Freddie Mercury wrote this and dedicated it to Norman Sheffield, Queen's former manager and a co owner of Trident Studios. Queen felt that Norman had not provided them with the support they needed.The surviving band members noted the unhappy atmosphere in the Days of our Lives documentary, explaining that the band felt hard done by when they were producing hit singles without seeing any of the money - and with incidents such as Roger Taylor being told he couldn't hit the drums too hard as they supposedly "couldn't afford" new drumsticks. But as Taylor noted, "you see them (the management) running around in stretch limos and think 'hang on there's something not right here!'" The split occurred under very acrimonious circumstances, and this song acted as something of a final word from the band. The lyrics form a harsh character portrait that outline the band's full animosity towards their former acquaintance. Mercury was reportedly not a fan of the song after writing it, having felt it was too angry and bitter, but May encouraged him to complete it. On the Live Killers version, Freddie Mercury introduced this song by saying, "This is a song about a real motherf--ker of a gentleman!"

[@robertoricci3393]

The intro is just fantastic! First the piano, then it shifts to guitar, so chaotic and angry, it builds in intensity, to the overbearing... I don't know what instrument it is, but it's like a musical shriek. Then it abruptly stops, the piano begins again as though the song has reset. It's like the anger gets so intense that it has stop and restart to get focused to deliver the delightful comebacks. Such a fantastic song!

*Not-so-fun fact:* Freddie dedicated this song to Norman Sheffield (Queen's former manager and a co-owner of Trident Studios who was basically robbing them of their money at the time) after being released from that management, Freddie wanted to express his feelings towards the man in a song. Gary Langhan remembers when Freddie took his headphones off after laying his vocal tracks on DOTL, he witnessed blood pouring out from Fred's ears just from the sheer anger he put into the song, and sometime later on Freddie said that his throat was literally bleeding because he went so hard on the song.

@@kangurukaiser9395 I'd rate May over van Halen. Brian might not be quite as technical, but he's got more depth of feeling to his playing, and I'd say he's a better songwriter by far.

Love that beginning, man. Starts nice and soft, into a chaotic jumble of sound and then just cuts off abruptly for the lyrics to kick in. It give you a quick taste of the song's intense nature.

"How Do You Sleep?" was a diss track in 1971. It's nothing new.

I was in my bed, half-asleep with my Queen playlist playing on the TV, and this one came on. I really overlooked it before, but I honestly think this might be one of their best songs ever!

[@NeneSimone]

This is the best and classiest diss track in my book.

[@tullfan7872]

This song has the most brutal guitar interlude/transition in it I've ever heard! I first heard A Night At The Opera in the late-70s and have never forgotten this song. Bohemian Rhapsody and '39 were the other great songs on the album.

[@neuralmute]

I danced my last number ever in the world's bitchiest burlesque troupe to this song. Queen were always my favourite go-to band for stage music, so it just felt right to end with two middle fingers raised high to a couple of "directors" who didn't deserve the title. And the audience ate it up with a spoon.Taking the backstage drama onstage, and then leaving it there! ;D

This song accurately describes my anger and resentment towards all those people in my life who betrayed me, stabbed in back and became turncoats for their own selfish desires. It counts in some people from elementary school, high school and two of my former roommates.

[@douglas2902]

I've listened to a lot of rock n roll albums and "A night at the opera" has to be one of the greatest albums ever made. The album "The game" introduced me to queen. That album in its self was an eye opener. One of my favorite bands every album was a piece of magic 🎩 ✨️
