Freddie said it: "I was changing lyrics every day, trying to get it as vicious as possible. I was a demon for a few days." And the hate letter was born. 🤣
I love it, Freddie was vicious. Freddie in concerts continued through his career he bent over and did a butt salute signaling kiss my a$$ to the former manager and press. Can't blame him, the manager and press really did Queen wrong, we Queen fans knew what it meant, and just made us giggle because Queen became successful despite them. I think it's really pathetic Queen never won a Grammy. Great reaction.
Thanks for reading all the background info. It's a great reminder to remember what went into this album, and also what this song cost the band. A brave declaration to be followed by an amazing exhibition of musical talent.🎹🎼🎸🎺🥁🎤
To me, one of the best, if not the best solo from Brian.
I believe A Night At The Opera and A Day At The Races are pure genius. Both albums are filled with delightful tunes, creative ideas, sounds and presentations which will go from soothing the mind to attacking the senses. You are in for a fun ride! And you won't have to worry about being unnecessary harsh! 😉
I'd even rate DATR and SHA higher than NATO.. but they're all fantastic!
@@neilloughran4437Agree. SHA is underappreciated. Ragtime and heavy metal. Top that anyone.
The ultimate $@#% off song. Brian's sound is so clear and bendy at the same time. ❤
Every member of the band is a VERY talented musician. Great album!
My favorite Queen album and that song is my favorite.
Death On Two Legs (Dedicated To...) - written by Freddie Mercury
John Deacon: Double bass and bass
Brian May: Backing vocals and electric guitar
Freddie Mercury: Piano, lead and backing vocals
Roger Taylor: Backing vocals and drums
they’re best album hands down
Also You can check out documentary The Making Of A Night At The Opera, where mostly Brian May talking and showing some studio tricks
My aunt in America would always bring home (Ireland) the top hit albums of the US as she didn't know our tastes in music, in 76 she brought home this album to me, a 12 year old. What an opener! I was hooked!
When ever I got 'pocket money' I would save it for the previous album, and worked backwards to the first album. Got to see them live in Dublin 84', unreal!.
Thank you Aunt Noellen RIP.
One of their best in my opinion. Love this album.
One of my favorite Queen songs. A great album opener and a great album.
THAT. That is my fav all time Queen song. I only wish it was twice as long.
I love the piano intro... it has been with me since I was 7 and I'll be 55 next week...
Yep. A great one. This album is awesome. So much variety coming...
I was hoping that you would get to this album to get to this song, it is one of my favorites. Such an awesome album. Thanks for all the reaactions.
I love the "I feel good" at the very end harmonies in the major chord, as in to say we got the better of you
Definitely my favorite on the album. I even enjoy it more than Bohemian Rhapsody
A Night at the Opera!!! Thank you!!!
Now the greatness really begins
Don’t piss Freddie off ✌🏼I love this song and find it funny that the perp sued Queen proving to the world that he was the creep! When Freddie bends over at the end of certain songs the actual meaning was Kiss My Ass I think Queen won in the end 😂😂😂
The ultimate diss track
Queen at their dirtiest! If you listen closely at the start, you can hear John torturing a Double Bass.😂
Brian May's guitar on this is almost as savage and searing as Mercury's lyrics. Magnificently vicious!
Thanks, Justin.. I think the theme of this song is "Don't Piss off Freddie"".. (also done with prior album... "Flick of the Wrist"...).. Queen were amazing... appreciate your background research and especially your listen/reactions.. thank you! (p.s. straight into "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon".. Queen's early albums had no space between songs.. which was awesome)
After seeing/hearing Bohemian Rhapsody on the Midnight Special (which was broadcast at 1am) I bought this - my first Queen album. I eventually moved up to the 5.1 version. There's sound coming at you from all directions - very dynamic. They use a combination of promo videos, assembled live clips, old-timey film and a new recording of Brian performing '39.
Freddie’s home having “rising damp” - Rising damp is when groundwater is wicked up through the walls via porous brickwork or other building materials, causing water damage to interior wall’s plaster or drywall , peeling paint, and pervasive mold/mildew issues. Untreated, it can cause major structural damage to the building.
yeah... thats disgusting. lol
Just hit me, I saw them do this live at Madison Square Garden in September 1980 during "The Game" tour.
Definitely the ultimate diss track.
Another Gem of an album......Justin......your in for a treat listening to this.
Really a great song !!!
Excellent start, can't wait to hear all the rest. Always have loved this song, just something about its aggressive style and the guitar sounds.
Nice start!!!
Freddie was pissed. Great song.
Used to have this on vinyl and 8-track tape
It wasn't wise to p*** Freddie off! Great record..... Thanks for the in depth analysis
I remember buying this record when it was new. I was 12 year old preteen little boy and I thought that this was the greatest song I ever had heard and the whole album was so good music too. We were pampered back those days with such cool pop music, sure😂
as for medleys: listen to Prophet song and love of my life in one go. you get the transition between the songs.
