"Yes. I used on of Roger's really old, beat up, natural wood Telecaster. I got bludgeoned into playing it. That was Mack's idea. I said 'I don't want to play a Telecaster. It basically doesn't suit my style.' But 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' was such a period piece, it seemed to need that period sound. So I said, 'Okay, Mack, if you want to set it up, I'll play it.' He put it through a Mesa/Boggie, which is an amplifier I don't get on well with at all; it just doesn't suit me. I tried it, and it sounded okay."<br><br> | "Yes. I used on of Roger's really old, beat up, natural wood Telecaster. I got bludgeoned into playing it. That was Mack's idea.

"'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' took me five or ten minutes. I did that on the guitar, which I can't play for nuts, and in one way it was quite a good thing because I was restricted, knowing only a few chords. It's a good discipline because I simply had to write within a small framework. I couldn't work through too many chords and because of that restriction I wrote a good song, I think." Freddie Mercury - 02/05/1981, Melody Maker
