Thank you very much for sharing this video! I can still remember when this song came out like it was yesterday & have loved it ever since. 8th grade class trip with radio blaring and everyone singing at the top of their lungs :laugh: I bet that bus driver hated us that day.

What a pleasure to some of the behind the scenes activity it took to bring it all together....

Thanks again.

This is probably the very best "how we did it" video I've ever seen. Brian May is a fabulously inventive guitarist and created the perfect sounds for Queen. Thanks so much for posting this.

I would have never known that much went into that song. Amazing.

Thanks for sharing that.

Fascinating. Thanks. It would be great to separately hear the individual tracks in their entirety (for example, what is the bass playing through all this?).

Here's one track.....


And hopefully you'll see a 15 video playlist of the various tracks here.....

That was just great! That's a how to - multi-track lesson for anyone who has aspirations to record and mix their own music I really enjoyed that, thanks for sharing. The big advantage to recording everything on seperate mics and overdubs, is the versatility you have in producing the final mix sound of course. B)

Wow. Funny you should say that, because to this day, whenever I hear this song, I'm immediately transported to the bus on the way to Springfield, Ill., for our 8th grade class trip. I don't think we sang along, though.

What a great video
That was interesting.
Thanks.

Thanks that was very interesting and enjoyable. Liked the fact Brian talked about the Beatles and that Queen copied ideas and built on them.
