  • Nick from Utica, NyPossibly my favorite Queen song. Yes, there are many "big" Queen songs, but this is some of the harder rock that they did from time to time. Like Stone Cold Crazy, and Ogre Battle, No More of That Jazz, I'm In Love With My Car, Sheer Heart Attack, Great King Rat, Tie Your Mother Down, Dead on Time, Princes of the Universe, I Want It All.
  • Mike from UkReportedly this was John Deacon’s favourite Queen song. The live version included on ‘Queen At The Bowl’ saw Brian May snap a string on his guitar leaving John to fill in with a bass solo. Excellent track a real crowd hit!
  • Bri from EarthInspired by their time in Munich. That’s why “Mack”, producer at Musicland Studios, is mentioned and “the room where the beats all round” along with the line “take me back to The Shack” is referencing a cool club all members and crew frequented in Munich called the Sugar Shack. Ratty (Peter Hince), head of crew, writes about it in his book and notes that they liked the club because it had a very “up” atmosphere and they weren’t hounded/pointed at like a novelty.
  • Don from Sevierville, TnI think the part where Mercury sings "She don't take no prisoners" resembles the Billy Squier song "The Stroke", where Squier sings "Don't you take no chances."
  • Matt from Victori, TxThe drum solo rocks, then the bass solo rocks, then the guitar solo ROCKS! I love when he scratches with his pick right after the first bend.
  • John from Cincinnati, OhI agree with you Amy of Dallas. This album came out towards the end of the "disco" era and it just rocked. I am so glad Queen stuck to their roots during that dreadful time!
  • Jfv from Philadelphia, PaThe line "gonna use my stack, it's gotta be Mack" is a reference to the album's producer, Reinhold Mack. The song features multiple solos featuring John Deacon (bass), Roger Taylor (drums)and Brian May(guitar). (4/21/08)
  • B-man from Detroit, MiAnother great song that doesn't get enough air play. This was Queen at their rawest and best.
  • Joe from , MoI was so surprised when they played this live in Chicago at the 2006 concert. It was amazing to hear the guitar solo and the drum beat live. Danny did a good job on bass too! It was the highlight for me!
  • Jonathon from Clermont, FlIt's a very groovy piece, definitely. Yeah...
  • Rosa from Reading, Englandi love the drum solo in this its superb. one of my favourites.
  • Bryan from Melbourne, Fl*Hums bass riff*
  • Amy from Dallas, TxI love the beat to this song, also the album is good too. (even though most people dont agree with me, just my opinion)
