Vickeybird from Pune, -And the walking bass lines which really swings it. Now, 5 years later.I only know 2 chords on guitar."įor the record, Freddie actually did know a lot more guitar, though.according to 'As It Began' (the official biography of the band), when the band all shared a flat in the early days, Freddie used to walk around, strumming "Pinball Wizard" while everyone else was trying to sleep.

John from Nashville, TnCountry artist Dwight Yokam and r&b diva Diana Ross covered this song. Louis, MoI always laugh at the "READY FREDDIE!" part, I don't know why. It was Roger Taylor's job to scream "Ready Freddie!" during the second verse, and he still does so when he plays the song (with May) today. Freddie purposely does an "Elvis impression" here, and to this day, some people think it is Elvis singing. According to Hince, the two of them then raced over to Musicland Studios so Freddie could get it down before he lost it. His longtime roadie Peter (Ratty) Hince, confirms this story as he was there in the hotel room in Germany when Freddie came out of the bath and asked for a guitar to finish working out the melody.

Scott from UsaThis song even though it was a throwback when it came out foreshadows the rockabilly revival that would come in the 80's with Brian setter and the stray cats.
