Queen for a Day - I Want it All

Who doesn't?

One of the biggest metal tracks in the canon, "I Want it All" is a post-apocalyptic dust bowl, get in the ring, shred-tastic track.

In many ways it's the anthem they hadn't really written in years. Certainly not, "Friends will be Friends". Sadly, while this song should have been a crowd pleaser, it was never played live by Freddie. He would be too sick to bring it to life.

A shame. It really fits the bombast that the was the band's wheelhouse. The bridge, sublime with it's give and take between Freddie and Brian's vocals, crashes into one of Brian's best solos which itself turns dark metal and then, at once, speed metal.

It's a hodgepodge, sure, but a rollicking ride.
