Queen Talks

"I suppose it could be progressed that way. I was beginning to learn a lot on Sheer Heart Attack, we were doing a lot of things which was to come on future albums, was to be used on future albums. Songs like 'In The Lap Of The Gods', yes, I suppose. Working out the harmonies and song structure did help on say something like Bo Rhap. Somebody said this sounds like Cecil B. De Mille meets Walt Disney or something. More to the point than The Beach Boys!"

Freddie Mercury - 24/12/1977, BBC Radio One
