bass player)... I mean, damn this bass riff! It gives me goosebumps! And Freddie, oh our beautiful Freddie... His vocals are just on🔥🔥🔥🔥! 🥰🥰🥰
This is one of my favorites songs it's def in my top 10 songs. it is an underrated song which is a shame love the bass riff it's such a dope song. Queen are Rock royalty i Love that you do studio version before live versions
BTW, given that you love those magnificent guitar solos, has anyone yet posted for you that Brian May's red guitar was handmade by himself and his father, and with some special features as well.
Another Brian May masterpiece. Mack is a reference to their producer Reinhold Mack who they worked with for the first time on The Game. Shack is a reference to their favourite rock club the Sugar Shack in Munich. Live they totally rock out. Love your air drumming! They play the whole song at Montreal so I prefer that version, Milton Keynes is great as well.
Interesting details. I got the Mack reference but didn’t know about the Shack. This is exactly why I like reading the lyrics. A lot of times I get so rapped up in the music that I don’t pay enough attention to the words which are always so interesting.
I know you live for those harmonies! I think Queen songs have *at least* three immediately recognizable elements: Freddie's voice, naturally; the close harmonies; and Brian's guitar work, which has its own distinctive sound. Compare the tone of his solos to other bands, his guitar really has its own voice because he built it with his dad as a teenager.
I’m BEGGING FOR YOUR REACTION to Dragon Attack Live in Montreal! You think this was great....you ain’t seen NOTHING yet! Please just DO IT Faith! Anxiously waiting to see the smile on your face ❤️
Got to do Dragon Attack live Montreal 1981 .... amazing ! Total jamming session. In Dragon Attack when he sings "take me back to the Shack". The Shack is a bar in Munich that they used to go to a lot when recording. "Gonna use my stack, it's gotta be Mack ......gonna get me on the track" is a reference to Reinhold Mack who was their record producer who they band called "the Mack" and to whom the band, more so Freddie and John, became very close to. In actual fact, his third son was named by Freddie "John Frederick Mack". Freddie and John were his godfathers too. On Mack's son's birthday Freddie asked him what he wanted and he asked Freddie to turn up to his birthday party wearing his costume and wig from the video "It's a Hard Life" and so Freddie did (there are pictures evidencing this). He was in the kitchen with the Mack and apparently was so nervous about going into the room where his son was having a birthday party than performing in front of 150,000 people at Knebworth. However, he didn't disappoint his godson and turned up in the costume and wig xxxx Got to love Freddie xxxx
Oh I was sad you stopped the video at a really great part of Rogers drumming. Maybe react more after??? I sure understand stopping some, but not knowing the song you wouldn’t know you are missing a great flow, so to speak. I haven’t heard of any other reactions getting blocked or whatever UA-cam does. Many play the whole thing then discuss after without an issue, which is confusing. So exciting you are doing their entire catalog. Avid fan since 1974 when I first heard Killer Queen on the radio.
That was awesome and it was so fun to be able to join in the live chat. Thank you for doing this earlier than usual. You are truly the best. Oh, another great song from Queen. So talented, so diverse. I could listen to them all day and never be bored.
Great reaction! I do love me some Queen! The song “It’s Late” would be a great reaction.I’m like you, I know think Queen and LED Zeppelin ar3 the top two bands.
love your reactions by the song from queen YES QUEEN IS THE GREATEST BAND EVER greetings from belgium

