"It's Late" is a song written by Queen guitarist Brian May and performed by the band for their 1977 album News of the World. The song was May's idea of treating a song as a three-act theatrical play, and the verses are called "acts" in the lyrics sheet. It makes use of the tapping technique a few months before Eddie Van Halen's use of the tapping technique on the Van Halen album. May told Guitar Player Magazine that his use of the tapping technique was inspired by an unnamed bar-band guitarist from Texas. The song is notable for its length and heavy, wide vocal range (E3-E6), bluesy guitar riff, using the previously mentioned technique.
The lyrics describe a love affair that is on the verge of ending.
The song was released as a single in the US in 1978, albeit in heavily edited form, and peaked at #72 on the Billboard charts. The song was later included on the Queen Rocks compilation in 1997, and a new video was produced using footage of Las Vegas and prostitutes, intercut with live performances of the song.
The song appears in the 2006 documentary film Kurt Cobain: About a Son. The song also plays over the credits in the Jody Hill film Observe and Report.

All dead my boi
The entire band is GREAT!!! but the guitar player wow. spot on man! Congrats guys!!!!!
Did these young folk capture the energy? YES. Did they make it their own? YES. Can that kid play guitar? YES. A killer jam of the best Queen song. As others have said, this song is so under appreciated. Luckily, people 1/2 my age are making it relevant.
Great way to cover this with two lead singers! Best part is you look like you are all having a great time playing this. And fun is what music should be all about
Guitarist. Bloomin' 'eck! Brilliant!
Brilliant - I have waited for ages for somebody to do it.
Nice guitar cover. Hard to get that right
Great song choice for a guitar player graduation. Awesome guitar. Great lead singer as well.
One of my favourite Queen songs and you guys killed it! Great job.
My favourite Queen song ever since i first heard it in 77.. Love this version, captured the whole spirit and added your own goodness to it with the hugely spirited soaring vocals.. the harmonies were fantastic.. i see people pointing out every minor glitch but I'm in awe.. another Sydneysider here too
My favourite Queen song... I wasn't sure what to expect. But I really enjoyed this! Good job.
We love covering this song during out set! Such an amazing lesser known Queen song. Great job covering it. This song is soooooo difficult to master. Bravo!

well guys, i've been a fanatic since 76 and this is my all time favourite Queen song, to cover this is bold and you can hold your heads high, obviously nobody is gonna sound like Queen but you done a great job, well done 👑✊🇬🇧
Fantastic !
Awesome cover. Hope you all are still singing, playing, having fun and rocking after all these years.
Hell yes. Great job. Tough song to cover and you....nailed it. Nice to see young folks giving respect to the gods.
Wow these are talented young people!!! What a cool version.
Absolutely amazing! Congrats!
Oh fantastic!
Wow, 10 years ago (just saw this)? Great Job...Go RYAN!! Loved it when the girl in yellow dress got excited when she hit the high screech!! (No worries about the Lyric goof ; ) They all did well, but GEEZ, give the Bassist some more love/camera time! 😉 Where are they all now? Hope they continued on with a musical career or still rocking!!! 👍🤟
Holy cow this is amazing! Absolutely stunning all round - vocals and harmonies and the lead guitar: just wow. 15 out of 10!
So good ! Brilliant. Great tribute.
Fantastic version. Loved it. Iv been a Queen fan right from the start. Your version is a wonderful interpretation of a monster of a song. Fair play!!
Great version makes you realise how incredible original vocals were that it requires a duet.
great!
My favorite song of all time. Seen queen on many occasions and they never had this as part of their set when i see them. Great to hear you cover this, nice guitar work and well done on the singing, Freddie songs ain’t easy to sing because of his silly range and power. Good effort girls and great taste.
Can I say this been a QUEEN fan since 1974 I think it's just brilliant that young groups like these are playing and singing the songs QUEEN made and recorded before they were born congrats to them and long may it continue 👍
Me quito el sombrero

INCRIVEL
I hope that you don't get pissed when I turn your beautiful cover into a MP3 so I could bump in on the road. Badass cover, Freddy would have adored it & that's from the heart.
one of the best queen covers I have ever seen, and I am very pickey mickey with that. Great, I like everything, the voices and guitar. Excellent.
Amazing cover of this great song, guitar is excellent and I am a life long hardcore Queen fan (before they were cool with mainstream), well done.
very good guys and girls.....marvelous...I love Queen songs. Good guitar solo. (José Lourival Ramos - from: Brazil)
Wonderful cover. I love your choice of vocal harmony (the second voice being different than on the original). You kept true to the arrangement, but added a personal touch, which I guess is the hallmark of a pleasant cover. Good on ya.
You guys rock
Great job.
Smashed that! 👍
❤💙
It's a very good cover! Nice job!
You're amazing guys!! I know it's late to comment but not too late.
