Another One Bites the Dust
Queen + Paul Rodgers Lyrics
Steve walks warily down the street,
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready,
Are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to get along,
Without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had,
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Deacon was influenced by the Chic song Good Times. In an interview with the New Musical Express, Chic bass player Bernard Edwards said: “Well, that Queen record came about because that bass player spent some time hanging out with us at our studio. But that’s OK. What isn’t OK is that the press started saying that we had ripped them off! Can you believe that? ‘Good Times’ came out more than a year before, but it was inconceivable to these people that black musicians could possibly be innovative like that. It was just these dumb Disco guys ripping off this Rock ‘n’ Roll song.”
Deacon played most of the instruments on the track: lead and rhythm guitars, bass, reversed piano and additional percussion. Brian May did some guitar effects with harmoniser (in the interlude), and Roger Taylor played the drum loop. Surprisingly, there are no synthesizers. The drum track and the hand claps were looped. They repeat throughout the song.
While the band and producer Reinhold Mack were mixing the track, Brian May’s roadie suggested it to be released as single; the band didn’t like the idea but were finally talked into doing it when Michael Jackson, after a concert, suggested the same idea.
Deacon claimed in a 1980 interview that Roger Taylor opposed the song’s drum beat. However the drummer denied this in an interview with Mojo magazine October 2008. He insisted: “I’d already had an ineffectual pop at that kind of music with ‘Fun It,’ on the Jazz album. I was never against Another One Bites The Dust, but I was against releasing it as a single.”
Freddie Mercury loved this track. Brian May recalled to Mojo: “Freddie sung until his throat bled on Another One Bites The Dust. He was so into it. He wanted to make that song something special.”

As great a singer Paul is and I give him props for putting his own spin on the songs but it's not doing justice to Freddie
AEC
To all the haters out there, the band sound fab here with the extra guitarist (Jamie Moses) which they are lacking now. And why are we taking the mick out of Paul Rodgers, when Brian and Roger took him on...they said they didn't want a soundalike. They just wanted to continue the music and have a blast doing so. Which...clearly they are. It sounds absolutely brilliant
Paul Thomas Johnson
Paul Rodgers brings a lot of soul and new dynamics to Queen, but on this tour he looked very bored. While Adam has a huge amount of energy, his flamboyance makes him feel like a Freddie imitator.
Carol Hagerty
I think you have forgotten just how theatrical Freddie was. Adam brings that back with his showmanship. Paul lacks that, this performance is so boring and bland. Adam is exciting, entertaining, and fun to watch. And not to mention the sheer energy he brings to the songs. His voice fits so, so much better for Queen’s music. I feel like yawning when I listen to Rodgers.
Steve Ross
This vid maintains Queens status as premium Rock band.......with Lambert they have moved into almost vaudeville.......he's just TOO theatrical!!!.
Won't be surprised if they announce they're doing 6 months in Vegas.
