What a remarcable song, what a great tune, wonderfull guitar sound,fantastic vocals and perfect drums and bass. So sinister and evil track, full of pathos and protest. Majestic and theatrical. Easly one of the best songs ever by any band and genre. -------------

Agreed. The work clearly reflects the structure of Bohemian Rhapsody, but I consider it to be even better than its archetype. This wonder progress from one musical style into another, which places it well into progressive rock standards. Not any particular Queen or other mainstream performers fan myself, but I too would keep this marvel in the pantheon of the greatest music ever. ------------- Writing about truth is a little bit like getting your dick out in public and hoping no one laughs (Steve Hogarth) |

I think Steve Howe plays the Spanish guitar part on that track. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

You know. I am not a huge Led Zeppelin fan, but a lot of Zeppelin-influenced progrock heavy rock epics really appeal to me. For instance Innuendo by Queen, or Still of the Night by Whitesnake or Valley of the Kings by Blue Murder or Mistral Wind by Heart. Innuendo is an odd song, really heavy metal in sort of ways, more reminiscent of Was It All Worth It, It's Late, Father and Son and Great King Rat than Bohemian Rhapsody. And yes, it's Steve Howe thats plays the spanish guitar solo. Incidently Brian May played the guitarsolo on When Death Calls on Black Sabbath's The Headless Cross. Again proving, Brian was more of a heavy metal guy than his bandmates.

Innuendo is fantastic. Easily as good as some of their best efforts from the 70's IMO. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Not my favorite from this era (that honor goes to "I'm Going Slightly Mad"), but still a fantastic song. ------------- He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball! |

| Definitely my favorite Queen song! It proves that even short(er) songs can be fantastic prog epics. IMO, Innuendo and The Prophet's Song both deserve as much recognition (if not more) than Bohemian Rhapsody. |
