Queen comments about the record[edit]
Bass guitarist John Deacon claimed it to be his favourite Queen song.[3]
| “ | As a drummer, you need a sense of time, a sense of rhythm, a sort of inner clock and that you really need naturally. You have to have aggression and lastly I would say you definitely need stamina. But you do learn tricks, apart from the fact that you develop more stamina, your muscles get more used to what's demanded of them. We used to do a song called 'Dragon Attack' that was very hard on the right wrist. | ” |
| — Roger Taylor, 1993 | ||
