Brian May and Roger Taylor on Queen’s Masterpiece
Making the most-streamed song from the 20th century took ambition, hard work, and a dash of opera
September 24, 2025
Their real life was about to slip into fantasy, which was pretty much the plan. At the tail end of the 1960s, Roger Taylor and Freddie Bulsara would lie on the floor together, head to head, getting lost in Electric Ladyland, talking about their future.
Maybe they’d share a bottle of wine, nothing stronger. “Fred and I were no good at smoking weed,” Taylor says, more than five decades later. “I used to think my head was on fire at the back. It never did agree.”
Even before Bulsara joined the band that became Queen and renamed himself Freddie Mercury, he and Taylor shared a velvet-heavy fashion sense, a passion for Jimi Hendrix, and some fat-bottomed ambitions. “We wanted to be the best,” says Taylor. “We both really wanted success.” Queen’s drummer is, at the moment, sitting in a vast living room on his 18th-century estate in the British countryside, amid 48 wooded acres. He might not have made it here without the song we’re here to discuss, the moment Queen reached as far as any band ever dared, then went a bit further, and then added a few more “Galileos” for good measure: “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
The track, first played on U.K. radio in October 1975 and squeezed onto a seven-inch single at the end of that month, has become the most-streamed song from the 20th century, with more than 2.8 billion plays on Spotify alone. “Incredible,” Brian May says when I visit him the next day. “‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ doesn’t get old, does it? And I suppose that’s the magic for us. We’re lucky that we don’t get old.” He pauses and makes a slight correction. “The music doesn’t seem to get old.”
The statistic leaves little doubt: Queen’s biggest song is on its way to becoming the rock era’s most lasting artifact, Figaro, Beelzebub, and all. “Bohemian Rhapsody” is a five-minute-and-54-second remnant of a brief slice of time when musicians could afford to spend weeks slathering overdubs onto a single track, when engineers made edits with a razor on magnetic tape, when bands raced to push the limits of song structure and recording technology, and maybe when, as Taylor caustically argues, “you actually had to be good at your instrument — that doesn’t seem to be a necessary requisite these days.” Even as Queen labored over “Rhapsody” and the rest of their fourth album, A Night at the Opera, the clock was ticking. Two weeks before the album’s release, the Sex Pistols played their first show in London.
(To hear an audio documentary version of this article on our Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, press play above, or go to Apple Podcasts or Spotify.)
The song is also, of course, an eternal encapsulation of the brilliance, wit, and pain of its lead voice and composer, Freddie Mercury, who died of complications from AIDS in 1991 when he was just 45. “In certain areas, we feel that we want to go overboard,” he said. “It’s what keeps us going really, darling.… We’re probably the fussiest band in the world.”
On a pleasant late-spring morning, Taylor’s side doors are flung open to his sprawling garden. Somewhere out there, not quite in sight, is a 20-foot-high fiberglass statue of Mercury that once advertised the We Will Rock You musical.
Taylor is positive his late friend would’ve found its new home hilarious. Elsewhere among the greenery is the very same 60-inch gong we hear Taylor strike in the final seconds of “Rhapsody.” “I remember Led Zeppelin had a gong,” Taylor says with a smirk. “So we had a much bigger gong. Pathetic one-upmanship, really.”

Queen
The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke
(after a painting by Richard Dadd)
"And the Archmagician presides,
He is the leader."
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? "Bohemian Rhapsody" got its first radio play almost 50 years ago. @RollingStone spoke with Brian May and Roger Taylor about how Queen's biggest song was made, what Freddie Mercury's famous lyrics mean, and the late singer's enduring presence in their lives. “Brian and I often think he’s in the room in the corner,” says Taylor. “’Cause we know exactly what he’d say and what he’d think. Even though it was all those years ago now that we lost him.”

En choisissant de dévoiler ces fragments de vie, Dove Cameron transforme son art en miroir de son histoire personnelle.
Un texte qui magnifie l’amour
Des références iconiques pour décrire son compagnon
La chanson est traversée de métaphores qui inscrivent Damiano David dans une mythologie intime. Dove Cameron le compare tour à tour à Freddie Mercury, Steve McQueen ou Tony Soprano, autant de figures qui incarnent la force, la liberté et le charisme. Ces références traduisent l’admiration et l’attachement profond qu’elle éprouve pour son partenaire.
Le choix d’un univers pop affirmé
Au-delà du texte, Whatever You Like confirme le virage pop amorcé par l’artiste. Ce single s’inscrit dans la continuité d’une carrière musicale en pleine mutation, amorcée avec l’album Alchemical: Volume 1 (2023). En mêlant émotions personnelles et esthétique pop, Dove Cameron consolide son identité artistique auprès d’un public fidèle.
Une nouvelle étape dans sa carrière

La publication de ce single, enrichie d’images intimes, renforce le lien qui unit le duo à leurs communautés respectives. Loin d’une mise en scène artificielle, leur histoire devient un élément central du récit artistique de la chanteuse.
Avec Whatever You Like, Dove Cameron offre bien plus qu’un nouveau single : elle livre une véritable déclaration d’amour, filmée et chantée, où l’intime rencontre la création artistique. Ce choix audacieux marque une étape importante dans sa carrière et confirme son évolution vers une pop moderne et personnelle, en phase avec son histoire et ses émotions.
