++++++++++++++++++++++++

I've never heard then change there story on either song. Like I said, Freddie's statement is quite specific about the period he wrote it. The song Sheer Heart Attack was supposedly started for that album, but wasn't finished or wasn't very good at that stage. But the band liked the title and used it for the album.

Personally, I'm fascinated by how songs get started during one period and end up being used later. "Tie Your Mother Down" was started in 1971, between September & October, on the side of Mount Tiede, Tenerife in the Canary Island. He didn't finish it until before the Races sessions. If things had gone differently, it could have been the lead track on Queen rather than KYA.

Just looked at the anti-queen website and all that shows is that some people have way too much time on their hands!
I've got nothing against christianity, but that's just pathetic-do you thing the guy who wrote it knows how funny it is?!

Oh my ... What is this?? Haunted man... ;)

Are you sure it wasn't inspired by the time Brentford came back from 2-0 down to draw 2 all with Port Vale thanks to a last-minute equaliser?

i read somewere football enspired freddie to write we are the champions. idk cus im not realy much of a football fan. sorry XD

Lotta people claim  it's a gay anthem, well  it's maybe true, no disrespect, i'm a big fan but if you take a look at the lyrics, who is freddie talking to? just  ask yourself this question, probably a gay anthem  or maybe about the band champions of rock

You can practically see the author foaming at the mouth as he condemns Freddie and Queen.
Holy fuck!! hahaha....it's scarey to think there are people like that in this world. Foaming at the mouth indeed!

What is so perverse about so-called Born Again Christian's (and many other "Christian" denominations') position on homosexuality is that despite what they say, it is not condemned by Christianity in the Bible.

The quote they often cite from the Bible is:

Lev 20:13 If a man also lies with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be on them.

This is from the Book of Leviticus, in the OLD Testament. That's key in a way homophobic Christians would rather you ignore. Allow me to explain, for those of you not up on your Christian dogma.

The Bible is divided into two sections, the Old Testament and the New Testament, each containing several Books (Genesis, Exodus, Revelations, etc). The Old Testament by itself is, for those of the Jewish faith, simply the Jewish Bible. It contains the Laws, Rules, advice and rather importantly the Ten Commandments, which the Jews are expected to study and follow. The Book Of Leviticus is contained here. 

It all seems straightforward, but then came Jesus (we're now in the New Testament) and his single act of Crucifixion, dying for our sins, meant that his followers were no longer bound by the Laws and Rules laid out in the Old Testament/Jewish Bible. His was the ultimate sacrifice, so we needed no longer sacrifice animals or do the many things the Old Testament required (not wear cotton and wool together, for example).

Bottomline: Jesus' sacrifice negated the Old Covenant (the Jewish Laws) for the New Covenant (Christ's Laws) for his followers. The Leviticus rule quoted above was one such thing no longer binding them.

Bigots simply continue to follow it because it serves as an excuse to be homophobic.

I'm sure Jesus would be proud.

And before you ask, I was raised Catholic. It comes in handy when dealing with people such as the guy whose website that is.
