From Wikipedia: "Mercury composed this song on piano in 1973, and the song is one only two Queen songs (the other being Bohemian Rhapsody) containing polyrhythm/polymeter (two different time signatures simultaneously 8/8 and 12/8) and a simpler polyrhythm around the end uptempo section, which is very rare for popular music.

It's called "progressive rock", a very experimental genre. Queen was a prog rock band in their first years. Yes, Genesis and Pink Floyd were Prog rock as well. You're welcome :)
@@PepeLuguillo I feel like its more of an operatic rock. Prog rock is more of those, longer, more complex songs that have multiple different movements, much like (as you mentioned) Genesis’s “Supper’s Ready” and Rush’s “2112”. I wouldn’t say that it is necessarily defined as a prog rock song, but it does have elements of prog rock in it.
Exactly. I mostly listen to Bohemian Rhapsody and their 80s pop hits when I listen to them somewhere else, but not for choice. These 70s songs were the ones that made me fall for their music
They're getting there that's for sure as more people become acclimated with queen and do deep dives into their catalog everyone stops and says holy s***!
My god this song is just everything. What ever Freddie was smoking when he wrote this I want it so I can write something as batshit insane as this. Everything feels like it belongs there and every note is perfectly placed. By the end it feels like it was inevitable that the song took he path it did. It's just incredible. I'd die to hear anything about how it was written.
🌷🌷... Freddie was born with the Gift, darling... no smoke in the world could sustain such an amazing genious 💛💚💜💙 If you google 'The March of the Black Queen history' you will find more😉😉💕
Everytime people say 'this is the best queen song' I get confused. How can you..? I mean, they recorded 15 albums featuring 10 songs each. I can't decide. And I guess I never will.
Blandin Laurento as an album it is far more consistent and committed than any of the 80's album . But it's a very dark album album and most of queens work was triumphant and happy. Only one poor song on innuendo which is Delilah.
i realized Brian may made rivals for some of Freddie's songs: *We Are The Champions (Freddie) = We Will Rock You (Brian)* *The March Of The Black Queen (Freddie) = White Queen (Brian)* *Bohemian Rhapsody (Freddie) = Prophet's Song (Brian)*
But freddie would've crushed him with killer queen , under pressure , somebody to love , innuendo , the miracle , crazy thing called love and many more
The piano in this song is brilliant. It gives it that little something extra. One of the many things that made Freddie Mercury so great was his piano playing
Mysty /\ 💁🏾♀️ He only started feeling that way 'cos the media were brutal on him...essentially saying he'd used the same 3 fingers on both hands and played them by cords. I don't understand the hate they'd bestowed upon him at that time. He was over the top bombastic...so what? That was his gimmick but ppl were & still are mean. I like to think that once Queen were established and Freddie did his solo, Mr. Bad Guy, he'd worked with other studio musicians and liked their way of playing. I believe he'd preferred Mike Moran's playing style over his own or simply was tired of playing and paid him to do it all. After all, Freddie NEVER cooked for himself, NEVER drove himself anywhere, NEVER did the shopping himself except when it came to antiques. So I can do see Freddie feeling it was high time to hire an adequate piano player ✌🏾!
Probs cause of the use of the N word. Unfortunately it’s in this amazing song, so this can’t really be used anywhere without this being edited well so there won’t just be a small skip of nothing.

