Opening like the introduction of a second act of a Rawk Show, Dead on Time is the song you play for people who THINK they Queen but only know the hits.
A blues breaker unequaled in the band’s repertoire, I played this track for my lead guitarist to show him…well, to show him why I loved Queen.
Building on the shredding of Keep Yourself Alive, Dead takes it to a whole bother level. It’s more aggressive then Brighton Rock or Stone Cold Crazy combined.
The harmonies are sparse but they kill when they need to. Freddie is there to serve the song, as is the rest of the band and they are all there to seve Brian’s guitar god majesty.
If you think you know Queen or you THINK because you like Tie Your Mother Down you are versed in Brian May and his contribution to the annals of rock, sit down, give this a listen and learn.
A masterpiece.