This is the immediate track before, ‘another one bites the dust ‘, on, ‘the game’, album from 1980. Speaking of which, the title track, ‘play the game’, might interest you somewhat.
Faith - awesome reaction! You brightened my day and even had me laughing when you called out, there it is, the Gospel harmonies. You had me thinking of a Jack-in-the-box, just wind up a Queen song and sooner or later the harmonizing choir pops out! 😂🤣😂. I think of Queen as musical chameleons, especially Freddie! You will find they did rock, progressive rock, early thrash metal, ballads, folk, stadium anthems, blues, calypso, pop, opera, etc. I love the idea of starting with their early work, another option is to alternate between their first album and their last studio album so you can get a great juxtaposition of their work. Please, please, please do “The Miracle” pleaseeeeeeee! 🙏🙏🙏
'Gonna use my stack. It's gotta be Mack' refers to their producer Reinhold Mack who was very close to Freddie. Freddie was even the Godfather to Mack's youngest son named 'Freddie Mack'.
Queen although were a rock group they went from jazz, blues, gospel, pop, rap, heavy metal, rock, soft rock, hard rock, opera, and all are fab. BTW listen to the studio 1st then move to the live where possible then you will see the true skills.
The more you do, the more you are going to see they were all over the board genre wise, they didn't stick to just one, making it able to reach everyone and the type of music each person liked. You should hear him sing the blues....yes he did that too as well as opera....lol. And it's also said that as we know rarely if ever did Freddie miss a note vocally, Brian May never hit a wrong note on the guitar, AT LEAST not to where anyone can find anyhow, so as it stands he is a perfect guitarist.
I'm a Queen fan since I listened Innuendo song, that song surprises you, and then suprises another time, and another time. Led Zeppelin is a inspiration for Innuendo, and a master guitarist but i don't want to spoiler the surprise. And you have to listen Dragon Attack in Milton Keynes with Freddie sitting with the audience and "doing something little like Aretha Franklin"
When you watch this live, they were known for their light show that was coordinated with the music. When he says take me to the room where the reds are red, the lights go red, same with when he sings green, the lights go green. The perfection of the details was very important to Freddie especially. When they talk about getting ready for a show, they spend days getting the lighting right, and multiple sound checks with delays erc. so the sound wouldn't be distorted for the sudience regardless of where they were seated. It all added up to a great performance ua-cam.com/video/u61P6k9Pzkg/v-deo.html The above link is a good interview where Brian does a short explanation of a song off the different albums. Good information
First time I heard this I thought "Deaky's gone wild with the funk!" but no - it was Brian. Particularly love the layering - Roger's insane drums, Deaky's blissful bass, Brian making magic with his guitar and those vocals from the master!!
Queen’s first try at black/funk/disco sound was "Fun It" from the “Jazz” album, which Roger sings. Original Fat Bottom Girl, in SOLITARY LOCKDOWN STILL, from OHB QUEENs NYC. “Jazz” . ua-cam.com/video/LxPQF4K5ocg/v-deo.html
John Bonham STUDIED the great drummers of the past, the jazz, and big band players and then took that knowledge and applied it to Zeppelins songs. I agree Queen is my favorite and Zeppelin a close second. But for years I places Stairway above Bohemian Rhapsody as the all time number 1 rock song of all time. However, Zeppelin has been involved in a law suit with a band (they toured with) called Spirit, The song in question is called Taurus. Take a listen for yourself and then tell me the “hook” of BOTH Stairway and Taurus aren’t the same. So NOW I can without question or personal bias put BOH RAP in that #1 spot ! Hallelujah !
Queen's funk influence actually came mostly from Freddie hanging out in the New Yorker club scene in the late 70s and disco fan John Deacon being friends with funk & R&B bands like Chic. If you think that's funky you should listen to songs like "Cool Cat", "Back Chat" or "Dancer" (who btw flopped with Queen's rock fan base, who didn't like that direction at all ^^).
I'm so stoked you did Dragon Attack! I created a Spotify playlist called "The Essential Queen You've Never Heard" and Dragon Attack is on it! Such a GREAT song that not a lot of people know because it wasn't a single :D
Well your loving the studio version, you will need gods help on the live one...... Queen getting inspired by zeppelin on blues/ rock...... i think you will find Brian May got a lot of his from Rory Gallagher.... as he said himself, Rory gave him his sound and Tie your mother down is straight from Rory......... keep it going 👍👍👍
Well, i have not listen to queen chronologically. I mean only if you were born in the 50s or 60s you could have listened to them publishing their albums. And i think that you can enjoy their variety, the difference of styles and influences better if you jump through time.
I feel like the studio version and the live at milton keynes version of this song is perfect because pretty much everyone in the band has their solo Drum solo, Bass solo and Guitar solo. It has it all
Definitely prefer the studio version on this particular song but that's just me i suppose and that is not to say I don't like the live versions (because I do!)
Queen has been my life since 1986, they are like family to me, listen to them every single day, I love them. I have met Brian several times and he has always been a gent. This song rocks. Go biblical with "Jesus" or "Mad the Swine" real early tracks.
@@humphr1d Brian's guitar solo in "Jesus" is epic, Mad to Swine was meant to be on thier first album but deemed too similar in its context to Jesus to also be on the album so was left off and resurfaced as a B side in 1991 I think for "I'm going slightly mad"
I also read that “Mad the Swine” was left off because if a disagreement between the band (Roger specifically) and the record producer over the drum track and this song was shelved for many years.
I love this song! This song is more proof that John Deacon (the bass player) was Queens secret weapon. His bass line is on point and is a great focus of this song. The bass is usually in the background but when Queen puts it in the spotlight, magic seems to happen.
Please, please, please, please, please, do Montreal, the best, first! The picture and sound quality are superior to all others, and Freddie does the best growl.
Love this song...love your reaction! They are most definitely musical geniuses...they have created songs in every musical genre you can think of.
Amen, alleluia 😎
I like the random choice of songs rather than going in order. That way your choices come as a surprise and the commenters won’t let you miss anything.😉 And by the way, this was great.
In the “Disco” era, the 1980’s, Freddie frequented Discos & Gay Clubs in NYC & had a co-op at 425 East 58th Street, NYC. Freddie & John wanted to release an album that had more of the black/funk/disco sound for the "Hot Space" album. Brian & Roger really didn’t want to. That’s a whole other story.

