| i'm simply amazed that it's freddie and john who wrote this song together.. of all the Queens, they have the most dissimilar characters, the most unlikely Queen members to be friends... freddie's the oldest, john's the youngest. freddie's loud, john's quiet, freddie's openly bi, john's a family man... and many many more. and yet if the articles that i've read were true, i think they are also very close. i read somewhere that it was freddie who fought for another one bites the dust when brian and roger did not like it... there's also an interview of john where he defends freddie when reporters claim freddie has aids. and when one of freddie's old lover sold their story to the press, he knew freddie's not hurt for himself but for his family and friends who read it. it also looks to me that john's the one most affected by the death of freddie... why didn't he join brian and roger on tour afterwards? .. or maybe it's just my imagination, or i just think too much .. but i think only those persons who knew about true friendship can write this song. anyway, God bless freddie and john, my 2 most beloved Queen.. | |

| Although having been a huge Queen fan for about than 15 years now, I never really liked the song, especially the sound of the guitar melody and the too obviously catchy chorus. However I recently rediscovered it and noticed I had never payed attention on how breathtakingly Mr Mercury performs on this track. It's stupendous, and somehow makes up for the flaws I mentioned above. Grand Freddie!!! Matthias | |

| This is one of the best songs Queen ever did, musically it is amazing. I can't relate to the lyrics because my friends turned out to be back-stabbing bastards but, wow, what a melody and the way Freddie sings this, awesome songs...kinda underrated maybe? | |
