Here a comment from a HUGE fan of Queen. This song is so underrated and underground, only a big fan of Queen knows this song and agrees that Queen II is a Masterpiece, specially the Black Side which includes this song. One of my favorite songs and you guys made it wonderful, this cover have the power and misticisim of the lyrics and music. A new Suscriber!! Greetings from Mexico.

One of the most difficult and underrated Queen songs indeed. And it is quite a good performance of it! I wanted to like it but it seems I already did a while ago :D

One more HUGE Queen fan here - everything was great, but the Middle (Instrumental) Section blew my mind! AMAZING! :)

[gerardj.vandenberg]

Amazing! Accurate, played with respect for the original, and played with such joy!

WOW, you guys nailed it. I love this song so much, the lyrics and music itself, everything. You did a wonderful job; I will bet most Queen fans would agree. Thanks for the post.

I fell in love with this song when I was 12, and bought the album some time later. Great performance!

[GrassLion]

I have never heard a cover of this, and Holy sh*t you absolutely nailed it! So good

[nickjoy]

Very, very creditable rendition! Huge thanks for that guys- this song like no other illustrates the genius of Queen lyrically. I'd love to see anyone else get the tongue twisting word 'tatterdemalion' into a song! Beautiful song and I hope Freddie would heartily approve of your cover. I shall be back to savour this many more times, thanks again.

I can only imagine that the 3 thumbs down was due to the fact that they didn't continue with 'Nevermore', nonetheless, outstanding effort.

Genial! I'm so glad to see when someone appreciates Queen music from their best era. You guys did it great!
