      Brian May in a recent interview stated people keep talking about what a great phenomenal frontman Freddie was but May kept talking about what a great vocalist Freddie was which is sometimes overshadowed by on stage theatrics. Queen was one of those rare bands that you could not categorise. They came out with pop classics and great rock tracks and also haunting poignant songs such as "These Are The Day's of Our Lives". All 4 members were great song writers too. One of the most original and unique bands in music history.

    A collaboration with David Bowie, this is credited to "Queen with David Bowie" because the B-side of the single is Queen's "Soul Brother." It was recorded at an impromptu session in Montreaux, Switzerland in the summer of 1981.
    According to Queen bass player John Deacon, Freddie Mercury did most of the songwriting on this, although everyone contributed. The lyrics deal with how pressure can destroy lives, but love can be the answer. The lyrics are characteristic of Mercury's songwriting.
    Deacon however did come up with the iconic two-note bass riff, although it came very close to vanishing: according to Roger Taylor in the Days of our Lives documentary, Deacon came up with the riff, then the band went for pizza before coming back to continue rehearsals. Upon returning, Deacon had completely forgotten his idea! Luckily, Taylor eventually remembered how the bassline went.
    Brian May recalled to Mojo magazine October 2008. "It was hard, because you had four very precocious boys and David, who was precocious enough for all of us. David took over the song lyrically. Looking back, it's a great song but it should have been mixed differently. Freddie and David had a fierce battle over that."
    May adds to this feeling of the sessions being fairly strained in a further interview for the Days of our Lives documentary, where he notes that "suddenly you've got this other person inputting, inputting, inputting... he (David) had a vision in his head, and it's quite a difficult process and someone has to back off... and eventually I did back off, which is unusual for me."

      Talent is present in all forms of music. Todays music is way different from Queens music then but remember this. When Queen created Bohemian Rhapsody, they were breaking barriers. Morphing Classic Rock with Opera. An unlikely marriage of two much different genres. And it worked so well and was performed so well it became one of the worlds most famous and recognizable songs of all time. Music is in a constant state of evolution. Todays sound is different from yesterdays and is different from tomorrows as well. There is brilliance in some of the rap songs I’m hearing. It’s not what I grew up with but in my mind all music is derivative. We all steal a little bit either consciously or subliminally. You are right that musicianship has taken a back seat to electronic drum kits, pretaped riffs, etc. but talent exists in all forms of music. Don’t get to comfortable with music the way it is because I guarantee you it will not last. It’s evolving even as we speak. Personally I love that. What lies around the corner ? I’m excited to find out

      But it was really close. David Bowie was the act that followed Queen at the Wembley live aid, and they had planned to perform the song together if David could make it from the airport in time. Sadly, David got stuck in traffic literally a few miles from Wembley so Roger Taylor (the drummer) performed Freddies part (and Freddie performed Bowie part) instead.

      The wierdest thing is that the only reason David Bowie did not perform with Queen for this song at Live Aid was that David Bowie was stuck in traffic so he was late. David Bowie played right after Queen at Live Aid. Seriously, David Bowie was the act that followed Queen at that very concert.

      In this particular case, Freddie was also stalling for time because he needed to know if David Bowie had arrived backstage or not. David Bowie was the act that followed Queen at Live Aid, and they had planned to perform the song together if David could make it from the airport. Sadly, David Bowie got stuck in traffic a few miles from Wembley, and couldn't make it for the duet. That's why it's Roger Taylor (the drummer) that sings Freddies part, and Freddie that sings Bowies part of the song.
