Queen Deep Dive: We're gonna "Tear It Up"

The heaviest tune on The Works, "Tear It Up" comes at us hard and fast, courtesy of Brian's composition genius and Freddie's aggressive vocals. It echoes many previous Queen tracks (and not all of them are Brian numbers) but we welcome its unabashed sexiness and rousing, gritty rock 'n' roll vibe. It even mentions a previous well-known Queen song. Not a lot is said about this by critic or fan, and it's not the most impressive live Queen performance. But something about it keeps me coming back for more.
