About This Track

“In the Lap of the Gods” is, according to Mercury himself, the direct prelude to “Bohemian Rhapsody” and the A Night at the Opera album in general. There are fast piano arpeggios as in “Death on Two Legs” and some multi-tracked harmonies. Taylor provided the screams, which he proved weren’t artificially created when he did them every night during their world tour.

    Roger's voice is awesome in this wonderful song...I adore him, and long time Queen.

    The Wembley version gives me chills. But yeah, it's Revisited. Labeling fail.

    Revisited is better ?? Original one is so epic with this sick intro and fast piano arpeggios !!! Revisited version sounds more simple, less "in the lap of gods" in my opinion.
