Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture dakota Wanna Be	#1 by dakota at Mar 12, 2006 at 10:08 PM EST
	It's just about the tour de france and how Freddy loves riding his bike. You guys are obsessed with finding gay connection in every queen song its insane. I mean, there was even a post in We Will Rock You saying it was a gay pride anthem. It wasn't even written by Freddy for god's sake, it was Brain May's song. Just because he was gay doesn't mean every song is about that.

No Picture a-MUSE-ing Rhythm Player	#2 by a-MUSE-ing at Mar 20, 2006 at 9:35 PM EST
	i totally agree with gimpyx2k,just because freddie was gay or bi or whatever it was, not every queen song has something in it about that!!!!

No Picture Black Saints Average	#3 by Black Saints at Apr 20, 2006 at 1:02 PM EST
	I know it certainly makes me want to ride my bicycle.

No Picture Chad Wanna Be	#4 by Chad Husky at Sep 22, 2006 at 12:20 AM EST
	I agree with number6. My mom just got the CD with this song on it and she was playing it, and now I've got it stuck in my head. But I love it when he sings, "I want to ride my bicycle!"

No Picture Jake Average	#5 by Jake Tone at Sep 25, 2006 at 4:24 AM EST
	This song is great. I heard it on AFI and immediately went to download it.

No Picture Sarah Wanna Be	#6 by Sarah Reiske at Oct 7, 2006 at 1:55 AM EST
	gimpy, I believe they meant We Are The Champions. But either way, neither of them are gay pride anthems, though We Are The Champions was used in a Viagra commercial once.

No Picture THE RONANATOR ( Average	#7 by THE RONANATOR (aka.Ronan) downer at Oct 16, 2006 at 4:52 AM EST
	lol when Queen returned the bikes and told the store what they were used for the bike store refused to take em back heh heh. to be honest i woulda taken those bikes but yea hygene

No Picture Nathan Wanna Be	#8 by Nathan Chinchilla at Dec 29, 2006 at 8:39 AM EST
	thia song was actually written about bisexuals not bicycles but it had to be changed for marketing purposes.

No Picture Craigy Average	#9 by Craigy t at Jan 10, 2007 at 10:12 PM EST
	I think this song is about how Friedie's struggle. how it says "put a gun against his head, pulled the trigger now he's dead" is like how he told his dad that he had aids and how it "killed" his dad inside. also like in the beginning how it says "is this real life or is this just fantasy" is like him not in denial and feeling sorry"about himself. then as the song goes on he gets over it and tells everyone off who thinks of him as an outkast for. how he just wantsto live his life normally. that's what i think.

No Picture Aaron Wanna Be	#10 by Aaron schmidt at Feb 7, 2007 at 11:20 PM EST
	Freddie Mercury wrote it when he was watching tour de France, but I think its about bisexuals. I'm not sure if he was gay or bi in the end, but I know he was a bisexual for a while. People were probably opposed to that, "I want to ride it where I like" might be in reference to being open about his sexuality. As for peter pan, frankenstein, and super man, I have NO CLUE!!!

No Picture Jazzy Average	#11 by Jazzy at Feb 18, 2007 at 2:31 AM EST
	The song is possibly satirical, given the mentions of Watergate, Vietnam, etc. Also they say BI alot. :P

No Picture Tommy The Cat Lead Player	#12 by Tommy The Cat at Feb 20, 2007 at 10:27 PM EST
	Paulotheman and Gummitch, are correct. Its not about Freddie's struggle with AIDS, it acutally about nothing. When asked in an interview, Freddie said "People still ask me today what Bohemian Rhapsody is about and I tell them, I don't know"

No Picture Jasper Average	#13 by Jasper van Oorschot at Feb 28, 2007 at 8:46 PM EST
	i luv this song, its so awesome!

No Picture Pat Lead Player	#14 by Pat O'Shea at Apr 28, 2007 at 8:05 AM EST
	So he didn't like Star Wars, huh? and what about Jaws? Well...this is a good song.

No Picture The Angel of De Lead Player	#15 by The Angel of Death at May 11, 2007 at 1:38 PM EST
	this song is about being an individual, not worrying about whats on the news or whats the fads, you dress in your own style, do your own thingy and follow no one.

No Picture Omar Average	#16 by Omar Rodriguez at Jun 2, 2007 at 9:54 AM EST
	I hate this song hate it hate it hate it its so annoying and catchy and dont get me started with the bike bells.

No Picture Brian Lead Player	#17 by Brian Priddis at Jul 15, 2007 at 10:18 AM EST
	i think the songs about when freddie mercury won a bicycle race when he was a kid

No Picture Jimmy Rhythm Player	#18 by Jimmy at Aug 9, 2007 at 12:07 PM EST
	I always thought it was about Drugs don't knwo why i think it was cause i got high for the 3 time and this was the song that came ona nd it triped me the fuck out specially the bells fuckin hell

No Picture Jon Average	#19 by Jon Turner at Oct 11, 2007 at 12:44 PM EST