lmao but seriously, I absolutely adore your reactions so pure and the way you enjoy yourself so much is a very positve thing to watch to make the days worries drift away for a few mins. My 13 year old daughter has the coronavirus. Her syptoms are mild and we are quarantined to our house and not the hospital but still very worrisome and enjoyed the fun distraction. Thank you!
Try spread your wings.
And i insist on White queen live 🤭
Please, please, please, when you react to the live version, go with it live at The Bowl, not Montreal
Both are good, but video quality visual and sound is better on Montreal
@@trego5509 True, but I think the performance is better at Keynes.
@@trego5509 The visual is better, but The Bowl's is good, and the sound is equally good. The Bowl has a much better call and response bit -- where Freddie says he's going to teach the audience to sing like Aretha Franklin -- and it includes the bass solo that's normally not done live (after Brian had to switch guitars), plus the lyrics got screwed up in Montreal, and the song just kind of ends. The Bowl is just superior in every way except not being in HD.
Argentina Bruenos Aires 1981 is actually the best, unfortunately no one ever reacts to it. ua-cam.com/video/lvoKM6bOg8k/v-deo.html

Live, live, live, live. Personal fav is Montreal, but Milton Keynes is excellent too. Why not both lol
Looking forward to it. Nice to have something else to think about other than politics and corona virus stuff.😬
The live version from Montreal 81 is best!
You know, if you want to be surprised -- again -- by Queen, check out Mustapha (lyric video). You'll never hear anything like it from a rock band. Same with Seaside Rendezvous, which features the middle bridge sounding like various horn instruments, but was really Freddie and Roger using their voices. It is amazing.
Oh yes, mustapha...unexpectedly different...
Oooo, get ready for some FUNK in the mix ! Brian May wrote it, but you can tell he was thinking of John Deacon’s bass abilities when creating it !
I’m Weak For Deaky YES. One of my favorite bass lines for queen!
I also love Deaky’s bass solo in “Liar”. I jam to it everyday!
Okay, I'm am so freakin' excited for this. I listen to this song at least once a day on my commute to/from work - seriously, I do. It gets me going and I sing it loud and freaky in the car.

