Why do you like it ?
Personally, when I first played it on Guitar Hero, I thought it sucked. Lyrics were absurd, music rhytm, tone etc. were changing frequently and made no sense at all.
Now, I like it a bit because of the romantic-sound beggining but I don't adore it.

And my mom, my dad etc. like it so much, even my friends.
Even a gaming magazine here wrote +It has Bohemian Rhapsody! in the "Plus-Minus" section

I don't like it, why do you ?

Bohemian Rhapsody is a pretty overrated song. It's good, yes, but as usual there are much better "epic songs" (songs that are split up into segments and tell stories) out there.

It's a good song, but i'm not really a fan of Queen. Plus Cengiz, the fact you have to play the Piano solo on the guitar just ruins it.

Maybe it'd be epic if you were getting fucked by Freddie Mercury. Which of course, isn't epic because you'd get AIDS and die.

Yeah, see, I didn't learn to love Queen until I heard Emilie's cover. Even though she swapped two of the lyrics in her version :/

Especially when she did it live last October. I can't even begin to describe that experience.

Well, I'm not a big classic rock person. Violindustrial is more my music. A rock song and a steampunk cover of said song are very different things.

I credit Queen, but I don't usually listen to the original.

Whaaat? I demand a source on this.

I never really liked Bohemian Rhapsody. In fact, the song kind of annoys me. It's all over the place. I just can't get into it and I don't really feel anything when I hear it.

How is Bohemian Rhapsody about Mercury dying of AIDS?

Also, how can "NEVERSHOUTNEVER" make a "good cover" of any Queen song?

Freddie wasn't diagnosed with AIDS until 1987. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' came out in 1975. Where in the hell have you been?

Just as I predicted.

Really, Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most overrated songs of all time.

It is definatly an over-rated and over-played song, but I still love it. But, I admit some parts of the song are just weird and some vocals are annoying (like that Galileo thing). I am a fan of Queen (not a big fan), and I think there are much better songs by Queen than Bohemian Rhapsody.

I think that's the best part of the song. It strays from your typical Queen guitar solos and heavy metal riffs.

No, it won't. It's overrated, overplayed, and fucking obnoxious to no end. Fuck being timeless.

Apparently to all the angsty teens in this thread :

Played a lot = Overrated.

Or better yet,

A large number of people like something = Overrated

Don't hate something because it's overrated; hate it for what it is. So don't hate Bohemian Rhapsody because allot of people like it or because it's critically acclaimed, but because it's just a dumb fucking song.

You people hate things for the wrong reasons.

I don't hate Bohemian Rhapsody. It just doesn't strike me as the amazing song that everyone orgasms over. It's like an introduction to rock opera. I mean, yes, it's a good song, but there's so much better in that genre and when you take a good listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, it's just basic Queen: lots of piano, ride cymbal and guitar solos.

It doesn't stand out. People act like it's the greatest song ever, but there's nothing incredibly special about it.

But it stayed at the top of Billboard's charts for 14 weeks! It must be that good then.

Wow! I've been totally and utterly convinced! I can't believe that many people liked it for that long! That means it must be one of the greatest songs of all time! Gosh, all the music buyers out there are so intelligent and have such great taste!

Word, is that the ONLY Queen song known? lol get one of their albums and listen to a song besides Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen has MANY more songs that are better, but it WAS a good song until people started playing it like it was the only song available like they did with "Blame in on the alcohol" Sick of it.
