This song totally bangs, its basically a precursor to thrash and def one of my own personal favorite queen songs. BTW, I suspect you don't get more Queen requests because of public perception of the band. Queen has like 10 or 20 songs that are considered to be some of the most classic rock songs ever made, so much so that they are overplayed to DEATH, enough that many people are actually tired of hearing them even despite them being so good (looking at you "We are the Champions"). The reality is that Queen has 15 albums, most of which people have never actually heard, and are a far deeper and more interesting band than many people give them credit for.

[@justincase733]

Queens music is just so melodic and well layered. Freddy Mercury's solo stuff is just as good as well.

[@Ecmredsoxslipknot]

Thanks for saying this. I took the time to listen to all of their albums a year or two back and I was amazed at how many fantastic songs of theirs are completely underrated. I love all the hits, too, but Queen is so much more than that!!

Kinda crazy that I see more comments about the Metallica cover than about this original version of the song.

All band members sang, wrote songs, & played multiple instruments. All have college Degrees. May. Guitarist. Has a PHD. In astrophysics. He sometimes works with NASA. He even wrote, & sang a science fiction leaning folk song. About time dilation. Called 39. If you do dig deeper. Especially into the first five albums. You will find their voices were interchangeable. Sometimes within the same song. The fact that Fred could sing any style, & they as a whole. Could play any style. Meant. Four people writing songs. With very different musical tastes, & influences. Could play / sing. What they wrote, & smash it out of the park. Note. Brian does sing lead on at least one track. Sometimes more. per album. That said. Live. He let Fred sing them. While he focused on playing guitar / providing backing vocals. If you want to hear him. You have to react to the studio cuts. Roger sang lead on several songs as well. Its what made listening to their albums interesting. You never knew what, or whom. You were going to hear.

Stone Cold Crazy” was called “thrash metal before the term was invented.” It was initially written by Freddie and he played an early version in the late 60s with one of his earlier bands, Wreckage (a sort of Hendrix-style, blues band). It underwent many changes musically and lyrically before getting recorded by Queen, resulting in credit going to the entire band. BTW - BoRap 1.5 BILLION not million

WOW, never thought I'd see a reaction to these kind of songs... Queen has a lot of hits to react to but I'm really happy that you went that far back and picked this one instead of "Now I'm Here" or "Killer Queen"... This is one of my fav Queen albums right beside "Queen II". In the same line of thought, reacting to less known Queen tracks, I'd suggest a song with the same title as this album: "Sheer Heart Attack" from the album "News Of The World" from 1977 that has probably a even more punk-rock feel to it... that's the year of Sex Pistols so it makes more sense... but yeah, "Stone Cold Crazy" was at least 3 or 4 years ahead of it's time just considering the uninvented "Punk". Hope to see a few more of these forgotten pearls of the Queen discography... this album has a big load of awesome songs "Brighton Rock", "Tenement Funster" , "Flick Of The Wrist", "Bring Back That Leroy Brown" or "In The Lap Of The Gods" and, of course "In The Lap Of The Gods (Revisited)"... it's an awesome album!

@Lost In Vegas If you fellas can disregard that absolutely no one else will make this suggestion, then I got something really good for you. You should do a run through of the entire Queen II album. While it had moderate sales after its release, it has become well revered by the fan base over time, and many (including me) see it as their best album, and that is saying something considering their body of work!! Brian's guitar work is simply stratospheric and of course Freddie and the boys show up hard too. Some of the songs run together so you would actually get 5 or 6 or maybe 7 videos out of the whole thing. Procession/Father to Son/White Queen would be #1 as they all run together. Someday One Day (Brian on vocals) and Loser in the End would be #2 (Roger on vocals) as they do too. That would conclude side White. (yes, they named it that). From side Black, (where Brian *really* rips) Ogre Battle would be #3, a solo video. Then, The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke and Nevermore run together and would be #4. Next is The March of the Black Queen and Funny How Love Is together for #5. Then finally, the only song that got any radio airplay at the time and since, The Seven Seas of Rye for #6. This album absolutely defines the term "hidden gem". You guys may end up putting the whole thing on your playlists. It really is *that* good.