John Deacon is son highly underrated as as bassist. The man has killer skills!!
Plus he created two of the best known bass riffs of all time: Another One Bites the Dust & Under Pressure.
@@mori1bund Another one bites the dust was John Deacon's creation. He also wrote your my best friend and I want to break free. Plus he was a very good bass player.
Both Montreal and the bowl are great live performances , I'll be happy with either
This evolved from a jam session. “Take me back to the shack” references a local Munich bar where the band and crew hung out a lot. This was a time when all of them partied a great deal.
And, "it's gotta be Mack" refers to their sound engineer in Munich, Reinhold Mack.
Yes as other say, for this one Montreal live, not sure studio version is needed for this one.
But did you see how much FaithChase was enjoying the studio version? She'll enjoy the live version as well. It's good to hear both.
@@etc7070 Plus, she only gets the "gospel choir" in the studio version.
Please remember that the studio version is how the song was initially conceptualized and released. Only a small fraction of Queen’s fans ever saw the live shows.

Right on darling...
This started out as as Jam session, and they liked it, so worked on it more
I have loved this band's music forever and I'm so glad that you are really enjoying it. QUEEN4EVER!
This is one of my favorites songs it's def in my top 10 songs. it is an underrated song which is a shame love the bass riff it's such a dope song. Queen are Rock royalty i Love that you do studio version before live versions
The best thing about Queen is you never know❤️😃👍
BTW, given that you love those magnificent guitar solos, has anyone yet posted for you that Brian May's red guitar was handmade by himself and his father, and with some special features as well.
Another Brian May masterpiece. Mack is a reference to their producer Reinhold Mack who they worked with for the first time on The Game. Shack is a reference to their favourite rock club the Sugar Shack in Munich. Live they totally rock out. Love your air drumming!

I like Milton Keynes a lot more than Montreal for this one.

Got to do Dragon Attack live Montreal 1981 .... amazing ! Total jamming session.
In Dragon Attack when he sings "take me back to the Shack". The Shack is a bar in Munich that they used to go to a lot when recording. "Gonna use my stack, it's gotta be Mack ......gonna get me on the track" is a reference to Reinhold Mack who was their record producer who they band called "the Mack" and to whom the band, more so Freddie and John, became very close to.

Yes yes yes!!! Please do the Montreal version. Dragon Attack and Another one bites the dust. Thankyououou!❤

BTW listen to the studio 1st then move to the live where possible then you will see the true skills.
The more you do, the more you are going to see they were all over the board genre wise, they didn't stick to just one, making it able to reach everyone and the type of music each person liked. You should hear him sing the blues....yes he did that too as well as opera....lol. And it's also said that as we know rarely if ever did Freddie miss a note vocally, Brian May never hit a wrong note on the guitar, AT LEAST not to where anyone can find anyhow, so as it stands he is a perfect guitarist.
I'm a Queen fan since I listened Innuendo song, that song surprises you, and then suprises another time, and another time. Led Zeppelin is a inspiration for Innuendo, and a master guitarist but i don't want to spoiler the surprise.
And you have to listen Dragon Attack in Milton Keynes with Freddie sitting with the audience and "doing something little like Aretha Franklin"
You will react to my fav fav song Faith,my reminder is set and im ready yassss 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
"barcelona"
When you watch this live, they were known for their light show that was coordinated with the music. When he says take me to the room where the reds are red, the lights go red, same with when he sings green, the lights go green. The perfection of the details was very important to Freddie especially. When they talk about getting ready for a show, they spend days getting the lighting right, and multiple sound checks with delays erc. so the sound wouldn't be distorted for the sudience regardless of where they were seated. It all added up to a great performance

