Tie Your Mother Down

When Is Brian going to relise that Tie your mother down will never be a hit why do Queen Keep sticking it on singles like no 1 but u it wasnt a hit in 76 why will it be now

I reckon he'll figure it out before you learn to punctuate.

Which gives us years yet.

Maybe because every time the song comes on live, the crowd goes into mass hysteria. Just a thought......

The song did well on American Rock and Roll radio in 1977 but the Brits I suppose didn't want a heavy rock song like that as a hit!

Maybe it's because Brian wrote the song, and he's desparate to make it into a succesful single?

I'm sure someone has better statistics than I do, but I think the "Brian" singles haven't on average been as succesful as the other ones...

Tie Your Mother Down should of been a no.1 hit
its in my top 10 and it makes you go wild, and the reaction Brian gets from the crowed in concerts from this song is amazing...
I no everyone in hyde park was jumping and clapping to this song, its just so great!

Its one of my favourites.
Its a real rocker of a song, and really gets the crowds going. Also, messing around on guitar its a great one to play too ... the solos a bit tough though !

Um, because it freakin' rocks and drives the live audience wild, perhaps?

because it's kickass

blazing guitar riff. It sounds great live, too.

Go to the past and kill your mother before you are born.

its the kinda song that makes you want to drive 100 plus miles an hour down an american interstate highway.

Who needs music to want to do that?

What I meant was , it gets the adrenaline pumping. Atleast it does that to me anyway.

It a bit flat for me on ADATR but live its a killer.

MANY great Queen songs never will be hits and yet, they rock anyway. Don't rip on TYMD. It's a good Brian track!
