About This Track

“Play the Game” is a song by Queen, written by Freddie Mercury. It is the first track on the first side of their 1980 album The Game. It commences with a series of overlapping rushing noises on an Oberheim OB-X synthesizer, heralding the band’s acceptance of electronic instruments into their once explicitly “no synths” sonic repertoire. They played it in their live shows from 1980 to 1982. The single was a hit in Queen’s home country reaching #14 in the charts. In America, however, it gained small response at reaching only #42.

Brian May's guitar tone on this song is one of my favorites of all time. He's often overlooked in the conversation of true guitar gods.

quite possibly the finest tear-jerker when you know you love someone who can't love you in return. You just want to tell them, "LET YOURSELF GO! This is your life, don't play hard to get. It's a free world. All You have to do is fall in love/play the game." But for Freddie, it was easier than the average man. So, we lament with this triumphant track and to Brian's guitar.

Yeah I think you're right about the synths, though I suspect it's like any band that gets caught up in whatever passing fad there was at the time- probably many contemporaries were using synths. Perhaps not.

Stupid synthesizers, however, it's a good song.
