Did you all know John Deacon wrote "Back Chat" to get back at Brian when he was bullying john about including some guitar licks in the song? Brian was very against The Hot Space album and difficult to work with at that time so i have been reading from fans, and even at a Hot Space press conference John sat next to Brian but Brian never looked at John once even when he was speaking as Brian was fuming...........Freddie said Brian was always difficult in the studios and once said he had not punched him yet but there was still time ! |

Lol if only this was true. |

Apparently this story is very well documented among Queen fans and is old news! |

What? No. How could John write a song about an incident that was happening about a song that had been written already? |
Star* 12.09.2019 13:11 |
Brian was already having a dig at John while John was writing "Back Chat" and john did not really want any guitar licks on the song so Brian got lippy with John and a row began....... the rest is history Hint the lyric towards Brian " You stand so tall you don't frighten me at all don't talk back don't talk back just leave me alone" |
The Ghost of Lester Burnham 12.09.2019 13:37 |
OK. |

Source? |

While this isn’t my favorite song, the background of it is interesting if true. If we could get a source, that would be great. Just wondering how would the fans know what happened unless they were there or are they speculating? Regardless, I could see how John could’ve written this in the context he did just by observing their personalities. John doesn’t say much but can really punch back when he wants to. :) |

It's just pure bollocks. |

^^^ More than likely is pure bollocks but even if it were true it's meaningless, they regularly had disagreements in the studio, I'd wager most bands do when you have people all with their own ideas of what's best and differing tastes in music, they've said the push and pull in the studio is what made for great music. |

Looks like the dickhead is back. John wrote AOBTD because he licks carpets too. Its true because I just thought of it. |

Maybe John did write a song about an incident that was happening about a song that had been written already. However, it's also possible that the song is an angry prediction that 2 years later Brian would insist on having a guitar solo in I Want to Break Free. John's original idea was that he would play a face-melting solo on his triangle. Apparently, ahem, -- and this story is very well documented among Queen fans and is old news! -- John originally called the song I Want to Break Brian's Legs, but was talked out of it by Fred. |

I don’t know where these interpretations are coming for as I thought it was common knowledge amongst Queen fans that it’s very much about one of the band members, presumably Brian. It’s off of Hot Space which was the album John’s influence touched the most and Brian and Roger were both reluctant about it and argued a lot. A level of tension grew, and it’s palpable in interviews, particularly between John and Brian. Reading their statements about the era and watching the interviews you can see that Brian was angry during the time, and John was incredibly smug, as one might be after one of your best friends demands to have a guitar solo on a track that you wrote to retaliate against him. Additionally, John wrote AND PLAYED most of the guitar in the song, which isn’t true for pretty much any of the other songs they’ve done. Brian only played the solo.One of the comments that i've found searching for the meaning of the song through web. Although the guy generally talks bollocks, this one makes perfect sense. Can anyone provide a possible alternative meaning of this song and explaing the evolution of the title? Afaik the song was initially called Wooly Hat. |

Brian's Hair looks like a wooly hat. You set that one up on purpose didn't you? |

But we won’t actually get to see it happen until 2021, the year Freddie Mercury proves he was Jesus Christ all along finally explaining why he wrote that track in 1973. Some of you mofos need to get a good grip on your Queen history. That movie was totally inaccurate. |

If the song was about Brian May guess neither of their wives were aware of his development in Munich. |

Uuurgh, where is John when u need him? (Who dares to ask?) |
Star* 13.09.2019 18:05 |
Makes sense to me and that is why John refused to stay in the band after Freddie died. Yes he hung around to finish of the Made In Heaven album before you all rant at me, but come on John & Brian had some tension going on between them. |
Helena Dax 14.09.2019 01:17 |
I think Back Chat was inspired by John's frustration towards Brian at the time, which is well documented, but it doesn't mean necessarily that every line of the song is specifically about Brian, just that he was probably the starting point. |