I heve been a Queen fan since 1975 and have just been diagnosed lymphatic cancer, keep up the good work with thei r good old sounds, it gives a good reason to keep going on. thanks.
That's exactly how I feel! Too many people only discover this once they do a deep dive into Queen's catalog - when it should have gained a far greater following due to "Seven Seas of Rhye".
@@woodymeadows9363I am referring to Seven Seas of Rhye on Queen II, the same album as this song. You would think that as a lyric song, people would have found their way to March of the Black Queen in greater numbers.
this song is a member of the queen council including -Killer Queen -White Queen -March of The Black Queen and this song is also the member of the bohemian family including -Millionare Waltz -Prophets Song -Inneundo -March of The Black Queen -Bohemian Rhapsody -My Fairy King
In my opinion I don't know why The Prophets Song is here. The song is talking about a prophet that is talking about what he dreamed (I think) Not something strange...
Pure GOLD!! Bohemian Rhapsody Innuendo The March of the Black Queen The Prophets Song ------------------------------------ These four songs are out of this universe period.
Yeah, Prophet’s Song is good and all but it a little lengthy. I love long songs, but the majority of the song sounds like Freddie was messing around in an audio program.
Mozart composed an opera called "The Magic Flute". Its main villain was *"the Queen of the Night"* One composition in that opera is called *"The March of the Priests"* I think Freddie was a Mozart fan. :-))
The name is inspired by the SNES game Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen... They also have named another song Ogre Battle... An awesome and jeweled RPG saga
1st time watching this - how high was Freddie when he came up with these lyrics 2nd time watching - oh wow I actually really like this song 3rd time watching - *turns up to full volume and bops around the room for the entirety of the song*
I'm a 60 yr old from Chicago who got to see them 3 times. (77-news 80-game 82-hot so) which was their last tour in America. Saw Brian 5 times after that (back to the light tour and by fate another world tour** it was the only US city for that album. Got to meet him at a Guitar World appearance next day.Always down to earth and gracious. DIEHARD FROM THE BEGINNING,so all I have to say is:BEST SONG OFF OF THEIR BEST ALBUM!! Even Brian in various interviews refers to Queen 2 as the album with every element there! 4 different writers then used all the elements for their songs the way they see fit.
I've heard Bohemian Rhapsody to death, almost, but I'll never, ever, tire of this. It's hard to pick a favourite Queen song but this has to be up there for me.
Mike Hill same Bohemian Rhapsody is a great song but its sooooo overrated. Their hits are great but their stuff all the way to The News of The World was GREAT! (Minus their hits)
Mike Hill I'm like the biggest Queen fan but Bohemian Rhapsody got tiring for me pretty quick. However this, The Prophet's Song and My Fairy King never get old.
I learned every lyric, every overdub, and could sing it in its entirety at 13. I used to take turns picking which side of the overdubs I felt like singing, since Freddie would switch sides with every line. Mastery!
The sweetness of Deacon's touch bestows such glory on this song at 4:20. As does the mini-duet with Roger at 4:45. And Brian at 5:50. For Freddie? Words are powerless faced with his creative genius. They're toying with English folk without going all Jethro.

There are, were, and will some people that love this song even more than 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. I am one of these crazy people. 'Queen II' is the best album ever created.
Whilst I still think that this song is criminally underrated, reading most of these comments has restored my faith in people’s abilities to recognise class and that I wasn’t wrong about my judgement!
In listening to this, and reading the comments, many people don’t realize how sophisticated the lyrics are. Not the people in the comments section, but the general population. This is deeper than they are willing to go. You need to listen. It is like a poem you need to think about. It takes your head through some crazy visuals. That’s my perspective.
@@brandonharris9769 - Sorry. I meant the later albums. Once Freddie got into the dance club music, I lost interest. But like many bands, I loved the older stuff. YMMV
@@shawn9773 I kind of agree, but not completely. I actually quite like that they went that direction too, and I think they still had songs that had a rock or more ballad style vibe. But early Queen is definitely my favourite as well. I'm talking like My Fairy King, Killer Queen, Seven Seas of Rhye, etc. But I don't mind later Queen either, there are only two songs I really don't like and will skip if they come on and that's Bicycle Race and Fat Bottomed Girls. But I definitely understand what you're saying.
This is the pure definition of talent. I personally don’t think that the artists today could create something like this... This is truly once in a lifetime band. God what I wouldn’t haven done to be alive during this time ugh!!!!
Mister Bearmore the music today is pure shit, this is pure genius. Today mucisians don't sing they just scream and use some auto-tune to make it sound like they sing. It's aweful. This is real music
I heard it on the radio yesterday, and considering the fact that it's not one of their hits and usually, only the hits are played, it was awesome to hear it!
I was fortunate to own the Very First QUEEN album when it came out and then saw the second Queen concert in America (opened for Mott the Hoople). My brother and I were literally Leaning on the edge of the stage, elbows ON stage. Before they started keeping crowds away from the stage. I looked up at this INCREDIBLY charismatic vocalist, a Phenomenal guitarist with my jaw on the ground. I remember turning to the right to tell my brother, "this band is gonna be HUGE! I only wish I had taken my camera. Wow! I cannot believe we witnessed THAT!
I totally agree. It was the first Queen album I bought and still my favorite, followed by Innuendo. Watch the live version of White Queen at the Odeum. It will blow you away, especially Freddie's piano playing
Miguel Osvaldo Flores Dominguez IMO it’s 1.Queen 2.Queen II 3.News Of The World But A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races are good albums as well!
Teo torriate: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you Twisted Logic: well fu- Poltik: I thought I was his favourite Bohemian rhapsody: it’s not as disrespectful as him not liking me.
I work in a University. Not in musical capacity. A student told me that she was studying music and was studying Queen. I was so excited to hear what she knew and give her my knowledge of Queen as I have loved and know them since the album Queen. She stopped me in my tracks and said she had only just heard Bohemian Rhapsody. Given that I’m sure she will research more x
How can you dislike this song? It's the epitome of what Queen achieved. That their songs are not repetitions. Each song is an education in music as different as each of us, and just as enjoyable IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN. I didn't see the appeal initially but I LISTENED and now I find it wonderfully entertaining. The feeling the music instills into your very soul. LISTEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. It will grow to be a favorite!! It won me over and it's wild, it gives a little love and joy!!
I love singing along with these lyrics, haha... YOU'VENEVERSEENNOTHINGLIKEITNONEVERINYOURLIFE, LIKEGOINGUPTOHEAVENANDTHENCOMINGBACKINLIFE ... or, YOUCANBEMYSUGARBABYYOUCANBEMYHONEYCHILE , YES ! hehehe
+Saga Johansson after a month of this song (or more) I find it quite slow tbh... Awesome, but I can sing quite fast. I think it is because I am able to think much faster than speak... Idek and don't want to seem offensive, sorry.
Queen II is the best Queen album. It's basically fantasy tinged heavy metal. Perfection.
Could be. For me, it's either "II" or "Innuendo" as their best, can't decide which.
70s queen is the best in general. White man is another amazing song, not a fan of the actual message behind the song but it slaps.