I think there is a great study to be had on Queen's Live Killers album songs vs. the studio versions of some of the songs. Because of Queen's heavy production and layering in the studio, the live versions can be quite different than the studio version, but both are phenomenal in their own way. Best examples that pop to mind of this are "Death on two legs", "Let me Entertain You" and "Get down, make love". Would love to see some reactions comparing live/studio versions of these.

Gotta have a voice that can go anywhere & do anything as well as a larger than life personality to fill the shoes of the legendary Freddy Mercury. I think Freddy would approve.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love is basically a rockabilly number.

I saw them in concert twice, and OMG...they were electrifying...and luckily I was friend's with a bass player in a popular band (who will go unnamed) who brought me to a press party at Tavern on the Green in NYC. I think they had the same record label. Queen was standing around in a circle & being interviewed & there I was standing next to Brian May. All I could say was, "you're a great guitarist." He smiled & thanked me...sigh...LOL...

The fans are known as the "Queen Army" your sub count will go through the roof the more Queen you do. Especially if you do Live Aid 85 20 minute full set. No one could control a crowd of 70 plus thousand people the way Freddie could. The band was always better live than recorded, the editing equipment of the day took away from their talent, because raw, they were better than the editing equipment. Jump in the Queen rabbit hole, you wont want to come back up because they are going to take you for a ride and across so many genres of music. If you do live aid. please do the full set, not parts, if you do it in parts, you won't get the full effect of what went down in history as the best rock performance in history. The fundraiser was not bringing in much money, then Queen hit the stage and stole the show, and in their 20 minute set, raised 1.2 million dollars. Oh and here is a link to a live version of Stone Cold Crazy kzbin.info/www/bejne/imm1l5Vnf9mgn8U

Yes they are very versatile. Check out the songs LAZY ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON or '39 for example.

This song changed everything for me when I was getting introduced to rock and roll ! Under the radar! I got the sheer heart attack album when i was 10 in 1974!!!! I listened to this song over and over again playing on my brother’s hand me down record player!!!! I stared at Freddy Mercury’s black nail polish for hours on the cover of the album and immediately became a big ole rock and roll 🎸 gal!!! Good queen years!!!!!!! Listen to Brighton rock and let the magic happen!!!!

[@anthonymurray3550]

Queen - Dragon Attack

[@jstall20]

Their first two albums are pure metal af bliss. Give queen 2 a listen rn!

[@nickcolletta9140]

I started going to concerts in 1973 and continue to today. I saw Queen live in concert three times and without a doubt Freddie Mercury was the best front man I’ve ever seen. Mick Jagger is a close second. Brian May doesn’t get the recognition he deserves when people talk about the best guitar players of all time. Gentlemen, I suggest that you dive into Queen’s first album, you can start with “Liar” and keep going. I think you will enjoy almost every song on this fantastic debut album.

[@jomojojo6603]

Apparently, Freddie had the idea for this song 7 years before the album. And I totally agree that it is thrashy. I think the fact that Metallica covered it justifies that statement.

[@davidmericle1125]

Definitely hit up Metallica's cover of stone cold crazy it has just enough Metallica without taking away from queen it hits just right.

[@brandonkief3278]

If you ever saw Baby Driver there is an awesome Queen song in that called Brighton Rock! it so good and great guitar work by Brian May! Queen were able to play just about any Genre they wanted and they were still touring with Adam Lambert as the singer with them. I saw them a few years ago and it was a great show! Unfortunately I never got to see them in their prime but Queen have outlasted most new bands and will be remembered for a very long time!

[@AL13NM]

METALLICA Killed this cover of an amazing song! Next Queen song should be SOMEBODY TO LOVE Live, is AMAZING!!!

[@richpeltier9519]

This song hits so hard, when Metallica covered it decades later it didn't really get any harder. Rich the Ancient Metal Beast

[@dananewsom5483]

Fat Bottom Girls - you wanna do some more Queen, you gotta do Fat Bottom Girls 🤣

[@danishhussain7127]

There are so many songs that can be called Thrash released before the Big4 came into the scene for example, Paranoid, Into the Void, Am I Evil and so on.

[@njmorrison3851]

Queen are still touring, I seen them on Friday night, with Adam Lambert (from American Idol) singing. They played almost 3 hours and were amazing!

[@njmorrison3851]

And, yeah, I love this version, but Metallica's version is even better!
