Don't Stop Me Now

Since the search function does not work, I'll post this question here:


What is Brian's beef with the song "Don't Stop Me Now"?

On "Greatest Video Hits 1" Roger makes mention of this.

Thanks.

It's about the video - not the song.

Apparently the director wanted the entire band to stick closer together while filming and since they were using the JAZZ tour stage for the shoot Brian would have preferred them being as they are onstage (live) and using the entire set for the shoot and not just center stage. I can see his point because with such a great stage and lighting rig none of it was really justified in the video.

no afence to mcfly, but they killed the song.

Hell yeah!

I didnt think it was all bad cos its better than some of the covers of DSMN that ive heard! And since McFly did the cover loads of people i know have started liking Queen and they hated them before!

Exactly.

DSMN won best drivin song on Top Gear last year - Brian refused to collect the award as he "hates the song" - Jeremy Clarkson

I heard it was because he had such a small part in it...

Shame if that's true... it's one of his best solo's, and one of Queen's best songs.

I hope its not because he thinks he had such a small part in it :S I can't think of Brian being that petty though.

easily One of my personal favorites, but what's the big deal?.....Brian doesn't have to like every song written by freddie, roger and john. I'm sure freddie wasn't crazy about every single song written by brian. It's not a big deal.

Can you post a source for this please, Anagramer?

I wonder what the Jazz sessions were like, especially deciding what songs went on the album seeing as Freddie hated "Dreamers Ball" and Brian hated "Don't Stop me Now".