The above link is a good interview where Brian does a short explanation of a song off the different albums. Good information
Understand the need to pause, but thanks for respecting "the guitar solos"!!!!
Hi Faith! I think it’s a good idea to start at the beginning of their discography. They have a ton of music to react to.
First time I heard this I thought "Deaky's gone wild with the funk!" but no - it was Brian. Particularly love the layering - Roger's insane drums, Deaky's blissful bass, Brian making magic with his guitar and those vocals from the master!!
You would be so much fun to hang out with! Have a great weekend!
Love it! Thanks again.
Queen’s first try at black/funk/disco sound was "Fun It" from the “Jazz” album, which Roger sings. Original Fat Bottom Girl, in SOLITARY LOCKDOWN STILL, from OHB QUEENs NYC.
“Jazz” .

John Bonham STUDIED the great drummers of the past, the jazz, and big band players and then took that knowledge and applied it to Zeppelins songs. I agree Queen is my favorite and Zeppelin a close second. But for years I places Stairway above Bohemian Rhapsody as the all time number 1 rock song of all time. However, Zeppelin has been involved in a law suit with a band (they toured with) called Spirit, The song in question is called Taurus. Take a listen for yourself and then tell me the “hook” of BOTH Stairway and Taurus aren’t the same. So NOW I can without question or personal bias put BOH RAP in that #1 spot ! Hallelujah !
Queen's funk influence actually came mostly from Freddie hanging out in the New Yorker club scene in the late 70s and disco fan John Deacon being friends with funk & R&B bands like Chic.
If you think that's funky you should listen to songs like "Cool Cat", "Back Chat" or "Dancer" (who btw flopped with Queen's rock fan base, who didn't like that direction at all ^^).
I'm so stoked you did Dragon Attack! I created a Spotify playlist called "The Essential Queen You've Never Heard" and Dragon Attack is on it! Such a GREAT song that not a lot of people know because it wasn't a single :D
Well your loving the studio version, you will need gods help on the live one...... Queen getting inspired by zeppelin on blues/ rock...... i think you will find Brian May got a lot of his from Rory Gallagher.... as he said himself, Rory gave him his sound and Tie your mother down is straight from Rory......... keep it going 👍👍👍
I have my reminder set see ya tonight
Hey excellent Ken see you then :-)
Well, i have not listen to queen chronologically. I mean only if you were born in the 50s or 60s you could have listened to them publishing their albums. And i think that you can enjoy their variety, the difference of styles and influences better if you jump through time.
LOVE your reaction!!! Please do the live version from Montreal '81!
They came in after a night of partying. Drunk. Went to the studio. Wrote this song and recorded it.
This song came from the album "The Game".Love to see your reaction to "Play The Game"
I feel like the studio version and the live at milton keynes version of this song is perfect because pretty much everyone in the band has their solo Drum solo, Bass solo and Guitar solo. It has it all
Definitely prefer the studio version on this particular song but that's just me i suppose and that is not to say I don't like the live versions (because I do!)
Brian May plays pretty good guitar for an Astro-Physicist, Huh?
Best thing about the songs baseline is that, on the album The Game, when it ends, it goes directly into Another One Bites The Dust.
Queen has been my life since 1986, they are like family to me, listen to them every single day, I love them. I have met Brian several times and he has always been a gent. This song rocks. Go biblical with "Jesus" or "Mad the Swine" real early tracks.
The Queen & toy collector I love both those songs! I have played them for some of my church friends and they freaked when I told them that was Queen!
@@humphr1d Brian's guitar solo in "Jesus" is epic, Mad to Swine was meant to be on thier first album but deemed too similar in its context to Jesus to also be on the album so was left off and resurfaced as a B side in 1991 I think for "I'm going slightly mad"
Sorry Headlong single
I also read that “Mad the Swine” was left off because if a disagreement between the band (Roger specifically) and the record producer over the drum track and this song was shelved for many years.