Very cool. There's so much musical theater in this song. And those lyrics. 🤣 But it's pretty ahead of its time both in terms of recording quality and the maturity of the composition. Oh, and the song that beat "Bohemian Rhapsody" for Best Vocal Arrangement in 1976? "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band. Yeah. 🤔
i go into who they lost the two grammy nods to in one of the videos, maybe the last one I think.
I believe the only actual "segue" on the album (where one track continues directly into the next) is between "The Prophet Song" and "Love of My Life".
Norman Sheffield counter with, " everyone started treating Freddie as though he was god and he began to behave like one."
As ever, taking the time to listen to what’s going on before judging, no more can we ask. In short, nice job.
The moral of the song is Never piss Freddie off. I don't think there any medleys on this album.
Give him a grand piano. An upright is a slap with the back of the hand.
Sheffield realized he could have had more of a heart but he did expose them to the public and spent all that money on them but he knew they were going to be big and could have opened up his wallet more. Eventually John bought the moderate house he still lives in to this day.
The second and third songs should be played together as the impact of one leading into the other is impressive.
I did like what you're reading from. "The album incorporated a wide range of styles" . Always! Hey, Queen actually met and had photos taken with Groucho Marx of the Marx Brothers fame at his request at his house. Groucho played them a song on his piano, and asked them to perform on spur of the moment. The lads panicked a bit and said "we don't have a guitar', to which Groucho responded "I have a guitar"! And off they went, Brian playing "39" (I assume singing lead), Freddie & Roger singing all harmonies to the famous comedian!
Makes me appreciate Grouch Marx because his embrace of youthful admiration. Janis Joplin said can't hate anyone who admires you.
Great track and reaction 😊❤YNWA
First of all…thank you! I’ve been enjoying your reactions and insightful comments that have me rethinking the music I’ve listened to since 1974!
Regarding the segue thing; when I began listening to Queen records as a young teenager in the 70’s I was taken aback by the occasional melding of songs which seemed to reinforce the sharp juxtapositions of the non-segued sequence of songs. I didn’t hear this much on albums by other bands, so these early Queen efforts stood out as being meticulously crafted sequences of songs. For me, the experience of unbroken album listening was reinforced, and was more unusual in that regard, than with other albums I listened to. Therefore, each of the first five albums read, to me, as suites of single works of art rather than a collection of separate songs. They felt like scenes in a movie, not separate entities. After ‘A Day at the Races’, this quality disappeared.
The phenomenon of unbroken album listening, and Queen’s apparently unique approach and consciousness of this, are cemented in the mind’s and hearts of us “first listeners”. What you’re hearing in the comments is a desire for you to experience them as we did because, it was a very strange and exciting adventure. Today’s ethic of separating everything out just because ‘that’s the way it’s formatted now” feels like a compromise. What reactors who don’t listen all the way through album sides are missing are the very cool and surprising contrasts that, we believe, Queen and the production folks of the time had intended.
The harshness of ‘Death on Two Legs’ and ‘I’m in Love with My Car’ bookend the light, silly ‘Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon’. But it’s not just the different character of the songs that’s interesting, it’s the immediate juxtaposition of sound from high-voiced-choir to tinkle to guitar-choir sweep to roar, etc. It’s like hearing a sentence being spoken and focusing on the musicality of the voice.
That said, I understand the practicality of hearing each song individually for purposes of discussion, I just thought you might want to hear my insight as to the value I got out of an unbroken listen. It has more value than casual listeners (I’m not including you in saying that!) ascribe to the work. A better example might be watching people listen to ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ for the very first time in pieces; a truly visceral, cringe-worthy experience. They are, absolutely, missing out on something significant. That all said…I’m an artist who got into audio production just because of listening to Queen records when I was young, so…please take what I say with a grain of salt.
If I`m not mistaking, this song is about their manager at that time.
Yep..Norman and Barry Sheffield.
Boy they F'ed that up lol.
I missed you buddy, you continue again!
Yes, great start of an album. Rock fun. Definitely not one of today's PC songs.
This was the song that cemented Queen for me. I was 11. Killer Queen the year before piqued my interest. Bohemian Rhapsody made it impossible to look away. I was 11. My 16 year old auntie had this record and I gleefully read the lyrics. I was in. That was 50 years ago and Queen still rules. I mean, how cool is it that Freddie can say "Yeah, I think you should kill yourself" and nobody gives him any sh*t for it. Long Live Freddie.
The Prophet's Song segues into Love Of My Life. The only case in this album.
That's not a bowed upright bass during the intro - it's May's guitar.
If you want another Queen hate song, react to "flick of the wrist" that was before in the album "Sheer Heart Attack".
Greatest diss song ever written.
Drake who?
Hey Justin - I'm *shocked* (Casablanca) *shocked* that you don't remember I was the requestor of the Prophet's Song 😑
I do remember actually
just don't piss off Freddie, lol
Queen never won a competitive Grammy (which is why I don't think the Grammys are relevant)!
Freddie Mercury, not very subtle.
Good for him ✌🏼
An Even better example of them dragging Trident is “Flick of The Wrist”
Roger Daltrey wrote about his school teacher disrespecting him but it was a blessing in disguise because he used it as motivation.