In fact in that time all British bands wanted to sound differently, to be original and have something different. Some were better in that then others.

That's exactly how I feel! Too many people only discover this once they do a deep dive into Queen's catalog - when it should have gained a far greater following due to "Seven Seas of Rhye".
@@cassandra8466 There are two examples of that song; on 1 and 2. One is instrumental, the other has lyrics. Which one do you mean?
@@woodymeadows9363I am referring to Seven Seas of Rhye on Queen II, the same album as this song. You would think that as a lyric song, people would have found their way to March of the Black Queen in greater numbers.
Axl Rose once said that "Queen II" is his favourite Queen album
It's not super accessible - it's quite proggy and requires a few lsitens and an open mind to get into it
this song is a member of the queen council including
-Killer Queen
-White Queen
-March of The Black Queen
and this song is also the member of the bohemian family including
-Millionare Waltz
-Prophets Song
-Inneundo
-March of The Black Queen
-Bohemian Rhapsody
-My Fairy King
In my opinion I don't know why The Prophets Song is here. The song is talking about a prophet that is talking about what he dreamed (I think) Not something strange...
The Bohemian Rhapsody family should also consist of Baby shark
@Fernando Ruiz hahahahah
Said everything and a little more
family friendly cross ..... just wanna say hi to your profile pic... ☺️
Pure GOLD!!
Bohemian Rhapsody
Innuendo
The March of the Black Queen
The Prophets Song
------------------------------------
These four songs are out of this universe
period.
Death on two legs is gr8 too...still Queen were MAJESTIC... each and every song of them was...mindlblowing
well it seems that you left out millionaire waltz ?1
I agree but also death on two legs and father to son
Yeah, Prophet’s Song is good and all but it a little lengthy. I love long songs, but the majority of the song sounds like Freddie was messing around in an audio program.
The Prophets Song = the best
My top 3 favorite Queen songs....
1. The one I'm currently listening to
2. The one I just finished listening to
3. The one that plays next
😁😁😁
@@ohtrooper541 for me it's death on two legs lol, I LOVE ALL OF THEM
Yep, that’s me.
My personal favorite is Somebody to Love, but yes!!
@@jana-os4zy Death On Two Legs is a great song, I love it too :P
ok
70s Queen is my favorite. Metal and rock songs with beautiful ballads and some experimental stuff in there too.
Mozart composed an opera called "The Magic Flute". Its main villain was *"the Queen of the Night"*
One composition in that opera is called *"The March of the Priests"*
I think Freddie was a Mozart fan. :-))
He was very inspired by opera in general, we can hear it very well in this song. It's great and so refreshing to mix styles :)
@@wesleybesancon4545 no one's saying that haha. We just said Freddie Mercury was inspired by Mozart when he made songs. He thought Mozart was great.
I remember a recording where he said he liked classical music! I think he was talking with a fan in that one, actually. :)
@@wesleybesancon4545
Nobody said he was, sweetie
Well that would be lit
march of the black queen, killer queen, white queen...
i think queen likes their name a little.
Yeah, ya think? Juuuuuuust a little bit.
And god save the queen
The name is inspired by the SNES game Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen... They also have named another song Ogre Battle... An awesome and jeweled RPG saga
Edward Castillo the snes came the same year freddie died lmao
Edward Castillo I think it's the other way around.
EDIT: also haha oh shit OP is me almost. JoJo's ref name, same Sonic shot. good shit
wow roger's vocal
There are some. But better listen to "I'm in love in my car".
"My life is in your hands I'll fo and I'll fie"
Only this, but amazing.
I think "My life is in your hands I'll fo and I'll fie" "Ill be what you make me Ill do what you like" are the best lines in the song
WHAT A MOMENT INDEED. BEYOND EPIC!
He's amazing!
I don’t care what people say. This is the most underrated queen song.
FRR ITS SO GOOD
Oh yes
Nope. Far From Underrated.
Also "The Prophet's Song" from "A Night at the Opera"?
@@kitmoore9969 facts
1st time watching this - how high was Freddie when he came up with these lyrics
2nd time watching - oh wow I actually really like this song
3rd time watching - *turns up to full volume and bops around the room for the entirety of the song*
Exact same thing happened to me!!!
Literally me
Same
i’m now in fase one, remind me a week later to listen it again
@@maroes1221 hey, just reminding a week later :D
Such a masterpiece. The most underrated song made by queen i think.
One of them. The actual most hated and underrated is Body Language. Even though tbh I am a HUGE fan
Made in heaven is pretty underrated too
Ever heard of Jesus? It's a Queen song...
Oh what about- Nevermore...
There are too many Queen underrated songs...
Or You take my breath away
Faith Harris *BODY LANGUAGE IS SUCH A GREAT SONG!!*
"She boιls and she bakes and she never dots her ι's"
Such an unforgιvable crιme

