Since there is bugger all to do in St Boswells except visit The Scott's View (that's for you, fudgeukraine) I have compiled a list of pointless Queen trivia. Enjoy and if you spot any flaws then you are a very sad individual with far too much time on your hands. Bryans Permed Poodle, you are just a very sad individual.

Hot Space is the first Queen studio album where Jobby is thanked.
Bohemian Rhapsody is the only Queen song where none of the words in the title are featured in the lyrics.

-- good up until that but sheer Heart Attack has two that doesn't mention the title in the lyrics, Tenement Funster and Brighton Rocks.
I wan gonna post about the Your Kind of Lover "Wanna boogie down with you brother" "talk it out man to man" stuff but I never got around to it, but yeah Freddie wasn't in any closet. It's pretty obvious he kept it real. Sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you dont. You may want a breast or some tuna.

Ah ROCK of ages do not crumble love is breathing still.
So BR's got one of the words in the title.
> Roger is the only Queen member not to play guitar on any album.
Roger played guitar in all albums from A Day At The Races to Hot Space and probably The Works as well.
> Freddie is the only Queen member to write a No.1 single alone.
They all did: Ga Ga, Break Free, Las Palabras ... if you mean in the UK, all but John: Rockyou was #1 when covered by Brian, Roger and Five; Days Of Our Lives (credited to the band but composed by Roger) was #1 as double A with Rhapsody.
Bo Rap single b side and A side is writtin by Roger.
1.1976 I'm in love with my car
2.1991 Uk= those were the days of our lives(credited to Queen but we now its Roger's song
Thanks for responding.
Good responses.
I wasn't sure about the title-lyrics thing. (Forgot about Tenement Funster!)
Roger isn't credited with guitar on any album.
As for number ones, I meant in the U.K.
He plays guitar on a couple songs from NOTW. He played on Sheer Heart Attack and Fight From The Inside. He even played bass on both too. I remember seeing it when I was litening to the album yesterday.

Sorry, I was looking at CD album credits!
They are on the CD album credits too are they not? In News Of The World, check below the lyrics for each song, and it has info about who sang it, who played the bass etc etc, same with A Day The Races, look after the Drowse lyrics, it says about Bri playing slide guitar and Rog playing rhythm or something similar.
