The Story Behind: Queen - A Night at the Opera, Ep. 255 — 1001 Album Complaints

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Queen was given the keys to the studio and knew they had one more shot at the big time, so with A Night at the Opera their ambition hit new heights. Tom, Rob., and Allan welcome a special guest complainer and discuss Wayne's World, homemade guitars, and amplifiers pulled from the trash.