Sounds like something the Killer Queen would do, right? :-)
Aboslutely LOVE that line.
Oh I see what you did there
I can just use I capItalIsed muhahahahahah
You're the worst!
"A voice from behind me, reminds me, spread out your wings you are an angel." We must all remember this.
"Remember to deliver with the speed of light, a little bit of love and joy" Something else people need to remember.

@@LucyWest370 water babies singing in a lily pool delight
I'm a 60 yr old from Chicago who got to see them 3 times. (77-news 80-game 82-hot so) which was their last tour in America. Saw Brian 5 times after that (back to the light tour and by fate another world tour** it was the only US city for that album. Got to meet him at a Guitar World appearance next day.Always down to earth and gracious. DIEHARD FROM THE BEGINNING,so all I have to say is:BEST SONG OFF OF THEIR BEST ALBUM!! Even Brian in various interviews refers to Queen 2 as the album with every element there! 4 different writers then used all the elements for their songs the way they see fit.
How was the news of the world tour
Hello Robert! Thanks for sharing this amazing experience! Do you have any memorabilia from the queen shows?
5:45 to 6:10 feels like heaven. You close your eyes it feels like your soul is leaving your body. And you get a sense of satisfaction
So basically, an orgasm.
Exactly.I listen these minutes of songs hundred times.
Gives me a classical feel...
Queen in the 70s were just classic... they changed so much in the 80s, but even with change in style and vocals, they were still amazing and classic.
Queen II is one of their top 5 albums.
For me it's their best album, with this being their best song!
This and Sheer Heart Attack
I've heard Bohemian Rhapsody to death, almost, but I'll never, ever, tire of this. It's hard to pick a favourite Queen song but this has to be up there for me.
Crewe Mike Same here. Queen music from 70's when they were at their peak in musicality and creativity is just magic.
Crewe Mike Bohemian rhapsody still isn't dead to me.
Crewe Mike My favourite Queen song as well and I'm a huge Queen fan too....my second favourite must be The Millionaire Waltz
Mike Hill same Bohemian Rhapsody is a great song but its sooooo overrated. Their hits are great but their stuff all the way to The News of The World was GREAT! (Minus their hits)
Mike Hill I'm like the biggest Queen fan but Bohemian Rhapsody got tiring for me pretty quick. However this, The Prophet's Song and My Fairy King never get old.
i *must* learn the lyrics, this song is such an underrated masterpiece
Yes I try it too but it's very hard, because I'm from Germany and this is very fast english
I learned every lyric, every overdub, and could sing it in its entirety at 13. I used to take turns picking which side of the overdubs I felt like singing, since Freddie would switch sides with every line. Mastery!
@@madlin765 I had this down at 13 years old, lol. Try The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke!! 😆
the n-word too lmao
@@christinedanser956 Wow
am i the only one that thinks Roger Taylor has the best backing vocals in music history
No, me too
Fr tho, even tho he sings a little bit it’s simply one of the best parts of the song
He'd have made lead singer for any other band on the planet.
no there are others i red the comments
this is a fact
i love this whole song especially 4:28-4:46
and can i just say Roger’s bit is just 😭😍😍
didi that's the best part
Purabi Devi the whole song is the best part
I feel badass when I hear this part
@@alcantarageraldine4613 sameee lmao
His voice is really awesome
The sweetness of Deacon's touch bestows such glory on this song at 4:20. As does the mini-duet with Roger at 4:45. And Brian at 5:50. For Freddie? Words are powerless faced with his creative genius. They're toying with English folk without going all Jethro.
“She never dots her ı’s”
ı can’t understand why she would ever do somethıng so evıl, serıously!

