Talk:Now I'm Here

I doubt the Chuck Berry reference is deliberate. Martin Packer 20:19, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I think the song is full of Chuck Berry guitar phrases, the "queenie" quote can't be coincidence. I rather doubt that organ sound is a real organ. To me it sounds like a piano with truncated attacks (sort of compressor pumping) sent through a Leslie, the same piano as in the guitar solo. It could also be an "attackless" guitar, like the one in Liar which also sounds like an organ. --Suaheli (talk) 06:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I've changed my mind on those organ sounds. It's most likely a real organ, indeed. And in Liar, too! --Suaheli (talk) 03:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Hehe, those six last-minute-edits from 2 April 2008 are the funniest edits I've seen so far, I can literally feel the fight in the brain cells from minute to minute. :-) No harm, I'm with you! Seriously, why not just write: The song remained a live favorite, performed at virtually every concert – stop. I think it's obvious that they didn't play the song before it was written. So the exact time frame is self-explanatory, isn't it? --Suaheli (talk) 12:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

people keep removing this

• The lyric "Down in the city just Hoople and me" is a reference to when Queen was touring with the band Mott the Hoople earlier in their career. The "city" is "New york". "Hoople" is "Mott The Hoople".

• Near the end, the lyrics "Go, go, go, little queenie" can be heard, a reference to the Chuck Berry's 1959 B-side "Little Queenie."

• In concert, a double was used with lighting cues to create the illusion that Mercury was disappearing from one side of the stage and reappearing on another. The double was actually their road manager, dressed with Mercury's outfit and a wig.

Queen comments on the record

“ That was nice. That was a Brian May thing. We released it after Killer Queen. And it's a total contrast, just a total contrast. It was just to show people we can still do rock 'n' roll - we haven't forgotten our rock 'n' roll roots. It's nice to do on stage. I enjoyed doing that on stage. ” — Freddie Mercury

Homage to the Rolling Stones?

Someone said the song had an interpolation of a Rolling Stones song (near the end of the track)...is this true? --123.2.142.50 (talk) 00:16, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
