    Saw them in december 1974 in The Hague. The hall was only half filled because they were just starting their career. I couldn't believe what I heard and what I saw on stage. It was so vibrant and full of energy. They made it an unforgettable evening with Freddy in topform and a lot of fireworks. I remember that especially this song blew everyone away

      "Ogre Street" is most likely not referencing Ogre Battle, since Araki's references are often much more blatant. Ogre Battle doesn't match at all. There's no basis to assume the "Ogre" is referring to this song any more than it's referring to the mythical monster, since Ogre Street is a dangerous, "cursed" place.

      There's a lot of bands that are misunderstood by the average listener. A lot of people aren't familiar with Rush''s hard prog rock music of the 70s. Or they don't know how raw the Beatles were when they played clubs in Germany in 1961. Or they don't know that Deep Purple started as a classically influenced pop group, or they don't know how great Black Sabbath first six albums were. Queen are one of the most misunderstood bands though. For a lot of "fans" it's all about the Greatest Hits and Freddie the showman.

      Exactly the same thing that it does to me, every time! I believe Queen is a form of mastering skill, actually, esp. for misfits like me, living on the country side as a youngster, where nothing really changes (at least when it comes to narrow-mindedness....;))

    Early 70's Queen was really something else. This was from Queen II, released in March 1974, almost two years before ANATO which was November 1975. Pre-Bohemian Rhapsody there was so much great stuff.
    I love all eras of the band really, but I think people who don't listen to this earlier stuff are missing out on a lot. But you do see some of this hard rock energy on some of their stuff later on, particularly Hammer to Fall (1984) and Innuendo (1991). The Prophet's Song from ANATO is one of my personal favourites.

      one of Freddies,he normal wrote on piano,some songs write parts on guitar but this was one of few he wrote completly on guitar
      otherwise he would write on piano and Brian would transcribe onto guitar(but composed most of his solos)
      Freddie composed the entire song on guitar inc heavy metal style riff
      Brian only mentioned the riff in one interview
      but on others he did say he wrote all of it on guitar
      on the commentary he did with Roger for crazy little thing called love he said Freddie did all of it on guitar
      in an interview he said when Freddie did compose on guitar it was normally in odd keys that he wouldn't have used as your hand didnt naturally fall that way
      ' forced me to find ways of doing things create unusual sounds'

      The references in JoJo's is why I love it so much. It's rare that I don't get a reference and usually if I tell a family member about the character I didn't get the reference to they know it (usually it's an obscure artist from the 70's). I got my jjba birthmark tattoo and have been working on the manga for a while now. Nothing beats seeing David Bowie using queen references to kill shine on crazy diamond.

      "Ogre Street" is most likely not referencing Ogre Battle, since Araki's references are often much more blatant. Ogre Battle doesn't match at all.
