Queen Talks

"That was originally something Freddie was going to do on a solo album (Barcelona), and gradually we all played on it. I went in and played guitar and it seemed to work very well. John went in and played bass, Roger put the drums in, so it became a Queen track. I love it. Not many people have spoken to me about it, but I think it's great. It's got a lot of depth to it."

Brian May - August 1991, Guitar World
