Why Queen played "Lose yourself" by Eminem in Intro?

I thought it was because:

* Brian liked the meaning of the Eminem song (only one chance : grab it before it's gone; final chance to see "queen") and thought it fitted well as an opening for the Q+PR tour.
* Brian likes Eminem because he says / does whatever he wants.
* Eminem sampled a bit of a queen song.

I think it was the perfect house music for the tour. It's an energetic song, and ideal to get you into the right mood and mindset.

And it proved to be a perfect intro.
