One of Roger's fantastic contributions to News of the World, "Sheer Heart Attack" is Queen's one and only real punk number. And Roger wrote it years prior, during sessions for the album of the same name, when punk wasn't even a thing! In fact, this is almost a Roger solo track. He played several instruments, including bass (yeah, John sits this one out), and sings lead in the chorus. Freddie gives us major attitude in the verses, and Brian provides necessary guitar grit with impressive riffs. But, live? That's really where this song shines.
