Queen TalksJohn Deacon - 1985 (seen in Greatest Video Hits 2 DVD) "Freddie was on the phone and he wanted to go back into the studio and do some more recording. So in the end we went back into the studio and we actually recorded another single. It was his idea, really, that we could go in and actually write a song together. In fact, I was late getting to the recording sessions because I was on holiday at the time, but it's credited as a Queen composition, but to be honest, I would say it was mainly Roger, Brian, and Freddie that did most of the writing for it." Roger Taylor - 1986 "The original words were actually about Martin Luther King, Jr., and now I haven't got a clue what it's about! Somebody said it was about Bob Geldof, but I don't think it is." Do you know the meaning of the original set of lyrics? "No, not anymore! Well, they changed my words!" Who did? "That rotter Freddie!" Brian May - 2003, Greatest Video Hits 2 DVD commentary "There's a lot of influences on here: the drum solo on here is just an opportunity to do strange, psychedelic things." Roger Taylor - 2003, Greatest Video Hits 2 DVD commentary "It was basically my lyric with the others putting in the odd line. It was a good collaboration of that song." Brian May - 2003, Greatest Video Hits 2 DVD commentary "We made a very rare decision to have documentary cameras in there while we were recording, but the documentary cameras actually ruined the whole thing, because I think everyone was so conscious of them being there – everyone sort of played to the cameras. And when I watch any pieces of that now, I think it's totally false." Roger Taylor - 1986 when answering accusations that the single was a cash-in on Live Aid "I was absolutely devastated when I saw that in the press. It was a terrible mistake and I was really annoyed about it. Some public relations person got hold of the wrong end of the stick. I went absolutely bananas when I saw that." Brian May - 1986 when answering accusations that the single was a cash-in on Live Aid "We do a lot of stuff for charities, but 'One Vision' was a way of getting back to what we're doing. And if we didn't run ourselves as a business we wouldn't be around for the next Live Aid. We're not in the full-time business of charity at all. We're in the business of making music, which is a good enough end in itself." Additional Information
