Just listened to it again. I must admit the style of song puts me off, but Brian's solo in it is extremely good. It IS original, but I agree with Waunakanor that one in The Invisible Man probably is a lot more original. That's not my favourite Queen song either, but we really have been spoilt for choice when it comes to Brian's solos.

I do believe it's one of his finest solos, and obviously it's one of my favourites. It's full of emotion and virtuosity!!!

Impresionante. Uno de los mejores solos de su carrera.

I take back the solo being the only thing I like about it, I enjoy the song in general. It did bother me a bit that they used a duplicate of Freddie's voice with a 'chipmunk' effect on it for a backing vocal, when they could've just got Roger to sing that part.

Wait, are you talking about the part starting at about 3:52? Are you sure that's not Roger?

My fav solo from Brian for me!

The solo is brilliant. It´s so perfectly constructed and played that it amazes me everytime i hear it. Every note is in the right place.

No, the first instance is in the 'You don't fool me' at about 0:43, and it can be heard on the same lines later in the song. I agree that the part at 3:52 is Roger. Oddly, the 'ba ba ba ba' section sounds good in terms of vocal harmony, which also appears to be two Freddie voices. It's just that line in particular which bothers me.

Oh, I think I get what you're saying.
It's really subtle, though. It hardly makes a difference for me, anyway.

So well put.
It just amazes me, the precision and perfection of much of this record, knowing they created it with the knowledge that it would be the last time they'd be making a Queen album.

A good word for Brian is 'meticulous'. Even his lesser solos are thoughtful and well constructed. The one in this song is outstanding.
I wish they hadn't given it such a shite music video though. I want to puke on the people who acted in it, the people who directed it, and anyone who enjoyed it.

AFAIK there's no official music video unless you are talking about the one in the "MIH The Films" video...

all the fans in here know how much Brian had to put into that solo...it prob. took him a month :)
seriously, there's some amazin' "needlin" on the track - hats off to D.R. for the serious work on this - the track and its zillions of remixes was a major hit in the clubs - yeah, 1996!

Back Chat always jumps into my mind when I think of guitar solo's that are a lot better than the songs they are in