To be honest, ιts very sιmple, I’m not surprιsed a plebιan lιke you aren’t able to go ιnto settιngs and add the Greek keyboard. And use the ‘ι’ symbol.

@@natashab8110 ask freddie
thanks I hate it
This whole album is like a Hard-Rock Baroque composition, with some Disney Musical vibes, and a Tolkien style lyrics. Can't get better than that!
Queen II is a great album indeed
Can!
My top 5:
5-Bohemian Rhapsody
4-My Fairy King
3-Innuendo
2-The Prophet’s Song
1-The March of The Black Queen
Diego Gómez very nice list i would add death on two legs and father to son, and, and ,hell to many great songs
My favourites are quite similar, except I would replace bohemian rhapsody and the prophets song with it’s a hard life and death on two legs
@@allensaunders449 YEEEEESS. I ADORE Father to son. I don't know why so few people mention it. I could never pick a favourite but Father to son is one of my go-to songs. Big thumbs up!
mine:
5- Lily of the Valley
4- The Millionare Waltz
3- All Dead All Dead
2- My Melancholy Blues
1- Dreamer's Ball
Diego Gómez
5- Ogre battle
4- Nevermore
3- Innuendo
2- It's late
1- Killer Queen
From my opinion the best singers of all time
- Drunk Freddie
- Freddie
- Tired Freddie
- Mr Fahrenheit
- Sick Freddie
Farrokh Bulsara
Who does the vocals for King Crimsons’ stuff? It has some amazing vocals too. Moonchild, and starless are great examples.
@@Aeternus75 Greg Lake sings for King Crimson's first two albums. If you like In the Court, you should listen to ELP, which he sings for. Their best albums are probably Tarkus or Brain Salad Surgery.

