As a lifelong songwriter, I can tell you that there is nothing that makes you happier than having your song recorded and rerecorded and performed in different styles for decades. Nobody is spinning in their grave. If you don't like it, that's OK, but why do you have to be so mean?

As someone who has never written a song, it gives me great pleasure to say that I agree with the songwriter. Except who cares about those who choose not to enjoy a performance like that?

Well, to be fair, it's not that they choose not to enjoy it so much as that they publicly shit on it, which seems uncalled for

These people UNDERSTAND the essence and nature of this classic song. So rare among young people today. That's why they can take it, and go on with it, and take it to places it's never been, even make it a country song. And the song doesn't just survive, it thrives. Spectacular.

Band Perry once again blows the roof off another performance!!! Super, Super Talented Trio!!

I’ve always loved The Band Perry & it’s so great when I can find old clips with Fitzy in them! He can play that fiddle!🤘💪🤠

I play guitar for a living and I have played these songs for every blued eyed floozie on the way... I've never seen or heard them done this good !!!! God, she rocks !

A worthy rendition of this great song.

Still can't get enough of these renditions virtually every time I come to you tube to listen to other things! Thanks guys (and sweetheart)! Great performance!

Greetings from up the Street in Kingsport!

Curiosity brought me here, and I'm glad it did. This is such a killer version!

They honestly look like they are having so much fun while doing this performance. Wonderful tribute.

Band Perry are definitely not Pop Rock, although they occasionally cover rock songs. I don’t think they can be put into a single genre since they sing a bit of everything. Some of their pop music is definitely folk oriented while others are more “POP” oriented.

@@brandoncruise6398 I'm putting most country music in pop rock with a southern accent and a slide guitar category lol. Not just these guys. The entire industry sold out years ago.

Having been a fan of Queen for close to 50 yrs I'm fairly certain Brian May would enjoy this take on his classic.

Those three, The Band Perry, grew up playin' in the front yard of Grand Bay Medical Clinic where their daddy was a doctor...just another dot on the map of my small hometown of Grand Bay, Alabama. After college, I decided that I'd stay close to home and my office for the last 34 years has been in Moss Point, Mississippi which is actually the community of Escatawpa, which is the hometown of the rock group Three Doors Down. When it comes to music, to grow up in such super small places as Grand Bay, Alabama with The Band Perry and work in Escatawpa, Mississippi with Three Doors Down and the two communities only being ten minute drives apart...I'd say those of us who live on the Alabama and Mississippi Gulf Coast have been quite blessed!

I really like this band. Heard them on BBC Radio 2 this am. With Terry Wogan. So looked them up when got back and found this. Thanks for putting this on here. So much appreciated.

Damn proud of The Band Perry, here in East Tennessee! FUN version of a classic song!

This never ages! Still awesome ! Kimberly is still just as gorgeous today as she was when this song was posted in 2013..!

Cream rises to the top this overflowed!!! Such talent to cross music to different types and do it well

The Band Perry, been a fan since before they were even really popular. So talented. ✌🏻❤

Great Rocking Cover of The Queen Classic......Freddie would be smiling.....

Couldn't do this song again in today's PC world. But loved it then, and still (secretly, of course) love it now.

The Band Perry is most certainly a breath of fresh air in today's country music. Something different, indeed.

They were honoring the original, not saying we can do it better. I play guitar, not especially well but when I play a Zeppelin, Allman Bros or Thin Lizzy song it is just that, a tribute to the artist that did a song that I really love.

Bittersweet, simply beautiful.

For the gearheads, the gorgeous guitar she's playing with the strangely placed soundhole is a McPherson, handmade in Wisconsin and the most structural wonder in acoustic guitars since CF Martin set the standard a century ago.

Just saw them in concert last Sunday!! She sang this and the crowd went wild!!!!

I've never heard either of the brothers, do a solo until now! Pretty awesome. I liked their version of this song, as well!
