Pleaaaasssseeee! I need to know where this is froooom?!?!?! I have always been a sucker for the legend of Roger’s hurt hands!

Outtake from Dead on Time (take 27(!!)). Brian messed up his lightning speed guitar intro...

Brian: Bollocks!

Roger: [...] can't even remember your own song!

Brian: Bollocks!

A gem and confirmed to make me appreciate Dead on Time a lil bit more. Thanks to the taper, Bob for sharing, Miles for remastering.

Edit: to counterbalance this mess up here is Brian talking more about it very recently:

John Deacon eu te amo

"John and Roger were very close, being the youngest ones in Queen. In the early days they would always make fun of the stupidest things and laugh constantly. They were best friends, and they grew closer as Queen got older."