My relationship with their music can be summed up by this line alone
My dad once looked me right in the eye and said "You are Queen, it's like... Wow"
And I replied with, Well darling of course
I love the way Freddie says “black Queen”😍😍😍
I love the way Freddie said everything
There are, were, and will some people that love this song even more than 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.
I am one of these crazy people.
'Queen II' is the best album ever created.
Someone agrees with me
Me too. They always make fun of me for this in school. Yes I'm from gen z.
Bohemian isnt even top 10 for me personally
@@Musoko7 same~
i too agree that i like MARCH OF THE BLACK QUEEN better than Bohemian Rhapsody
Love the badge "Big sister of the Rhapsody".
Technically this song is the leader of the pack
And like most big sisters, it beats the shit out of the overrated little snot-nose, lol ( I am a big sis myself, lol)
Whilst I still think that this song is criminally underrated, reading most of these comments has restored my faith in people’s abilities to recognise class and that I wasn’t wrong about my judgement!
This has to be one of Queens most underrated songs
1000000000000000%
Man Freddie, Brian, Roger and John are LEGENDS!!!
is anyone out there who just gets so damn satisfied by Roger's vocals in this song and can die in peace after that masterpiece?
I've honestly had several moments like this since I discovered Queen. I still can't believe my luck really.
In listening to this, and reading the comments, many people don’t realize how sophisticated the lyrics are. Not the people in the comments section, but the general population. This is deeper than they are willing to go. You need to listen. It is like a poem you need to think about. It takes your head through some crazy visuals. That’s my perspective.
Love Queen's first albums, they had an undeniable Shakespearean countenance!!!
I loved all the early Queen - first 5 albums. Once they went disco, I lost interest.
Early queen has a magic to it, ive only seen in few other bands (malice mizer)
@@shawn9773 you saying queen went disco on news of the world? 😂
@@brandonharris9769 - Sorry. I meant the later albums. Once Freddie got into the dance club music, I lost interest. But like many bands, I loved the older stuff. YMMV
@@shawn9773 I kind of agree, but not completely.
I actually quite like that they went that direction too, and I think they still had songs that had a rock or more ballad style vibe.
But early Queen is definitely my favourite as well. I'm talking like My Fairy King, Killer Queen, Seven Seas of Rhye, etc.
But I don't mind later Queen either, there are only two songs I really don't like and will skip if they come on and that's Bicycle Race and Fat Bottomed Girls.
But I definitely understand what you're saying.
Such a ridiculously great song.
Bohemian Rhapsody is seen as epic but this is another level.
Bo Rhap is almost like this song toned down to be more accessible.
@@MADMACHlNEcorrect, borap was inspired from this song, march of the black queen is the experimental prototype while borap is the final product
This is the pure definition of talent. I personally don’t think that the artists today could create something like this... This is truly once in a lifetime band. God what I wouldn’t haven done to be alive during this time ugh!!!!
This kind of music beats today's music by a mile! Anyone agree?
Beck Rockriver true, but you must admit... the older music outweighs the new
Some songs are decent, but A LOT suck
modern music is awful Freddie will be best singer songerwriter ever
Mister Bearmore the music today is pure shit, this is pure genius. Today mucisians don't sing they just scream and use some auto-tune to make it sound like they sing. It's aweful. This is real music
of course, but that's not really difficult.
AAAAA....

Hal Jordan my favorite part of the song
My life is in your hands i fo and i fie... The bestest best 3 seconds
That's the part that gets me stoked
I heard it on the radio yesterday, and considering the fact that it's not one of their hits and usually, only the hits are played, it was awesome to hear it!
I would freak out if that happend! (But I don't think it ever will here in Germany.) Where do you live?
One of the best song ever. Masterpiece ...
My love, my favorite :-))!

Rogers's screams are the best
I was fortunate to own the Very First QUEEN album when it came out and then saw the second Queen concert in America (opened for Mott the Hoople). My brother and I were literally Leaning on the edge of the stage, elbows ON stage. Before they started keeping crowds away from the stage. I looked up at this INCREDIBLY charismatic vocalist, a Phenomenal guitarist with my jaw on the ground. I remember turning to the right to tell my brother, "this band is gonna be HUGE! I only wish I had taken my camera. Wow! I cannot believe we witnessed THAT!
down in the city with hoople and me!....great memories
Queen will always be in a class by Themselves like The Beatles.
I’m just gonna go ahead and say it... QUEEN IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE BEATLES
@@gamerg1rl761REAL, but Beatles are so good too
I'm serious, Queen 2 is the best album to ever be made
Is true.....
I don't like a night at their opera which is considered their best.
for me its a day at the races..
I totally agree. It was the first Queen album I bought and still my favorite, followed by Innuendo. Watch the live version of White Queen at the Odeum. It will blow you away, especially Freddie's piano playing
@@mrbill1390 thats my favourite version of it. Hammersmith one i think. The improv was dope.
Queen II is the greatest album that they ever made and it's what made "Bohemian Rhapsody" possible
Queen ll is the best but also heavily underrated

2. Queen II
3. A Night At The Opera

I work in a University. Not in musical capacity. A student told me that she was studying music and was studying Queen. I was so excited to hear what she knew and give her my knowledge of Queen as I have loved and know them since the album Queen. She stopped me in my tracks and said she had only just heard Bohemian Rhapsody. Given that I’m sure she will research more x
Absolutely love the outro, like putting icing in the cake.
amber In the cake
How can you dislike this song? It's the epitome of what Queen achieved. That their songs are not repetitions. Each song is an education in music as different as each of us, and just as enjoyable IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN.
I didn't see the appeal initially but I LISTENED and now I find it wonderfully entertaining. The feeling the music instills into your very soul. LISTEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. It will grow to be a favorite!! It won me over and it's wild, it gives a little love and joy!!
Someone: what’s your favorite Queen song?
Me: 1:18
