Brain wrote both the music and the lyrics to this song. You people never read his soapbox? Between all this rubbish about orbs, planets and stereo images there sometimes *is* a nugget of wisdom to be found there, you know.

Yes, unfortunately people can't listen to the truth. Just because Brian says he wrote the song, people still think it's Freddie. How could Brian write it with those meaningful lyrics, indeed! lol
Peace,

Same with the Bohrap solo. People think Brian is lying when he says he wrote it. Because they always believed Freddie wrote every single bit of the song..
If Brian wrote it all, why is it credited to both of them, even on this site?
As about the Bo Rhap guitar solo (if that's what you mean), on the DVD of GH1 Brian says that Freddie actually conceived it, too, the riff and all. He gave him the freedom to intervene, but it was Freddie who composed it.
But in the end we'll find out that Brian did about everything and Freddie just tried to sing. Maybe not so well after all.

Possibly because Brian felt that Freddies contribution to the lyrics was great enough to warrant inclusion in the credits. There's no magic formula for this, you know.

The hardrcok riff is not the same as the solo.

Bollocks. You're being a drama queen. I'm interested in facts. If people say that Freddie wrote TSMGO and TATDOOL then I'll tell them they are wrong. If people say Brian wrote Bijou are Hitman then I'll tell them they are wrong too.

ok, maybe I'm taking it too much to heart, but if Freddie's contribution to the lyrics was big enough to warrant the credits, what are we talking about? Moral contribution or factual one?

Collaboration, that's also slang for you-know-what.

I don't see why you should apologise at all. Your description was clear and well thought out. Too bad that others don't have the integrity to pick up on it. I don't know why you all seem to think it's oblique- it's pretty obvious as to what it's about and fried Chicken laid that out very well. Get off your moral high horses!

I don't see why he should apologise quite frankly. What's he done wrong?
