Not sure hate is the right way to describe it, but yes I believe he is not that keen, I think it stems from the fact he wanted to do something else with it and as we all know it ended up being more piano focused.

I might be wrong about this but fairly sure that's what I read once in an interview, I still would say hate is the wrong way to put it, probably he feels it could have been better in some way.

Personnaly I think it's a great little pop song, light and funny, also I love the fact it's more piano focused, it fits well with the Jazz album feel.

Brian has never hid the fact that hes not biggest fan of 'Stop Me Now' as referred to on Top Gear!

Precisely BECAUSE he heard that you liked it.
I had heard that he doesn't like hamburgers, either.

I say let's go get this guy and shake him violently 5 or 6 times.
Someone in here,i dont know who,said that he hated Bohemian Rhapsody on account of that was Freddie stealing his thunder.

That cant be true either!! Can it?
I never forget a face, but in your case i'll be glad to make an exception-Groucho Marx
This is all wrong, everybody knows that Brian is a modest guy, at least was some 20 years ago and used to hide behind his guitar when playing on stage. He was also shy of being photographed unlike Freddie and Roger, and it was Roger who loved it most of them all.

I doubt it could be true... The whole band was rather proud of it, they had serious arguments with EMI when they wanted to release it as a single and EMI wanted to edit it.

If you see recent interviews (for example, the ones from The Making Of A Night At The Opera), you'll see he's still amazed by Freddie's creativity, and also quite proud of having composed the solo from that song.

And that has what to do with him disliking Don't Stop Me Now?
Queen is the greatest ever. Period! But I don't like every song, I'm sure each member of Queen hates at least one of their own songs. To me, Delilah is an embrassment. I know they were humouring an ill Freddie but someone should have stopped that one. lol
Interesting that he does not like the song, he played one of his best guitar licks in it.
I think it'd been established that Dr May hated the video, but not necessarily the song. Maybe it's a similar case with IAHL.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
Pretty sure he wanted something else released as the 2nd single off the "Jazz" album. Not sure which song he was keen on, although "Mustapha" should have been released as well, imo.
Brian Hates everything, in case you didn't get the memo.
