This is my favorite song on the record hands down. There is a sarcastic element to it that I love. Every day we see more and more people transformed by the world around them. A lot of them are extremely vulnerable and can't even muster an intellectual defense against these ideals. Rather, they end up becoming someone they never wanted to be because the world tells them that it's important to "have this, buy that, look like this, and act like this." We have a heart for those that struggle with their own identity. This song is a wakeup call. Don't feed it, kill it. Destroy those ideals and define the world for yourself.

After all, Ronnie Wood told reporters last year, "I'd love to [play Glastonbury]. I'm always up for the festivals. As far as the Stones are concerned we haven't had a get-together for three years but it's high time."

He says: "I go out on stage and say 'turn it up' and I never get tired of playing my songs. They are just standing there. What is so hard? Jimmy Page wants to do it. John Paul Jones wants to do it.

A cold call to a club in Queens called the Popcorn Club and some fast talking by Simmons scored the group a three-night stand (two sets a night) at the venue, from January 30 through February 1, for a flat fee of $150. The first night of the stand gave almost no portent of the massive success to come. The group played to three people during their first set and no more than 10 over the course of the evening. The next two days were hardly better.

The four piece rock band comprised of Joe Bonamassa (guitar, vocals), Jason Bonham (drums), Glenn Hughes (vocals, bass) and Derek Sherinian (keyboards), play:

The song's producer, Roy Thomas Baker, spoke about how Freddie initially played him the opening ballad of the song on the piano: "He played the beginning on the piano, then stopped and said, 'And this is where the opera section comes in!'" Queen had a history of writing much of their material in the studio, but with "Bohemian Rhapsody," guitarist Brian May said that the song was "very much in Freddie's mind" before they started playing with it in the studio. May felt that the epic song was "intriguing and original, and worthy of work."
